Do you ever find those products that you just can’t live without and never see yourself stop using? Well…. I finally feel like I have all of my HOLY GRAIL makeup products in every category, and I’m so excited to share them with y’all! This is not to say there aren’t other products that I don’t use and love, but these are just my TOP, CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT products that I will repurchase over and over again. If you want to see a tutorial of me actually using them, head over to my Instagram HERE and watch my IGTV video!

Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer: this primer will make your makeup last ALL day. It has a sticky finish, which really gives your foundation something to hold onto. It also gives your skin a really pretty glow.
Beakey Beauty Sponge: the best Beauty Blender dupe I have found! They are SO inexpensive (around $9 for 5) and on Amazon Prime!
Milani Conceal + Perfect Foundation: hands down my favorite drug store foundation. It has great coverage, a little goes a long way, it’s very easy to blend, and it gives your skin a natural, dewy finish. If you have oily skin, you may have to set it with powder, but I still think it would work for you!
Milani Conceal + Perfect Concealer: I am SHOOK that this concealer is drug store. This is better than most concealers I’ve ever tried…. and I’ve tried A LOT. It has great coverage, doesn’t crease, and lasts all day.
Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder: this powder is always the one I grab for the most when setting my concealer. It’s lightweight, not too drying (like some setting powders can be), lasts FOREVER, and makes my under-eyes so smooth and prevents my concealer from creasing.
Jaclyn Hill Palette by Morphe: I think this is the most versatile palette in my collection. You can do every day eye shadow looks, colorful looks, and/or dramatic looks. And all of the shadows are so pigmented and blend out so easily. This is hands down my go-to eye shadow palette!
Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner: I recently discovered this eyeliner and it has quickly become my favorite! It applies to smoothly without me having to pull or tug on the skin around my eyes. It’s very dark and pigmented and it’s easy to smudge out. It also doesn’t move and lasts ALL DAY!
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer: I just hit pan on this and I’m so sad lol. But I will quickly be running to Sephora to buy another one because I can’t live without it! It provides the prettiest “just-out-of-the-sun” bronze to the skin and gives you the perfect amount of glow (but not shimmer). I am in the shade Radiant Bronze Light.
Milani Baked Blush (shade Luminoso): I have been using this blush for so many years and I have yet to find one that beats it. It adds the prettiest flush of pink to the cheeks while also giving your skin a really pretty natural glow. I think this shade would look so good on any skin tone!
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder: Y’all….. I cannot stress enough how great this product is. I apply this all over my face after I apply bronzer and blush and it just gives my skin the most beautiful “glow from within” highlight. It makes my skin look so healthy and radiant. I always get compliments on my skin when I wear it. It is worth EVERY PENNY. I am in the shade Euphoric Strobe Light.
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector (in “Champagne Pop”): all I have to say about this is that it’s the best highlighter of ALL TIME. I don’t wear this every day because it is a pretty intense highlight, but when I want to glow to the Gods, this is what I grab for.
IT Cosmetics Brow Power Pencil (only comes in one shade): I used to be a die hard Anastasia brow product girl, but since I’ve found this, I have been converted. I love this product because it provides a very natural finish to my brows and doesn’t make them look so dramatic. If you like a more dramatic brow, then you probably won’t like this, but I love a good natural brow, so this one has been my BFF.
Anastasia Brow Gel: I brush this through my brows after I’ve filled them in and it keeps them in place ALL DAY. The best brow gel I’ve ever used!
Morphe Setting Spray: cannot do my makeup without this! It locks my makeup in place and it lasts all day long. It also provides a really pretty glow to my skin and makes it look so healthy and hydrated. It really helps to melt all the products into my skin so that they all blend together.
Loreal Lash Primer: I apply two big coats of this before I apply mascara and it is such a game changer! It gives the mascara something to hold onto so my lashes look even fuller and longer. Pro tip: let the primer get a bit tacky by drying just a bit before applying your mascara.
Loreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara: I have gone through more bottles of this than I can count. I love trying new mascaras just to see what else is out there, but nothing compares to this for me. I pack on two big layers of this and my lashes just look so long and full. It doesn’t get clumpy, flakey, or dry out and it’s very very buildable. I am a mascara freak lol so I really pack it on, and it never gets gross and clumpy on my lashes. It’s the perfect formula!
Fenty Gloss Bomb (in “Fenty Glow”): the most perfect gloss ever! It has the perfect amount of shine and this shade looks good on every skin tone.
