Lately, I’ve been in such a groove with my makeup routine, and you know how rare that is—when everything just works together? I’ve found a mix of drugstore and high-end products that have been giving me a soft, glowy, pulled-together look without taking forever (or costing a fortune).
If you’ve been looking to refresh your makeup bag or just want some everyday product recs, here’s what I’ve been loving lately:
🧴 Primer
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer (Teal) – $10
This is such a solid base—sticky (in a good way), hydrating, and really helps my makeup grip all day without pilling or looking patchy. If you’re looking for something to keep your face in place while still feeling light, this is it.
💧 Base
Tarte Key Largo Glow Bronzing Drops – $35
I mix these with my BB cream, and WOW—it gives me the glowy skin of my dreams. Light coverage, dewy finish, and doesn’t feel heavy at all. Perfect for spring and summer.
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream – $7.99
This BB cream is lightweight, hydrating, and has SPF 30. It gives my skin a natural finish and pairs perfectly with the Tarte drops.
🫶 Concealer
Tarte Shape Tape Concealer – $32
She’s iconic for a reason. I use just a bit under the eyes and on any spots, and it blends like a dream with my damp beauty sponge.
🫶 Cream Products
Makeup Revolution Ultra Cream Bronzer – $8
Super blendable and buildable—this is one of my fave finds lately. Gives that soft sun-kissed warmth without looking orange.
Tarte Maneater Blush & Glow Cheek Plump – $29
The prettiest flush + highlight combo. I dab a little on the cheeks and sometimes even on the bridge of my nose for that sunkissed look.
🫶 Setting Powders
e.l.f. Halo Glow Setting Powder (Under Eyes) – $8
Lightweight and brightening—never looks cakey. It keeps my concealer in place without drying me out.
L’Oréal True Match Super-Blendable Powder (Rest of Face) – $9.98
Affordable and reliable. I use this lightly to set everything in place, especially in areas that tend to get oily.
🪄 Brows
Grande Cosmetics GrandeBROW-LAMINATE Brow Styling Gel – $22
This gel holds my brows up all day without flaking or getting crunchy.

e.l.f. Instant Lift Brow Pencil – $6
Easy to work with for filling in sparse spots.
✨ Face Glow
Morphe 8L Lo-Fi Sculpt & Shimmer Palette – $25
Not even sure of the exact name of the bronzer palette (it’s old!), but it works perfectly for my skin tone. I’ve been using it for bronzing and eyeshadow—love when a product can do both.
👁️ Eyes
Bronzer as Eyeshadow
I’ve been keeping it simple and using the same Morphe bronzer for my crease and lid. The tone matches so well with the rest of my makeup and gives a seamless look.
Pinky B Beauty Dat Gel Eyeliner Tho in Style (Brown Eyeliner) – $12
This liner glides on so easily and actually stays put. It’s giving main character energy.
Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara – $28
This mascara gives length and is smudge-proof.
Grande Cosmetics GrandeMASCARA – $25
This mascara adds volume and is conditioning.

💦 Setting Spray
Morphe Sunsetter Setting Spray SPF 30 – $18
For everyday dewy vibes. Light, refreshing, and keeps everything glowy.
L’Oréal Infallible 3 Second Mist Spray – $13
For when I need my makeup to last all day. This stuff LOCKS IT IN.
