As a future makeup artist (and a theatre kid) I've been around makeup for years, and here are what I've found are the best

Base
Your main everyday items that go on your face
Keeps my makeup on all day and is REALLY sticky, but doesnt keep your face sticky once you put makeup on top of it.
Elf Power Grip Primer
Even if your shade is a bit off, blends in to perfectly match your skin, and doesnt separate as long as applied correctly. Stays on my oily skin even on hot summer days
C2 True Match Foundation
A little goes a long way, so it lasts forever, and it blends it smoothly. This also has shades that can be used as a cool toned contour, or warmer tones for bronzer
Camo Liquid Bronzer & Contour - e.l.f.
Looks bright in the picture, but in real life looks natural while still adding dimension and color to your makeup. Blends out smoothly, is NEVER patchy, and stays on all day
Infallible Blush - L'Oréal
SO underrated, brightens my undereyes, and covers dark circles, as well as staying on all day
Wonder Snatch Concealer - NYX
Blurs and finishes my skin, takes away shine COMPLETELY, and never needs to be touched up throughout the day
Honey Mini Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier
Eyes
Makeup for your eyelashes, eyelids, and eyebrows
So cheap but the only curler I've tried that fully curls my eyelashes AND makes the curl stay, even with my thin straight lashes
High On Lash Eyelash Curler - Wet n Wild
Keeps the curl in my eyelashes ALL day, all while adding volume and length
Lash Sensational Mascara - Maybelline
A fun, colorful, and pigmented eyeshadow pallete that can be used for any fun looks.
