FACE

Blush

This is truly one of those shades that I feel like goes with any makeup look.▶ 7:29–7:33
The glow play formula is really unique in my opinion.▶ 7:33–7:35
This is one of those spongy blushes that really mimics your skin's texture and looks more like a flush on your skin versus like a powder or a cream.▶ 7:39–7:46
It applies like a cream but sets down like a powder.▶ 7:46–7:55
Ginger Luck is the one that I actually repurchased because I love it so much.▶ 7:57–8:02
If you are a similar skin tone to me or a couple shades deeper, a couple shades lighter, but you have those warm undertones and you really want a blush that's not gonna pull orange, but give you a little hint of that color, Ginger Luck is the one.▶ 8:05–8:06
There's a little bit of pearl to this, so you don't need to use highlighter when you use this blush.▶ 8:25–8:26
They will look like a cream on your skin, but they will feel like a powder.

cream blush · satin · $25.00 · Sephora, rhodeskin.com
I think this is the perfect everyday shade.▶ 17:55–17:57
You can't go wrong with the pocket blushes in general.▶ 18:00–18:03
I love toasted teddy freckle sleepy girl sprinkle I like all the I think there's pretty much like Maybe one or two shades that don't really work for me in the Rhode pocket blushes.▶ 18:06–18:10
Tan line is the one that has totally become my favorite.▶ 18:14–18:16
I like this more than toasted teddy now and you guys know how much I love Rhode toasted teddy.▶ 18:18–18:22
Tan line is the perfect pinky brown that can be used all over the face just to give the complexion a little bit of a flush without looking too Pinky and blushy.▶ 18:22–18:29
I think that's why I love this so much.▶ 18:29–18:32
I will take it on the top of the forehead the nose cheeks chin like I use it as an all-over face color and the formula is Really nice and pigmented super creamy Absolutely beautiful.▶ 18:33–18:39

blush duo · radiant · $25.00 · Sephora, patrickta.com, sbrandsofficial.com
I think the Patrick Ta blushes are great for the sale because I think the fact that you get the same shade in two different formulas is incredible.▶ 18:47–18:53
You're gonna get the powder and you're gonna get the cream.▶ 18:56–18:58
You can wear the powder on its own or the cream on its own or you can do the powder set with the cream. Do it the Patrick Ta way or the cream and then the powder.▶ 18:58–19:04
With either of these I feel like you're gonna have your new everyday go-to blush with these shades specifically.▶ 19:07–19:13
You'll just wear it every day. It's gonna go with any makeup look all the way from like super dramatic colorful eyeshadow all the way to a no makeup makeup everyday type of look.▶ 19:13–19:21

Bronzer

bronzer stick · natural · $35.00 · TooFaced.com, Ulta
I love this.
This is something I've repurchased now twice.▶ 8:52–9:00
I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do.▶ 8:58–9:02
It's super creamy, really easy to work with.▶ 9:00–9:05
Just a lovely buttery formula and it's beautiful.▶ 9:02–9:08
This has become one of my favorite cream bronzers.▶ 9:05–9:13

liquid bronzer · natural · $36.00 · Sephora, Sephora UK, Natasha Denona
This is incredible.
It's very full coverage.▶ 16:36–16:38
It almost has the coverage of a full coverage foundation.▶ 16:42–16:45
It also does a good job at covering things up if you wear it as an underpainting layer underneath your foundation.▶ 16:47–16:52
I do agree with the self-setting claim.▶ 16:52–16:55
Looks a little bit dewy in that demo swatch because it hasn't set down.
But after about five minutes, the product really does take on a powdered finish and it stays put.▶ 16:58–17:03

powder bronzer · matte · $64.00 · Dior
I love the way it looks.
It's a true matte bronzer with a really nice fine mill powder so that it really goes onto the skin like silk.▶ 17:08–17:20
It does not look quite as matte as some other powders do because it's so finely milled.▶ 17:20–17:25
It's just got this really nice buttery slip to it and gives you more of an airbrushed finish on the skin.▶ 17:25–17:31
I use the shade number three and I feel like it's a great shade to take all over the entire face and use this as a bronzer on its own or it makes a really nice setting bronzer.▶ 17:31–17:36
If I'm wearing like a cream bronzer and I want to make sure it stays in place all day but I want to keep the tone of that bronzer without setting it with a translucent powder, I'll always reach for this.▶ 17:36–17:44
And again, got moved to my everyday makeup status.▶ 17:49–17:52

NARSPowder Bronzer

Samoa (discontinued) / Laguna
It truly is like the bronzer that got me in love with bronzer.▶ 5:54–5:57
The NARS bronzers, they stand up to the test of time.▶ 6:17–6:26
Even if I could only pick one powder bronzer, I think I would still go with the NARS just because I know the formula.▶ 6:29–6:33
I think that NARS still remains supreme and is still one of my most used makeup products and one of my absolute favorite bronzer formulas.▶ 6:39–6:44
If you're looking for a bronzer that's not necessarily trendy or new, but you just want a product that you know you'll reach for, a product that you know will be a good formula and always look really beautiful on your skin, go with the NARS.▶ 6:47–6:50
I do think NARS really has nailed the formulation with their bronzers.▶ 6:59–7:03
The fact that they've withstood the test of time and it's still one of their best products makes it a standout.▶ 7:06–7:11

bronzer · matte · $42 · farahomidi.com, Sephora
I've only had this one for a couple weeks and it's already become a favorite.▶ 10:06–10:09
It really does have a unique formula.▶ 10:09–10:14
It is like buttery and has this soft, luminous, almost stain-like effect.▶ 10:11–10:18
Crazy how it melts into the skin like a cream, but then it sets like a powder and it really does have that luminous finish.▶ 10:16–10:22

