Base Recs!
Best concealer. I consider it full coverage. I also use this as my foundation sometimes!
Hy-Glam Concealer | Brightening & Hydrating
I’ve been using this foundation for over a decade and it’s still one of my top picks. I always have this on hand for a glowy medium coverage base
Luminous Silk Perfect Natural Glow Foundation
I use this as my foundation when I’m outside a lot. Beautiful glowy coverage and spf 30
SunnyDays SPF 30 Tinted Sunscreen | Back In Stock At Tower 28 Beauty
Lips
I have a few favorite lip liners, but this is my favorite for day time. Perfect color without looking overdone!
Ultra Suede® Sculpting Lip Pencil
This is my favorite lip liners for night looks. The formula is super silky and slips right onto the lips with a bit of a shine. Doesn’t dry the lips out like other formulas
Signature Lip Liner
I love to wear this as a gloss over the liner. Color I wear is macaron! Perfect pink and pretty affordable. One swipe goes a long way
PhD Hybrid Lip Glaze Plumping Gloss
Blush
Buildable and glowy blush. My favorite is pomelo!
color fuse glassy blush balm stick
Perfect pink shade and buildable color. I will be rebuying the full size version as I bought the mini to test it out. The mini is perfect for travel! Patel is my favorite but I’m planning on trying some new shades too
Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Petal
This is my favorite powder blush. I lean more cream these days, but sometimes you need some powder. My favorite shade is paaaarty
amazonian clay 12-hour blush
The best travel palette. Has bronzer blush and highlighter in one and the shades work for so many skin tones. Amazing colors
HOURGLASS Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked - Dragon
Beautiful cream blush! I love the color rose n brunch. Super easy to blend and big color payoff
Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed
I just got the mini set from Sephora that includes 3 colorways and I’m in LOVE. my favorite shade is dolce vita
The Multiple
Bronzers
High impact bronzer. Not orangey which is super important!
03, Poudre De Beauté Éclat Soleil Powder in shade 03
Easiest contour/bronzer. I’ve gone through so many of these
SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer
The less expensive, more subtle sister to the Gucci bronzer. I honestly use this more, especially day to day. I layer with the Gucci for a more impactful nighttime look.
Bobbi brown bronzer
I loveee this for a deeper cream bronzer. I use the make up by Mario for a lighter look. This lasts forever. I’m still on my first stick!
LYS Beauty No Limits Cream Bronzer and Contour Stick
Primers
Okay I know this is expensive. But it’s so worth it. It truly blurs the face and creates the perfect canvas for make up. Also the gold speckles in there aren’t noticeable! The bottle lasts a long time because one pump is all you need
Touche Éclat Blur Primer – Illuminating Radiance
If I don’t want to use my more expensive YSL primer, this is my go to. Leaves a velvety finish and my make up wears beautifully over it.
ICONIC London Underglow Blurring Primer - Skincare-Makeup Hybrid
Setting spray/powders
I use different setting sprays for different occasions and this is the best for a glowy finish that lasts! If I need to tone it down I set specific areas like under eyes and my t-zone with a powder setting powder to finish the look off
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
I bought this in the mini and large sizes! I love that I can reapply my SPF throughout the day without ruining my makeup and is the same amazing one size formula as my original setting spray. I keep my mini with me at all times, especially when trave...
On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Sunscreen Makeup Setting Spray SPF 28 Full-Siz
Brushes
I use this for concealer, contour, cream blush - everything. I love it.
Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush
Don’t forget Sephora when looking for make up brushes. They make some of the best I’ve found. I actually love getting one of their sets for travel that come in a case. I use a fluffy one for my powder bronzer
Bronzer Brushes
Eyes
My favorite mascara. I have been asked on multiple occasions if I have false eyelashes on, and I always say no and it’s this mascara! Really lengths and defines the lashes without making them clumpy (the worst !)
BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara
The easiest eyeshadow ever to apply. Just dab a bit a blend! So many colors to choose from too. My favorites are cashew and the rose gold.
Eye Tint Long-Lasting Liquid Eyeshadow
The best for brows. I love how there’s also a brush on the other end. Always brush before applying the color to the brows! I use dark brown
