lotsss of beauty / make up questions and my sister (lyle) is the queen of all things make up — that being said I have learned from the best so here is a break down of my fav products, and whats currently in my makeup bag!
+ skincare: pretty mush just beauty counter cleansing balm. the only thing not pictured that reallllyyyy should be. its my *holy grail* … the product I quite literally cannot live without. I did just get a package in yesterday with 2 refills bc I hate when there is any period of time in between my jars. its clean, rated a 0 on the EWG skin deep database (if you dont know what that is, it just means its really good and not bad for us at all!) — and the best part is that I use it as my face wash and my moisturizer. yes, I was confused at first when I started using it, but trust me. you wash with it, dry your face, put on any serums (I use one and its the Claris double serum), then put a layer of the cleansing balm over it for such amazing hydration. yall will love it and I just saved you a million products + space in your makeup bag ! also was using the beauty counter melting balm that you can see in my bag here — amazing smell, also has very clean ingredients and is a balm for your body!
wow that was long I will keep the following explanations a bit more brief!
+ bronzer: love this one by Patrick ta bc my sister swears by it so we know its good. it has the cream bronzer + powder all in one and I love the shades
+ brushes: trust me, you need the hourglass brushes. they are double sided and I use the smaller one for the “liquids” aka the cream bronzer and cream blush and I use the bigger brush for the powders aka the powder bronzer and blush. they are the only ones ill use. and all you need it 2 brushes when you travel… genius!
+ cases: I also use this cute travel case that my friend Kennedy told me about — it keeps your brushes together and from getting stuff all on the inside of your makeup bag! they have lots of colors but I thought the brown was chic! and my makeup bag is this Louis Vuitton one and I am obsessed with it and how it looks on any bathroom counter!
+ blush: looooove blush. love looking sunburnt. nothing better in my opinion. i’ve got a love of blush in my line up but here are my current favs! the hourglass ambient is amazing and is the perfect finish to any look. it has a slight shimmer that I love. I also love Bobbi brown nectar and have since the 7th grade — the perfect sunburn if you ask me! next, love this saie beauty “baby” liquid blush, it is the best color and goes on so nice. and last but not least is my latest obsession: the jones road blush in flushed. idk what I did without it. its like a balm and looks so dewy and perfect on!
+ concealer: lovinggggg the YSL touche éclat brightening pen for concealer at the moment, my mom has used it for ages so you know its tried + true (and she says its good for “older women skin” just an fyi, hahaha she is picky these days!). I also love the kosas concealer, made know by mrs. Hailey Bieber — but let me tell you it does live up to the hype!
+ mascara: glossier is my faveee. I like mascara that “tubes” off and doesn’t run down your face to make you look like a scary movie if you know what I mean. so this is really the only one I use and its veryyyy natural!
+ brows: love the clear Anastasia brow gel. a classic. I get the mini one bc it lasts sooooo long.
+ lips: nothing beats laneige sleeping mask for an everyday all day gloss. its my emotion support gloss — I owe it everything. if I was stuck on a deserted island this would be with me (along with he cleansing balm I started with).
+ hair: love this brush so much, yes it lives up to the hype. I also love anything crown affair, especially their dry shampoo — its always in my makeup bag!
my best advice: keep it simple, and the cleaner the better !!! would love to hear yalls #1 recommended product in the group chat ! x

my desert island product: dibs glow tour stick (blush + bronzer duo) !!!