Concealer

KosasRevealer Concealer

6.8w, 8w, 6.2n, 550
concealer · natural · $32 · Kosas, Sephora
This is my favorite concealer.▶ 4:09–4:13
If I'm not doing the Hourglass illusion and let's say I just want to do some sunscreen and the super glowy gel, I will then pull out one of my shades of the Kosas revealer concealer.▶ 4:15–4:19
A lot of days I do kind of wear this as a foundation and just wear this on its own.▶ 4:28–4:36
It's light. I feel like my skin can breathe and I can just spot conceal, add a little bit of dimension.▶ 4:33–4:39
There is literally a shade that matches my skin tone exactly, a shade that covers hyperpigmentation for me.▶ 4:39–4:46
I have two brightening shades for adding dimension into the middle of the face.▶ 4:46–4:50
This is like truly holy grail status.▶ 4:50–4:56
I feel like I've talked about this for so many years, but when I'm telling you that I love it, I mean, I love the Kosas Revealer concealer.▶ 4:54–4:57

concealer · natural · $32 · Sephora UK, Kosas.com
I have like five different shades of this concealer. I will oftentimes wear it as an all-over base product as well because I think it just looks good in any circumstance.▶ 13:00–13:11
It's also really nice and moisturizing.▶ 13:11–13:13
I love it underneath the eyes.
I love it to cover hyperpigmentation, pimples, redness, darkness.▶ 13:16–13:19
It's really the concealer that does it all for me and I don't think I'll ever not be a Kosas revealer concealer fan.
I think it's just been my go-to for so many years now and even when I try new stuff I'm like I don't think I'm liking anything as much as the Kosas revealer concealer so I just don't think anything could take its place.▶ 13:22–13:35
If you like a moisturizing, radiant, juicy looking concealer I don't think you can go wrong with the one from Kosas.▶ 13:35–13:45

concealer · natural · $32 · Kosas, Sephora
Truly a concealer that does it all.
I will wear this as concealer and foundation.▶ 10:37–10:39
It moisturized those dried out pimples and didn't make them look as dry as like a typical foundation would.▶ 9:34–9:46
It is creamy. It is moisturizing.
It's not super glowy to where I feel like it looks very luminous on the complexion in a way that doesn't look natural.▶ 10:01–10:14
Truly one of the best formulas I have found for my skin type.▶ 10:14–10:19
I've never had issues with longevity with this concealer.▶ 10:21–10:23
It feels really nice and moisturizing like an eye cream. It doesn't feel like a typical concealer.▶ 10:26–10:31

concealer · radiant · $42.00 · Sephora, Armani Beauty, Sephora UK
I actually love this.▶ 26:45–26:47
I liked the original, like the Luminous Silk concealer that had the frosted packaging.▶ 26:47–26:52
This does pair really nicely with the new foundation formulation.▶ 26:55–27:00
This concealer as well does have more of that medium coverage.▶ 26:58–27:06
It's not fully high coverage.▶ 27:02–27:06

concealer · natural · $58.00 · Sephora, sarahcrealbeauty.com
This is the Sarah Creal Face Flex Concealer.▶ 13:49–13:51
It's really under eye friendly, especially because if I'm having dryness under my eyes, I feel like it's the worst nightmare.▶ 13:54–14:00
A lot of concealers will bring the dry patches or just like the crepiness under the eyes to light and kind of emphasize that in a way that's obviously not very flattering.▶ 14:00–14:11
With the Sarah Creal Concealer, it doesn't do that.▶ 14:11–14:14
It's not creaseless but I do find it settles into my lines around my eyes significantly less than other concealers and I like the finish on the skin it more of a satin finish.▶ 14:20–14:31
I like that this one has really amazing longevity it's like once it sets down it's got pretty good wear time on its own but again if you set it with powder it will be there the entire day no touch-ups needed.▶ 14:33–14:38
I also feel like it's not so juicy and emollient and like radiant of a finish that it doesn't cause you know like smudging from eye makeup on the top of the eye or underneath the eye.▶ 14:43–14:51

Contour

face palette · natural · $64.00 · Sephora, mphbeauty.com
I've kind of put this in my everyday makeup routine and ever since I've got it, I've made it my duty to use it every single day so that I can review it for you in a couple weeks.▶ 0:03–0:08
I do use it for underpainting because I think it works well like that, but I think it actually looks the best on top of makeup.▶ 6:10–6:14
I actually use every single shade in this palette quite often, except for this last shade right here.▶ 7:19–7:28
I feel like putting it on top of makeup gives me a little bit more of the result that I want in terms of it just being as dramatic as I like for like a contoured and highlighted look.▶ 7:36–7:44
If you do it underneath your makeup, you get that more subtle kind of like buttery skin.▶ 7:51–7:55
I also really like the little bit of color corrector mixed with highlight number one. And you can pop that right along the side of the nose.▶ 7:57–8:04
This kind of gives you that like photoshopped in real life type of look in the center of the face.▶ 8:06–8:12
These also have a blurring effect on the skin.▶ 8:10–8:17

