MAKEUP FAVES.
I love a really fresh, dewy, sun-kissed no-makeup make-up look. I’ve rounded up some of my faves for you!
SKIN CARE FAVES
CLEANSER | Bloom or ART
TREATMENT | Vitamin C serum, Triple-Hydra Complex Hyaluronic acid serum
MOISTURIZER | Bloom Cream for daytime, CBD Beauty Boost for nighttime
EYE CREAM | Wolfberry eye cream
EXFOLIATOR | Satin Mint Facial Scrub (weekly!)
SKIN PREP & FOUNDATION
TULA FILTER PRIMER | I wear this daily whether I am wearing makeup or not! (First Light or Luna)
TULA ULTIMATE SKIN SERUM | I wear spf 50 on my face when I am in the sun all day or on vacay.
ILIA BRIGHTENING EYE PRIMER | Under eye and lid primer with healing aloe, de-puffing arnica and rejuvenating rose hip
ILIA LIQUID LIGHT SERUM HIGHLIGHTER | I mix a pump of this with my foundation for a glow. I wear the shade “Nova”
JONES ROAD FOUNDATION | This is velvety, almost mousse-like, and goes on sooo smooth. (Fair)
HOURGLASS CONCEALER | I like this stick formula, it goes on very silky and lasts a long time. Sadly, I can’t find it in stock so I just ordered this Ilia concealer to try! (UPDATE: I switched to the Tula Radiant Skin concealer and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. It is a medium coverage and beautiful.)
TULA SIGNATURE GLOW REFRESHING MIST | I use this to finish off my makeup! It hydrates & protects from the damaging effects of blue light & pollutants, and has hyaluronic-acid.
I’ve actually been using a lot of Merit makeup recently. I tried it back when it first launched and didn’t love it, but recently ordered it again. I got the Full Collection, basically one of everything, and shocker - I LOVE IT. The only thing I DO NOT like and I don’t see what all the hype is about is the Minimalist foundation stick. Not a fan at allllll. But the rest is sooo good. (EDIT: i actually love and use the Minimialist stick now but to cover any redness on my cheeks, and the key is using their glow primer first, or the Tula primer first! So i think I didn’t like it bc I wasn’t using it right 🤪)
BRONZER & BLUSH
CHANEL BRONZING CREAM | This bronzer is my FAVVVE. It lasts forever and just looks so natural.
MERIT BRONZER | I love this. I actually use it more than the Chanel one now. The shape of the stick works really well, and it goes on very smooth, and is easy to blend. (Clay and Siene)
ILIA MULTI STICK | I use this on my cheeks, lips, and eye lids. It is wonderful! At Last is my fave color but I have a few!
BEAUTY COUNTER CHEEKY CREAM BLUSH | This is what I am using most right now since it’s spring heading into summer! (Nectar)
MERIT FLUSH BALM | I just got this and am loving it so much. (Stockholm)
JONES ROAD MIRACLE BALM | This gives more of a balmy, very. very dewy look. I love it for the beach, or really hot days. (Flushed)
NOBLETASK HOMESTEAD | Tallow lip and cheek balms are sooo wonderful. I love them and love that they are nourishing and safe. Mila and I share these! (ANNIE10 for 10% off!)
EYES
I have lash extensions and my brows are microbladed, so I do very very little! If I am really doing my makeup, like going to dinner or have an event or photos, I do a winged liquid liner. Other than that, I just dab my bronzer and blush on my lids!
ILIA LIQUID LINER | the best for the perfect line!
BEAUTY COUNTER BROW GEL | This gives my brow hairs just a little shape
NARS BROW PERFECTOR PENCIL | I use this sometimes if I need to fill in a spot or two
TULA ROSE GLOW & GET IT | THE MVP product for tired eyes. Brightens, depuffs, adds some glow - I swipe this under my entire under eye area!
MERIT BROW 1980 | I’ve swapped this out for the Beauty Counter Brow gel, it seems a little easier to use. (Brown)
MERIT EYESHADOW | I don’t wear shadow much but this Merit Solo Shadow (Studio) is soo pretty. It’s not a cream but not a powder - I can’t describe it but I have been using it daily! I use the Brush No. 2 with it.
MERIT CLEAN LASH | I don’t wear mascara unless my lash extensions are off, but I recently used the Merit mascara and I love the shape of the brush. Mila uses this a lot haha
LIPS
I am a lip balm junkie. Always on the search for my favorite. In a constant rotation, we have Aveda Lip Saver, Beauty Counter Clean Swipe Hyaluronic Balm, Ilia Lip Conditioner, & Young Living Lavender lip balm.
For a little color, I love Merit in “Baby”, Ilia Balmy Tint, Smackers Dr. Pepper lip balm (Yes, dead serious.), and Burt’s Bees Red Dahlia Lip Balm.
