Sephora Must-Haves: Products Worth Your Buck
Updated: October 2024
I love doing my makeup, trying new makeup techniques, and trying new makeup products. Though that last part is true, I haven’t always tried new trending makeup products… until recently. And, WOW, you b!tches were right, idk why I didn’t listen earlier.
In high school and college, I used to sample foundations from Sephora since a b!tch couldn’t afford it. Now, I say f*ck it. Don’t get me wrong, I love drug store makeup and think there’s a lot of phenomenal makeup products, but I want to focus on Sephora products and things that are definitely worth it.
If you were to only get a handful of stuff from Sephora, let it be this because they are definitely worth your coin. I’m basically selling you on complexion products, so let’s get into it.
1. Estee Lauder - Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation - $52
This is everything and for good reason, I now f*cking get it. It took me a long ass time to cave and when I tell you I wish I had done it sooner, I mean that with my whole ass chest. The formula, wearability, longevity of wear, and blendability are phenomenal.
It is a buildable, full coverage foundation without feeling heavy. As an oily girl, I seek light-weight, but buildable full coverage foundations and this is the one. I can wear it for 8+ hours with only one or two touch ups.
The only downside is that you have to buy your own pump ($13) — you don’t want to risk your foundation oxidizing! Or risk accidentally pouring out too much of your precious, expensive foundation. But, trust, when I say get the pump.
This is truly an airbrushed look. Whenever I wear this foundation, I just feel like that b!tch. It is so full coverage, and gives you Hollywood glam, but effortlessly.
If set properly, it is so beautiful. It truly gives you that bright, seamless undereye. LOVE HER!
3. Patrick Ta - Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo - $40
The formula on this is everything. Honestly, you get both a contour AND bronzer. That’s a steal for me. They blend beautifully and are just gorgeous touches to the skin.
You can be chiseled and bronzed. These are so easy to use, too — love her!
4. Patrick Ta - Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo - $38
The color and pigment on these blushes are truly magnificent. Again, not only do you get a creme formula, but a powder one, too! These truly make you feel like that b!tch.
They blend so nicely and they are just so easy to use. For everyday, you can use just the creme — oh it’s so good!
5. Huda Beauty - Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder - $38
This is key to a solid base. This will literally blur your skin and give you that photo-finish look. I am telling you, this is the powder that you need for full-glam. It’s a game changer.
It sets everything so seamlessly — it doesn’t make you feel dry or cakey either. It’s my current favorite setting powder.
6. One Size - On 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray - $32
THIS ONE. THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. Patrick Starr did his thing for us oily girlies. I didn’t know I needed something so much. My friend put me on and I am still STUNNED, like that sh*t really holds you tf together. If you have oily skin, TRUST ME when I say this sh*t is worth your money. I have had far less touch ups; one time I wore my makeup over 12 hours and only touched up twice, so, that’s pretty f*cking good (beforehand, I was touching up every 4 hours).
7. Fenty Beauty - Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder - $37
This stays in my purse at ALL times, it is literally always with me. It’s the perfect setting powder, finishing powder, & touch up powder. It doesn’t make you cakey and it truly makes it look like you are a filter. LOL does that make sense, like “b!tch, what filter? That’s just my face”. GREAT buy - I use it everyday and I'm not even being dramatic when I say that. Rihanna can take all of my money, but I think we already knew that.
RECAPPPPP
Whether you’re starting your makeup journey or well into it, I still encourage you to research your makeup before buying it. I obviously think these are huge game changers in makeup, but that may only apply to me - what may work for me, may not always work for other people. Just a gentle reminder.
With that said, these makeup products are huge game changers (LMFAOOO) and the main things that have changed my makeup wear and makeup game. I be so shook when I do my makeup, like that’s ME, b!tch, and I get so excited. The best way to improve your own makeup skills is to practice and not be afraid of possible failure. Sometimes all you need to do is train your muscles (your makeup skills). It gets so much easier, you just have to continue practicing fr.
I hope these products are helpful for you! Please let me know if you end up purchasing and how you like them!
