Prime Time🧴
A few primers and blurring balms that prep your skin just right hydrating, smoothing, and ready for what comes next.
This primer looks beautiful on the skin and under foundation. It blurs your pores while creating a glow to the skin. It doesnt make your skin look glittery. I love this primer as it is also hydrating.
ICONIC London Underglow Blurring Primer - Skincare-Makeup Hybrid
I love this serum. You have to shake it well before use, but it leaves your skin with the prettiest glow and doesnt feel too oily. It looks beautiful under foundation and is very hydrating. I like to use this in the summer time for a glowy, hydrated,...
Merit Great Skin Serum
Love this hydrating primer for my dry skin. It feels great when applied and makes your skin feel plump but firm. I like to use this primer through the winter on my driest days. Its very light weight and gives a little bit of a smoothing effect.
Merit Great Skin Moisturizer
This is a newer product for me and I love it! I use the translucent shade “Universal” and I like it! I love that there are a ton of different shades! It is very blurring, I love to use it for my more glam make-up looks.

Easy liners to define your eyes and mascaras that hold a curl even for long lashes and bonus tools for an instant lifted look.
I havent tried many eyeliners, but I do have this one and it works great. I have the brown shade and it is the perfect brown, very creamy and has a matte finish.
Huda Beauty Creamy Kohl Longwear Eye Pencil
I have really long lashes, so the only way my lashes will stay curled is if I use a waterproof mascara. This is a great waterproof mascara that provides great volume. It is known to be a dupe for the Two Faced masara, but honestly it is better than t...
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara ...
Best lashes if you are into cluster lashes! I found these through Courtney Cahoon on Tiktok a few years ago and have had a subscription ever since. I love a cat eye lash. My favorite style is Minx. It is just the perfect cat eye look. These lashes co...

I have the Make Up by Mario Nude Ethereal Holiday Eyeshadow palette that was limited addition. Make Up by Mario's shadows are great and I would buy any of his palettes, they are all staples and can provide full looks all in one.

Tools that work with your products not against them. Easy-to-clean brushes and squeezable sponges for flawless application.
My favorite sponge! I use the Haus of Labs foundations which is pretty watery and this sponge doesnt soak up too much of the product! It applies the foundation smoothly as well, unlike a brush that leaves streeks, so I stick to sponges and this is th...
Morphe x Ariel Make-up Sponge
This brush set is actually how I discovered this sponge! I love this brush set, the only thing is after a while, the color can start to peel off, but otherwise its a great brush set. I have purchased this set twice and made sure to get it towards the...
Morphe X Ariel Signature Look 12-Piece Face & Eye Brush Set
Every one loves the Shiseido lash curler, but it is so expensive and isnt all that to me. This is my favorite eye lash curler that gives the perfect curl. It is more worth the price than the Shiseido Curler personally.
Tweezerman Eyelash Curler
The perfect brush set for travel. The morphe brushes are great! They're very soft and gentle to the face upon application. Love that it comes with a travel pouch.
Along for the Glide 6-Piece Travel Brush Set
This is a great powder puff for travel as it also comes with a case keep it clean in your bag along with the rest of your products! Goes great with the brush set too!

