SAIE | Slip Tint Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 - Two

SAIE | Slip Tint Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 - Two

Try this for a layer of sheer coverage in lieu of your Mercier Tinted. The lightest shade (1) could work as well but since these are so sheer I like the No. 2 to give you a hint more warmth. Apply starting in center of face and blending out with fingers. Finish, if you wish, by bouncing over the top with a damp beauty blender to erase any hard edges for a seamless finish.

MERIT | The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick Foundation - Silk

MERIT | The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Stick Foundation - Silk

Apply this in the center of face straight from the bullet, focusing in particular on areas that have redness or discoloration. I like it over freshly moisturized and sunscreen-ed skin. It would also work nicely over the Saie Tinted when you want even more flawless coverage. Try buffing it out with the brush I’ll list below. Finish with a damp Beautyblender if desired or simply pat in with fingertips until it disappears into the skin. If you get more color you’d wear the shade Linen. With stick foundations I tend to like having 2 shades so that I can customize the coverage to my skin and create more realistic looking depth (use Silk in center of face and Linen on forehead) but if that’s too complicated stick with Silk. You can get away with it especially because your NARS Laguna should help bring back the depth enough.

MERIT | Brush No. 1 Tapered Blending Brush

MERIT | Brush No. 1 Tapered Blending Brush

Use circular motions to buff the foundation into the skin. Clean this brush every month or so with the solid cleanser I’ll link below- same product with which you clean your Beautyblender.

MAKEUP BY MARIO | Softsculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer - Light Medium

MAKEUP BY MARIO | Softsculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer - Light Medium

This is your day eyesahadow (applied with fingertips or fluffy synthetic brush). It’s also fantastic as a contour or over your NARS Laguna as a luminous bronzer. Use the Saie brush I’ll link below

SAIE | The Big Brush

SAIE | The Big Brush

Use this guy to apply your Mario cream bronzer buffing it in circular motions onto temples, across forehead, across cheeks and nose and anywhere else the sun would hit.

KULFI BEAUTY | Main Match Crease-Proof Long-Wear Hydrating Concealer - Ice Ice Berry (Light W/ Neutral Undertones

This is your NARS undereye Concealer upgraded. Apply in the half moon shape where you see the most shadowing and blend gently in light patting motions with your ring finger. Set with a sheer powder if you wish like the one I’ll list below.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY | Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder - Fair

I buy the mini size of this for travel. I’ll list a nice brush I like to use for it - I like a tapered shape so that I can control placement to the t-zone and leave the shine on cheeks and down the center of nose for the most realistic finish

CHARLOTTE TILBURY | Powder & Sculpt Brush

This is a great size and shape for applying powder

Sheer Tinted Brow Gel in Medium Brown

Final step in your makeup routine for adding a groomed look to brows. Backcombing then going forwards with the direction of hair growth gives an even more full look

MERIT | Flush Balm Cream Blush - Beverly Hills

Simply stamp onto the pillowy part of cheeks just below Iris and pat to blend in small upwards circles. The shade cheeky is also beautiful - it’s slightly deeper but still cool so it adds that flushed look. Stockholm is a paler pink that’s fun with a deeper eye look but your everyday go-to will be Beverly Hills. If you’ve applied too much to your liking, simply bounce over the top with your damp Beautyblender containing your tinted moisturizer or your foundation brush loaded with Merit foundation.

TOWER 28 | JuiceBalm Vegan Tinted Lip Balm - Shake

This is the lip color we applied that you loved. I’ll list another one below from Bobbi Brown I think you will like.

BOBBI BROWN | Extra Lip Tint Oil-Infused Balm - Bare Raspberry

Also try Bare Punch. Remember how the sheerness of these colors helps your natural lip tone peek through which is what makes them so effortless looking and flattering.

TOWER 28 | Oneliner Multi-Liner - Fill Me In

This is the lip pencil we liked on you. May be applied over or under balm/ lipstick. Remember how we rounder the upper outer corners up slightly and took the lower corners in (slightly above the actual lip line) to create a happier, lifted shape

KJAER WEIS | Eye Pencil in Bright

Love this eye brightening pencil in the lower waterline. Remember how we also lined the top lashline with it to make lashes pop- that’s another fun option. I even line around my lips with it and pat to blend with a brush or fingertips to keep lipgloss from migrating and give lips a more polished look.

VICTORIA BECKHAM BEAUTY | Satin Kajal Liner - Cinnamon With Sharpener

This is the shimmering brown eyeliner we used. I was thinking though this may be the product that ran slightly on you so try putting a little bit of your Charlotte powder over top to set it (without having to switch to a waterproof liner that is trickier to remove). The charcoal shade (ASH) is also nice for you as an alternative to the fig.

TATCHA | The Camellia Cleansing Oil Makeup Remover

This is another nice option for makeup removal. I like to apply to dry face with dry hands and really work into the lashes to remove product then simply rinse away with water. You may also follow with your cetaphil Cleanser if you wish.

BOBBI BROWN | Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick - Dusty Mauve

We loved a thin layer of this on your lids from lashline to crease- great for upping the drama from day to night but also wearable enough for the office

WESTMAN ATELIER | Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm - Ma Puce

This is a glossy version of your tower 28 chubby crayon. I love the texture because it is not sticky. The trade off is that it’s not super long lasting but I do like to keep one in my bag and use for touchups as you don’t even need a mirror.

MAKEUP BY MARIO | Master Pigment Pro Eyeliner Pencil - The Perfect Brown

This is a nice cool to neutral brown. It’s more waterproof than the Victoria Beckham but will come off with an oil based remover- remember to really hold the cotton pad saturated with your remover against lashes to do all the heavy lifting for you so you don’t have to tug. I also love the angled brush on the opposite end of this liner for smudging

RÈPHR | Brush 05

Excellent blush brush

RÈPHR | Brush 01 (pro Handle)

Great multi-use eyeshadow brush

RÈPHR | The Essentials Collection

Great value - includes 2 eyeshadow brushes, liner brush and blush/ bronzer brush

BEAUTYBLENDER | Solid Blendercleanser - Unscented

I like the unscented version rather than the lavender for your sensitive skin. Use for brushes and sponges. Use the scrubby mat to remove stubborn pigment lodged in brushes (a drop of olive oil mixed in also helps in a pinch). Run your soapy brush over it and then rinse in the palm of your hand til water runs clean. For brushes, be sure not to get the ferrule (metal part) wet as it can loosten the glue that holds the bristles together. I tend to use the palm of my hand as a cup/ bowl and only dip the bristles in as much as possible. Shake them off then dry and reshape bristles in a paper towel and lay flat off the edge of a table to dry (this way the air can really get to the hairs and bacteria doesn’t get trapped in them).
