INCREDIBLE. Long wearing. Buildable. A tad expensive, but insane coverage. 10/10.
Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation Makeup | 36-Hour Long-Wear Oil-Free Liquid Matte Foundation | Hydrating, Breathable, Buildable | New Formula

Love this makeup!! Really is long lasting, and covers very well. Dries kind of quickly though!
L'Oreal Paris Cosmetics Makeup Infallible Pro-Matte Liquid Longwear Foundation, Classic Ivory, 1 fl oz

This is one that I’ve hesitated about forever, but I LOVE IT. A top-tier drugstore brand, buildable and beautiful on the skin!! Highly recommend.

Concealer

This is my go-to concealer. A little bit goes a long way and it covers my skin so freaking well. I feel like if it weren’t expensive to do so I could use this as foundation. LOVE. 10/10.

Â
Love this drugstore concealer! Sort of erases any lines under my eyes and doesn’t seem to settle as easy as others.
