Foundations that I love
Settings sprays I’d trust in the summer
This is great for days with or without makeup. It’s really refreshing and makeup stays put.
Makeup Setting Sprays | MAC Cosmetics – Official Site
My alternate to the hourglass setting powder.
Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder
Great setting powder but a little pricy. I alternate between this and the elf halo glow setting powder.
Veil™ Translucent Setting Powder | Talc-Free
Perfect for a lightweight primer in the summertime!
The POREfessional Face Primer
Great alternative to the MAC setting spray
The POREfessional: Super Setter - Long-lasting makeup setting spray
Kind of smells like hairspray, but my makeup does not budge with this. I recommend trying the smaller size first before splurging for the big one
On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
A collection of lip products I reach for instinctively… the kind that feel like they choose you. 👄🖤
The gummy bear is the best. It also lasts well overnight.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
Simple yet lasts well. I usually pair this with the summer Fridays lip
Glow Reviver Tinted Lip Oil
No notes. Lasts a long time and flavor is delicious but don’t eat it lol
Lip Butter Balm, Vanilla
Second only to their vanilla flavor. This is great alone or sometimes I layer it with tarte maracuja lip!
Lip Butter Balm, Pink Sugar
I honestly enjoy anything from the taste maracuja lip line. I usually pair this with a gloss. If I’m wearing it alone, I’ll use an invisible liner as well!
maracuja juicy lip plump
The best and also versatile lippie
Lip Gloss
Mascara that can handle my tears
Will not smudge even if you are crying 😢
tartelette™ tubing mascara
Blushes that never go out of style
Great for days where you are wearing a full face. Sits well over any foundation!
Blush Makeup: Liquid, Powder and Cream
A subtle blush that also doubles as an eyeshadow.
Long-Lasting Liquid & Powder Cheek Blush
Bronzers for the pale girlies
My favorite from drunk elephant. You can mix this with moisturizer or bronzer and it doesn’t bother my own sensitive skin.
D-Bronzi™ Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops
Foundations that I love
Foundations that 1. Will outlast your situationship 2. Guaranteed to make you look SMOOTH AF
A little on the pricier side but lasts 6 months of occasional wear. One of the best foundations I’ve ever used.
Dior Forever Skin Glow: Hydrating Face Foundation
My second favorite foundation. This is better when it’s colder outside (in my opinion) because it’s thicker than other foundations.
Amazonian clay 16-hour full coverage foundation
This came HIGHLY recommended from a friend. I can’t take any credit for this miracle!
The Minimalist
Lippies that I’ve tried over time
I tried the jellyfish of this one. It came in a lip combo set from Sephora. The smaller size doesn’t have a ton of product in it, but this goes on smooth and isn’t sticky.
