Hi friends,
It's been a while since I've blogged about makeup and I miss it! With quarantine, I've really learned what products from my huge makeup collection I can't live without. Also, in the summer I prefer lighter coverage (let some of those freckles and imperfections shine through). I also love me some cream products though as my skin gets more mature, I'm moving towards them all year round That said, there are a few powders and powder products that make my heart happy. So below are my top products in every category.
Primer
Supergoop Glowscreen Sunscreen - I'm obsessed with this because not only does it hydrate, give you a beautiful glow and lay well under makeup, but it has an SPF of 40, which is essential for me. Gotta protect that skin!

Foundations/Skin Tints
(Note: my skin is dry so I like hydrating and glowy products)
1. YSL Touche - Eclat All in One Glow - This has been a ride or die for years and still going strong

2. Fenty Eaze Drops - Obsessed and the price is awesome
Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint — 8 | Fenty Beauty – Fenty Beauty + Fenty Skin
3. Pat McGrath Foundation - I'm also obsessed, but the price is not so awesome. If you're looking to splurge, its beautiful.

Concealer
1. Dior Skin Glow - This has quickly become my new fave. It has great coverage, it's hydrating, it's simply beautiful
Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer - Dior | Sephora
2. Makeup Forever Self Setting Concealer - Makeup forever just does makeup so right
Ultra HD Self-Setting Concealer - MAKE UP FOR EVER | Sephora
3, Pat McGrath
If you're looking for a full coverage concealer, this is the one. Although the coverage is amaze, it's super easy to blend and doesn't look/feel heavy or cakey.

Powder
1. Pat Mcgrath - This smooths and brightens and is so finely milled, you can't really tell you're wearing powder
Sublime Perfection Blurring Under-Eye Setting Powder - PAT McGRATH LABS | Sephora
2. Makeup Forever Powder Foundation - I love this to smooth and add some extra coverage
Matte Velvet Skin Blurring Powder Foundation - MAKE UP FOR EVER | Sephora
Bronzer/Contour
1. Huda Beauty Tantour - Such a grade shade and so easy to work with
Tantour Contour & Bronzer Cream - HUDA BEAUTY | Sephora
2. Lilah B - This bronzer is just everything
Bronzed Beauty™ Bronzer Duo - lilah b. | Sephora
Blushes
1. Melt Cosmetics Blushlights - These are so stunning, long lasting and pretty much perfection
Cream Blushlight - Melt Cosmetics | Sephora
2. Patrick Ta - This product is so versatile because you get a cream and a powder. You can wear them on their own or layer. This product was actually designed to layer the cream on top of the powder, which usually is a no no, but the result is gorge. Of course my fave shade is She's So La
Major Beauty Headlines - Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush - PATRICK TA | Sephora
3. Em Cosmetics Heaven's Glow Blushes - These are the only powder blushes I use these days. They are so glowy and pretty.

Mascara
Hourglass Caution - Still my ride or die. It's the only mascara that doesn't transfer on me and it does such a great job of lengthening and separating. It's the not the most volumizing tbh, but it does the job.
Caution™ Extreme Lash Mascara - Hourglass | Sephora
Highlight
As I've grown older, I like a much more subtle highlight.
1. Hourglass Strobe Lighting Palette - Gives such a nice glow. You can definitely build it up to make it more blinding, but it never looks crazy or glittery, it's that glow from within type of look
Ambient™ Metallic Strobe Lighting Palette | Hourglass Cosmetics
2. Em Cosmetics Moonbeam Cushion

Lips
I'm obsessed with Em Cosmetics can ya tell (not sponsored, I wish!) Their lip liners, lip cushions, clear gloss are just perfection.
I also really love Pat McGrath lip liners, lipsticks and glosses, but with all things Pat McGrath you may want to wait for a sale.

Eyeshadow Palettes
In summer I love peaches, pinks/purples and bronzes
1. Patrick Ta - This new palette is a neutral lovers dream. I love that he included two cream shadows to act as a base or a one and done.
