I'm always sharing different beauty products, trying new things, and switching up my routine depending on the day. But truthfully, my everyday makeup routine is actually pretty simple—and a lot of the time, I'm either wearing very little makeup or none at all.
That being said, there are a handful of products that have earned permanent residency in my makeup bag. The ones I reach for over and over again. The ones I pack for every trip, throw in my purse, and repurchase without thinking.
These are the products I genuinely use and love—the ones that have stolen my heart for years and ones that are recent finds I have fallen for. So if you've ever wondered what's actually a staple in my makeup bag, here are the top 10 makeup products I can't live without!
In no certain order!!
-
Chanel Ultra Le Teint Le Correcteur - Ultrawear All-Day Comfort Flawless Finish Concealer
This is a recent find that Chanel Beauty launched this year. I always love a natural makeup look, especially when it comes to my base. I have zero complaints about this product. It has amazing coverage, actually lasts all day, and the best part—it does NOT crease. Almost impossible to find in a concealer. I wear the shade BR32.
-
Chanel Les Beiges Helathy Glow Bronzing Cream.
This product I've been using for almost 10 years at this point. I remember randomly buying it one day, and I'm so happy I did. This is the perfect cream bronzer in my opinion. It glides on perfectly, is easy to blend, can create a natural vibe, or you can easily build it up. I wear the shade Tan Bronze.
-
Laura Mercier Setting Powder
I've been using this product since I was young and competing in dance competitions. The reason I ever started using it is because it was what my mom always used! Shoutout to Missy for discovering this amazing product. I always use the Translucent color, but they recently came out with a color-correcting peach shade for setting under the eyes. I use this every time I do my makeup. It's literally muscle memory at this point. This product lasts all day for me and also does NOT crease.
-
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
I discovered this product from a makeup artist during my dance days when I was 15. It is still, to this day, my go-to foundation. I'm usually not wearing foundation because it helps me avoid unwanted acne, but if I were to wear foundation, this is the one. It's long-lasting (side note: this lasted me through full days of dance competitions and working events—it works). It has light coverage, does NOT crease, and is easy to build up for more coverage. I range from shades 4–5.5 depending on my current tan.
-
Refy Mascara
This was a recent find of mine last year. I love a natural look and cannot stand when my mascara looks clumpy. All I have to say is this is the perfect mascara. Literally no faults. It doesn't flake or fall throughout the day and is easy to keep natural or build up. I love using both the brown and black shades depending on the look and vibe for the day.
-
NARS Blush shade ORGASM X
This was the first blush I ever used in my life. My mom bought this for me the first time she ever took me to Sephora, and I have not stopped wearing it since. A true staple for me. I don't think I even need to explain this one further.
-
Tarte Double Take Eyeliner
This is a dual-sided eyeliner. One side is liquid and the other is pencil. This is the one eyeliner I have found that DOES NOT BUDGE. It's my go-to eyeliner, no question. I usually use the brown shade because I find it more flattering on myself than black eyeliner.
-
Hermes Blush
I found this product a couple of years ago. Actually, my mom did and encouraged me to buy it. This is a matte blush with no shimmer—perfect for a natural everyday look. My favorite shade is Rose Nuit.
-
Hourglass Brow Volumizing Fiber Gel
Random fact about my eyebrows: I have never professionally had my eyebrows done. They simply have never grown too crazy or needed much taming. (I wish though, lol.) This is a tinted brow gel that I swear keeps my brows in place all day and definitely adds volume, which is the main reason I love this product. I wear the shade Soft Brunette.
-
Chanel La Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue Gloss
Again, this is a product I stole from my mom's makeup drawer when I was little and immediately fell in love with. I still use this product every day. It's a dual product, with one side being matte and the other gloss. This is such a long-lasting product and is perfect for both a natural look or a night out. My favorite go-to shades are Pink Nude, Caramel Beige, Coral Pink, and Intense Nude.
First of all, I'd like to thank my mom for having impeccable taste and unknowingly supplying half of my beauty recommendations over the years. Some of these products are things I used to sneak out of her makeup bag when I was younger, and somehow years later, I'm still using them. So shoutout to having a really cool mom.
Anyway, these are the products that have stood the test of time for me. Don't get me wrong—I love trying new launches and testing new products (it's one of my favorite things to do), but these are the ones I always find myself coming back to.
Will I discover a new favorite tomorrow? Maybe. But for now, these are my holy grails, and I don't see them leaving my makeup bag anytime soon.
