items Products I genuinely use and repurchase, not trend-driven, just results. A mix of luxury and affordable beauty that has earned a permanent place in my routine and provides results worth your money.
Picked this up before it sells out and I completely understand the hype. A beautiful light pink shade with the signature subtle sparkle, while still feeling comfortable and hydrating on the lips, something that’s rare for glossier formulas. Works per...
Fenty Beauty Gloss bomb (Wattabrat)
This is one of those products you constantly hear about but aren’t sure is actually worth the hype. I get it, it’s everywhere. But this is one of the few viral lip products that genuinely lives up to the attention. Hydrating, comfortable to wear, and...
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
A game changer if you wear glasses. I used to constantly get makeup smudging around my nose until I started using this setting spray. It locks makeup in place, controls oil throughout the day, and helps prevent those annoying glasses marks. Perfect i...
On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray
A great affordable alternative to the One/Size On ’Til Dawn setting spray. I find it keeps makeup in place well throughout the day, though I need a bit more powder around my nose for it to be fully transfer-resistant. If you don’t wear glasses and wa...
Setting Spray Infallible: 3-Second Setting Mist - L'Oréal Paris
I’ve used this consistently since the soapy brow trend started. Extremely affordable for the hold it provides. My makeup can wear down throughout the day and my brows still stay in place. Keeps oils under control and gives that lifted, laminated brow...
NYX The Brow Glue 01
One of the first makeup products I invested in when learning how to do my makeup and I still use it years later. The pigment is unmatched, but what really stands out is how easy it is to control despite how concentrated it is. I’ve tried great drugst...

My go-to base when I want a subtle skin like, lit from within glow without wearing heavy foundation. It’s lightweight, easy to blend, and gives a polished look in natural light. It’s perfect for workdays or a soft glam. It works beautifully under pre...
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Highlighter
One of the best gripping primers I’ve used it genuinely helps foundation stay in place for hours without feeling heavy. It gives that slightly tacky base that locks makeup in, which I especially notice on my longer studio days. Pricey, but performs c...
Buy Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer
This is a strong budget alternative to Milk’s Hydro Grip. It’s just as tacky and helps foundation adhere well throughout the day. It is slightly less refined in texture, but performs impressively for the price. Great option if you want grip without t...
Power Grip Primer
An oldie but a goodie in my routine. This is one of those foundations that consistently performs without needing hype.The coverage, is comfortable on the skin, and easy to work with. A great everyday option if you want something that doesn’t feel hea...
Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation
This was originally recommended to me on Benable, and I’m glad I trusted it. It’s the only high-end foundation I’ve tried so far, and the finish immediately felt more refined and smooth compared to my usual drugstore options.
Huda Beauty Easy Blur Natural Airbrush Foundation
One of the very few setting sprays I’ve repurchased twice. I feel it sets and blends my makeup well when I use it between steps. The refreshing spray also feels a lot more hydrating than the other setting sprays on my list. Pricey, but one of those p...
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
This was a lot more affordable than I expected. It’s one of those highlighters that gives glow without looking glittery. The pink tone adds brightness while still blending seamlessly into my skin, so it feels elevated rather than dramatic. I’ve been ...
Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter — Wattabrat
This product lives up to the blurring powder expectations. Specifically the shade “Cherry blossom cake”, I love that it’s buildable face and adds a subtle warmth. It’s comfortable and doesn’t cake up which just adds to that girly natural finish.
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Pressed Powder
I have the shade 83 spice berry and it is such a bold colour. Amazing to use as an eyeshadow as well for my darker more bronzed makeup looks. I love love love it for when I want my makeup to look different
