Eyes
The best gel liner in my opinion! It’s very smooth, doesn’t flake off, stays in place all day, and it doesn’t smudge. Highly recommend!
AMC Eyeliner Gel 77 Black, 0.19 oz.
A good eyeliner for the waterline. Stays put all day and goes on smooth without skidding. I recommend.
Maybelline Tattoo Studio Waterproof Long Wearing Pencil Eyeliner, Deep Onyx
A little pricey but so worth it if you have hooded eyes like me. It makes my eyeshadow not crease. Love it and highly recommend.
Photo Finish Intensify 24 Hour Shadow Primer
Love this eyeshadow pallet. It’s got a bunch of colors if you want to experiment. The shadows are pigmented and go on so well.
Juvia's Place - Culture Palette
This palette is really good for that dark smokey eye look. Beautiful pallet and the shadows are very pigmented and blend well.
The Coffee Shop Palette
I really like this pallet for a smokey eye look and this one is perfect for travel. It’s not to big and the colors are all you need for a ghoul look.
The Warrior II Palette
1
This is the best brow pomade for those on a budget. I’ve been using this one for years. I love it. It’s very pigmented and easy to work with.
Lock on Liner & Brow Cream - Espresso
The best eyebrow pomade shade range by far! It’s a splurge item for sure but it last a long time and it’s works so well. Goes on smooth and effortlessly. It’s a good product.
DIPBROW® Pomade
Best eyebrow pencil if you prefer it over pomade or gel. I like it a lot but it is on the pricier side. Last a longtime though.

One of my favorite lipsticks. I love a good dark lip that isn’t always full on black but still very dark.
PURGATORY
One of my favorite purple toned lipsticks. I love this with a purple smokey eye or a gray smokey eye look.
The Lip Bar Vegan Matte Liquid Lipstick - Drama Queen - 0.24 fl oz
My favorite clear lipgloss. It’s very hydrating and looks good on plane lips or over a matte lipstick.
NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss - My Main - 0.16 fl oz
Best black lipstick that stays on really good. It’s my favorite for going out or going to concerts. It does take some time to get off but I find soaking a wipe in micellar water and letting it set on the lips for about 60 seconds takes it right off.
NYX Professional Makeup Lip Lingerie XXL Smooth Matte Liquid Lipstick - 16hr Longwear - Naughty Noir - 0.13 fl oz
Love using this right before med and letting it soak all night. My lips are always super soft in the morning and ready for lipstick. Highly recommend especially in the winter.
e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Lip Mask - 0.15oz
Best product to prep your lips for a nice application of lipstick. I use this a few times a week especially if my lips are dry and peeling.
St. Ives Juicy Watermelon Lip Scrub - 0.5oz
Face
This one is a bit of a splurge but it works so well with the skin and has better skin matching than any other brand out there.
Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Longwear Liquid Foundation - 100
This foundation is good on a budget. I use it for my daily wear. It feels good on the skin and not heavy and doesn’t look cakey.
e.l.f. Cosmetics - 0.5 Fair Halo Glow Liquid Filter
This is my favorite concealers for the winter months when my skin is on the drier side. It works great. It’s not heavy or looks cakey and it’s very affordable. The shade range is great too.
e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer - Fair Rose - 0.203 fl oz
One of my favorite concealers. It’s not very thick or feels heavy. The shade range is great and it’s affordable.
NYX Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop Contour Concealer - 01 Pale - 0.11 fl oz
I wear this on days I know I will be out in the sun for long periods of time. I like that it’s not thick or heavy. It does still feel like sunscreen but not in a bad way. More so the texture is like sunscreen. I use it a lot in the summer.
Eucerin Age Defense Face Sunscreen Tinted Lotion - SPF 50 - 2.5 fl oz
Makeup Removal
Best micellar water for waterproof mascara. It’s good for eyeliner and other makeup removal as well. I like that it doesn’t dry my skin out.
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water Waterproof - Unscented - 23.7 fl oz
I like to use this in conjunction with my micellar water. Especially, for mascara and foundation. It melts it away nicely.
CeraVe Hydrating Makeup Cleansing Balm, Travel Size - Unscented - 1.3 oz
These are my favorite makeup remover wipes especially when I’m traveling. I have skin that’s on the sensitive side and these work perfect.
Aveeno Calm + Restore Nourishing Makeup Remover Face Wipes with Oat Extract - Fragrance Free - 25 ct
I prefer these over disposable wipes for my daily use but I do use wipes when I travel. These really do get the makeup of so well.
