The Bulletproof Beauty Edit
15
items If I’m going for a truly bulletproof makeup look, this is my full lineup. These are the products I use every time I want my makeup to last all day and night— no fading, no melting, no touch-ups. I’m sharing everything I rely on, from primer to settin...
1 - At a minimum, my very first makeup step, and my very last makeup step. And a few spritzes inbetween for extra longevity.
3.3 oz Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
2 - Use this pore-filling primer in the areas where your pores are prominent. Mine are in my tzone, especially on my nose and directly next to my nose.
0.5 oz Timeless Smoothing Face Makeup Primer - Tarte | Ulta Beauty
3 - The most bulletproof foundation on the market. This has been my tried and true for years and it never disappoints. I use the shade ‘3W1’ in the summer.
3W1 Tawny Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation - Estée Lauder | Ulta Beauty
4 - This Estee Lauder Duo will have you lasting all day to night. I use the concealer in the shade ‘2W’. It layers beautifully with the double wear foundation. and hello, COVERAGE!
2W Double Wear Stay-in-Place 24-Hour Concealer - Estée Lauder | Ulta Beauty
5 - I contour before bronzing to give a natural ‘shadow’. This is in the shade ‘shadow’. What I love about ABH contour stick is that the shades are actually cool enough for it to be used as contour and the blendability is perfect. Remember to not dra...
Shadow Smooth Blur Cream Contour Stick - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Ulta Beauty
6 - My all time favorite Cream bronzer. This product is great for beginners as it's extremely forgiving and highly blendable. Put on the areas such as upper forehead to blend into hairline, and on the tops of cheeks where the sun would naturally hit....
SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer® - MAKEUP BY MARIO | Sephora
7 - My favorite muted blush. As a soft-glam girl, I prefer natural-looking blushes that aren't poppy-pink. The shade ‘Barely Blushing’ is the perfect example of this. Like the bronzer, the Mario blush is just as beginner friendly and forgiving becaus...
Soft Pop Plumping Cream Blush Veil - MAKEUP BY MARIO | Sephora
8 - Before we move on to powder products, lightly dust your under eyes with a pressed powder - either with a powder brush or a powder puff. I like the CT one in the shade ‘light’. Pressed powders are less drying than loose powders, which is especiall...
1 Fair Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
9 - Top with your favorite bronzer and blush powders. This ‘locks in’ the cream bronzer and blush from before. Unfortunately, the palette that I use has been discontinued (Smashbox The Cali Contour), so I am linking something similar. You can also us...
Hot Escape Cheek and Face Palette - NARS
10 - This is the same setting spray as step 1. I love to douse my face with this before using a loose translucent setting powder in the next step. What I love about this setting spray is it won't make your face feel tight like you have a layer of hai...
1.15 oz Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
11 - My ride-or-die setting powder. As a combo/oily girl this sets my makeup so beautifully and it keeps my oils at bay all day. I will not be without this product somewhere in my makeup bag. Once the setting spray has dried down, I use a powder brus...
Translucent Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier | Ulta Beauty
12 - The BEST blurring loose powder on the market, in my opinion. If I need my makeup to be extremely bulletproof and poreless, this is what I finish off with as my last step. I use this on areas where I have large pores, nose, around the nose, foreh...
Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder - HUDA BEAUTY
13 - Honorary step. You could jump in a pool and come out with your base still completely perfect with this setting spray. I do not use this all the time, only the times where I feel like I will be somewhere extremely humid or know I will be sweating...
On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray - ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr | Sephora
14 - Another honorary mention. I know some of us can't get away with absolutely zero touchups. This is what I carry in my purse if I think I'm needing one that day. Makeup Forever makes some of the best, finely milled powders. I use it in the shade ‘...
Mini HD Skin Blurring & Perfecting Pressed Powder
Fantastic to have in your purse for touch ups! This new item from Sephora has a sponge that attaches to each blotting sheet to make it even easier, and even comes with a compact mirror!
