Spring is in the air, and it’s time to declutter your makeup and treat yourself to new products! The Sephora Sales Event is officially on and it’s my favorite time to purchase my core beauty products and try new ones. Before you shop the sale, I recommend taking inventory of your makeup drawer. This includes seeing what products you are running low on, checking expiration dates to throw out old products and making note of new products you’d like to try. As someone with dry and acne-prone skin, I tend to stick to my tried and true products that don’t break me out. I have included a list of them below and I hope this helps!
Please know that these personally work for me, always make sure to test makeup on a small section of your skin with any new product. This post contains affiliate links.

My Recommendations:
To shop, click on the highlighted links below.
Foundation
- Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation – This has been my go to foundation for the past 5 years, it is a medium buildable coverage and leaves your skin feeling hydrated.
Concealer
- Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer – This is a medium coverage concealer that I use for my under eyes and acne marks. I will also use just this concealer alone on days that I don’t want a full makeup look.
Contour Stick
- Milk Makeup Matte Cream Contour Stick – Cream bronzer stick that blends easily.
- Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Effortless Cream Bronzer Stick – Very similar to the Milk Makeup bronzer stick but this one blends slightly better
Bronzer
- Yves Saint Laurent Sunkissed Glow Bronzer – a silky bronzer with subtle shimmer. I dust a little bit of this on top of my contour to set it.
Blush
- NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush – liquid, buildable blush that delivers 8 hour hydration. I use this on my “no makeup” days for a glowy natural look.
- NARS Powder Blush – pressed powdered blush
Highlighter
- Benefit Cosmetics Cookie and Tickle Shimmer Finish Powder Highlighter – I used this highlighter on my wedding day I love it so much! I like to use on the inner corners of my eye.

Brow
