SPF
I never thought I would hear these words coming out of my mouth… but I freaking LOVE this cult favorite sunscreen. Best part… there is a formula for everyone. Choose between Glowscreen (my personal obsession that I get excited to apply every morning), Unseen (totally clear as if it’s not even there), Mineral Mattescreen (great for those with large pores / oily skin)
MAKEUP
SHEER FILTER/ TINTED MOISTURIZER / FOUNDATION
Hollywood Flawless Filter - if you don’t already have it, you need it! This stunning complexion booster is an essential part of my daily makeup routine - whether I’m doing a “no makeup” makeup up look or a full glam session this is always the makeup product I start with. You can use it in four different ways.
On its own for a sheer filtered complexion.
Underneath your foundation
Mixed with your fave foundation
On top of your foundation to illuminate the high points of your face
For more coverage with SPF Rare Beauty Tinted Moisturizer has stolen my heart. It has a lightweight texture while still doing a phenomenal job of covering major imperfections. This is a great product for your natural makeup look days.
If you’re in need of an actual foundation Charlotte Tilbury’s Beautiful Skin Foundation is the BEST medium coverage foundation I’ve ever used (and I have tried too many to count). Infused with skincare ingredients it’s hydrating, skin improving, and blends flawlessly — giving your makeup routine the magic it deserves!
CONCEALER
The Kosas Revealer Concealer went viral on TikTok! After seeing 100’s of beauty gurus raving about it I knew I had to give it a try! And let me tell you… it did NOT disappoint! Upon application it blends into your skin seamlessly, it’s hydrating, and provides a skin-like finish that doesn’t crease throughout the day!
For a more matte full coverage look I love Huda Beauty’s Faux Filter Concealer. This is a great product for anyone with oily skin, dark circles, or blemishes.
BRONZER / CONTOUR / BLUSH / HIGHLIGHTER
Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer has been a staple of mine for yearsssss and it still remains my favorite powdered bronzer.
I have two staple contour products. This Cream Contour Stick has a beautiful matte finish and it comes with an angled buffing brush making it easy to blend (even for beginners) and of course Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Contour Wand is where it’s at! A little bit goes a long way so this product should last you a while (pro tip: use a buffing brush to blend this product not a sponge).
This liquid blush is another “Tik Tok made me buy it” product that did not disappoint! I love the shades Entourage and Happy!
My sister in law told me about applying this powder blush over my liquid blush when I’m going for a more glam look. But to be honest it’s beautiful enough to use on it own too!
I said it at the beginning of this post and I’ll say it again — Hollywood Flawless Filter is the perfect product to highlight the high points of your face!
If you like a little less dewy but still shimmery look try this Pressed Highlighter - she’s a beauty!
EYES
This eyeshadow primer is the golden ticket to achieving a vibrant, crease-free, and long lasting eyeshadow application.
If you love natural / earthy / mauve eyeshadow tones I cannot recommend this eyeshadow palette enough! The pigments are absolute perfection.
Eyes to mesmerize is the most gorgeous cream shadow! It comes in 11 stunning shades — my go to color is champagne!
For the perfect winged eyeliner I love this liquid pen by Kat Von
LIPS
Lip products are amongst my favorite makeup items! There’s just something about a outlining and filling in my lips that makes me feel beautiful.. so I have a few different ones I wanna share with you.
Of all the lipsticks available at Sephora this Power Bullet Cream Lipstick is my favorite! It gives your lips a natural, fuller-looking pout with a hydrating / dewy finish! I wear the color HUSTLA and pair it with this lip liner for more definition!
For the perfect pink lip combo this mini pillowtalk liner and lipstick duo by Charlotte Tilbury is all you need!
If you know me you know the Laneige Sleep Masque is the one thing I cannot be without (I’m pretty sure I have one in every room of my house and in every purse of mine, just to make sure I have access to it multiple times a day!) Everyone needs and will love this product - Oh, and it makes a perfect stocking stuffer gift so grab more than just for you!
For the ultimate long-lasting lip wear you have to try this lip liner. I love the shades taupe and rose (pro tip: fill your lips in with the liner to create a long lasting base for your favorite gloss)
PRIMER / SETTING POWDER / SETTING SPRAY
If you love clean products Set The Stage Hydrating Primer Serum is a silicone-free formula with antioxidants that help to hydrate and soothe. I love applying this before my Elf Poreless Primer.
To control shine and excess oils peeping through your makeup this translucent setting powder or compact powder are all you need! Use this powder puff to apply and set both products.
When it comes to setting sprays I love the classic All Nighter I’ve been using it since my college days (it truly keeps your makeup on allllll night) or Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray is a more recent product that I’ve fallen in love with.
BEAUTY TOOLS
Of course I’m going to recommend the one and only Beauty Blender! It truly works magic and right now is a great time to stock up on them at the discounted price!
I recommended this Power Pocket Puff above but I wanted to highlight it again. It’s perfectly sized and shaped so you get a precise application every time.
I hope my “must haves” guide was helpful and if you choose to try any of these products please let me know what you loved!
Happy shopping Queens!
