Not a huge foundation person myself so take that into consideration
This product is an oldie but stand the test. It’s more lightweight but can be somewhat buildable and it just melts into the skin
Stretch Concealer for Dewy Buildable Coverage - Glossier | Sephora
One of my ride or die products. It blends and builds so easily and is literally skincare but makeup too so
Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 Foundation - ILIA | Sephora
Makes my mouth water among other things… anyways this formula is my favorite of all time and ranges from lightweight to medium coverage

Blush
I know blush is technically fave makeup but how could I not make it its own category
So pigmented, so buildable, so effortless, so blendable, the words could keep coming…

Yes people I know infamous rhode herself, but I must admit I do like this one and it blends like butter

I never understood the hype of lip liner until I tried this specific brand. Mario knows what’s up if you will

You know her and love or hate, but for me it will always be love. Specifically waterproof cuz my lashes are straighter than me!

What a throwback! But not really because she’s still relevant and you would know that if you understood her worth!
