Face Washes & Double Cleansing

I usually keep several face washes in rotation, and at night I often double cleanse with two different formulas. I use one to remove makeup and sunscreen, then a gentler cleanser to finish. These are the face washes that work well in my realistic sen...

Mild Face Wash for Sensitive Skin. This is the one I use first to get most of the makeup off. I have very sensitive skin, and this doesn't irritate my skin at all.

Ultra Facial Cleanser - Kiehl's

Eminence is such a great line. Everything is so gentle on the skin. This face wash smells amazing. All you truly need is a pea-size dot. Once you mix it with water, it spreads well and cleanses the skin so well.

Stone Crop Gel Wash | Eminence Organic Skin Care

Face Serums for Sensitive Skin

I rotate several hydrating and firming face serums throughout the week depending on what my sensitive skin needs. These are the formulas I keep reaching for when I want extra moisture, smoother application, or a little more support for dry skin.

Trader Joe’s has some surprisingly good affordable skincare finds. I like this dewy serum when I want an extra layer of hydration without making my sensitive-skin routine feel complicated.

Dewy Skin Serum | Trader Joe's

My bottle of this is almost empty. It is a firming cream, and it smells amazing. This brand is so wonderful.

Bamboo Firming Fluid - Eminence Organic Skin Care

This is so gentle and extra hydrating. I mix this into my moisturizer and it helps it go on so smoothly.

WNP Hyaluronic Acid Serum 3% 30PCS Vials

Moisturizers, Eye Cream & Daily SPF

Moisturizer, eye cream, and daily SPF are the steps I try not to skip. These are the hydrating face products I use to keep sensitive skin comfortable, protect it during the day, and help makeup apply more smoothly.

First Aid Beauty is such a great brand for sensitive skin. My actual go to eye cream is the 5 in 1, but it is currently unavailable. This is a a great one too though!

Ultra Repair Hydrate + De-Puff Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid

This moisturizer is awesome for sensitive skin. It smells AMAZING. You can actually put a drop or two of water on a finger tip amount of cream and mix it in. It makes the moisturizer spread on so well, and not be too heavy.

Bakuchiol + Niacinamide Moisturizer - Eminence Organic Skin Care

This is such a great SPF moisturizer. I use it when I go to Disney because it gives me the perfect base for my makeup. It is not heavy at all, and there is zero white cast. It's so hard to find an SPF moisturizer that has no cast. So great for sensit...

AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 50 - CeraVe

This is the counterpart for the AM CeraVe moisturizer. Very lightweight, but hydrating enough to help moisturize your skin overnight.

PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion - CeraVe

This is another go to for Park Days. a wonderful base for the rest of your makeup. It has a slight tint to it, but you can barely see it.

Daily Defense Tinted SPF - Eminence Organic Skin Care

Eyeshadow Primers

Eyeshadow primer is a game changer for helping shadow apply evenly, stay in place, and resist settling into fine lines. These are the eye primers I have used and would reach for before both everyday and more colorful eye looks.

Eyeshadow primer is a must. Eyeshadow grabs onto the surface of the eyelid so well after applying the primer. You can get much more vibrant colors, and shadow stays all day.

Urban Decay Cosmetics Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion

This is by far my favorite eyeshadow primer. It is very hard to find though.

Benefit Stay Don't Stray Eye Primer Light/Med

Nars has a great eyeshadow primer. I have bought it when I can't find my other go-tos.

Favorite Eyeshadow Palettes

Eyeshadow is where I have fun. These are a few of my favorite palettes because the colors have good coverage, blend well, last, and do not immediately settle into fine lines. I included neutral taupes along with blue and colorful options.

I am obsessed with this palette. There are so many amazing neutral colors that still have a high impact. I usually use 3-5 colors on my lids. The shadows are very layerable without getting cakey. This shadow is very high quality for such an affordabl...

Stone Cold Fox | Cool Tone Eyeshadow Palette | ColourPop

Beautiful neutral palette. A great supplement to any other palette.

