This is a great beginner primer that keeps your makeup STUCK with the right routine. I prefer this over the niacinamide primer.
Â
I never pass on this cotton pad pack of 3 for $6. They’re soo soft and great for toning or makeup removal. You’d be surprised how much they absorb.
Swisspers Premium Cotton Rounds, 300 Count
Â
Still really new to makeup but this concealer has genuinely been my best product choice. It also worked well with my skin routine. ✅
Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Concealer Caramel
Lips
Â
This is a basic lip pencil that has good pigment for a darker lip combo. There isn’t a sharpener included but with one it can last for a while.
NYX Slim Lip Pencil Long-Lasting Natural
Â
This is the best tinted gloss I use in my dark brown lip combo. Thankfully, it is not sticky unlike some glosses I’ve tried. Definitely a great product.
Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss | NYX Professional Makeup
Â
Now THIS has some great pigment for a lil combo. I love that the texture isn’t pencil like but way smoother. Try it out!
NYX Line Loud Lip Liner - Rebel Kind
Â
My first ever high quality gloss and it gets its props! I used this religiously for my lip combos and sometimes the tint was enough just by itself. (extra plus for the smell)
Gloss Bomb Heat Universal Lip Luminizer + Plumper — Hot Chocolit Heat
Â
There is something about this lip oil that has my lips feeling sooo smooth. Normally, I used it for a finishing touch to my ‘night out’ lip combo but recently it’s been an everyday use.
e.l.f. Glow Reviver Lip Oil, Hot As Fudge
Â
This is a good tinted balm if you want to add a pop of color to your lips. I use it to give a dark brown lip combo a hint of pink.
e.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm - Strawberry
Lashes
Â
The BEST long-lasting lash glue. You can definitely see the difference between this and poorly made options.
A+: Super Lash Glue
Â
GET IT! Do not think twice, just get it. Amazing false lash look and it it doesn’t give spider lashes. It’s also $4.99 so who could beat that.
Black Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara - Essence | Ulta Beauty
Â
I mostly grab my clusters from Amazon. This option D. gave my lashes the curly mink look i wanted sooo bad. If you want a fully, fluffy look, stacking them is definitely an option.
Natural Cluster Wispy Mink False Eyelashes
Â
These 10mm-18mm come in such a variety that you can try out whatever you’d like. It may seem crazy but I like using these for combining different cluster styles.
Pawotence Wispy Lash Clusters 10-18mm
Â
Whatever they put in this, I am completely SHOCKED at how long my lashes last. Don’t apply too much or your lashes may come out stringy looking.
