My go to brand for affordable makeup! It all just works so well and will last the entire day!
Super refreshing on the skin and makes makeup flawless! Use to have very cakey looking makeup until I started using this primer. Tip: make sure it is completely dry before putting makeup on
e.l.f. Power Grip Gel Hydrating Primer 0.811oz
Lifesaver for under eyes! Never realized how dried out under my eyes looked and how caked they were when I smiled. Before you could see all the fine lines but with this it hydrates and brightens so well
e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer Light Sand
I was skeptical because of the price but wow does this make the skin look beautiful! Plus still cheaper than most high end brands that do not provide the best coverage!
e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint Light Coverage Foundation - Mineral SPF 50 - 12 Tan Cool - 1 fl oz
For $5 dollars I have a pile of these! You will find this in my car, purse, or anywhere I go!
e.l.f. Squeeze Me Lip Balm - Strawberry - 0.21oz
This one is so light and refreshing! Super affordable and holds makeup well!
e.l.f. Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray - 2.7 fl oz
Super affordable sunscreen to add into your skincare routine!
e.l.f. Mini Suntouchable Whoa Glow Sunscreen & Primer - SPF 30 - 0.34 fl oz
I like that you can pick a little tint with this one! Is pricier but still reasonable!
e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Whoa Glow Sunscreen & Primer - Sunlight - SPF 30 - 1.69 fl oz

Milani
Only have a few products that I have tried and ended up loving!
If you have large pores that show through your makeup this is better than any expensive product I've used. I specifically only use in my T-Zone where I have large pores from oil production. Once I apply makeup my skin looks flawless.
Milani Conceal + Perfect Blur Out Primer
Just bought this and wow did it make my makeup last without it caking! Super lightweight and refreshing!
Milani Make It Last Original Natural Finish Setting Spray - 2.03oz
I got a few recommendations lately so had to give this a try and for the price I love the finish look it creates!

Another recent recommendation I love!

Maybelline
I do it for the foundation! It is that good for being so affordable! The mascara went viral so had to have and I love it now too!
OBSESSED! Literally only foundation I currently use! I love a full coverage look and this is so light on the skin, blends effortlessly and last all day even through sweat with no caking!
Maybelline Super Stay 24HR Skin Tint 112
Get this mascara now! My lashes have never looked better and they feel so light! This does not clump!
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Lengthening Mascara - Washable Blackest Black - 0.24 fl oz
NYX
Just recently tried these two products out and I think they are both super flattering!
Super pigmented and love the color! I use on top of my liquid blush at the end of my routine
NYX Buttermelt Powder Blush, Vegan, 12HR
This skin tint really perfects the skin. It is super light weight
NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Blur Tint Soft Matte Foundation - 04 Light Neutral - 1.01 fl oz

The smell of this is just amazing! I feel like I'm on a tropical vacation!
From the smell to the amazing application this is the only bronzer I use!
