I love trying new makeup and I get so excited to find products that work really well for me! These are all products that I use daily that I always get asked about. I prefer more full coverage and glam makeup daily, but these products can be used for weddings, graduations, and special occasions. Every product listed is being worn in my picture listed.

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Hydrating Makeup Primer with Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide
Foundation primers need to be used with specific foundations. For example, if you use a water based primer, you need to use a water based foundation. If you use a silicone based primer, you need to use a silicone foundation. I have dry skin and use water based foundations, so Milk Makeup primer is my favorite. There are many drugstore “dupes” out there so don’t feel compelled to run to Sephora and grab it, but if you can snag it on sale, I would! Plus, it lasts forever.
Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation with Fermented Arnica
This foundation is honestly great for both people who have dry and oily skin. I really like the full coverage and the longwear on this foundation. It looks really good if you have any redness or blemishes that you need to cover.
Hourglass Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer
This concealer is expensive but it is so good! It’s creamy and full coverage and feels so hydrating under my eyes.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Contour and Sculpt Cream Bronzer
I’m naturally very pale so it’s hard for me to find a good contour that doesn’t run to warm. I use the shade Amber and I really like how easy it is to blend without making me look to orange.
Hourglass Ambient® Lighting Bronzer
I love bronzer so much but this one is shimmery and it’s so beautiful for spring and summer! I will say it’s not super pigmented but I really think it blends well with my other products and doesn’t look chalky or cakey.
Tarte Shape Tape Glow Blush Bar
I’m actually not a huge blush girl. I love blush but I like more of a subtle hint of color on my cheeks. This blush trio is great because it gives you a pretty glow from within look and comes with a highlighter too!
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
I bake my under eyes, set my forehead and my chin with this powder and I love it sooooo much. I’m not really oily and I could probably go without it but I love how it makes my skin look. Also, I use the Cherry Blossom color and it makes my eyes look more awake! It is heavily fragranced though so if you don’t like that, this may not be for you.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow® Waterproof, Smudge Proof Brow Pomade
This could be very 2016 of me but I still use the pomade every day and I love it. It is harder to use I feel than a regular brow pencil but it looks so much more natural in my opinion and it allows for more creative control.
Huda Beauty Rose Quartz Eyeshadow Palette
This eyeshadow was my favorite one when I worked at Sephora because it is so pigmented and gives you the prettiest eye looks. More of the shimmers lean pink but I love pink so I am okay with that.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Waterproof Matte Liquid Eyeliner
This eyeliner is nice because it has a think precise applicator and it is waterproof. It dries matte and lasts all day long.
Ardell Naked False Lashes #420 Multipack
These eyelashes are super natural looking and aren’t dramatic. They are comfortable to wear all day and don’t irritate my eyes. I actually put mascara on them once I have them on to give me more of a dramatic look.
MAC Lip Liner Pencil
This lipliner goes so well with so many different colors. It is super creamy!
MAC M·A·CXIMAL Silky Matte Viva Glam Lipstick- Viva Planet (Shade)
Not sure if i’m slow at learning that MAC lipsticks are a lot bigger than the old ones? Just picked this one up and I am obsessed. The perfect nude shade. That’s all.
Skindinavia The Makeup Finishing Spray
Setting spray is so important if you want your makeup to last all day! This is my personal favorite. I use the bridal version but they also have a regular and an oily one. It really is transfer proof.
