CLICK TO SHOP MY EVERYDAY FAVORITES:
Hi friends, TGIF!! Today’s blog post is something I don’t typically share (makeup, because I’m no expert), but what I do know is my tried and true makeup products that REALLY work that I’ve been using for years!

Alright, let’s get to the details:
- Smashbox Photofinish Primer: I’ve been using this for years and nothing else compares! This primer goes on after your moisturizer and right before your makeup and it minimizes your pores like no other and allows your makeup to apply so smooth and seamless. This is an everyday makeup must!
- It Cosmetics CC Cream: I use this as my everyday foundation! It has great SPF coverage, the makeup coverage is amazing and covers up everything I need without feeling heavy, and it even has anti-aging skincare within the product! It’s perfect for all skin types: dry, oily, normal, etc. I wear the color “Light Medium” right now.
- Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer: This is my most recent makeup find and I’m HOOKED! It’s so good for covering dark circles under your eyes in the most smooth, non-creasing way possible. It’s a long lasting, full coverage concealer that has been everything I’ve needed and more! I wear shade “3”, definitely try it out.
- Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder: I’ve been using this product for years and nothing will ever be the same! It’s a lightweight, loose powder that helps blend your makeup in and sets it for 12+ hours! Make sure you use a damp beauty blender for your concelear (above) and this setting powder- I found the highest quality beauty blenders for the best price on Amazon (5 for only $9)!
- It Cosmetics Airbrush Perfecting Powder: I use this over my foundation as a finishing powder that’s light enough yet it has more SPF 50 in it! It doesn’t feel cakey at all, yet gives you soft looking skin!
- Nars Blush/Bronzer Duo: This is THE most popular blush and bronzer duo on the market and it gives all skin types and colors the perfect sun-kissed glow! Trust me!!
- Laneige Lip Mask: This leave on “lip mask” soothes your lips like nothing else I’ve tried. It keeps your lips moisturized for hours, and I apply it every night before bed!
- St. Tropez Self Tanner: I literally LIVE for this product! I use it twice a week to self-tan since I avoid the sun at all costs because of my skin cancer. It really is so easy to apply (see my full blog post here) and gives you the best color without being streaky.
- Tan Luxe Drops: These face self-tanning drops are a hot commodity and always sell out so quickly because they’re so good! I put about 3 drops in my moisturizer every couple nights and it leaves my face looking “glowy” without causing breakouts.
- Benefit Brow Gel: This is something that I use daily! I wear the color “taupe” and it instantly tames my brow hairs while also giving them some great color. It really helps my brows stand out and totally frames my face!
This is also a great time to try out new products you’ve had your eye on or you’ve heard about for a fraction of the price! I’ve heard SO many amazing things about this Hollywood Flawless Filter (it’s supposed to look like your skin is extra smooth + glowy just like an Instagram filter) so I purchased it ASAP in shade “3”! I’ve also been in the market for a new EASY (one-step) eyeshadow routine and keep seeing these Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow sticks everywhere- so I purchased “sand dune”! I’ll keep you posted on what I think 😉
What are your tried and true makeup products you can’t live without!? It’s definitely time to stock up while the sale is still going on, but hurry, things may sell out! XO