Eye Primer

Foundation

foundation · matte · $60.00 · Dior, Dillard's, Sephora UK
You can see it just covers everything.▶ 32:33–32:39
Really nice and lightweight though.
Gorgeous powder finish.
Beautiful coverage.▶ 32:40–32:46
This is one of the reformulations that I like a lot better than the original.▶ 32:43–32:48
I'm happy with this amount of coverage.▶ 32:48–32:52
I think if you have dry skin, I really don't think you need to use powder.▶ 33:16–33:19
Really great longevity on this one, too.▶ 33:28–33:33
Source: Iconic foundations reformulated: testing new versions · Mar 2026
foundation · natural · $57.00 · Dior
The finish of this foundation is moisturized and glowy without looking greasy.▶ 37:53–37:57
Kind of takes on the appearance of freshly applied skin care.
It doesn't get any shinier than it was initially, but it will get some life back into it once it's been worn.▶ 37:05–37:16
It doesn't lose its sheen even when it's set with powder.▶ 37:19–37:23
I think it still keeps a really good amount of life to the formula.▶ 37:21–37:28
I love this foundation.▶ 37:36–37:39
The first time I wore it, I kept looking in the mirror and I was like, it looks so good.▶ 37:39–37:43
It's so beautiful.▶ 37:43–37:46

foundation · matte · $52.00 · Sephora, Estée Lauder
You'll notice it's got a little bit more flex to it.
It flexes with the face and it doesn't stay.▶ 19:04–19:08
It just doesn't feel as tight as the original did.▶ 19:06–19:10
It's significantly more matte than the areas where it's more sheer.▶ 19:14–19:19
I like the new version.
I agree with all the claims Estée Lauder has made about this foundation in terms of improving the longevity, a more modern, lifelike matte finish.▶ 21:55–22:01
It's not as flat and one-dimensional as the original was.▶ 22:06–22:10
I think it looks great.▶ 23:28–23:31

liquid foundation · natural · $69.00 · Sephora, Giorgio Armani Beauty
This kind of has taken on a little bit more of a gel-like formula.▶ 26:21–26:29
Still that nice, you know, light to medium coverage.▶ 26:31–26:38
I don't think the coverage has really changed much.▶ 26:36–26:40
Look how much light bounce we have off of the skin.▶ 26:40–26:43
I think this is beautiful.
I think this looks really nice.
It's just significantly so much more glowy than the original.▶ 27:10–27:16
The biggest difference across the board with the new Luminous Silk, it does not have that satin set down.▶ 27:27–27:41

foundation · natural · $60.00 · Sephora, Hourglass Cosmetics, bluemercury
I'm obsessed with this.
I originally got the shade 12. It's a little bit too light for most days, but I think this might be like more of my winter shade.▶ 2:13–2:25
I went several shades deeper and got shade 19.▶ 2:23–2:26
I basically just always mix these together to create a custom shade.▶ 2:25–2:32
It's really nice, lightweight.▶ 2:33–2:37
This also has an added SPF 30 to it.▶ 2:35–2:41
It's luminous, but it's not a sticky or like dewy tacky type of finish.▶ 2:49–2:55
The coverage is there, but also feels really nice and moisturizing throughout the day.▶ 2:52–2:59

foundation · natural · $48.00 · makeupbymario.com, Sephora, Sephora UK
I like this more than the original surreal skin foundation and I love that one.▶ 9:18–9:27
The original surreal skin is definitely a lot more of a dewy lover's dream.▶ 9:27–9:32
This has quite a unique set down. So it's going to be more of a satin finish on its own and I love the way it looks without powder.▶ 9:34–9:40
When it's paired with the MAKEUP BY MARIO powder or any powder in general, it really takes on that velvety blurred finish.▶ 9:40–9:44
The mario foundation is so lightweight.
It's going to be a lot more comfortable. It's got a good amount of flex to the product.▶ 10:27–10:35
Unlike other matte foundations, it's not going to crack and crumble. And I also find it significantly less likely to migrate on the face throughout the day and settle into lines.▶ 10:36–10:42
The MAKEUP BY MARIO one does a really good job at kind of staying in place. Especially when it's set with powder, a really great long wear and despite being a matte foundation, it does not feel drying on the skin.▶ 10:45–10:49

tinted serum foundation · dewy · $55.00 · Sephora, Neiman Marcus, Macy's
This is my probably favorite skin tint that's more full coverage.
With the Estée Lauder one, I feel like if you have things that you want to cover, so you have post-acne hyperpigmentation, active breakouts, redness darkness, but you don't want a full-on foundation. This is where the Estée Lauder really shines.▶ 5:44–6:00
I think it's like one of the best shade matches I have from any complexion product.▶ 6:00–6:06
It dries down really quick, but it has an exceptionally lightweight feel on the skin.▶ 6:08–6:11
It does not feel like makeup and because it dries down to a satin finish, you really don't feel it once the product is set down.▶ 6:12–6:22
It's not going to remain on the skin with much tack or the desire to be set with powder.▶ 6:22–6:28
If you're somebody who can typically skip out on powder, I love how this is not a distracting set down on the skin.▶ 6:28–6:31
You're not going to feel like your hair is going to stick to your face throughout the day, and it's not a distracting wear.▶ 6:34–6:39

