Here is each product I have been using lately in the order I put it on my face:
I have been using this for most of the year not (not daily, but for sure almost every day) and at first I didn’t think I noticed a difference, but I for sure have noticed a difference after a couple months.
Dr. Jarts Color Correcting Treatment
I have been looking for a product to help with my red cheeks for a very long time that didn’t make my face look grey when I added my make up on top of this. When this color correcting treatment gets worked into the skin, it turns light tan.
I know there are several other concealers out on the market, and I’m not saying this is the best by any means, but I will say it does it’s job. Especially for the price.
This is the only setting powder I’ve ever used, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but again, it does it’s job.
I like any product that makes me feel like my make up process is faster and this foundation stick does that for me. I do think there are other foundations that look smoother, but I think convenience outweighs that.
Pixi Bronzer Stick – Soft Glow
This product makes my make up process so much faster. I also love that it has a shimmery finish so it makes my make up look glowy and dewy. The one drawback, in my opinion, is I don’t think this is a very tone-inclusive product. Right now there are only four shades, and I am hoping they aim to create darker shades.
I have had this bronzer for a while now, and it has a pretty good pigment. I barely have any on my brush and it always transfers so well.
Pixi Blush Stick – Juicy
This is my absolute favorite product right now. It makes putting on blush so easy. I also feel like it has a pretty good pigment, and it gives me a peachy glow.
I’ve had so many people ask me about this highlighter stick. The packaging looks different than mine, but I think it’s the same product. It has a great shimmer and goes on so well. I use my hands to blend it and I feel like it’s pretty blend-able.
When I tell you people love my eyebrows, I’m not exaggerating. The thing I get complimented on the most is my eyebrows. And I have this gel to thank.
I use this to apply my eye gel, but you can get a spoolie anywhere.
I used to not think these worked, but it’s the combination of an eyelash curler and the mascara I have listed below that makes my eyelashes look so so good. This is also not the same as mine, but I linked it because it comes with extra eye lash pads, and was well-priced.
One of my eyelashes grew straight out. It is so strange and has always given me the hardest time with mascara. I’ve tried so many different mascaras, and nothing has ever worked. The only thing that keeps them curled all day long, is the combo of an eyelash curler and this mascara. It’s a game changer! And so inexpensive.
Maybelline Super Stay Ink Crayon – Enjoy the View, Stop at Nothing, Hustle in Heels
I use an Ink Crayon so much. It’s my go to lip stick. The shade I wear almost weekly, is Enjoy the View. I think I’m going to get Stop at Nothing for a light peachy color, that’s what I recommend for a summer peachy look.
I don’t use this exact setting spray, but I do a dewy setting spray and that finalizes the glowy look.
