Lips
I feel like a good look always has a good lip base, even if it’s just a nice chapstick.
I love this lip balm! It works so well for days where I just want to feel a little dressed up, but not glam.
LIP BALM
It’s not the sexiest item, but Aquaphor has saved my lips again and again, season after season. My lip products lay so much better on my lips because of this.

This is a new addition, too— I’ve been using it under my Nyx Smushy to add some lasting power as a stain. It combines so well!

Face
I have acne-prone skin and an oily base, so a good foundation and primer is essential to creating a smooth canvas to work on. The extras just help highlight my cheek bones.
I have been using this for a few months now, and it’s been so nice to have a foundation-like product that lets my skin breathe in the summer time. It’s nice to even out your skin tone without removing the texture of your natural skin.
Buttermelt Glaze Soft Glow Skin Tint SPF 30
The Halo Glow series from elf has been amazing for me. The blush makes me look so rosy like I’ve been frolicking around in a flower field… it reminds me of Sabrina Carpenter’s blush looks 👀
Blush Makeup: Liquid, Powder and Cream
Just like the elf Halo Glow blush, I use the highlighter wand to make me look dewy and bright! My color is Rose Quartz, but all of these look AMAZING.
Halo Glow Liquid Highlighter Wand
It’s not expensive!! This contour stick allows for me to really carve out my cheekbones and my temples with no problems. I’ve also used it in a pinch as a cream eyeshadow if I didn’t have a shadow around (which is rare, but does happen).
MegaGlo Dual-Ended Contour Stick-Light/Medium
I use Blue Lizard under my makeup/on its own and it’s so nice! I appreciate the environmental impact of using a mineral sunscreen, and bonus points that I have the little travel stick so it just stays in my bag wherever I go.
Blue Lizard Sheer Face Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion
In my carry around makeup bag, I keep this as my setting spray because it’s accessible and it works really well to keep my makeup in place.
The Vegan Face Glue Setting Spray | NYX Professional Makeup
I use this and the setting spray in my carry around makeup bag because it’s a perfect combo. Everything sticks well to my face and everything stays on my face— it’s everything I need!
Face Glue Gripping Makeup Primer
I am definitely late to the trend, but this bronzer is truly a game changer! I usually would go in with just a cream bronzer, but this bronzer truly makes it so much easier to get a fuller look to blend out.

Eyes
Growing up in the 2010s, eye-focused looks were EVERYTHING. I may not make them as dramatic anymore, but I do pride myself on a good cat eye and a blended eyeshadow.
As someone who cries a lot (iykyk), I live off of a mascara that doesn't flake.
Lash Sensational Sky High® Waterproof Mascara Makeup
I’ve used these lipsticks for YEARS and they have not failed me. They are matte lipsticks, so be prepared to apply a chapstick underneath so you don’t get crusty… but they DO stay on with no problems.
Super Stay Matte Ink® Liquid Lipstick
My everyday eyeliner is one that I can put on and just go with minimal touch up needed. I’ve used Maybelline for several years now and it doesn’t do me wrong.
Eyeliners - Liquid, Gel & Pencil Liners
IYKYK. I got a sample of this from Ulta back in 2016 that still works like a charm. If I want a real POP of sparkle, I use this on the inner corner of my eyes or as a highlighter.

One of the best investments I made was getting a big Morphe palette for my eyeshadow needs! I shuffle between two palettes and never have to struggle finding the right color… and the pigment is immaculate ✨

I use the micro eyeliner and I have to say, it held up beautifully for a wedding I was at recently. The color didn’t even fade!