foundation · luminous · $52.00 · Sephora, Natasha Denona
This shocked me how much I love this. I have been wearing this almost every single day when I want something that's a little bit more luminous.▶ 11:05–11:12
If you tend to like luminous radiant and glowy, I think you're going to love this just as much as I do.▶ 11:12–11:22
I feel like it fits in between a gel and serum.▶ 11:39–11:42
I know this is supposed to be a serum formula foundation but I actually feel like a lot of the qualities that I love about this foundation are very similar to characteristics that I love about some of my favorite gel foundations.▶ 11:43–11:46
This is also a pretty full flawless coverage.▶ 11:55–11:58
You can definitely sheer it out because of that formula.
A little bit of product really has this unique ability to be stretched far across the skin without looking weird or without looking patchy.▶ 12:01–12:11
I love the way it wears throughout the day.▶ 12:11–12:13
Source: Sephora Sale Must-Haves: Top Beauty Recommendations & In-Depth Reviews for 2025 · Oct 2025
This is such a unique bronzing formula.▶ 3:01–3:03
I have gone through multiple of these at this point.
It's a product that I constantly hit pan on and it's a product that I use up to its entirety very regularly.▶ 3:07–3:12
This product is initially kind of semi-sheer and you'll see when you blend it into the skin it's just gonna look like a sun-kissed tint on the skin.▶ 3:18–3:30
There's a little bit of pearl so it does give some glow which I love because my skin is dry.▶ 3:30–3:34
It really doesn't read onto the skin as super luminous or overly glowy to where you look like you have highlighter in the bronzer.▶ 3:37–3:41
It just enhances the complexion and gives you that radiance.▶ 3:45–3:48
When I wear the MAKEUP BY MARIO skin enhancer underneath makeup it still peeks out.▶ 4:07–4:12

foundation · natural · $95.00 · Chantecaille, Millo
It's pretty darn satin.▶ 11:28–11:32
It's much more of a smoothed out appearance on the skin.▶ 11:13–11:22
The coverage point is much higher.▶ 11:19–11:24
Dries down a lot quicker as well than the original did.▶ 11:22–11:28
You can't stretch it quite as far across the skin because it doesn't have that same slip to it like the original did.▶ 11:31–11:36
This new iteration of the foundation has much more of that smoothing and blurring quality to it.▶ 11:39–11:44
The more you build it up, the more it does take on that makeup appearance to the skin where you will notice it looks more like makeup.▶ 11:42–11:53
When you're setting with powder, you'll see it really, in my opinion, kind of takes on a much more matte finish.

Super warm tone.▶ 9:21–9:23
When I have some post acne hyperpigmentation, this is what I like to use because it's an actual foundation.▶ 9:28–9:32

I like the reformulation, but I also like the original.▶ 40:47–40:52
I feel like it looks exactly the same as the original.▶ 40:52–40:57
I don't think it's more of a modern matte.▶ 40:38–40:42

There are so many qualities about MPH that remind me of Armani Luminous Silk.▶ 29:28–29:32
It's very fluid.▶ 29:32–29:36
When you're using the liquid formula, you'll quickly start to see that powder set down happening on the skin as the product dries down.▶ 29:32–29:40
It really does have that slightly blurring, slightly powder filter effect that the original Luminous Silk did.▶ 29:43–29:48
She's also got some really great undertones in her line.▶ 29:50–29:54
She does a lot of golden undertones which fit really well.▶ 29:52–29:58
The MPH just drags across the skin like liquid silk.▶ 30:16–30:21

Highlighter

all-over luminizer · dewy · $29 · Saie, Sephora
The one illuminator that I know is really great with other products because it never pills is the super glowy gel.▶ 1:03–1:13
This one has like a little bit more of soft gold and pearl to it.▶ 1:16–1:21
What I really like about the Saie super glowy gels is they're not like your typical illuminator that's going to be a really heavy strobe and they just feel really nice and moisturizing.▶ 1:20–1:23
Super lightweight.▶ 1:21–1:25
I like how they don't peel up.▶ 1:30–1:33
You can pair it with other sunscreens, moisturizers, serums, whatever you're doing for the day, and it doesn't do that thing where the makeup kind of fights itself.▶ 1:31–1:36
If you have dry skin or a dull skin type like I do, using something like this underneath the base, I feel like it always makes such a big difference.▶ 1:53–1:58
I am not kidding you when I say like this has been what I leaned into the most starting back in probably May or even April.▶ 2:02–2:07

I love the formula of this palette and I love this setup.▶ 15:11–15:14
You have everything that you need in this palette.▶ 15:25–15:27
You have your cream highlight, the, sorry, color corrector, cream highlight one, cream highlight two, and you have a contour and a bronze.▶ 15:28–15:29

It's easy to build the products on top of itself to achieve the level of intensity that you so desire.▶ 15:38–15:45
If you want more of a natural type of contour and highlights it's very easy to attain that you really want to layer it on top of itself.▶ 15:45–15:49
It's really easy to get more intensity and more dramatic chisel and highlight from the palette.▶ 15:49–15:58

Primer

primer · natural · $30.00 · Sephora, Iconic London, Harrods
This does leave the skin really nice and luminous.▶ 3:04–3:13
I love that it comes in that serum formula because it doesn't just sit on top of the skin.▶ 3:16–3:21
It sits in between a dimethicone primer and a serum primer so there's definitely going to be a little bit of oil control from this as well.▶ 3:21–3:27
I just really like the way makeup applies on top of it.▶ 3:27–3:30
It just seems to blend over my skin like a butter and I love the soft amount of glow that I get from this one.▶ 3:32–3:37
It's never too much.
If you have a visibly dull skin type because you're more on the dry ends like I am, this is a total lifesaver.▶ 3:32–3:47
If you do want more of a traditional brightening illuminating primer that still feels really nice and lightweight and won't emphasize texture on the skin, I love the Dior Forever Glow Veil.▶ 3:47–3:53

