Skin Prep
The best lightweight moisturizer! This calms my breakouts and makes my skin soo bright and bouncy! This product has helped my dry skin but especially the corners of my nose. They get so flaky but this stuff seems to instantly hydrate them.
As much as I loved the O.G. version, my skin hated it. I’m so happy this version exists because I get the same effect, but my skin benefits off of it! I see more of a dewy finish with this underneath my makeup. This stuff is very sticky which might b...
Niacinamide Power Grip Primer | E.l.f.
Base
This is personally my favorite foundation look. It gives medium coverage and a dewy finish that glows. This has never broke me out and it doubles as a sunscreen!! I notice that my makeup doesn’t crease near as much as it does with other foundations. ...
CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation SPF 40
I use this a lot when I go for a “no makeup” day. It has a more sheer, but still glowy look on my skin. This also doubles as sunscreen and skincare!! The coverage is very light, but still leaves a slight shine.
Universal Tinted Moisturizer SPF 46
Bronzer
This bronzer absolutely lived up to the hype. It blends perfectly into my skin and really gives me my color back. There are amazing not-too-orange shades! These have a very thin but pigmented formula, and also feel very hydrating!!
Saie Dew Bronze | Effortless Liquid Bronzer
I own the shade “BeachGlow” and it is gorgeous! It has the perfect almost reddish tint to it that really looks like it comes from the sun. It gives off the definition of sun-kissed. I love the stick form so that I can reapply almost whenever, however...
On-the-Glow Bronze - Tinted Moisture Stick
In my opinion you can use this as either contour or bronzer. It is very affordable and has never broke me out! I love the cushion applicator, it makes placement and application so easy. The pigmentation is very strong but still blends out nice with a...
Halo Glow Liquid Contour Wand
Blush
This blush is sooo creamy and goes on so smooth!! The pigmentation is awesome and gives off a good glow! The consistency is like a creamy putty, similar to E.l.f.’s Putty Blush!
Cheek Kiss Cream Blush | Milani
I love this just as much as I love the contour wand! The slightly shimmery colors on these are so pretty and I love the applicator. This stuff really makes a makeup look dewy/glowy and gives good color.
Halo Glow Liquid Blush Wand
Highlighter
This highlighter is so pretty and the stick makes such an easy application. It is not the most blendable with fingers only but blends beautifully with a brush. The slightly shimmery colors are perfect.
Lumi Le Glass Glow Highlighter Stick - L'Oréal Paris
I admit the pretty bottle drew me to buy this but it is sooo much more than the pretty bottle. It has the prettiest shimmer and it so blendable and the shimmer is very pigmented. I love all the different tones available.
This stuff is perfect to fill in the lighter part of my inner brow. I love having full brows whether I have a full face of makeup or no makeup. This stuff is seriously perfect to shape and fill at the same time. I adore the precise little brush!!
Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
This stuff has a perfect medium to strong hold. I can really shape my brows however I want while still having a natural look. It stays so well and is so easy to work with!!
Brow Lift - Clear Eyebrow Gel
Eyes
My personal preference for a mascara is full of volume but not too clumpy and thick. I also look for a defining length effect. This stuff checks off all of the above, and I believe it is a tubing mascara! I actually started noticing my eyelashes star...
Everylash Serum Infused Mascara 6ml
I use this in the shade “Mad Max Brown” and it is perfect for a brownish black shade. It really does stay so well! I use this to mimic under eye lashes because I look terrible with undereye mascara.
Tattoo Liner Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
I use this as a base to make a canvas to do my eyeshadow looks on. It makes a huge difference in how the true colors pop and last longer! I also like to use this as a highlighter sometimes!
Touch Base For Eyes
This is so underrated. Although lash serums with prostaglandins do work a lot faster they severely damage your eyes and their appearance. This serum is one of the only ones without prostaglandins that has given me actual results. Be consistent and yo...
Eyelash Growth Serum | Lash Therapy Australia
I’m not a big lash girl but whenever I feel like I need a little bolder eye look, (dances, parties) I think clusters give me what I need. I don’t like a look that’s too harsh, though. These clusters don’t give that obvious “fake lash” look but more o...
imPRESS Falsies Long Lasting Self Adhesive Eyelashes – Demi Natural
Lips
This stuff is magic. The videos are not a lie! It feels silky and buttery and just like a lip balm. However, it is seriously matte! It is so blurry and I love pairing it with a darker lip liner to make a matte lip look.
Smushy Soft Matte Tinted Lip Balm | NYX Professional Makeup
I have the shade peach glaze, and it smells bomb. I love the squishy donut applicator! The consistency of this is the perfect mix between a gloss and a serum. This is also skincare infused!
Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum Visibly Plump & High Shine
I have the shade “fine line” and it is such a pretty shade. I’m not sure why it almost just looks brown online but it is a gorgeous reddish pink slightly darker than my lip shade. It looks great with clear gloss!!
Lifter Liner Lip Liner Makeup with Hyaluronic Acid
Set
I use this both before and after my makeup. It gives a perfect not-too-dewy, natural finish and survives my sweat! I have not tried this yet with swimming, but it has always worked through a whole normal day! It also makes my makeup last through danc...
Make It Last Original - Natural Finish Setting Spray
Extras
Somehow I never see anyone using Laura Geller but this is one of their acne safe products and it is so handy! The bronzer, blush, and highlighters are amazing colors. They all pair together so nicely. I haven’t really used the eyeshadows but I’m sure...
The Best of the Best Baked Face Palette
I was always very scared to try an eyelash curler because I was TERRIFIED of it ripping my lashes out. But guess what, I’ve went through 2 of these in 3 years and all my lashes are still here! I also would say my lashes stay curled for a very long ti...
