NO MAKEUP, MAKEUP

NO MAKEUP, MAKEUP

SKIN

FACE WASH

This leaves my face clean, but not dry. It always feel moisturized and really fresh, and even skin-tone.

TONER I USE BEFORE BED

CRUELTY FREE. The first toner I’ve used that doesn’t sting my skin or leave it feel irritated.

TONER I USE IN THE MORNING

CRUELTY-FREE. This is one of the newest products I am using! I am OBSESSED with it. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and ‘awake.’ It combats environmental factors that can damage our skin (like pollution).

MOISTURIZER FOR THE MORNING

CRUELTY FREE. I recently started using this moisturizer after my husband fell in love with it. It encourages cell turnover which is great for combating fine lines and wrinkles!

CRUELTY FREE. If you have combination skin, you should try SUPERGOOP poreless primer with SPF 40! I am so obsessed with this product. It’s slightly tinted so it looks amazing by itself (beach day) or layered under foundation! I’ve been using this for 2 years.

CONCEALER

CRUELTY FREE PRODUCT: I love this non-toxic concealer! I tried a lot of different brands before settling on this. It has light-medium coverage, build-able, it doesn’t crease, and is long-lasting. I only put this under my eyes and on trouble or red spots.

BROWS

BROW GEL - THIS HAS CHANGED MY BROW GAME!

I actually got a sample size of this over the holidays and it has changed everything for me. I back-comb this BEFORE applying my brow pencil. My eyebrows look more feathery and natural. The key is to use this BEFORE the brow pencil.

BROW PENCIL

Love this because it’s build-able for natural brows and I loveeeeee the angled tip!

EYES

MASCARA

2 coats, always! Lots of volume + length, but also build-able! I’ve used this mascara for 3 years, and I’ve tried them all! This is the best - no clumps, it’s not sticky, will stay on all day.

EYELINER

I use my brow pencil for my eyeliner, too! I like products that have multiple end-uses. You save money and only have to keep up with a few things. It’s brown and will smudge if I want it to (I don’t like a harsh line), but will also be a solid line if that’s what I’m into. it will stay on alllll day, even through a workout.

EYE SHADOW PALLET

This is the ONLY eye-shadow pallet I use. Its the perfect balance of warm neutrals for everyday looks.

GO-TO LIPS + CHEEKS

CHEEK + LIP TINT

love this for long lasting + travel since it’s like a 2-in-1; I layer with with KOPARI coconut lip gloss love this for every day - especially events since it’s long-lasting.

OR

LIP TREATMENT + SUNSCREEN

in TULIP

ALSO OBSESSED WITH THIS LIP PLUMPER IN DOLLY

BRONZER

It’s matte with true brown undertones (not orange), and smells like chocolate!


My entire routine takes less than 6 minutes :) ENJOY!

WATCH ME PUT MY MAKEUP ON HERE :)