Setting Powder

It's beautiful if you like a light pink kind of brightening powder underneath the eyes.▶ 11:41–11:46
It's pink without reading onto the skin too pink. It's very, very light, almost like a bright white pink, but it doesn't look unnatural in that way.▶ 12:03–12:06
I do prefer the pressed over the loose.▶ 12:12–12:15
I love how it doesn't emphasize the wrinkles underneath my eyes.
It gives me a really nice smooth looking under eye.
It will set the makeup with you know take away that greasy shine but not completely taking away all that radiance.
It doesn't completely mattify the skin to where it then looks one-dimensional.
That's why I am so picky with powders and I feel like that's why I keep going back to the Givenchy one.▶ 12:22–12:31

pressed powder · natural · $38.00 · makeupforever.com, make-up-for-ever.com.au
I really like the new Make Up For Ever HD Skin Perfecting Pressed Powder.▶ 19:26–19:30
I use the shade One Light for the center of the face because I do think keeping the center of the face is really important, especially if you are somebody that highlights and contours.▶ 19:32–19:37
On the perimeter of the face, I use 2.1 Medium.▶ 19:41–19:45
This is, in my opinion, something that can be used as a powder foundation or as a set.
I think that this works really well for setting makeup because it's actually going to keep the makeup in place for a long time.▶ 19:48–19:52
So this is a little bit more of a proper setting powder or powder foundation than a typical finishing or brightening powder is.▶ 19:52–19:57

setting powder · matte · $50.00 · Sephora, Estée Lauder
This is a great powder, but it is very, very matte.▶ 20:44–20:52
When you pair this on top of the foundation, it really looks like the original Double Wear.▶ 20:48–20:54
It even ups the coverage, which is kind of crazy.▶ 20:56–21:01
This looked flawless even without the Double Wear liquid foundation.▶ 21:01–21:07
That is like the original Estée Lauder Double Wear.▶ 21:04–21:14
This is like fully locked and loaded, staying in place.▶ 21:18–21:24

Setting Spray

setting spray · glossy · $34 · Sephora, onesizebeauty.com
The epitome of a product that I have used every single day since I bought it.▶ 14:05–14:09
With the One/Size powder melts it completely takes away that powder finish gives you a little bit more of a glassy sheen but it doesn't feel sticky.▶ 14:30–14:33
It forms a film over the complexion so it does help increase makeup's longevity.▶ 14:40–14:48
I love how it doesn't leave the complexion feeling sticky.
The One/Size powder melt mist does not have any pearl to it so it doesn't completely transform the way my makeup was already looking.▶ 14:54–15:03
It's almost like you're using the powder getting the benefits of the longevity and the smoothness from the powder but then it kind of erases that look so that it looks like your makeup is freshly applied the entire day.▶ 15:03–15:13
It's absolutely exceptional.
This one boosts longevity digs away that powder finish.▶ 15:40–15:44

setting spray · shimmer · £18 · Harrods, M&S, Very
This is the bronze version.▶ 22:09–22:10
It's the best.▶ 22:13–22:18
It gives the skin that final pearly set down.▶ 22:18–22:21
There's really no difference between the bronze and the original the regular pearly one.
It doesn't translate onto the skin enough to where there's that much of a difference.▶ 22:25–22:30
This one does have like a slight a slight bronze tint to it but I use them interchangeably and I don't think that there's one that I prefer over the other.▶ 22:30–22:40
It gives the skin a little bit more of a dewy radiance at first you might think it looks greasy but give it the full time to set down and it's just a really nice soft glow.▶ 22:40–22:51
It also does help with you know kind of taking away any of the powdery look on the skin but it's not going to make the skin sticky you just need a couple sprays.▶ 22:51–22:56

LIP

Lip Gloss

Lip Liner

My favorite lip pencils at Sephora hands down are going to be the MAKEUP BY MARIO pencils.▶ 18:56–19:01
The shade Toasty is definitely the standout.
Toasty is a little bit more pink, a little bit more smoky, a little bit more defining than Almond.▶ 19:53–20:04
I like how I can really cheat the size of my lips with Toasty.▶ 20:05–20:10
I do like the cool pinkiness that Toasty has.
His lip liners, they are buttery, they are smooth, they are pigmented, there's no dragging, there's no pulling.▶ 20:12–20:17
It's such a beautiful lip liner formula.▶ 20:17–20:19
It's been one of my most used lip pencils.▶ 20:47–20:51

Lip Stain

lip and cheek stain · sheer · $28.00 · Benefit Cosmetics, Sephora
I pretty much layer on to everything.▶ 20:06–20:09
I feel like every time I'm wearing Benetint in a lip combo, you almost always ask what it is because I think Benetint just makes everything look better.▶ 20:09–20:12
A lot of times, it's not even necessarily that. I think it's the combo. I think it's just Benetint underneath the lip colors making you think that it looks better than it actually does.▶ 20:14–20:21

Lip Treatment

Lipstick

This lipstick is my go-to lipstick. It is my perfect shade.▶ 21:26–21:30
This is my signature lipstick. This is the lipstick that I always wear.
I've been repurchasing and using tubes up of this since, again, the day that I tried it.▶ 21:39–21:48
This to me is like my perfect mauve.▶ 22:22–22:25
I love the formula of this lipstick. It's matte, but it's creamy and it feels more like a lip balm. It doesn't feel dry or tight like a lot of other matte lipsticks do.▶ 22:27–22:30
Charlotte Tilbury does mattes very well. Her matte lipsticks in general, they're not that powdery matte. They're more of a soft sateen matte.▶ 22:30–22:41
Regardless of the time of year, whether it's spring, summer, fall, winter, whatever it is, whatever hair color I have, it just so perfectly suits my complexion, always looks good.▶ 22:53–22:58
It's truly my favorite lipstick formula I've ever found.▶ 23:02–23:05

