Brows
This is the best product that I’ve found to give a nice tint to the brows without having to spend time filling them in. It doesn’t flake through out the day and gives just enough color for those no-makeup makeup days.
Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
This brow pencil is great for detailed touch-ups in the brows. I usually use this after I fill in my brows with powder or the brow shader.
Brow Wiz
This is my first step in doing brows when I’m doing a full-beat. This brow definer effortlessly defines the brows and deposits color in a way that’s not too jarring.
Brow Definer
Eyes
This mascara voluminous, lengths while separating each lash and best of all does not smudge through out the day.
Badi Lash Mascara
These are the most buttery and easy to blend eyeshadow palettes on the market. I’ve tried almost every prestige brand out there and nothing works as effortlessly and beautifully as the Patrick Ta palettes.
Professional Eyeshadow Palettes
This mascara does a great job at adding volume. Does not smudge or flake.
Mascara
The best eyeliner for the waterline and for tight lining. Doesn’t smudge and is black blackkkk.
This mascara want is very thin and great for adding mascara to the top of the lashes without getting product on the lids.
MakeWaves® Mascara
This is a great eyeshadow primer. Helps with blendability, color payoff and helps the shadow to not crease and last longer.
Pro Longwear Paint Pot – Cream Eye Shadow
Lips
When I tell you once you try these lipliners nothing else will ever compare I mean it. These last for such a long time and don’t smudge and bleed like a lot of other liners out there. I even line my entire lips in these sometimes. The only thing that...
Lip Liner: Waterproof, Matte, Creamy Lip Pencils MAKE UP FOR EVER
These are the OG best lip liners. I’ve repurchased my favorite colors multiple times. My favorites are spice, cork, strip down, stone, and beet.
This formula of liquid lipstick is unmatched. So many other formulas make my lips dry and cracked. These last all day and paired with a lip liner can make the most beautiful and interesting lip combos.
Liquid Matte Lipsticks
MAC lipstick will always be an elite formula as far as I’m concerned. Not many brands can compare to the large range of colors and textures MAC offers.
Lipstick Makeup
My all time favorite lip balm! Provides moisture and just the right amount of color. Slightly plumping but not in an uncomfortable way.
Squirt Plumping Gloss Stick
Fussy is my favorite color in this lip gloss. I love everything about this from the component to the applicator.
Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
Base
One of the best foundations I’ve tried in a long time. Visibility blurs all texture on the skin and lasts all day long. I have combination acne prone skin.
Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation with Niacinamide
This concealer really is crease proof. I’ve had such issues with creasing with other products but this one doesn’t budge once you set it with powder.
My favorite powder foundation. I sometimes use it with concealer or to set lighter coverage foundations. A light dusting goes a long way.
MAC Studio Fix Powder
Cheeks
I love this blush so much. I have it in hibiscus haze and it blends effortlessly by itself or over cream blush.
color fuse blush powder
As a former MAC MUA I’ve always loved MAC blushes. They last all day on the skin and blend effortlessly. I love the color Sincere and Melba. Springsheen used to be my go-to shade as well.
Powder Blushes + Bronzers
Deep Throat is my favorite shade. I've had it for YEARS and I still haven't hit pan. Still looks so good on. I get compliments every time I use it.
Powder Blush - Orgasm
These are my favorite cream blushes. They don't disrupt your makeup underneath and instead blend perfectly.
