What’s In My Makeup Bag Year Round
HERE ARE MY CURRENT FAVORITE MAKEUP PRODUCTS THAT I GET READY WITH EVERY DAY!
SUPERGOOP TINTED SPF
I have used the same tinted SPF since 2012! When I find something I like, I stick with it! However, a few weeks ago I saw someone on TikTok apply this product to the back of her hand and I knew I had to have it! It gives my skin the most gorgeous bronze glow. I love how it doesn’t have a gross smell that some SPF products have, and doesn’t make my face feel greasy! Definitely a winner in my book!
ELF PORELESS PRIMER
I’m defiantly late to the party on this one, but after seeing so many makeup artist rave about this primer I decided to add it to my collection… and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! I’m usually not a big primer girl… but now I am! I just love the way it blurs my pores and creates a smooth canvas for my makeup. It’s super light weight and texture is amazing - the best way I can describe it is it feels silky (not greasy… silky)
HOLLYWOOD FLAWLESS FILTER
Sometimes when I apply my primer over my super goop spf it mattifies the glow, so I apply CT flawless filter to bring that glow back! What I love about this product is you can use it on its own for a very light natural coverage or you can apply it before, mixed with, or on top of your favorite foundation!
BEAUTIFUL SKIN FOUNDATION
I cannot tell you how many foundations I have tried over the years… probably 100’s and let me tell you when I say this is the BEST foundation I’ve ever used…. I’m being dead serious!!!!! It’s the holy grail of medium coverage foundation! What makes it so unique is the skincare ingredients it’s formulated with! So upon application my skin instantly looks more plumped, hydrated and youthful! A foundation that looks gorgeous and is good for my skin? … sign me up all day long!
HUDA BEAUTY - FAUX FILTER CONCEALER
Oh my goshhhhh!!!! This concealer is a game changer !!! It’s everything I want for my under eyes in one product. It concealed my discoloration, brightened, hydrated, and blurred the skin under my eyes! Not only does it blend out beautifully, but it’s the first concealer I’ve used that does not crease up on me when I bake it with setting powder.
MAKEUP BY MARIO - TRANSFORMING SKIN ENHANCER
Mario truly creates the best products and this one is at the top of my list. I like to use it as a bronzer to warm up my face after I apply my foundation & concealer! It has buildable coverage and blends well giving my skin an airbrush effect and radiant summer glow.
MAKEUP BY MARIO - SOFTSCULPT® SHAPING STICK
Love love love this product for contouring my face! The stick comes with an attached blending brush that works great if you apply the product directly to you skin…. But I like to apply my contour to the back of my hand, picking up the product with a condensed brush, and then gently tapping it into my skin where I want a sharp contoured illusion. By applying the product this way I’ve found it to be way easier to create a natural “shadow effect” vs a cakey “dirty” look that contour can sometimes create.
SEINT LIP + CHEEK PALETTE
Girlllllll allow me to introduce you to blush heaven!!!! I am HOOKED on these, and I can’t get enough of them! These are cream blushes that double as lip tints! They are extremely pigmented, buildable, and blend beautifully. A little bit goes a long way, so the product last you a really long time!
Oh and my favorite part…you get to create a customized palette with all your favorite shades. My favorites include: Sandstone, Tropicana, Plum, and Hollywood.

NYX MICRO BROW PENCIL
I’m still experimenting with brow products because shaping & filling in my brows does not come easily for me! If you ask me what two things I struggle with the most it’s brows and winged liner! So with that being said I’ve found this brow pencil to be really easy to work with!! It’s a super fine micro tip that creates hair like strokes, and has brow brush on the other side to help with shaping.
NYX RETRACTABLE LIP LINER
This is my everyday go to lip liner! Aside from the fact that is only $5 I loveeee that it’s a twist up so I never have to worry about having a sharpener. It glides on like a creamy crayon and it last for hours, even when I’m eating and drinking!
It comes in many different shades - my go-to is the shade natural - it’s perfect for extenuating my lip shape without them looking over done!
NYX BUTTER GLOSS
You might be able to tell I’m a big fan of NYX products by now lol! These glosses are AMAZING! The texture is perfect giving your lips a gorgeous shine without a sticky feeling. Oh, and they smell like a vanilla dessert! So yummy!!
You can rock it on its own or layer it on top of your favorite lipstick! My go-to shades are Butterscotch and Tiramisu!
HUDA BEAUTY - EASY BAKE
LOOSE BAKING & SETTING POWDER
I have a hate love relationship with setting powders. So many of the ones I’ve tried create creases over my concealer & mattify my makeup too much, creating a dull, cakey look!
I fell in love with this powder the very first time I tried it because of its light and silky texture that truly blends seamlessly into my skin!!
While it does “mattify” it also provides a bit of a sheen doing a beautiful job brightening my under-eye area, and enhancing my contouring - I use the shade banana bread, but I’m excited to try her other shades too!
It does a beautiful job of helping my makeup stay put all day & night - and that’s hard to do when you live in Florida humidity!
Huda says it best - “you can bake without the cake”
CHARLOTTE TILBURY SETTING SPRAY
Oooooh baby! I love this product so much and it’s great for ALL skin types and can be used with any brand of makeup in my opinion! Aside from the fact that it primes & sets for up to 16 hours, it’s really hydrating and light weight!
3 WAYS I LIKE TO USE IT:
Apply on skin before your foundation as a primer
Spray on your beauty blender / beauty sponge when blending to set each layer of makeup
Spray again AFTER you bake with setting powder. This brings back that dewy look to your makeup without disturbing the mattifying benefits of setting powders!
