My 11 Essential Makeup Products

You know those fun long road trip scenario games?…

Like if you were stranded on an island… what are three things you would bring with you??

That’s how I feel about these makeup must haves. These are my tried and true favorite products that I will ALWAYS have with me… don’t ask me to narrow it down any further! Lol.


1. Becca Luminous Concealer

It is light enough yet covers dark circles without getting cakey. This brightens and is my all time FAVE!!!! This product makes it look like I had a full 12 hours of sleep!

2. Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector

I use this one on days where I am really struggling in the under eye department…like the nights where Beckham is up every few hours. I will use this first for the correction, tap under my eyes with my ring finger and the apply the Becca luminous concealer over it!

3. Cle de Peau Concealer

(THIS IS MY NUMBER ONE FAVE, I wear the color ochre) I know this one is pricey, but it is worth EVERY SINGLE CENT! I cannot even put in words my love for this concealer. It covers my acne scarring, the redness around my nose, under my chin, even under my eyes, it is soft and creamy yet looks so natural. It is AMAZING!

4. MAC 188 brush

My go-to brush.

5. Eyelash Curler - Shiseido

OMG, it’s the best! Works for any kind of lashes and never lets me down!

6. Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade

(I wear medium brown) applied with the MAC 263 Brush. I’ve tried other brow products and I like them, but I LOVE this one. It is easy to use and stays all day.

7. Laura Geller Gilded Honey Highlighter

I feel like this highlight looks good on just about anyone. Some foundations I wear are matte because I want them to stay all day and I will just add a pop of this highlight on my cheekbones and nose and it instantly creates a dewy look.

8. Fenty Beauty Killowatt Highlight

This highlight makes me shine!!!

9. MAC Strobe Cream

ALL TIME fave glow cream!!! I put on right before I put foundation on.

10. Kat Von D Contour Palette

THIS IS EVERYTHING! (I use the light palette.)

11. Sonia Kashuk Brush

Not only do these work amazing, but I mean, just LOOK at them!
