Palladio Herbal Foundation Primer//$11.99 //Ulta
This stuff is a dupe for Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. It helps my makeup last all day, plus the formula is very light.

This concealer is creamy but covers blemishes with ease. I love that it does not crease or become cakey.

Another dupe, but this time it's for Make Up For Ever HD. This foundation leaves my face looking fresh and flawless.
Tool

If you want a flawless finish to your foundation, you must pick up one of these. I was so impressed by how much better foundations look after using these!

NYX Stay Matte but Not Flat Powder Foundation//$9.99//Ulta
In combination with my NYX HD Foundation, my face has looked better than ever. This helps bump up the coverage and set my foundation.
I cannot say enough good things about this primer. It is a dupe for Urban Decay Primer Potion at a fraction of the cost. My eyeshadow now lasts all day, where before it was just hours.
If you want an eyeliner that stays put all day, this one is your best bet.
This mascara bumps up the volume and length of my lashes. I have never seen them look so good!

Clinique Color Surge Butter Shine in Pink-a-Boo//$15//Macy's
