Makeup Must-Haves That Transformed My Beauty Routine
Finding your perfect match in any category of makeup is always a moment to celebrate. After all, with so many beauty products debuting each year, it can be challenging to block out all the noise and hone in on the ones that’ll work best for you. This...
Since I'm pretty basic with eyeshadow—all I do is dust whatever remaining bronzer lingers on my brush—my waterline or lashes is where I really like to experiment. Whenever I'm not rocking a blue eyeliner, you can find me in this blue mascara. I saw a...
I'm not impressed by most concealers these days, but this one from Haus Labs stopped me in my tracks. The hydrating, good-for-you formula—niacinamide and hyaluronic acid are the stars here—doesn't cling to dry patches and crack, especially after I ba...
After a few hours of wear, my skin looked incredible, almost like I was walking around with the "subtle" Instagram filter (you know the one!).
“Danessa Myricks’ Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in Universal has been life-changing to my makeup routine. I wear it underneath as a primer, and on days when my skin is oily, it’s perfect for spot correcting so you can still have a dewy look—just in...
Bobby Brown’s Neutralizer Pencil is now my go-to color corrector. Often, you get creases and cakey concealer because you have too much product under your eyes. This neutralizer pencil uses minimal product to correct imperfections, and any concealer c...
Gucci Westman, the makeup artist behind Westman Atelier, deals with rosacea, so she knows what it’s like to have sensitive skin. It’s no wonder this combination of complexion products leaves my redness-prone skin polished, spotless, and glowing, almo...
Before this balm came into my life, it took a lot of effort for me to get the barely there, ‘effortless’ blotted lip effect. I’d have to spend at least a couple of minutes applying thin layers of my lipstick, dabbing them with a tissue, and topping i...
This is my never-leave-the-house-without-it product; I’m constantly losing track of my glosses because I’m moving them from backpack to purse to tote bag. I wasn’t even a lip-gloss girl until Tower 28. Most formulas I came across were too sticky, too...
Rare Beauty stole my heart. One dot is all I need to create a soft flush on my cheeks, so that should tell you how pigmented this blush is. Selena Gomez, A+ in my book!!
As someone who can never say no to a vacation, Charlotte Tilbury's cream bronzer remains a constant in my rotation for those days when I want to mimic a post-OOO glow. Where many cream bronzers give a muddy finish, one swipe of this is all you need t...
I challenge you to find a One/Size product you don't like. I'll wait. Trust me, there's a One/Size product out there for everyone, and the pink setting powder is my obsession (and TikTok's). I love a bright under-eye, so I love reaching for this powd...
Not to sound like every celebrity ever, but I finally purchased the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, and I have to say: I get it. The formulation really does help transform your lips overnight, and it can work double duty as a balm during the day.
I've written the phrase 'I don't know how to use makeup' more times on this website than I care to count, but this blush doesn't care! It's nearly foolproof. It lasts forever. You can use your fingers. And it looks so damn pretty.
I love this smoothing primer. It totally minimizes the appearance of all my pores, and doesn’t feel heavy on my face. Plus, a little goes a longggg way. One tiny tube lasted me for almost an entire year.
Before Accutane, I never had good skin. But this Clinique compact was—and still is—the only product that effectively covers blemishes and breakouts for a natural-looking, matte finish. I almost always have it with me for touch-ups.
