Works well for me year round even though I am about 2-3 foundation shades darker during the summer!

I’ve used this for around 8+ years and it has never failed me or anyone I’ve put on it. It blurs and yet looks so natural on all skin textures and blends right into my skin tone (I wear medium/deep). I have had photos professionally taken and this cr...

This concealer works amazingly for me. For starters the color selection is fantastic so there’s a shade for everyone plus room to play around and use one as a liquid contour or highlight. The formula is awesome. It’s so creamy and glides on easily.
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

This is one of my biggest must haves! It’s super lightweight and feels like you’re wearing absolutely nothing. The pigmentation is super natural looking and can be built up as much as you want. I prefer this over powder blush because I can keep it in...

I was NOT a stick bronzer girly until I tried this. Just like the Blush Stix, the pigment here is so natural looking yet buildable. There are plenty of shades to choose from and super easy for on the go.

My favorite liquid eyeliner of all time. Goes on so easy I can do it evenly on both eyes. The brush is the perfect size for crisp wings

The fact that I hyped this up to my mother despite the name should tell you everything you need to know. This mascara is the bomb. Well worth the money and isn’t cakey like so many others.

I’ve gotten so many compliments on my brows over the years using this. I’ve been a loyal customer since around 2018 and have gotten better results than I have with some higher end products. Super easy to use and my favorite part is the affordability....

These super shock shadows are absolutely incredible. For a super pigmented look, apply it with your finger. For a more airbrushed look, use your favorite brush. The color range on these is CRAZY. The one pictured is Cheap Date and it’s my favorite.

These are by far the best brushes I’ve used. They’re super easy to clean and hold their shape well. My favorite part is the roll it comes it. It keeps everything so well organized and great for travel. Every brush you need is in here they’re also veg...
