Best lip liner I’ve bought! Lasts all day. I usually put on lipliner, go over my lips with a pressed powder and then apply one more layer. I never have to apply the liner more than once when going out.
Lifter Liner Creamy Moisturizing Lip Liner - Maybelline
This lip balm is so hydrating and comes in many colors. They all smell amazing and are not sticky.
Lip Butter Balm - Summer Fridays - Sephora
Bronzer stain! Great option for effortless and lightweight makeup! Super versatile as it can be used for cheek + lips! I’m a bit pale so I prefer using it as a lip liner instead of all over my lips.
e.l.f. Sheer For It Blush Tint, Maple Latte
Base Makeup
Hear me out! This bronzer stick has been a favorite since 2023! I had one new in 2023 and it lasted till 2025, using it everyday. It layers amazing, blends beautifully and has a great color. I’m personally a pale girly, and my favorite shade is Where...
wet n wild MegaGlo Makeup Stick, Buildable
I love this blush. It lasts all day long , doesn’t budge and super bendable. Good shade range for all skin tones + great amount for price. It leaves a great glow but doesn’t look oily.
pocket blush - piggy | rhode skin
Such a good staple if you have redness or acne. Doesn’t look cakey and you can layer product evenly while still getting perfect coverage. It’s def a bang for your buck!
NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer Pot | Sephora
Perf foundation for natural but flawless makeup. I always use it for special events to have an even base, but it’s just as good for everyday. Not super full coverage but not thin enough to see through. Layers well ! Personally it’s never broke me out...
L'Oreal True Match Foundation N3 Light Medium
Bought this in March 2023, it’s almost July 2026 and I have yet to hit pan on any of the colors. I have used this powder blush ever single day, not exaggerating, and it’s still my favorite. It lasts all night and layers perfectly on top of any other ...
e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette, 4 Shades, Light
Saie bronzer DUPE! I have both bronzer and I honestly think the elf is more worth it. They give a similar finish, both are easily blendable, but the elf is more worth it because of the price. I love the finish and feel like it looks glowy! I never ha...
e.l.f. Camo Liquid Bronzer & Contour
Kosas DUPE! Such an affordable blush that has the most perfect shimmer. The color lasts long and the shimmer gives the perfect glowy affect. It’s almost like a highlighter + blush, 2 in-1!
Milani Baked Blush - Dolce Pink, Cruelty Free
Skincare
Fav makeup remover! It melts off my mascara and makeup with no issue. Never broke me out either .
Versed Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm
Eye Makeup
Worth all your money. This is my favorite eyelash curler. It’s the only one I buy now and I’ve only repurchased it once (because I lost it the first time). It holds a curl all day long and really makes your eyes pop!
Shiseido Eyelash Curler - Sephora
Holds the best curl! In my opinion it’s the best mascara in the market. It lengthens and curls. Sometimes I don’t curl my lashes and I find myself not needing to because the mascara curls them on its own.
L'Oreal Paris Extensionist Lengthening Mascara
