Make-up prep
Can be used as a stand alone product for improved hydration in the morning or before make up as prep.
Goodbye tired eyes. Great prep for under eyes. Makes makeup application smoother and seamless. Love the iridescent colors of each patch too.
For Good Luxury Beautification Undereye Masks
The one lotion I can use under my eyes and all over my face and neck for great skin prep before make up. Small volume tubes for travel. I keep them in makeup bags, to go bags, school bags, work bags. You name it. It’s in there.
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion, Fragrance-Free, 2.5oz, 3 Pack
One of my favorite products in my prep routine. I love the texture of it and the way it builds my under eye area while making it a smooth surface for makeup to go on top.
cooling blurring undereye balm
Similar velvety texture to the under eye balm but as a primer without the caffeine. Have this in my bag for when I’m doing a full look. Hasn’t let me down.
blurring primer
I use this if I want more hydration under my eyes before makeup and undereye balm.
e.l.f. SKIN Bright + Brew-tiful Eye Cream - 0.52oz: Paraben-Free, Sulfate-Free, Contains Vitamin C, Vegan
I mix between the two for prep. Usually I use the pink one when I don’t have makeup underneath and want a boost of my natural skin.

Skincare
I have combination skin that breaks out to make-up, everyday bacteria, and using the phone at work. Here’s the products I use to keep my acne at bay and my skin looking fresh.
My favorite cleanser is Renee Roulea AHA BHA cleanser. However, it’s expensive. This is a product that is similar but more cost-effective.
Clear Skin AHA BHA Exfoliating Cleanser 8oz
My absolute favorite cleanser to get rid of those pesky sebaceous glands on your nose and cheeks. I have sensitive skin which breaks out easily and this was always a go to.
AHA BHA Blemish Control Cleanser
When it comes to be that time of the month and breakouts/acne emerge, this is the cleanser I will use. I’ve even used it as a mask as suggested and my skin is much more settled the next day. I use this interchangeably with the AHA/BHA cleanser.
Rapid Response Detox Cleanser
I purchased this first at Marshalls and then found it on amazon. I love the combination of ingredients. I use it in the morning to wake up my under eye area as prep my under eye area for makeup.
Advanced Clinicals Dark Circle Caffeine Eye Serum
Expensive but worth it. A daily skin serum for brighter, clearer skin. It helps prevent disruptions in the micro biome of your skin. I use this to maintain clear skin and prevent break outs.
Skin Correcting Serum
For me- a must have. I switch between this and the skin correcting serum. If there are nights where I notice bumps I will use this serum. Continued use helps minimize sebaceous glands and blackheads on my trouble areas. It can be expensive but a subs...
BHA Clarifying Serum
Sweat is my enemy. After any errand where I slightly sweat but don’t need a full shower, I use witch hazel. It’s something I’ve grown up with that has always helped me prevent breakouts. I also use it in place of makeup remover wipes when I travel.
T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel Moisturizing Astringent 16 Oz
I have these in my bag for on the go use. I have long days in theatre school or rehearsing after work. Long days lead to pimples if I don’t keep my skin clear. Especially after sunscreen use. If I’m traveling or on vacation I like to keep these in my...
T.N. Dickinson's Witch Hazel Cleansing Pads 60ct
This mask has been used by celebrities pre-red carpet (Demi Lovato) and is a staple in my cabinet. I use it two days before an event or show to give my skin a much needed glow.
Triple Berry Smoothing Peel
I LOVE this mask. I use it on its’ own if my skin needs a subtle boost, prevention of acne, and hydration. I also use it as a two step system after the triple berry masque for an added finish. I love the way this masque smells, sits, and shines. It l...
