items A good makeup collection needs to include affordable and splurge worthy products. I enjoyed doing no “make up” makeup as well as a full glam.

Lips
Let’s be real you can’t ever have too many lip products. But no one wants to wear sticky or drying lipsticks. I have tried so many different options and listed my favorite ones below.
I have been using this for over 10 years. Very light weight formula that’s also moisturizing.
REVLON Kiss Plumping Lip Creme, Almond Suede
I have this lipstick in Voyeur and High Gear. Very lightweight and moisturizing.
Afterglow Sensual Shine Hydrating Lipstick
One of my favorite lip glosses, I have about 5 of these.
Long Lasting Hydrating Lip Gloss Selection
This is a must if you want your lip stick to stay on all day. I didn’t think it would do much until I tried it and it became my staple.
Prep + Prime Lip
I love how this gives a beautiful color but feels like a lip balm. I use this almost every day but especially when I don’t want to wear a lot of makeup.
Black Honey Almost Lipstick - Clinique
I think this is the most versatile and flattering nude lip for light/fair complexion.
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Mini Lipstick & Lip Liner Set
Pink honey is a lighter version of black honey. It doesn’t feel greasy and gives you the perfect hint of color.
Pink Honey Almost Lipstick - Clinique
Blushes & Bronzers
I love the orgasm blush from NARS because it gives your cheeks such a nice subtle flush. It’s also very good for laying.
NARS Blush
I love that this bronzer gives you a deeper shade without looking dirty or orange.
Bahama Mama® Powder Bronzer
NARS is one of my favorite brands and I love using this bronzer. Like the blush, it comes in a mini size which makes it easier to try it before committing to the full size. Also the bronzer comes in many shades and looks very natural.
Laguna Bronzing Powder
Concealers & Foundations
Goes on very well. Formula very suitable for combination normal/dry skin.
Radiant Creamy Concealer
I love how many uses this product has. You can use it on its own or under your makeup.
Futuredew
I love to use this under eyes because the it provides good coverage.
Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer - Too Faced
I use this setting powder when doing a full face.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier
I use this spray when I need my makeup to stay on for a long time. It doesn’t feel heavy and gives a nice natural finish.
Urban Decay Setting Spray & Powder
Eyes
Very pigmented and goes on very well. I love the colors of this palette, it has very beautiful browns and pinks.
Naked3 Eyeshadow Palette - Pigmented Rose Neutrals
An eyelash curler is like a push up bra for your lashes. I curl my lashes before applying my mascare to give them a nice lift.
Eyelash Curlers
You can just swipe it on and blend it out for a quick and easy look.
Long-Wear Cream Eyeliner Stick
Mascara is one of the products that I like to save on. I love how it lengthens the lashes without any clumps.
Blackest Black Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Maybelline
Since using this I haven’t bought another brow pencil. I have fuller brows and only need subtle definition when doing my makeup. I love how the shade is universal which gives you a lot of control over the color. Additionally the tip has a more fine a...
Uni-Brow Universal Shade Eyebrow Pencil
I always use this primer if I need my makeup to stay on all day.
Eyeshadow Primer Potion Tube - Original - Urban Decay
Brushes
Quality brushes ensure flawless and even application. I also think it’s a worthwhile investment in your makeup collection since good brushes can serve you years.
MAC brushes are considered professional grade and are very durable. I love using these brushes and it’s the primary brand that I use. I still have brushes from 10/12 years ago. Before MAC used natural and synthetic bristles but now switched to synthe...
Makeup Brushes | MAC Cosmetics - Official Site
It Cosmetics makes great brushes that are cheaper than MAC brushes and distribute the product well.
It Cosmetics Brushes
This isn’t my favorite tool but still has its uses. I personally prefer to buy the off brand version as it’s cheaper and gives the same results.
