A Healthcare Girly's Makeup Guide
24
items Alright I'll be honest. Most days I do my morning skincare, put my scrubs on, put some lip balm on and I'm out the door. And as someone who works in healthcare, the last thing I need is to be shedding or sweating off makeup in the middle of seeing pa...

Primers
Girl, you know if I don't have a primer on that makeup is gonna go EVERYWHERE
My everyday face primer. Love that it doesn't irritate my skin. Also holds my makeup on the entire day even after sweating. Lightweight, easy to use and quite hydrating. Perfect base for makeup
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gripping Primer
LOVE that it's so affordable. I think this is great entry primer to use - does what it says, power grips the makeup making it long wearing
e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip Primer - Walmart.ca
Another fantastic primer I use. Love the option for a bit of a tint in the primer, I find that helps my foundation even out more because of the tinted base. Gives you the best glowy look, without doing much.
Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Illuminating Serum
Foundations
Is it mask? Nah, it's just a REALLY good foundation
I ADORE this. It does half the work for me when i'm already rushing out the door. blends into my skin and doesn't feel tacky when i'm working. I'd say out of all my foundations this is the one that looks the most like skin. doesn't come off after a t...
Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation with Niacinamide - HUDA BEAUTY
Love, love, love, love this! Also AMAZING on the body - I have a patch of discoloured skin on my arm that you can't even see once I apply this. Very buildable too - with one product I can do a no makeup-makeup kind of look and also a really done up a...

Eyes are the window to the soul 👀
MY HOLY GRAIL MASCARA. Waterproof with minimal clumping, and stays on after a busy day. Never had an issue with this mascara, formula is light that it doesn't bother me. Best thing about this is that it can last me through my shift and doesn't run or...
Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara - Too Faced
The best eyeliner ever. Quite pigmented, also love that it comes in a bunch of shades. I gave oily lids and this stays on my eyes all day with no fuss even without primer or setting products. I like the grip, for me personally it helps me keep my han...
Urban Decay 24/7 Inks Easy Ergonomic Liquid Eyeliner Pen
When you need just a little bit of glam in the day. I love this natrual finish, it still gives my lashes volume and length but keeps it toned down for days I just want to be semi-natural. Even though it's not waterproof I find it stays for quite a fe...
Too Faced Naturally Better Than Sex Lengthening and Volumizing Mascara
Everyone needs a good eyelash curler. This is lightweight, comfortable to hold, and has a secure padding so it doesn't snip your lashes (believe me, it's happened)
Eyelash Curlers
I was a lover of Urban Decay's Ultimate Basics eyeshadow palette when I was younger, and this sort of emulates that vibe. Has all your cool tone nudes that are the best for everyday, basic, no-makeup-makeup kind of look.
Naked2 Basics Eyeshadow Palette - Urban Decay
full transparancy - i only use this when I go out. But oh my does it do wonders. SUPER pigmented and long lasting. Once it dries it has a good smudge resistance. I will say there is a small learning curve of using an eyeliner brush vs a pen. BUT a li...
Anastasia Beverly Hills Black Longwear Waterproof Crème Color
Another UD eyeshadow palette - this gives me more of those pinkish and shimmery colours to work with. Long lasting, great pigmints, also easy to build when needed
Naked3 Eyeshadow Palette - Urban Decay
Blush, Bronzers, Highlighters
Ngl…I've used the same pallet for the last 3 years because I love it LMAO
This is like everything I need for my cheeks in one palette so that's incredibly convenient. Blushes are pigmented and also buildable if needed. The highlighter is my favourite part - a little goes a long way! Not too much of a bronzer girl in genera...

Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil: shiny lip oil with a gloss effect
One of my favourite lip blams. Glides easily over the lips and moisturizes them well. Also lowkey the flavours taste pretty good LOL. My favourite is the Vanilla Beige but for a pop of colour I love using Cherry. Pretty decent layering too - I love t...
Lip Butter Balm - Summer Fridays
My current hyperfixation lip product - for me it sits comfortably between a lipstick and a balm where it colours my lips and moisturizes them. Also LOVE the slight plumping effect, fuller and moisturized lips.
Dior Addict Lip Glow - Hydrating Lip Balm, Reacts to pH
The good ol' reliable that everyone and their mothers use! LOVE Vaseline to moisturize lips, but also to lock in moisture on the skin. You and I both know that your makeup routine is not complete without some sort of petroleum jelly