EYES

Brow Product

eyebrow pencil · natural · $26.00 · Anastasia Beverly Hills, Sephora
I've basically used up this brow pencil entirely.
I wanted to switch back to a little manual brow pencil because I feel like with the mechanical ones, the like spin up top ones, you know, I do love those, but I feel like I was going through like one or two a month.▶ 12:57–13:07
Switch back to a regular brow pencil and then see how long this lasts you because it'll probably last you a lot longer and you won't be just buying a brow pencil every 2 3 weeks.▶ 13:16–13:20
I've been using this for over eight weeks.▶ 13:24–13:28
It's definitely been over two months.▶ 13:33–13:36
I think I'm just going back to this type of brow pencil because it actually lasts and I can fill in my brows with it every single day and I don't have to worry about running out of brow pencil.▶ 13:34–13:38
Soft brown works for me. Even though my hair is black, it gives enough definition that like it fills in my brows, but it doesn't look too harsh or too cartoony.▶ 13:45–13:50

eyebrow pencil · natural · $26.00 · Anastasia Beverly Hills, Sephora
I've been using it every single day.▶ 24:38–24:40
I think that also the just traditional pencils versus like the mechanical ones, these are so much better for your money.▶ 24:40–24:43
I love the Anastasia Perfect Brow Pencil.▶ 24:47–24:50
It has more of a powdery finish, so it's really difficult to go overboard with the Anastasia one, and it has like a really nice powdery slip to it.▶ 24:51–24:52
When you're using the spoolie to disperse the product through the brows, it just does what you want it to do.▶ 24:59–25:00

It's gonna add tint.▶ 25:13–25:14
It's going to add you know some flexibility to the brows so that you can manipulate them get them to set exactly where you want.▶ 25:14–25:20
There's little shimmers in it.▶ 25:20–25:22
I say it all the time But I love that it kind of highlights and contours each brow hair and there's a little bit of fiber in there as well.▶ 25:24–25:29
It really beefs up each individual brow hair as well making the brows not only look more full But visibly look more full not from just the color but the actual fibers in the formula itself.▶ 25:29–25:34

Eyeshadow

I think it is the most functional eyeshadow palette ever.▶ 20:40–20:47
You have all these matte shades and shades that you will actually use.▶ 20:50–20:59
Not only can you utilize this eyeshadow palette on its own in its entirety because you can do your eyeshadow look but you can also use these deeper shades here for lining and defining the eyes so as eyeliners.▶ 20:56–21:05
It's a palette that you can add into the rotation of other eyeshadows or other eyeshadow palettes that you have a lot of.▶ 21:05–21:18
The shadows are buttery and emollient and the pigmentation is exceptional.▶ 21:29–21:32
It just the quality of the eyeshadows themselves are incredible.▶ 21:32–21:35
When it comes to eyeshadow I know that eyeshadow palettes are a huge investment and I feel like getting a palette that you will actually use comes above everything else.
Although the master mattes palette doesn't have like a fun shimmer shade or a fun pop of color it's an eyeshadow palette that you will actually use and I can guarantee that like it is the best.▶ 21:45–21:52

Mascara

mascara · $35.00 · Dior, Sephora
My favorite mascara of all time.▶ 18:37–18:38
The way that this can give me a strip lash film noir effect with tons of beautiful volume, wispiness, and a truly tapered lash.
This mascara comes to that point and it doesn't leave you with that bulky end on each lash.
This always looks so beautiful on the lashes.▶ 17:53–17:55
If you're wearing a smoky eye or a heavy eyeliner this mascara can hold its own. You can really build it up and get that fake lash effect without having to wear fake lashes.▶ 17:59–18:08
Holds a curl all day, does not smudge, does not flake.▶ 18:08–18:12
You can really manipulate the lashes and get them to look the way that you want.▶ 18:14–18:17
Truly a mascara that looks just as good on the bottom lashes as it does on the top lashes.▶ 18:19–18:23

mascara · $35.00 · DIOR US
The formula is wispy and waxy and because of that waxiness you can really manipulate the lashes It sits in a more dry formula, which I love because you can move your lashes around and really get them to set down exactly where you want them.▶ 24:03–24:10
I love the wispiness on this.▶ 24:19–24:21
If you don't want to wear false lashes, but you want the look of false lashes, the Dior Show will give you lashes that look like film noir strip lashes.▶ 24:22–24:25

SKINCARE

Serum

facial essence · natural · $54.00 · MARA, Sephora
What I love so much about this is it's actually an essence but it sits more in the formula similar to a serum.▶ 0:52–1:04
It's definitely a lot more substantial than your typical essence and that's why I feel like it's super ideal for makeup prep.▶ 0:57–1:08
There's also a little bit of pearl to this product so it gives the base a nice luminous glow.▶ 1:08–1:17
Really ideal for dry skin types specifically because instead of just sitting on the skin like a blockade, it really does get partially absorbed and the skin is just left feeling really nice and bouncy.▶ 1:22–1:33
I love the way everything has a little bit more slip, a little bit more glide and products just apply on top of it a lot nicer.▶ 1:33–1:43

This is much more thick in formula compared to the Mara.
Again, really ideal for dry skin types.▶ 1:50–1:51
It's just a really nice milky base and the Rhode one also makes a fabulous mixing medium.▶ 1:55–2:02
It really has such a nice transformative quality to it when you're playing around with different products and you want to kind of sheer them out.▶ 2:39–2:50
One of my favorite ways to use it is if a foundation is just a little bit too full coverage this is amazing so you can use it as a mixing medium but it's also a wonderful prep step.▶ 2:50–2:54
I'll do a couple layers of this on my skin before I go in with makeup it doesn't sit on top of the skin and you do really have this nice glass-like appearance to the skin.▶ 2:54–3:04

