Whether you’re looking for a fresh update to your routine or just curious about what’s been working for me, here’s a peek inside my current must-haves!
TINTED SPF FACE SUNSCREEN
This tinted face sunscreen is a lightweight, oil-free formula that blends seamlessly into the skin. It provides breathable sun protection that can be worn alone or as a buildable base under makeup.
lIQUID CONCEALER
I use shade 4N in this lightweight and creaseless concealer that seamlessly evens out skin tone and hides imperfections. It’s ideal for brightening, sculpting, or achieving a flawless base.
BB CREAM
If you're looking for a lightweight, buildable BB cream, this is my go-to! It gives long-lasting coverage with SPF protection and a smooth, radiant finish. I love applying it with a brush for the best blend—I wear shade GT4.
HYDRATING FOUNDATION STICK
Looking for a lightweight foundation that feels like second skin? This hydrating stick is perfect for on the go and glides on effortlessly for a natural, glowy finish. I wear shade 5 Medium, and it’s my go-to for an easy, everyday look!
SCULPTING + BRONZING
CONTOUR STICK
This hydrating stick melts into the skin like a dream for a sculpted, bronzed effect that lasts all day. I wear shade 03 Medium, and it’s my go-to for effortless definition!
POWDER BRONZER
If you love a natural, sun-kissed glow, this powder bronzer is a must! It’s breathable, but super pigmented so a little goes a long way, and blurs fine lines and pores for a smooth finish. I wear shade 03 Medium.
GLOW FACE PALETTE
This face palette achieves a radiant glow! With four luminous shades, it functions as a highlighter and blush, allowing for individual or layered use. My favorite palette 001-Universal, providing a lit-from-within effect!
LIQUID BLUSH
This set is perfect for achieving the ultimate peachy/rosy glow! It includes three shades to mix and match—for a soft, flushed, or radiant highlight.
MASCARA
This mascara is my absolute favorite that I keep going back to—it takes my top and bottom lashes to the next level! The dual-sided wand grabs every lash for insane length and definition, and the long-lasting formula never clumps, flakes, or smudges.
VOLUMIZING BROW GEL
This little tube lasts forever and works like magic! The tiny microfibers instantly add natural-looking volume, while the tapered brush makes application super easy for fuller, fluffier brows in seconds. Pro tip: start from the end and back-comb your hairs for a fuller look.
LIP SERUM
Looking for a lip treatment that keeps your lips hydrated no matter the season? This one has been a lifesaver through cold winters and sunny vacations—plus, the cooling applicator is the best! Use code Caralyn15 at checkout. *case sensitive
SETTING SPRAY
This setting spray is my tried-and-true favorite—I’ve been using it for years! It locks in makeup all day, keeping it fresh and smudge-proof without feeling heavy or drying.
