Prep

The key to a good prep is skincare!

I usually skip primer but when I apply this it definitely makes a difference for the longevity of my makeup! I like this better than her blurring balm
Yummy Skin Water Powder Serum

Foundation

Holy grail for a reason, keeps you matte for ages, also one of the few brands that carry an olive undertone for a light to medium skin tone
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation

The best drugstore option for oily skin I’ve used. I wouldn’t say you’re matte for 12 hours, but with touch ups it’s an affordable alternative!
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup

The girls are unfortunately right about this skin tint. The coverage is expected for a skin tint but the finish is beautiful! Doesn’t make me super oily but make sure to set with powder
KYLIE COSMETICS - 1N Skin Tint Blurring Elixir Foundation

Concealer

The best under eye concealer on the market! Not drying, doesn’t crease (Hourglass concealer was terrible for me) and good coverage despite being super lightweight!
Swipe Hydrating Serum Concealer

Not up for debate, the BEST drugstore concealer. Wish the applicator was… not that
Instant Age Rewind® Eraser Multi-Use Concealer

Blush/Contour

Soo worth the price, I like this cream better than Tower28. His formulation allows for you to apply cream AFTER powder blush!

I only use the contour side but it is super creamy and applies beautifully with a dense brush!

Lippies

Specifically the berry one I use as regular chapstick during the day. So nourishing and you don’t have to reapply often. My only gripe is I have to use my fingers to apply

Bury me in this lip liner shade
Rimmel Lasting Finish 8HR Soft Lip Liner

The shade Liyan reminds me of Cappuccino by Rimmel but more pink leaning

The shade On It, specifically. She glides well and stayed on for the most part
Lifter Liner Lip Liner Makeup with Hyaluronic Acid

Riri is never the wrong choice when it comes to a lip combo. This shade isn’t too pink or too brown
Gloss Bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick — Blaz'd Donut

My favorite lip gloss of all time. Plumping without the burning sensation. Lasts so long I hardly reapply and not too sticky! It also leaves a slight stain on your lips after a while
Forget The Filler Lip Plumping Line Smoothing Gloss

The only clear lipgloss you need. It literally is so blinding how glossy it is, she is very sticky though….

I don’t think you ever need to splurge on mascara or an eyebrow pencil. This is coming from an avid ABH dip brow user back in 2016 lol this pencil stays on long even with my oily t-zone
Micro Brow Dual-Ended Pencil & Spoolie

For the girls that like the laminated look, this is the only product you need. Like most eyebrow gels this does sort of peel but I find that doesn’t happen unless you use a LOT of product so use it sparingly

Powder

A classic, I’ve tried the hourglass powder and honestly this one gets the job done the same for cheaper

The cherry blossom powder is my favorite to set the under eye. It blends nicely into my blush color and no major flashback if blended correctly

I know I said I’m an oily girl, but with all the powder I use this is such a good find. I mainly use it to blend the powder into my skin so I don’t look too matte. It makes the skin look how it does when the oil starts to come through after an hour o...

If you’re oily prone you need to add this to your routine. For sure will keep you matte for at least 8 hours, no touch ups

NEWLY ADDED cannot stress the need for this setting spray. I can’t get behind the CT spray hype but this spray is life changing!! Keeps you super matte if used after the O/S powder melt and before the O/S on till dawn
