My Everyday Makeup Routine
Today I’m sharing all my favorite products for my everyday makeup routine.
I wish I could attribute my skin’s ‘glow’ to my skincare routine, but the truth is that it’s all done with makeup! These products are how I achieve a natural(ish) makeup look, with lots of glow, and some subtle definition. I definitely prefer a more sheer and blended makeup look, so these products reflect that!

Base
I tend to skip fancy primers and go right in with foundation, concealer, and powder. If I’m not filming, I will skip foundation and just use concealer and powder.
- Foundation — Makeup Forever HD Skin Undetectable Longwear Foundation in 2Y20 (current fave), Georgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in 5.2
- Concealer — Dior Forever Skin Correct Full-Coverage Concealer in 215 (current fave), Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Multi-Use Concealer in 120
- Powder — Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking and Setting Powder in Banana Bread (current fave), Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder in Transluscent
Brows
My brows are very sparse and light (thanks to some regrettable over-plucking in high school!), so filling them in is essential. I’ve tried lots of expensive brow products, but this combo is my favorite.
- Brow pencil — NYX Micro Blade Pencil in Ash Brown
- Brow gel — Benefit 24-Hour Brow Setter in Clear
Eyes
I like to keep my eye looks simple, with some brown eyeshadow, a smudged brown eyeliner, and some mascara on the top lashes.
For mascara, I’m really picky because my lashes are stick straight and struggle to hold a curl! It’s also essential my mascara is easy to remove and won’t damage my lashes, which is why you won’t see any waterproof formulas on my list.
- Eyeshadow palette — Patrick Ta Major Dimension III Matte Eyeshadow Palette (current fave), Urban Decay Naked Mini Eyeshadow Palette in Sin, Tarte Tartelett In Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette
- Eyeliner — Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in Whiskey (current fave) or Demolition
- Mascara — Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara (current fave), Benefit Roller Lash Mascara, Chanel Le Volume de Chanel Mascara
Cheeks
For cheeks, I like a matte bronzer, a glowy blush, and sometimes some highlighter. I’ve listed some of my favorite powder and liquid blushes, but I only use one at a time.
- Powder blush — Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Diffused Heat, or any of the mineralized blushes from MAC
- Liquid blush — Saie Dew Blush Blendable Liquid Blush in Cutie
- Bronzer — Haus Labs Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer with Fermented Arnica in Medium Level 6 (current fave), Benefit Hoola Bronzer
- Highlighter — Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter in Exhilarate
Lips
I’m almost always wearing lip liner with a gloss or lip balm! For some reason, I just don’t love the look and feel of a full lipstick.
- Lip liner — Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in Mocha (current fave), Makeup Forever Artist Color Pencil Brow, Eye and Lip Liner in Wherever Walnut or Anywhere Caffeine, MAC Lip Pencil in Whirl
- Lip balm — Lawless Forget The Filler Overnight Lip Plumping Mask in Sweet Dreams (current fave), Aquafor
