Foundation

The first thing I’d replace — because no one deserves to face the world without a good base. These are the foundations that make me feel like I have my life together, even when I don’t.

Don't let this stick foundation confuse you into thinking it must be dry. Let me tell you, it is not! It gives me all day hydration and does not break down or cling to dry patches.

This one is viral for a reason friends! Its literally a weightless foundation that looks like skin. It is a medium coverage and leaves natural skin finish.

Concealer

My emotional support product. These concealers erase exhaustion, bad decisions, and 4 a.m. anxiety scrolls — at least temporarily.

This medium-coverage, buildable, waterproof concealer. It smoothes, moisturizes and hides my dark under eye circles and does not sit in my fine lines. It is hydrating and SO good.

The name speaks for itself, this nars concealer is creamy and wears great under the eye. You can also use it to hide blemishes. My daughter actually uses this as her foundation lol.

Bronzer

🪞 BRONZER The comeback product I’d repurchase before groceries. These bronzers warm up my face and mood faster than sunshine and caffeine combined.

This is a hybrid of Blush and Bronzer but I love this for a nice sun kissed look. The fine, silky LES BEIGES Healthy Glow Powder is light to the touch and blends in seamlessly with a natural sheer finish.

I have the shade Terra and its a silky, buildable bronzer. It gives a luminous lit-from-within glow. I know this one goes in and out of stock a lot. Best part, it does not pull orange.

I almost forgot about this beauty! It is so silky and easy to blend. It looks beautiful on the cheeks. You also get a hint of blush on it that makes the PERFECT shade.

I could not leave out my Patrick Ta duos. You get the best in a powder and cream. Most of the shades are super pigmented but the lighter shades are more subtle. I own so many of these and I don't regret any.

Highlighter

Because I refuse to start over without a little light. These are the highlighters that make me look awake, alive, and mildly expensive — even if my bank account’s still recovering from replacing everything else.

This is a great luminizer/highlighter! There is no scent and it's a gorgeous shine without changing the pigment underneath. You can find the right shade for you.

It is so soft and light but the pigmentation is beautiful. A little goes a long way.

This highlighter was light and a little went a very long way. I loved that it did not texturize my skin. Application was smooth and it provided a gorgeous glow and look to my makeup routine.

Lippies

💋 LIPPIES I could survive without a lot of things, but not without lipstick. These are my confidence shades — the ones that make me feel human again in 10 seconds flat. ✨

This is hands down my favorite lipstick foruma. It says its matte but its the perfect blend between matte-and creamy. It feels lightweight and its the perfect amount of pigment.

I love how it feels on my lips, it’s matte but nor drying unlike other brands that I have that peels off, it stays long. Packaging is beautiful inside and out. I own several shades.