I love Orbe's shine products.▶ 37:25–37:32
This one specifically I'm obsessed with.▶ 37:35–37:37
This is the mirror rinse. So you use this in the shower after you shampoo instead of conditioner. It's literally a water, an oily water.▶ 37:40–37:45
This will make your hair look like you just went to the salon and got a gloss. I'm not even exaggerating.▶ 37:45–37:51
There's no color to it. It's clear, but it really gives the hair about like freshly glossed look.▶ 37:51–37:56
It lasts about three to five washes.▶ 38:03–38:04
This product is amazing. It really cuts down on frizz, makes the hair shiny, smooth, more manageable. It air dries prettier. It's incredible.▶ 38:55–39:08
Your hair will look like you went to the salon and got like a clear gloss or something.▶ 39:10–39:12

It gives such beautiful shine, such amazing hydration, especially to dried out ends of the hair.▶ 39:55–40:00
It gives the hair such amazing silky slip.▶ 40:00–40:02
It's beautiful as a styling oil but it's also amazing as a finishing oil.▶ 40:05–40:09
This has been my favorite hair oil for so many years.

Hair Treatment

I truly believe in this product.▶ 40:28–40:30
This is a serum that you apply from mid-lengths to ends really saturate those ends.▶ 40:34–40:38
If you have bleached hair specifically, that's who I think the 8-hour magic night serum would be the most standout for.▶ 41:10–41:24
You will wake up with the softest hair.▶ 41:47–41:56
After consistently using it every single night probably around like week two that's when you'll really start noticing the benefits.▶ 42:00–42:05
I do a few pumps of this really saturate the ends. I almost like over saturate the ends with the serum and then work just like a little bit through mid lengths and then I seal it in with the oil.▶ 42:14–42:26
By the time I wake up the two products have absorbed into my hair and it feels so silky and so smooth. It's way less frizzy. It's way more manageable.▶ 42:26–42:37
If your hair type is not damaged I do not think the eight hour magic night serum is worth it.▶ 42:48–42:54

If you tend to air dry your hair a lot or you go multiple days in between hair washes and you want to be able to use a heat protectant that's not going to leave that gummy feeling in your hair, this is the one from Moroccanoil.▶ 35:15–35:25
It's called the Perfect Defense. This is an aerosol, goes on to the hair dry, does not feel like anything.▶ 35:32–35:35
This one protects up to 450.▶ 35:35–35:42
This is a really great heat protectant if you feel like the heat protectant that you're using is leaving that residue in the hair because you're styling dried hair.▶ 35:35–35:49

Styling Product

This is truly a weightless texturizing spray that really gives volume.▶ 36:37–36:42
You can use it at the root. You can use it on the lower ends of the hair to really beef up the hair and make it look more thick and full.▶ 36:43–36:46
It does not leave a residue. And it does not have that like powdery gritty feeling in the hair.▶ 36:48–36:50
Your hair will still feel silky and smooth.▶ 36:54–36:55

Kind of like a little sun-kissed color.▶ 14:26–14:32
I always take it on a brush and kind of put it on the top of the forehead. Pat it in.▶ 14:30–14:34
This is like a really good way to kind of replicate that you've actually been in the sun.▶ 14:34–14:40
You just put a little bit of pink right on the top of the forehead.▶ 14:40–14:43
You kind of want to think about like where the sun would naturally give you a little bit of pink on the skin and then just on the apples of the cheeks.▶ 14:43–14:48

this brush can be used for blush, bronzer, and setting powder and highlight
it is going to just caress the face so beautifully▶ 25:35–25:39
it always gives you an airbrushed effect with your makeup
it is nice and small and manageable so it doesn't control the face with too much product on too large of an area on the base▶ 25:42–25:54

You've got a dense fan shaped brush on one end and then a blender on the other.▶ 27:02–27:05
You can use this for eyeshadow as well.▶ 27:07–27:09
With the fan side to kind of like do your contouring work and because it comes to that angle, you can really flick the contour up into the brow naturally so that you get that nice gradient blend between the nose contour and the brow.▶ 27:10–27:16
You have your little blending brush to just soften out the lines and make it look a little bit less harsh.▶ 27:28–27:31

You've got a dense angle brush on one end so really great for cream and liquid products specifically think cream bronzer cream blush cream highlight tinted moisturizers foundations.▶ 27:37–27:40
You can use this side to really buff and blend the product into the skin super soft so really nice doesn't leave any streaks.▶ 27:47–27:55
You've got a wand ball powder on the other end, which is my favorite shape of face brush.▶ 27:55–27:59
They always give you again that really nice airbrushed kiss of product on the face.▶ 28:00–28:08
It's not dense enough to where it's going to pick up too much product where then the powder is going to cling and lay down on certain areas of the face a little bit more dramatically.▶ 28:08–28:13

