Every day one and done eye color. Rides the perfect line between warm and cool.
Groundwork Pro Longwear Paint Pot Cream Eyeshadow - MAC | Ulta Beauty
Â
This is the best product for smudged, smokey liner. It stays creamy long enough to blend but sets and can be mixed with other paint pots for a custom color.
It's Fabstract Pro Longwear Paint Pot Cream Eyeshadow - MAC | Ulta Beauty
Â
The waterproof version of Lash Princess is the BEST for holding a curl. It’s lengthening and volumizing and under $5.
Black Lash Princess False Lash Effect Waterproof Mascara - Essence | Ulta Beauty
Â
It’s impossible to make a bad looking eye look with this palette. It’s cool toned but not grey and ultra flattering.
That's Taupe Pressed Powder Palette - ColourPop | Ulta Beauty
Â
I’ve been through countless tubes of Strapless. It’s a neutral taupey shimmer with a touch of pink that makes it ultra flattering alone or layered with MAC Groundwork.
Strapless Caviar Stick Eyeshadow - Laura Mercier | Ulta Beauty
Â
This is the rusty brown liner of my dreams. I love it alone or mixed with M90, a deep brown.
MOB Beauty Cake Liner M101
Â
This deep eggplant purple looks neutral but amplifies any eye color and works harmoniously with my skintone.
MOB Beauty Cake Liner M140
Â
Iced Mocha is that girl. It works all over the lid alone, it works alongside other eyeshadows, and it looks amazing as a subtle shimmery liner.
Iced Mocha Jumbo Eye Pencil All-In-One Eyeshadow Eyeliner Pencil - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
Â
These tones just scream “made for olives”!
Pacific Northwest Intense Color & Chrome Palette
Â
This is a daily must have! The perfect coolish-neutral crease and eye shaping colors.
ColourPop 9-Pan Eyeshadow Makeup Palette - Deja Brew - 0.3oz
Complexion
Â
Despite the name, this formula works for all skin types when prepped properly. The greenish-grey undertone is more obvious in person, and the formula is thin but buildable.
Revlon Colorstay Makeup for Combination/Oily with SPF 15 - 150 Buff - 1 fl oz
Â
This color is the only corrector I’ve ever found that works for olive undertones! It’s neither pink nor orange and a little goes a long way.
e.l.f. Putty Color-Correcting Eye Brightener - Light/Medium - 0.14oz
Â
This has been repurchased multiple times because it’s such a good match. 21 is best for me in the fall-winter when I’m palest!
MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++(#21 Light Beige) - 1.7 fl. oz.
Â
23 is always in my bag in the summer and to mix with shade 21. If you lean more light-medium, 23 will be your best bet!
MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++(#23 Natural Beige) - 1.7 fl. oz.
Â
This concealer packs a pigment punch, and Light works well with the elf color corrector to bring life to my undereyes. This wears well under a skin tint too in areas where I need a little more coverage.
Light Bare With Me Hydrating Face & Body Concealer Serum - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
Blush, Bronzer, Highlighter
Â
I’ve hit pan on this- it’s that good. It’s the most natural looking flush without turning orange. It’s also hard to go overboard with this!
Sweet As Honey Flushed Powder Blush - ULTA Beauty Collection | Ulta Beauty
Â
This powder in Light is the best bronzer/contour combo I’ve found. It’s buildable but almost undetectable if applied lightly.
Re—sculpt Smoothing Contour Powder
Â
Buying this palette for just the contour is a little ridiculous, but I’ve done it multiple times and emailed the company about making the contour alone. It’s THAT good!
Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer Contour Palette - Assorted Browns - 0.48oz
Â
This looks white in the pan, but on fair skin it is a stunning neutral champagne that doesn’t lean too warm or too cool.
MOB Beauty Highlighter M50
Â
Latte is a brownish pinky beige that looks natural and wears well even on oily skin! This is easy to apply, a little goes a long way, portable, and silky.
Latte Cream Stick Blush with Brush Applicator - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Ulta Beauty
Â
I’ve used up multiple pans of Mood Exposure, which says a lot! It’s the perfect soft mauve color with a touch of natural glow and impossible to overdo.
Mood Exposure Ambient Lighting Blush - HOURGLASS | Ulta Beauty
Lips
Â
This stuff is pricy but the formula and color are top notch. Tender Beige is an ultra flattering brownish nude that doesn’t turn orange!
69 Tender Beige LE ROUGE DUO ULTRA TENUE Ultrawear Liquid Lip Colour - CHANEL | Ulta Beauty
Â
Very Victoria is Pillow Talk for the olive honeys. If PT turns orange, VV is toned down just a notch!
Very Victoria Matte Revolution Lipstick - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
