Everyone needs SPF, especially for their face. This sunscreen from ELF is 30 SPF and is a makeup primer. It adds a fun shimmer to your skin to start your makeup routine on the right foot.
Suntouchable Whoa Glow Makeup Primer with SPF 30
I love this primer for my t-zone! After I apply my sunscreen I apply dabs of this to my t-zone, rub it in, and then let my hands sit on it to warm the putty up and let it melt into my skin.
Poreless Putty Face Primer
I love this foundation! I pour a small amount on a dense makeup brush and dab it on my face before blending out with a damp beauty blender. It melts into the skin perfectly and doesn’t break me out!
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup
Beauty blender for blending out makeup and creating a more natural look. Be sure to wet it and squeeze out the water before using.
Beauty Blender
The best concealer I have ever used! Gives a ton of coverage without looking too “cakey”. Blends super well. Use it to cover acne or dark spots.
Filter Effect Soft Radiance Concealer
This liquid blush from ELF is gorgeous! I dab a small amount (it’s pigmented!) on the balls of my cheek bones and use a beauty blender to dab it out and soften the color. The only downside is the tube itself gets very messy so do not leave it lid-dow...
Halo Glow Blush Beauty Wand
The ONLY loose setting powder I have ever used that actually works and perfects that final makeup look. Use it with a triangular powder puff. I like to place the powder under my eyes and in my t-zone to help reduce oil shine throughout the day.
Infallible Blur-Fection Longwear Loose Setting Powder
This triangular powder puff makes it super easy to apply setting powder. I recommend the L’Oréal infallible blur-fection setting powder.
Sonia Kashuk™ Makeup Powder Puff - 2ct
I’m not well versed in a variety of setting mists because once I found this one, I stopped looking. It’s a nice, light mist that keeps makeup looking perfect for hours. It’s not sticky either!
Continuous Setting Mist
This eyebrow pencil/crayon is so easy to use! It glides on smoothly to help fill out eyebrows while looking natural. One side is the crayon and the other side is a brush.
Express Brow Ultra Slim Defining Eyebrow Pencil
This mascara really lengthens eyelashes to make it look like you’re wearing false lashes.
Lash Sensational® Washable Mascara
These lip liners are so beautiful and apply smoothly to your lips! I wear it everyday!