That's Taupe | Cool-Tone Neutral Palette | ColourPop

I like to have fun with my eyeshadow colors. This has such pretty blues, and nice shimmery ones too!

So Elemental | Cool Blue & Silver Palette | ColourPop

This is such a gorgeous light nude color. Super smooth and buttery, it fills in all the cracks and crevices and doesn’t settle into fine lines. This is often sold out, so grab it when you see it in stock.

Single Eyeshadows | Omega, Shroom & More - MAC Cosmetics

MAC offers a huge range of eyeshadow colors, so it is easy to choose one specific shade to fill a gap in a palette. I especially like having the option to add a single neutral, blue, or shimmer without buying another full set.

Eye Shadows | Eye Shadow Makeup | MAC Cosmetics – Official Site

Lorac eyeshadow is some of the best. The coverage is so great. You don’t have to apply layer after layer to see it.

Lorac Pro Palette - Amazon.com

Eyeliner & Mascara

I have tried more liquid liners and mascaras than I can count. These are the ones I buy again because they are easy to apply, wear well, and help finish both natural everyday eye makeup and more dramatic looks.

I use this and the brown version almost every day. I love the brush applicator. It’s tapered perfectly so you can get a really sharp thin line. It’s very buildable. For maturing skin, it doesn’t run into fine lines on the eyelids.

Brushstroke 24-Hour Liner - MAC Cosmetics

This and the black version are my go to liners every day. The application is so smooth and the perfect amount of liquid comes out. It doesn’t run into fine lines on aging eyelids.

Brushstroke 24-Hour Liner - MAC Cosmetics

When I’m going for a bolder look, i reach for this eyeliner. They have fun colors, stars out end goes in very smoothly.

24/7 Liquid Stick Retractable Eyeliner - Urban Decay

Setting Powder & Finishing Products

I prefer a matte, polished finish, and these are the powders and setting products I use to help makeup last. They reduce excess shine without making my sensitive skin feel unnecessarily heavy or complicated.

This is my tried and true setting powder. It has great staying power. It is light, so it doesn’t look cakey. Lasts all day!

All Nighter: Waterproof Setting Powder - Urban Decay

This setting spray is awesome. I sometimes use it before foundation and after powder and my makeup stays put. Quick tip: shake very well before spraying. This will give it more of a fine mist consistency and won’t drip.

All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay

Favorite Foundation

This is my all-time favorite foundation because it feels gentle on my sensitive skin and comes in a wide range of shades. I like that it gives me a polished base without making my everyday makeup routine feel overly fussy.

I’ve used this foundation for the last few years and it is so amazing. A little goes a long way. A makeup artist will color match you and they are usually spot on.

Highlight - Seint

This is the contour. You put this on strategic places around your face to give your face a beautiful definition.

Contour - Seint

Lip & Cheek Color

These lip and cheek colors are easy to blend, comfortable to wear, and useful when I want coordinated color without packing several separate products. I especially like shades that look softer and more wearable once applied.

This goes on so much lighter than what you see on the swatch. It is one of my favorite lip and cheek colors.

Lip + Cheek - Black Cherry | Seint

This nude lip and cheek color is soft, subtle, and easy to wear with everyday makeup. It blends out naturally and works well when I want a coordinated wash of color without anything too bright.

Lip + Cheek - Nude - Seint

Makeup Organizers & Travel Bags

A good makeup organizer makes it much easier to see what I own and keep my daily routine from becoming cluttered. These countertop organizers, brush holders, and travel bags help keep makeup, skincare, and small tools easy to find.

A good organizer is essential for keeping makeup visible and easy to use. This one helps separate daily products so eyeliner, brushes, palettes, and small skincare items do not disappear into a cluttered drawer.

Makeup Organizer - Amazon.com

I use a bag like this when I travel and it keeps everything organized.

HOTOR Hanging Toiletry Bag for Travel, Black

This is perfect for all of your makeup brushes, eyeliner, eye cream and other small bottles.