Foundation & Concealer 🎨
My go-to complexion products hydrating foundations and concealers that match my skin tone, cover well, and stay put.
The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation is the only foundation I’ve ever found that matches my skin perfectly — I use shade 145 when I’m lighter and 190 when I’m tan. It’s super hydrating, which makes it perfect for my dry skin, and the finish is...
Haus of Labs triclone™ skin tech medium coverage foundation
Every concelaer I have tried has cause my under eyes to crease. Especially the popular Hourglass concealer. This concealer is great though, it is hydrating and gives great coverage. A little goes a long way like the foundation, love the shade range a...
Haus of Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer
This product is great for covering blemishes or dark spots underneath your foundation. It is full coverage and when it dries down a bit, it is easy to layer foundation on top of it without it moving around or lifting. because I only use it for blemis...
Merit The Minimalist Stick
Blush & Bronzer 🩷🤎
Natural, glowing color serum blushes and cream bronzers that blend seamlessly and brighten up your face.
My favorite thing about this blush is it is full of skincare! This is the perfect blush for those no make-up, make-up days! It is a serum like blush that provides the prettiest glow and tint of color. It is a little sheer but is buildable! All while ...
Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush
I have this cream blush in Strawberry Sunset and I love it! It blends so easily and never looks patchy. I am waiting for the sephora sale to purchase other shades!
Make Up by Mario Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil
This is the blush I used before I purchased the Make Up by Mario blush and it is great. No complaints, it blends well and a little bit goes a long way! It is a very pigmented but a pretty formula!

I layer this blush overtop my cream blush just to add a little extra color! It looks very pretty on the skin! I have shades Winter Kissed and Summer Sorbet.
KYLIE COSMETICS - Cheeky Mood Hybrid Blush
This is a great contour stick, it blends well. It is cheaper than most brands at Sephora. I think its a good basic start, but I am sure there are more just as good or maybe better. This one is a great start!
Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick
I am basic and still use the Hoola Benenfit Bronzer. It works great and isnt patchy. Its a great basic and I will continue to use it!
Benefit Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face
Powders ✨
Powders that lock makeup in place non-cakey, affordable, and crease-free, even in delicate areas like under your eyes.
I love this powder. A lot of the popular powders like One Size, Laura Mercier, Huda Beauty, all cause my under eyes to crease, but this powder doesnt and it is way cheaper than all of those options. They have a jumbo which I love and usually purchase...
Morphe Bake & Set Soft Focus Setting Powder - Translucent Rich
Now this is my absolute favorite setting powder. When this company shut down, I was so upset and the best alternative I could find was the Morphe Setting powder which is also good, but I just like this one better. I am so excited that they have re-op...
Beauty Bakerie Flour Setting Powder
This powder is truly blurring! It is great to use for finishing touches at the end of your make up when you need a little extra blur. It is also great for touch ups.
IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Setting Powder
Brows 🤨
Simple tools to shape and hold my brows pencils with shades that match, plus a clear gel that keeps them looking crisp.
I have black eyebrows, and not many brands have a black shade for brows. I found the perfect brow pencil from Kosas that has a black shade, and a very thin tip. I have full brows and dark brows so I dont necessarily need much for my brows, but I find...
Kosas Brow Pop Nano
Its hard to find a clear brow gel that doesnt flake. This brow gel is great. Because my eyebrows are black, flaking is very obvious, but this brow gel does a good job at staying clear and locking the brows in place.
MAC Pro Locked Brow Gel
This is another great brow option that I have found that does not flake! It really holds your brows in place!

Lips & Liners 💋
Lipsticks and treatments that hydrate without irritation, plus liners in natural shades to finish the look.
There is only ONE lip product that works for me and it is the Buxom Lip Cream. I have tried every lip product that you can think of from masks, to lip gloss, lip sticks, liquid lips, lip oils, lip treatments, and nothing works but my Buxom Lip Cream....
Buxom Full-On™ Plumping Lip Cream Gloss
This is a new discovery, but so far so good. It is the only other product besides the Buxom Lip Cream that doesnt seem to chap my lips. It is very glossy and leaves a glass like shine which I love! I like to layer it on top of my Buxom Lip Cream for ...
Buxom Power Full Plumping Peptide Lip Treatment
I dont often use lip liners, but when I do, I only use a few. This is one of them in the shade Wherever Walnut! It is a pretty waqrm, rose nude. I always try to find a color close to a natural lip shade!
Make up Forever Lip Liner: Waterproof, Matte, Creamy Lip Pencils MAKE UP FOR EVER
This is another great lip liner that has a shadethat is close to a natural lip. I use the shade Infinite! I also love that it has a sharpener on the opposite end!
