Hi everyone,
Welcome back to my blog! I’m so excited to be blogging again and I have a lot of fun things planned for this month that I can’t wait to share with you. But for now I’m sharing my favorite makeup products that I have been using nonstop this fall!
I just want to start off with saying that I am no where near being a professional with makeup and I am still learning how to perfect my makeup routine. These are all products that I have found work best for me, my skin type, and my makeup routine. What works for me may not work for you! I also want to preface by saying that makeup can be pricey and I didn’t buy these products all at the same time but rather gradually grew my collection!
You can find all of these products linked under the SHOP MY LOOKS tab or linked HERE!
Let’s jump in!
Moisturizer
Kopari Peptide Glow Hydrating Moisturizer | $36
As someone who has extremely dry skin, I love this product! It is very lightweight on my skin and makes my makeup look so smooth on top of it. As it is on the pricier side for moisturizers, I typically only use this product when wearing makeup.
Bronzing Drops
Drunk Elephant Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops | $38
I mix a couple of these bronzing drops into my moisturizer to achieve an effortless bronzed look. It’s a great way to give your face a little bit if color while still staying out of the sun!
Sunscreen
Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen | $38
I am extremely picky when it comes to face sunscreen, especially when I’m wearing makeup over it and this one definitely lives up to the hype. It goes on so smooth creates an even layer that makes applying makeup on top so easy.
TULA Skincare Mineral Magic | $38
This is another sunscreen that I have been using for years. Its very lightweight and goes on so smooth and even. Even though it has a color to it, it isn’t tinted. This may just be in my head but I also feel like it covers up some uneven spots on my face.
Foundation
Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation + Concealer | Shade CN 10 Alabaster | $40
I have no clue what I am doing when it comes to foundations so this one was recommended to me. It offers a good amount of coverage without looking like too much and it makes my skin looking smooth and dewey.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint | Shade Buff 30 | $15
This is a good drug store foundation option that I will also frequently use. As someone with super dry skin, I love that it has hyaluronic acid to keep my skin healthy and moisturized.
Concealer
Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy Concealer | Shade 22N Light Neutral | $32
I have been using Tarte concealers for years and years and I was super excited when they came out with the ultra creamy version. It blends so easily and I love that it helps with color correction since my face naturally has a lot of redness to it. It also has eye cream built into it with helps with hydration.
Contour
Milk Sculpt Stick | Shade Toasted | $24
I love me a good cream stick and Milk is one of my favorite brands for just such a thing. It goes on so smoothly and blends so well. I’m always pretty liberal while using this product and I feel like it just blends in so well with my skin tone while adding dimension to my face. This is definitely one of my favorite products to use.
Blush
Milk Cooling Water Jelly Tint | Shade Spritz-Coral | $24
This is actually a stain that can be used for both lip and cheek but I only really use it for my cheeks. I loved using this during the summer to get a little bit of a sun kissed look without actually being in the sun. Since it is a jelly, it’s so easy on the skin and feels so good going on.
e.l.f Camo Liquid Blush | Shade Dusty Rosé | $7
I cannot rave enough about this blush. It is super pigmented so a little bit goes a long way. This color specifically will be so perfect for fall and I can’t wait to get my hands on more shades- especially with each of them being only $7! I could not recommend this product enough.
Highlighter
Tarte Glow Tape | Shade Golden Glow | $36
This highlighter gives such a gorgeous glow. As someone who has very warm undertones, I love how this shade pairs with my skin. I know there are a lot of mixed feelings on this type of applicator but I actually really like as it makes it so easy to apply as a liquid highlighter.
Fenty Beauty Liquid Killawatt Fluid Freestyle Highlighter | Shade Hu$tla Baby 2.0 | $32
This is one of those products where a little bit goes a long way. The product itself is pretty thick so this tube will for sure last you a while. I have actually also used this highlighter as a liquid eye shadow since it is pretty thick and pigmented and I have loved how that has looked.
Powder
Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Setting Powder | Shade Banana | $36
Okay so I’m not actually a big user of powder but this has been my recent go to. I love how it brightens my skin
Eyebrows
ABH DipBrow | Shade Granite | $23
I have been using this product since high school so it’s safe to say that I’m pretty attached to it. My brows are pretty dark so I do use the darkest shade but with this but it is so creamy that I can blend it out as much or as little as I want. Also, a little bit of this goes a pretty long way so it will definitely last you a while.
Eye Shadow
ABH Soft Glam Palette | $45
This is another product that I have been using for year and have purchased several times. I just love the shades of brown that are included as well as the several sparkly shades. They are super blendable and last quite a while.
Makeup by Mario The Original | $50
This is actually a recent product that I have been loving. As you can see, there are a lot of color similarities between this palette and Soft Glam which is why it originally appealed to me. This is a beautiful palette that is super blendable and quickly became my go-to.
Mascara
L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes | Shade Black | $11
This drugstore mascara is my ride or die. I really love the shape of the brush and how it applies which I think is the main reason why I keep running back to it. I have tried several other mascaras and no other brush feels the same. I will say that this is definitely not a waterproof mascara but they do sell a waterproof version that I personally am not a huge fan of. I actually kind of like that it isn’t waterproof. It doesn’t smudge or run when you cry and but it’s still easy to take off in the shower or while washing your face.
Lip Products
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm | Shade Vanilla | $24
I know this is totally basic but the hype for Summer Fridays is REAL. This is the one product that I always have on me no matter where I go. My lips always feel so soft and hydrated and I love how this shade adds the perfect amount of gloss and shine. I’m hoping to get my hands on some new shades soon!
Kosas Wet Lip Oil Plumping Peptide Lip Treatment Gloss | Shade Unhooked | $22
This is never a product that I would have reached for myself and it was actually given to me as a gift because I am OBSESSED. This quickly became my absolute favorite lip product and this color is so perfect and so beautiful. The color goes on super smooth and doesn’t feel sticky. Since it is a lip oil, it’s also hydrating. I have become a huge fan of this brand and I can’t wait to add more products to my collection.
e.l.f. Lip Plumping Gloss | Shade Pink Cosmo | $7
This has been my go-to lip gloss for years. First of all, you are always getting a great deal for a great product with e.l.f. Each time I buy this tube I feel like it lasts me a while also. This shade is the perfect light pink color without being too bright. Every time I use this gloss, I can also feel it plumping my lips which I love.
TULA Lip SOS Treatment Balm | $18
This is one of my favorite products when I want a little bit of color but am mainly looking for hydration when my lips are extremely dry. It does only come in one shade called Blushing Lemonade which is a dark dusty rose type color. I do really like the color and it doesn’t go on extremely pigmented so I do think it would look good on everyone. Like I said, I mainly use this for hydration where it definitely comes in handy.
