These will help you prep your skin and get it ready for makeup! Some are skincare as well as just simply a primer
If you want your makeup to apply flawlessly, you should check out this one! It's my favorite for making the makeup super smooth and also hiding unwanted texture. It helps with oily production but really does the most at smoothing the pores. It also w...

From light weight to full beat, these are what I would look at for foundation options!
I love this for all day wear and a light weight foundation that gives you light to medium coverage! Perfect for oily skin girlies!

Wears beautifully and has a lovely soft finish.
Good for any skin type, but I love it for my combo skin!
Maybelline Super Stay 30HR Lumi Matte Foundation
The best long wear, matte finish foundation at the drugstore. If you need the makeup to last all day, try this one. Perfect if you are more oily!

I wore this at my wedding in 98 degree heat with 100% humidity! And the stuff is really and truly the longest lasting foundation out there. Actually worth the price tag. 10/10 classic for a reason

Like the blush, this bronzer is smooth to apply and wears beautifully! Not only that, it smells delicious honestly!
Buttermelt Bronzer: Long Wear Powder - NYX
This is the most beautiful highlighter I've ever tried. It's so fine so it's not chunky at all but it's BLINDING if you want it to be! Seriously stunning. 10/10 no notes
Sephora
Setting Powders & Sprays
My holy grail products for keeping the make up set all day
The best setting spray for long lasting makeup that I've tried. I really enjoy the new watermelon one especially but the OG is tried and true for me. I'll always rebuy!
Sephora
You will hate this if you are dry, but woah if you're oily.... you might actually need this. This is literally hair spray for your face. It's a bit tight which I personally don't mind but just know if you already have tight skin... avoid this! It wor...

A wonderful setting spray with the most perfect sprayer and it leaves a beautifully hydrated finish after
