Whenever someone tells me they want to get into makeup, I end up sending a long list of recs - so here it is all in one place!!! These are my tried + true everyday essentials that I think anyone could start with 😊😊
The thickest (non sticky) ACTUALLY moisturizing lip balm!! So shiny too and perfect range of colours
Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment
as someone who used to apply concealer and foundation with fingers and MAYBE a sponge, this rlly showed me what I had been missing. Beginner friendly 10/10
Saie The Base Brush | Ultra-Soft Tapered Foundation Brush
Best eyelash curler ever. I used to think it wasn’t worth the splurge.. now I’m not actually sure my eyelashes were curled with whatever I was using before…
Eyelash Curlers & Pads
you know when your makeup just doesn’t go on right and it feels cakey or flakey or bad - this genuinely fixes it. It makes everything melt together beautifully and keeps it on and glowing and amazinggg
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
for tan skin specifically: the most natural and cute glow from within highlighter. I use this mainly as a highlighter and it just makes my skin look so naturally fresh!!
Saie Glowy Super Gel | All-Over Luminizer | Clean Highlighter
as someone who never leaves the house without at least a bit of brow gel I swear by this one. Every time a friend borrows it they end up buying it 😌😌
Brow Freeze Styling Wax - Anastasia Beverly Hills

MakeWaves® Mascara
a setting powder is non negotiable if you have oily skin (like me) or if u want ur makeup to stay on all day in the summertime!! Here’s my fave - tons of shades and so easy to apply with a brush/puff!! I’ve used this for years and it makes a HUGE dif...
Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier
so it might be pricy but this is literally the bronzer that finally convinced me to keep bronzer in my routine. SO easy to use (very forgiving) and in my opinion way easier to start with than contour!! keeps my makeup from looking ghostly and 1D
Yves Saint Laurent All Hours 24H Hyper Sunkissed Glow Bronzer
so I hesitate to flat out recommend just one foundation (because I feel like there are so many different ones for different needs/purposes - might do a whole separate list about it 🙈) BUT if I had to, it would deffffinitely be this one. Too easy to ...
Luminous Silk Perfect Glow Flawless Oil-Free Foundation - Armani Beauty
