items Finding good makeup that works with your skin can be a challenge. All of these products work well for me and I have a combination skin type (oily T-zone and normal everywhere else). They are all reasonably priced too! Side note: always do a small tes...

Bronzer and blush
Apply blush and bronzer is probably my favorite step because it’s where I start to see the look come together! It adds color back to my face!
This is a nice powder blush! I use the shade “melba” and it’s a pretty nude peach color. It’s also lasts a while for me.
Mocha Powder Blush - MAC
This is the powder bronzer I’ve used forever! It gives a nice warmth to the skin and it also smells like chocolate ;)
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer
Primer
Whenever I use primer, my makeup always lasts longer and looks better!
I like using this primer before putting on foundation because it makes my makeup last longer! It is also very sticky!
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Concealer
I always use concealer to help cover up any blemishes I have!
This concealer is great! It doesn't feel heavy or cakey under my eyes.
elf Cosmetics 16HR Camo Concealer
Another really good concealer! It doesn't feel heavy under my eyes and has good coverage.
Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer - Milani
Foundation
Trying to find a foundation that is a perfect shade match is difficult! But these are great and I was able to find a great shade match.
This is a great drugstore foundation! I would say it’s medium-full coverage (depending on how much you use) and it doesn’t make my skin oily.
L'Oréal - True Match Super-Blendable Foundation
This is a great foundation if you are looking for one that is full coverage! I used to wear this when I did dance and it was definitely long lasting.
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation - Estée Lauder
Really good for applying foundation! The bristles are dense and it doesn’t leave my foundation looking streaky.
UD Pro Optical Blurring Brush - Makeup Brush
These are the blending sponges I use for foundation to work it into the skin and make it look more natural. I love that it comes in a pack of two!
Blending Sponge Duo - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Powder
All of my oily skin people know that powder is a nonnegotiable in the makeup routine!
My favorite powder! I use this every time I do my makeup and it never disappoints. I have oily skin and this helps keep my skin from getting oily.
Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder - Maybelline
Great brush for powder! It’s fluffy and soft and makes applying powder easy and quick!
Ultra Plush Powder Face & Cheek Makeup Brush - Real Techniques
Eyeshadow
I love how many options there are for eyeshadow! You can do so many different looks and try out so many different colors!
This palette has a lot of great warm neutrals! The eyeshadows feel nice and last on the eyes for a while!
Connect In Colour Eyeshadow Palette Unfiltered Nudes - MAC
This is one of the brushes I use for eyeshadow. I use this for spreading the product in the crease of eyes. It’s soft and works well!
Sigma Beauty E40 Tapered Blending Brush
Eyebrows
My eyebrows love to move around throughout the day and since I’ve started using eyebrow gel, they stay locked in place!
This eyebrow gel keeps my eyebrows in place all day long! It’s also easy to remove with makeup remover so you don’t have to worry about losing any eyebrow hairs when removing it.
NYX Professional Makeup - Control Freak Clear Eyebrow Gel
Setting spray
Setting spray is a must for me! We don’t want our makeup going anywhere!
This setting spray definitely works! My makeup lasts a long time when I use this and this will definitely be a repurchase.
Urban Decay Cosmetics - All Nighter Ultra Matte Setting Spray
Lips
I very picky about my lip products because I hate when my lips feel dry!
I really like this lip oil! I have several different colors and I love them all. They aren't drying and last pretty long.
elf Cosmetics Glow Reviver Lip Oil
I think this lip gloss is so underrated! I have a few different colors and my personal favorite is “moon.” The hyaluronic acid makes it hydrating which is nice in a lip product.
Lifter Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid - Maybelline
I got this lip liner as a free gift from ulta and it’s great! It lasts a long time for me and I like the color selection. I will definitely purchase this when I’m done with the one I have.
Line Loud Longwear Lip Liner - NYX Professional Makeup
I got a free sample of this from ulta and it is so flattering! I now know why everyone raves about this product! Once I’m finished with the free sample, this will be an immediate purchase.
Black Honey Almost Lipstick - Clinique
Mascara
I always do mascara last because I feel like it ties the whole look together :)
This really is my favorite mascara I’ve ever tried. It’s a tubing mascara so it’s easy to remove at the end of the day. You literally only need water (so it’s not waterproof). It’s pricier than what I usually pay for mascara ($26) but it’s totally wo...
Liquid Lash™ Extensions Tubing Mascara
I LOVE this mascara! I love the shape of the brush and it makes my eyelashes look really nice. It separates my eyelashes and doesn't make them look clumpy.
Highly Rated Anti-Gravity Mascara - Milani
This mascara is SO GOOD! I love the way the wand is shaped and it makes my eyelashes look so long!
Falsies Lash Lift Washable Mascara - Maybelline
Sometimes mascara can make my eyes water when I haven’t worn it in a while and this doesn’t do that! I was looking for a good “clean” drugstore mascara and I decided to try this. It makes my eyelashes look full and long!
Covergirl Lash Blast Cleantopia Mascara
