If Your Makeup Bag Needs a Refresh, Start Here

A friend of mine recently texted me in full makeup bag crisis mode. She needed a complete reset - like, toss it all and start over.

And honestly? Sometimes a fresh start is exactly what you need. So I did what any good friend who happens to be a 14-year professional makeup artist would do - I put together a full, curated guide of everything she needed, from skincare base to setting spray, and every single thing in between.

Then I thought - why keep this between us? If she needed this, I know some of you do too.

Whether you're starting completely from scratch or just filling in the gaps, this guide has you covered. Every single product is linked so you can shop directly - no hunting around, no guesswork.

And if you ever want personalized recommendations for your specific skin type, coloring, or routine - that's exactly what my makeup lessons are for!
