Everyday Beauty Essentials | Foundation/Tinted Moisturizer
I prefer a CC cream or tinted moisturizer over a foundation so I use Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, IT Cosmetics CC cream or Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter.
Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer is light coverage but evens out my skin tone. Easy to apply and blends well. There are two versions of the tinted moisturizer and I use both including this one.
IT Cosmetics CC cream is full coverage and 50 SPF which I love in the summer, but the coverage is a little much for me. Pro tip: mix it half and half with moisturizer. The color stays the same and lighter coverage!
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter is super dewy and light complexion booster. You can wear this as a primer underneath a tinted moisturizer or on its own for super light, dewy coverage. Love this product. When I need a pick me up half way through the day, I dab some underneath my eyes to brighten it back up. Super versatile.
Everyday Beauty Essentials | What I Rebuy the Most
Ilia multi stick in At Last which is a rosy, universally flattering tone. Super easy to apply and I always use it on my cheeks and my dab some around my forehead line for contour, smear on eyelids for a little pop of color or even dab on my lips for a barely there lip color.
Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme is something I use everyday. It smooths out my lips and makes them look more plump and youthful. I can wear it a lone or wear it underneath lip color.
Hoola matte bronzer is the perfect bronzer to use everyday. No shimmer and the brush that it comes it with is easy to use to contour the cheeks. I buy this one over and over and over again!
Body and Skin Everyday Essentials
For my body and skin moisturizers, I love the bum bum cream, Kiehl’s and Summer Fridays products.
The Brazilian Bum Bum Cream has an intoxicating smell which is what originally sold me in the store two years ago when I purchased it for a vacation. It has the slightest, most subtle shimmer that is very flattering on legs and arms! I use it especially in the summer when I’m wearing dresses or shorts and even buy the travel size on repeat because I need to have it with me at all times.
The Kiehl’s ultra face cream is your everyday go to cream. I use it with the CC cream to lessen the coverage, use it to mix my self tan oil drops and use on its own in the morning to moisturize my face.
Summer Fridays Jet Lag mask is great for hydrating super dry skin like mine. I don’t use it like a mask where I apply and take it of–I apply a thin layer at night at least once a week and let it completely soak into my skin overnight!
For sunless tanning at home, I highly recommend Tan Luxe facial drops and gradual tan lotion. Both give beautiful color and easy to apply.
