The past couple of weeks I have been trying out new viral makeup products, per request, I am putting all the ones that made the cut into my routine all in one place!

I am the first to admit I am high maintenance in all other areas in life, except for the makeup area. The products that I use are fool proof and extremely user friendly. Sharing all the products that are in my makeup bag, for all occasions. Let’s dig in.

FACE

Glow First Priming Serum: I wear this when I want my makeup to stay on! This is a skin-loving gel-serum has the complexion-improving results of a serum with the makeup-extending power of a primer—so basically, this one does it all. Throw this one before your foundation or wear it by itself for a little xt glow Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer: This is for my “no makeup” makeup look. It’s super low-key with just a touch of coverage to help even out your skin. It has skincare ingredients from Vitamin C to help with the dewy glow along with 20 SPF. This is an absolute must to have in your pool/lake bag during the summer! I wear their medium shade (310). HUAS LABS FOUNDATION: You can seen me talk about this a LOT on my social lately. It feels like a second skin, has 20+ skincare ingredients in it with buildable coverage and helps cover redness with minimal product. Their online shade finder was extremely user friendly and I was able to find my correct shade the first try. 11/20 recommend grabbing this for your makeup bag. Laura Mercier Blurring Powder Translucent Powder: This powder is actually magic. It gives an instant and noticeable blur and helps hold your makeup in place all day! My eyelids used to always crease with my concealer, now I just pat some on top of my eyelid after I apply concealer and I am crease-free. Tarte Ultra Creamy Concealer: Speaking of concealer, I love how lightweight and creamy this one is. It has great coverage. I was using their Creaseless Concealer but it was really tacky and irritated under my eyes. Tarte Shape Tape: Another product you have seen me talking about a lot. As I shared, I got shade “warm bronze” and it is a shade to dark but I am making it work. Again, a little goes a long way! Also recommend grabbing the package deal with their contouring brush, the angle makes contouring MUCH easier. Anastasia Cream Blush: I grab this for my minimal makeup days. Again, you cannot go wrong with cream products and just apply with a brush. I use shade nectarine. Rare Liquid Blush: I finally got my paws on this. It is VERY pigmented, so you literally only need like 2-3 little dabs. I use shade, “Encourage”.

EYES

Benefit Brow Gel: I grabbed a mini just to try it out and ended up falling in love with it. I actually liked that the brush was smaller, it helped make applying a lot easier/more precise. I also thought the color was a lot more pigmented than the Anastasia Brow Gel. I got shade 3.5 YSL Volume Mascara: I got a full size of this so I am going to use all of it, but I probably won’t buy it again. It does not clump which I do love, but I need 3 coats for me to get the volume that I like. If you like more settle eye lashes, highly recommend. Ilia Mascara: I will definitely be going back to this when I run out of the YSL. I LOVED the volume and it was much easier to wash off at night. My favorite mascara right now! Ilia Eye Cream: Their eye cream (aka liquid eye shadow) is foolproof. I stick with one shade all over my eye lid by applying with a brush. It has great pigmentation, blendable and buildable. NYX Eyeliner: I grabbed this because it was the only white eyeliner left lol I apply this on the bottom of the inside of my eyes. It’s supposed to help give a wider/brighter look to your eyes.

LIPS

Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip Kit: I just got a sample pack of this combo and I actually loved it! The lipstick was a little darker than what I go for, but it totally grew on me once I added some Dior Lip Oil overit. Dior Lip Oil: If you do not have this in your purse, you MUST grab it! I have 2 of them. One for my purse and one for in my bathroom. They have a lot of shades to choose from but I stay with shade 00 and 01. It has the PERFECT shine and isn’t sticky. Tarte Juicy Lip Balm: I LOVE Tarte’s lip products. I legit own almost every color because it is THAT good. My favorite is theirlip plump - it’s super settle (kinda like a mint tingle) also acting as a lip balm, gloss and treatment. 12/10 recommend.
