My current go-to makeup routine with all of my new favorite products! FYI- I have combination skin but it tends to get oiler throughout the day in the T-zone (hello setting powder!).

MY CURRENT GO-TO GLOWY MAKEUP ROUTINE

Primer/One of my New Favorite Products:

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter - I wear shade 3. I use this as a primer under my foundation and guys, it leaves the most amazing glow. It can also be used on its own just for a little no-makeup glow, on top of your foundation as a highlighter, so many uses! I was a little skeptical because I have combo skin and I don’t need my skin to look any more oily, but this product is next-level amazing.

Foundation:

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation - I wear shade 4.5. So, we’ve all heard about this foundation and it turns out, it is one of the best foundations I’ve ever used. It’s totally buildable, but it really is your skin but better. Looks amazing in photos too!

Concealer:

IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Illumination Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer - I wear shade 10.5. I’ve been on a real big hunt for the perfect concealer that has enough coverage, brightens the underage, and doesn’t crease. A lot to ask for, right? Huge fan of this concealer! A little goes a long way though. I apply a tiny bit to the inner corner and outer corner and blend. Applying it to the outer corner instead of the usual triangle adds a lifting effect.

Setting Powder:

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder - I wear shades 1 & 2 depending on the area (I prefer lighter for under eyes) - I’ve been using this setting powders for years and it’s truly one of the best. A little pricy but worth it, in my opinion.

Bronzer:

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer - For the perfect glow! This bronzer is so dreamy. I discovered it when I had my makeup done a couple of years ago and have been obsessed with it since.

Benefit Cosmetics Hoola Bronzer - A cult favorite and a foolproof bronzer! Especially if you’re more of a matte person. It’s an OG for a reason.

Blush:

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick (clean beauty) - I currently wear the shade Petal. I need to preface by saying, I was not a cream blush girl before this product. Cream products simply just last so much longer. What I usually do is, I’ll apply this first and blend and then top it with a powdered blush if I wanted a more intense blush look. The powder sets the blush and it lasts so long.

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Collection - When you want a natural-looking, glowy blush. I love adding this to the top of my cream blush. It’s also totally buildable if worn alone.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush - A cult classic and another blush on rotation. So many colors to choose from and such a buildable blush. An award winner for a reason!

Highlighter:

Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter - Another mention of this bad boy because it’s so amazing and can be used as a highlighter as well. I prefer to use it under my foundation for an all-over-the-face glow. Obsessed is an understatement. I wear shade 3!

ILIA Liquid Light Serum Highlighter (clean beauty): I wear shade Nova. In addition to it being a natural-looking highlighter (my kinda highlighter), it acts as a serum and has so many benefits. It’s a gel consistency and completely buildable. Adds such a dewy, glowy look!

Eyeshadow:

Kosas 10-Second Liquid Eyeshadow (clean beauty) - I wear shade Globe (neutral champagne). Basically the only eyeshadow I’ve been wearing lately! It’s water-based, fast-drying, buildable, and literally takes 10 seconds to apply.

Eyeliner/Eyeshadow Method:

Too Faced Natural Eyes Eyeshadow Palette - Recently, I’ve been using brown eyeshadow as eyeliner. I find it creates a softer look compared to my typical go-to black eyeliner. I use the shade Sexspresso in this palette and love it! The rest of the palette is amazing too!

Lips:

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner - In shade Iconic Nude. When it comes to nude lips, I’m more of a brown shade girl. I don’t usually reach for the pink nudes. Although, if you do, Pillow Talk is a must! I love using this lip liner to shape my lips and also fill it in to create more of a full lip effect. Sometimes I top it with lipstick, sometimes I don’t. I usually just add a gloss or shiny balm (I’ll link below) on top and call it a day.

Tower 28 Beauty ShineOn Jelly Lip Gloss (clean beauty) - I wear shade Chill. I love the feel and look of this gloss! I’ll just apply it over my lipliner and/or lipstick.

LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm - One of my favorite hacks is to apply this over my lip color and it leaves the perfect shine AND moisturizes the lips so no dry lips happen.

Setting Spray:

Urban Decay All-Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray - A cult classic simply because it works SO well! Your makeup will last all day/night with this bad boy, truuuuust.

Brows:

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz - I’ve been using this brow product for years. It really allows you to have full control of the application. Which I love since I find some products come on too strong and I prefer a softer look for my brows since they’re already dark. Just needs a little filling and shaping, ya know?

Lashes:

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Lengthening Mascara - One of my go-tos! Has a great lengthening effect and really gives you a false eyelash look.

ILIA Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara (clean beauty) - I was actually in shock at how good this mascara worked as I haven’t been able to find a clean one I liked. It coats the lashes perfectly and leaves a dramatic look in a good way.
