Prep
After my regular skincare routine, I add these two primers to my skin. Some days I just stop here, it just depends on my mood and what I'm doing that day.
Apply before primer. This is the best mineral sunscreen I have used. It does not leave a white tint and makeup applies so nicely on top of it.
Mineral Sunscreen Zinc Oxide Broad Spectrum SPF 30
This is a great primer for those of us that have larger pores or acne scars. This primer helps fill in my scars for a smoother appearance.
The POREfessional Face Primer
This primer helps my makeup stay on all day long!
Photo Finish Foundation Primer | Smashbox
Base
These are my current favorite base makeup items. They're quick and easy
I'm obsessed with the ILIA skin tints. They're so easy to apply, I just apply with my fingers and smooth out with my Beauty Blender. It has SPF which I love.

This is my tried-and-true concealer. It's powerful stuff so I only apply a little but at the corner of my undereye and either tap in with my finer or Beauty Blender. It is so great for all day wear and making me look bright and awake.

I have been using this setting powder for YEARS. I love it. I gently brush on a light amount over my skin tint and concealer to lock in my base makeup.

Eyes and Brows
If I make it this far in my makeup routine it is a good day! I keep it pretty simple.
I don't always add liner but when I do I love the Tattoo Liner! I have hooded eyelids so I do “puppy eyes” instead of “cat eye” and this works so well for it!
Tattoo Liner Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner
I love the dual sided brow pencils with a brush on one end and the pencil on the other. This makes it so easy to get a super quick, polished brow look!
Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil | Benefit Cosmetics
This is another great brow gel that I use when I'm in a hurry and just need to tame my brows.
Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel | Benefit Cosmetics!
This has been my favorite mascara for years and years.

When I need a waterproof mascara this is my go-to!

I love the Amazonian Clay blushes. I think the colors are so beautiful and they last on my skin all day long.
Amazonian clay 12-hour blush
This is a really nice and natural bronzer that just gives a little extra color to my face. It also smells amazing.

When a little extra hold is needed, this is my go-to setting spray. Setting spray is definietly not necessary with the products I have in this list, but this is great if you need your makeup to last an extra long time or if you'll be sweating (like d...
