My Daily Makeup Routine // Shop My Favorite Products

To anyone who has ever asked me what makeup products I use in my daily routine, here you go! This is absolutely everything I use from start to finish and I linked each product to make it easy for you to recreate my everyday look. Just click on the images above or the links below to shop. Feel free to reach out with any specific beauty questions or product recs!

Foundation: Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick in Ivory
I was recently introduced to this foundation and I instantly fell in love. It’s super easy to apply, looks extremely natural, and is a great travel option since there’s no chance of spilling.

Foundation Brush: Hourglass Vanish Foundation Brush
Brushes are oftentimes more important than the makeup products themselves. This is the brush recommended to apply the above Foundation Stick and it works beautifully.

Setting Powder: Becca Soft Light Blurring Setting Powder in Natural Finish
I put this blurring powder on after applying foundation and also as the last step of my makeup routine. It keeps my makeup in place and my skin shine-free all day. It also creates an almost flawless effect on your skin, like a real-life filter.

Powder Brush: Becca Soft Kabuki Brush
This is what I use to apply my blurring powder. It also works great to buff out any harsh contour lines.

Brow Filler: Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown
If I could have only one beauty product, it would be my Anastasia brow pomade. It’s highly pigmented and stays on all day.

Brow Brush: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brush #14
I love how this brush is dual purposed with an angled brush on one end and a spoolie on the other.

Eyelash Curler: Tweezerman Classic Lash Curler
I’ve tried many eyelash curlers and this is the only one that gives my lashes a lasting lift.

Eyeshadow: Lorac Cosmetics Unzipped Palette
This palette is the same brand as the one I use, with many of the same shadow colors. I think the one I have was limited edition so discontinued.  

Eyeshadow Brush: Sonia Kashuk Large Eyeshadow Makeup Brush
I generally only sweep a light layer of beige shadow on my eyelids, so I use this large tipped brush to apply all-over color.

Eyeliner: Clarins 3-Dot Liner Eyeliner
I wrote an entire blog post on this liner. It is AMAZING. The three pronged tip lets you get in between your lashes to create ultra thin and precise lines.

Mascara: CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Waterproof Mascara in Very Black
Make sure to get the waterproof version as the regular one does not work even half as well. The waterproof one; however, does wonders to my lashes.

Eye Brightener: Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector in Light to Medium
I use this in the corner of my eyes to add a little pop of highlight.

Bronzer: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in Chocolate - Medium to Deep
I love this bronzer as it’s very natural looking and matte. I’m not crazy about shimmer in my makeup.

Fan Contour and Highlight Brushes: Sonia Kashuk Fan Contouring and Fan Highlighting Brushes
I could only find a link for the set, but I use both fan brushes to contour and highlight. If I had the blush brush, I’m sure I would use it too.

Blush: Nars Blush in Torrid
This is my favorite blush color. It’s similar to Nars’ most popular Orgasm shade, but minus the shimmer.

Contour Brush: Sephora Collection Pro Contour Brush #79
I use this for a more defined contour and also to apply blush. I have many actual blush brushes, but I apply so little that I don’t usually bother to take one out.

Highlighter: Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in Opal
I’m a highlighter addict and no one does glow products better than Becca. See above for the fan brush I use to apply.

Liquid Lipstick: Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lip Color in Lover
I have never been so obsessed with anything. This lipstick stays on from morning to night, doesn’t budge when you eat or drink, and is less than $8. The brush is also precise enough that I don’t need to use liner. I get messages from people all the time thanking me for this rec, so you’re welcome in advance.

Lip Liner: Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Crushed Berry
When I’m not wearing my favorite liquid lipstick, I’m wearing this fuschia lip liner all over my lips. I find it stays better than using regular lipstick.

Concealer: Amazing Cosmetics A Little Amazing Concealer in Fair Golden
I don’t generally wear concealer, but when I do, I swear by this stuff. It’s thick enough to fully cover any blemishes and has great staying power.
