I don’t typically wear makeup on a daily basis. Or rather- I should say I don’t typically wear makeup in my non-working life. I like to give my skin a break, since it can get a pretty heavy dose of makeup when I’m on set. But every so often, you need a little sprucing, and a natural, lightweight base is a great place to start! I hate anything heavy or a product that looks or feels caked onto my face. No, thank you! My go-to products are usually a simple tinted SPF, but if I’m looking for a little more coverage, I’ve been grabbing Clé de Peau Beauté The Foundation. It still has SPF as well, which is clutch, but this baby is literally the smoothest, most velvety base coat my skin has ever felt! Now this stuff ain’t cheap, but a little goes a long way. I like that it’s totally buildable, so you can get a super light, sheer base, or create a bit more coverage. Pro tip- start with a layer of their Correcting Cream Veil to create a smooth, primed surface before applying foundation. I honestly can’t get over how luxurious this feels on my skin- think of your favorite cashmere knit all cuddled up soft. Totally luminous and radiant skin is calling your name! Now, y’all know I love good skincare, and so what makes The Foundation even better is the fact that it contains the Illuminating Complex EX. This added skincare perk helps moisturize, rejuvenate, retexturize, and visibly repair environmental damage. Love me a multitasker! Clé de Peau honestly makes so many great products- if you need a little extra coverage for redness, blemishes, or dark circles, I highly recommend their concealers as well. Truly the full package!

fave products // w3ll people narcissist foundation cream

Considering the fact that our skin absorbs 80% of what we put on it, I'd say it's pretty important to know the quality of ingredients in our skincare products. W3ll People uses none of the artificial chemicals that can be so harmful to our complexions, but instead only 100% natural ingredients that deliver flawless coverage and soothing protection. Enter W3ll People Narcissist Foundation, a creamy formula that melts instantly into the skin, giving it a fresh, healthy glow. I find it works great at balancing my skin tone while diminishing the appearance of imperfections, and I love its weightless, satiny finish. Not to mention, the stick design makes it easy to toss in your bag for on-the-go application. You can use it simply as a spot treatment and to cover redness, or over the entire face, creating buildable coverage as needed. I can safely say Narcissist is one of my fave new go-to's in my makeup bag, and I definitely recommend you try it out for yourself!

fave products // lilah b. multipurpose makeup palettes

View fullsize

Y'all know I'm a sucker for clean beauty. Meaning skincare and makeup brands that are made from natural ingredients, with no crazy chemicals or fragrances. Lilah b. is just that, and their goal is to make beauty simple by offering a minimalistic collection of multi-purpose products that give you a finished look with less. I mean, couldn't practically everyone benefit from a movement to declutter, minimalize, and simplify? I know I could! You'll find ingredients like coconut oil, aloe vera, and agar in their products, which work to soothe and hydrate the skin while adding any coverage or color you may want. Their palettes come in beautiful, sleek and modern stone compacts, and are an ideal addition for those looking to streamline their morning routine!

Lilah b.'s All You Need Discovery Set really is all you need to give you a simple, but beautiful look thanks to their three multi-tasking best-sellers. I'm not typically one to wear foundation, but The Flawless Finish Foundation is more of a silky, weightless powder that doesn't feel heavy or leave you with that caked-on makeup look. Although it's buildable for those seeking more coverage, it still gives my skin that naturally luminous glow I crave. It also comes in a variety of shades, so there's something for every skin tone. The Palette Perfection Eye Quad in b.stunning is the perfect combination of neutral shades, giving you multiple options for eye looks whether you're looking for something more natural or more dramatic. I even like using it as a bronzer or contour if I want a little more golden glow! The Divine Duo Lip & Cheek palette in b.lovely is great for adding a little pop of color to your look. It's creamy, but with a matte finish, so it won't leave you looking too shiny. I found the blendable color to also be super long-lasting, which is key. Thanks to lilah b., you really can be more, with less!

fave products // glossier stretch concealer

Since my skin gets a pretty regular application of makeup for work, I tend to go more minimal when I'm not shooting. I like giving my skin a chance to breathe, if that makes sense. That being said, there are times when I will do my own makeup, and for those occasions, I have a handful of tried and true products in my arsenal. Glossier has become a favorite brand of mine over the last couple of years- they make affordable skincare and makeup products that keep you coming back again and again. I'm a huge fan of both Haloscope and Boy Brow, so I had high expectations for their Stretch Concealer. 

There's nothing worse than concealer that looks and feels caked onto your skin. On the contrary, I'm always searching for one that let's my skin look like actual skin! For a while now I've been using (and super pleased with!) RMS Beauty "Un" Cover Up, but after finishing my last tub, I was curious to try the Glossier version. Since it's made with elastic micro waxes, I've found that this concealer never actually gets dry or flaky, but rather moves with my skin throughout the day. The buildable formula is made with nourishing avocado and jojoba oils, which leave my skin perfectly dewy and glowing as well! Not to mention, it's totally easy to apply with just your fingertips- so toss it in your bag and go!
