items You’re about to see your ex at a mutual friend’s birthday, you think you might see the person you like at a gig, you need to post a good selfie to get a reaction from someone… we all have occasions where makeup needs to be subtle yet sexy. Not quite ...
Iconic for a reason, I have never found a blush like it! Matches any and all complexions, this is a must and I swear it lasts forever! I have only ever had one and I still haven’t hit pan!
Rosy Glow: the iconic Dior blush with pH-activated color | DIOR US
Even with the formulation change this is the GOAT and now it’s more moisturizing apparently! I use a touch more setting powder with it now but the finish is pristine as ever you just can’t go wrong and a decent shade range as well!
Luminous Silk Natural Glow Blurring Foundation
I put hours of research into finding the most subtle but sexy eye shimmer and this is IT! It attracts all of the right attention, and doesn’t immediately appear like you have eyeshadow on at all. Love and have it in every shade!
Diamond Bomb All-Over Highlighter
The only mascara I ever use - brown is best!
Liquid Lash™ Extensions Tubing Mascara
I like a product that does more than one thing and this does many, add some into your foundation for a glow, dot it on bare skin for a no makeup freshen up in the am, or use it more heavily as a true highlight to hit those angles!
Saie Glow Sculpt | Multi-Use Cream Highlighting Blush
This is contour for dummies (aka me)! The most blendable but still buildable contour stick I have tried, gives the right amount of cool brown for shadow but not so much that you risk looking like you have a facial hair shadow!
Match Stix Contour Skinstick — Amber
The hot pink color is a must for a flushed glossy look whereas the clear one is the most subtle with a great peppermint scent!
Shop All Lip Products
All you need is this blush for the ultimate subtle but sexy color! Paige Desorbo wears this blush in this shade, it’s sheer but buildable so you control the amount of color and works for so many skintones. It’s my go to and for that price I couldn’t ...
15 Nude Fit Me Blush - Maybelline
If I’m not wearing foundation (which I only do for in the office or if I’m going out at night) I’m wearing this! It provides great color that flexes to the shade of your skin, spf protection and is sheer enough that it is subtle and glowy!! Also a li...
Tinted Mineral Sunscreen
Subtle makeup still needs to be set to stay… this powder for under your eyes is everything you need. I pack it on and then buff it away with a big fluffy brush. If I’m going for subtle then that’s the only place I use it!
Huda Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder - Banana Bread
I get this in a shade that is 1 shade lighter than my skin tone and use a dot of it under my eyes for a subtle look! I use the powder in this list to set it because concealer will just always crease without something to set and then it’s obvious you ...
Instant Age Rewind® Eraser Multi-Use Concealer
I’ve used this since I was 16 and it has never let me down! For subtle but sexy, I use this on my lips only for a flush that lasts all day. Then sometimes I put lip balm on top.
Benetint rose-tinted lip & cheek stain
Buy this in brown and I apply to my tight line NOT my water line. It helps your lashes look thicker without making your eyes look obviously lined.
Long wear Slim Eye Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
For the ultimate subtle but sexy look it has to be this!! Unlike the OG, this melts your light layers all together and then sets all of the makeup to stay!
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
I overplucked my eyebrows when I was younger and although they grew back (thank god!) they have some slight sparse patches so I use this to do light flicks to mimic hairs. I also use it to lightly define the corner of my brow and the arch - but don’t...
Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
This is the subtle but sexy list so don’t be surprised by how sheer this bronzer is, that’s the point. I draw it on as my last step before I set and then very lightly I dab it with a makeup brush. Don’t move it around otherwise the product will move....
Bronze Balm
I’m hooked to this - any big event or occasion where I need to look good I use these drops to brighten the whites of my eyes. You automatically look more awake and healthier!
LUMIFY® Products from Bausch + Lomb
This is the GOAT of hair oil, super lightweight but the most effective for smoothing and taming!
ghost™ oil | shine + smooth frizz
White teeth are the key to subtle and sexy looks. And with the amount of coffee and red wine I drink… these are a must!
Lumineux® Whitening Strips (21 Pack)
The ultimate sun kissed lip! Looks like you have been in the sun all day, with that slightly bitten vibe!
Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Balm 3 Shades
