Skin Prep
This is the best primer on the market in my opinion! The built-in roller is such a fun application. Leaves your skin feeling glowy and hydrated!
Glow and Sculpt Face Primer 40ml | Hydrating Priming Serum
A great primer that’s lightweight and hydrating! Different options to work with various types of skin. Makes my skin feel dry so I don’t feel as intimidated layering many products!
Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Face Primer
If you don’t want a serum and want more of a moisturizer texture, this is an amazing product! Makes you look so glowy! You can use it as a pick me up throughout the day or a base layer for your makeup!
Saie Glowy Super Gel | All-Over Luminizer | Clean Highlighter
I love this duo! It’s a moisturizer and a serum. Gives your skin a glow without feeling oily! It has been my favorite thing I’ve discovered for skin prep
The Great Skin Duo
Concealer
the best concealer! It’s never creased on me, and a little goes a long way! You get great coverage with little product!
NARS Under Eye Concealer Makeup
This is a well-rounded product. You can use it as a concealer, a foundation, anything! Easy to apply and so blendable!
The Minimalist
another concealer option that works great! Definitely check your shade as this can look yellow depending on the shade you pick, but it has great coverage and is so buildable!
Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer
Foundation/Coverage
a foundation that is just the right amount of coverage! Doesn’t look cakey, and a great shade range!
Soft Matte Complete Foundation
I don’t like the feeling of a lot of product on my face, so I love using this! It’s a great substitute for foundation. Lovely coverage!
Hollywood Flawless Filter: Glow Booster
In the summer when you don’t feel like layering your face with many products, get a tinted moisturizer! This is lightweight and buildable! Not as much coverage as a foundation, but a great option when you want a more natural look!
I love this bronzer. Makes me feel like a bronze baby! If you want to skip the contour step which I admit, I usually do, just use this! It can do that job too!
Saie Sun Melt | Cream-Balm Bronzer | Clean Beauty
A liquid version so you can be more defined with your look! A little goes a long way so you don’t need much!
A powder bronzer! I started with this bronzer before I switched to creams and I loved it! And that pan is so pretty!
Ambient™ Lighting Bronzer
Eyes and Eyebrows
A great, natural looking mascara that is easy to apply! A Sephora worker told me this is the best one to use, and she’s convinced me!
b structural volumizing + lengthening mascara
An easy, beginner-friendly tool for eyebrows! A little goes a long way and mistakes are easy to fix! This has been a holy grail of mine for years!
Brow Wiz
I’ll be honest, I don’t use eyeshadow it intimidates me. I slap this on my eyelids and I love it! Gives me a shimmer and that extra fun for a makeup look without me having to be a pro!
Diamond Bomb All-Over Highlighter
Blush
These are the best blushes. You get both a cream and a powder, double the product to compliment the price!
Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
If you are a beginner, I would recommend a cream blush like this because it is easy to apply and you can blend it out with your finger!
Flush Balm Cream Blush
Contour
this contour stick is very easy to use and learn with! Dries down quickly so you’ll have to blend fast but I love using this!
Match Stix Contour Skinstick — Amber
This is both a contour and bronzer! Not as ashy compared to the fenty one!
SoftSculpt® Shaping Stick - Contour Stick
Lips
If I could only recommend one thing it’d be these lip liners. I’m obsessed with them! I wish I could own every color. They last forever and easy to use!
Lip Liner: Waterproof, Matte, Creamy Lip Pencils MAKE UP FOR EVER
This is my all time favorite lip gloss. It smells like bubblegum, doesn’t feel sticky, and is hydrating. What more could you want from a gloss? My go to shade is superficial with the limitless brown lip liner from makeup forever!
Major Volume Plumping Gloss
Lip stains are great to add to the collection! They require a bit more time, but they last longer than the traditional pencil! Depending on the shade this is all you need! No other lip product required the contour looks that good!
Lip Contour Stain Rich Brown
Setting Products
Your makeup won’t move with this! Smells great and lasts forever! It’s a pretty penny, but get the mini version! That lasts forever too with no need to spend extra!
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
Set your face with this powder to make it look less oily and last the day!!
HUDA BEAUTY Easy Bake Loose Baking Powder
Beauty Tools
This is very much a staple! Makes blending seamless, and spray some water/setting spray on it to help your makeup last longer and absorb less product!
Beauty Blender
This includes every brush you’d need! A great starter kit as it’s hard to know which brush is best with all the ones out there!
Makeup Brushes
Keep those lip liner pencils sharp!! You forget you need a tool like this! These pencils last forever so this is a must.
GLOSSIER Pencil Sharpener
Having to part ways with my eyelash extensions, I had to get used to my natural lashes and this tool has helped so much!