I do think that this would fit the bill for most people for a simple eyeshadow look for day to day.▶ 28:52–28:56
You can use the flat shadow brush to pat color onto the lid and because it comes to that pointed taper it's also good for detail work.▶ 28:56–29:06

foundation brush · $36.00 · MAKEUP BY MARIO, Sephora, Sephora UK
This is a holy grail brush for me.▶ 29:11–29:20
I think that this applies everything beautifully.
You basically have a twin set of brushes. You have a larger tapered angle brush on one side and a smaller version of that same brush on the other end.▶ 29:23–29:25
I like to use the larger side for applying skin tints, tinted moisturizers, foundations, cream bronzer, cream blush, literally anything that is liquid applies beautifully.▶ 29:32–29:37
The smaller brush I use for more detailed work.▶ 29:44–29:46
It's just the perfect density where it's not too dense that it picks up so much product thus making the makeup application difficult and it's not so loose that you don't have the ability to pick up as much product as you want.▶ 29:51–29:55
Always gives a very beautifully blended effect.▶ 30:05–30:07

concealer brush · $30.00 · Patrick Ta Beauty, Cult Beauty
You have a dense angled kabuki style on one end and then a feathery tapered brush on the other end.▶ 26:10–26:17
What this is really nice for is pressing the concealer into the under eye and really getting that maximum press down of the coverage.▶ 26:17–26:23
With this side you can take that brush and really seamlessly blend the concealer edge just so that it meets the foundation.▶ 26:29–26:37
You get much more of a harmonious blend from this end.▶ 26:41–26:43
It's also really nice for setting the under eyes with powder.▶ 26:53–26:55

Foundation

skin tint · radiant · $49.00 · Sephora, Giorgio Armani
The Luminous Silk Skin Tint is exactly that. It's like the little sister of Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.▶ 7:40–7:44
It still has that gorgeous skin-like finish.▶ 7:57–8:01
When it sets down on the skin, it's not a radiant, dewy finish on the skin, but there are pearl pigments in here so that when you move your face and the light catches your face, you're going to have a little bit of that radiant bounce back without the skin looking dewy.▶ 8:01–8:02
I love the way this sets down.▶ 8:14–8:16
Most days when I'm wearing it, I don't even wear powder with it because within 5 to 10 minutes, it's really taken on its final form, and I feel like it just looks very skin-like, very softly powdered, but it does pair nicely with powder as well, so that's not an issue.▶ 8:16–8:24
The coverage is just a more toned-down version of Luminous Silk, And I feel like this is also a little bit easier to apply than luminous silk for day to day because it applies just as nicely with a brush as it does your fingertips.▶ 8:24–8:35
It's kind of like a serum skin tint. So it's not like a tinted moisturizer. I just I like the formula a lot more.▶ 8:35–8:47
It's not too sticky or heavy.

Setting Powder

setting powder · natural · $14.00–$19.99 · Alcone Company, Naimies, RCMA Makeup
We are setting all of these foundation demos down with a triangular puff and the RCMA no color powder.▶ 1:25–1:31
This is a great powder because it doesn't skew the finish of the makeup.▶ 1:36–1:42
It doesn't change the color of the foundation and concealer.▶ 1:42–1:46
It just mattifies the skin without having any luminous pearl pigments to it or a significant amount of brightness to the skin.▶ 1:46–1:51
It's just mattifying and kind of showing you what these products will take on as a final form once they've been set with powder.▶ 1:53–2:00
When you use the RCMA powder, it's going to have a little bit more life to it.▶ 22:14–22:20
The RCMA will mattify, but it's not going to completely take away the skin care that you're wearing.▶ 22:20–22:25

setting powder · matte · $60.00 · Givenchy Beauty, Sephora UK
I love the shade number three.▶ 20:08–20:10
It's a really beautiful light brightening shade.▶ 20:13–20:16
This is a pink powder, but on my skin tone, it doesn't show up pink it just brightens and really gives a nice soft airbrushed effect to the skin.▶ 20:20–20:26
I mean I'm very well worked into the pan at this point so you can tell I really love this powder and when I use it I take it on a puff and just swirl and use all the shades at once.▶ 20:26–20:31
I love it underneath the eyes and the center of the forehead around the mouth and on the sides of the nose.▶ 20:31–20:40
I think it just really adds that extra dimension to the skin.

setting powder · matte · $60.00 · Givenchy Beauty, Sephora UK
I like to take it on a triangular puff. And just swirl into all three.▶ 15:29–15:36
You can tell this is like very clearly well loved.▶ 15:34–15:38
What I really like number three for is highlighting.▶ 15:43–15:50
I take it on the sides of the nose outward. It really helps keep all that dimension in the base, especially cuz we did so much with the cream contour and the highlight.▶ 15:50–15:55
I still really like the loose version of this as well.▶ 16:07–16:11
I just feel like that the pressed version is more makeup bag friendly.▶ 16:09–16:14
It's easier to keep in your makeup bag cuz it's not quite as big and chunky▶ 16:12–16:16

Styling Product

My favorite gel that I have ever found.▶ 32:31–32:34
I don't think you could top this gel specifically for the fact that it brushes away at the end of the day.▶ 32:36–32:42
You can brush it away at the end of the day. Truly I thought that was a gimmick.
It has enough hold to it, strength enough hold to keep the hair in place, give you that nice sleek slick back.
When you want to run a brush through it, it would just break that gel up really nicely.
It's really nice for slick backs and sleek looks, but it's also really nice for flyaways.
I love how this doesn't feel like gloop and glop in my hair.▶ 34:07–34:10
This would be my top gel styling recommendation.

Setting Spray

setting spray · matte · $39.00 · Charlotte Tilbury, Sephora, John Lewis
I like this more than the original charlotte tilbury setting spray now this is the matte version.▶ 23:00–23:04
I think it gives a really nice soft focus blur because I don't really use the original charlotte tilbury anymore because if i'm going to use something that i want to kind of like negate powderiness i'm going to use the iconic london because that's my favorite.▶ 23:04–23:12
If you want something that's going to give more of a soft focus blur to the skin this is the one you'd want to get it just sets down everything and takes away the powdery look but also like perfects the look of powder.▶ 23:12–23:21
I would recommend this over the original so if you want matt you go with the charlotte tilbury if you want dewey glow you go with the iconic london.▶ 23:28–23:31
