Base makeup
Foundation, concealer, pressed powder and bronzers that photograph well and don't wash out under harsh ring lights.
Reliable, medium coverage foundation that doesn’t leave a white cast. Looks like a dream in 4k!
Foundation for the Face & Complexion - Makeup
Probably the most camera-friendly powder on the market. Incredibly finely milled and doesn’t look cakey.
SurrealSkin® Soft Blur Setting Powder
The only pot concealer that looks as good under the eyes as it does everywhere else! Full coverage but not aggressive, and it photographs beautifully!
Soft Matte Complete Concealer
Melts into your skin like butter without spreading too much around. The application is also the perfect size and shape for contouring.
PRECISION SCULPT SHAPING BALM - Contour Stick
Is it $105? Yes. Do you need to spend $105 on a bronzer? Hell not. Is this the best bronzing powder I’ve ever used in my entire life? Absolutely. This powder is soft but impactful, and it has a natural finish.
H Trio healthy glow mineral powder, Tottori | Hermès USA
Full coverage and absolutely bulletproof. I know it seems insane to say given all the hype around this product, but it exceeds expectations!
Complexion Enhancing Foundation and Powder
Blushes
Liquid, cream and powder blushes currently on repeat!
Nars powder blushes are reliable, and the ones that have a bit of sheen are always beautiful. Just be sure to not put those too center in the face. For my brown skin girlies, Taj Mahal was made specifically for darker skin tones. I'm wearing it in th...
Powder Blush
I really didn't want to like this haha, but this color - especially on deeper skin tones - is really stunning. It's almost like a blonzer with just enough red to make it pop. Blends beautifully, very pigmented and really pops on camera.
pocket blush - sun soak
All of them are great, but the cooler tones definitely can read a bit ashy if you're not careful.
Make Me Blush Powder - Makeup - Blush & Bronzer
These are *incredible* - they dry with a natural-to-satin finish, and they give the skin a very stunning, dewey glow. They don't break up the foundation underneath!
Make Me Blush Blurring Liquid Blush - Face Makeup
Eye products
They key for good eye makeup in work settings is making it visible, but keeping it professional. These work best for me.
I have very oily eyelids, and these eyeshadows DO NOT BUDGE. They're great on their own or as a base for powder shadows. Good pigment load but also makes colors on top really pop.
Master Mattes® Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow
Incredible pigment and looks very professional, polished and neutral on camera.
Master Mattes® Eyeshadow Palette: The Original
I have hooded eyes, slanted a bit downward and with very little lid real estate. So I need an eyeliner that is paper thin (yet still visible) and easy to apply both quickly and precisely. Pat's is excellent.
Perma Precision Liquid Eyeliner
