SIZE 1.35 oz / 40 mL • ITEM 2047298
USD $49.00 CAD $60.00 Sephora or USD $49.00 CAD $66.82 Nordstrom

This liquid foundation is a game changer with its mousse-to-powder matte that is perfect if you are going with a natural look or if you want flawless buildable coveage without the cake face. It is soft and blurs both pores and imperfections effortless which makes it the ultimate canvas for all your holiday sparkle.

ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Amrezy Highlighter
USD $28.00 CAD $36.00

If you only buy one thing on this list GET THIS ITEM while you can. It is in re-release as a limited edition product and one I hope they will make permanent ( I just ordered a back up myself). The Amrezy Highlighter is a stunning light brilliant gold illuminating powder . It goes on buttery smooth and delivers a radiant finish that brilliantly reflects light. Amrezy herself describes it as “sun in a compact” and it truly, TRULY is. It is like having the best lighting team with you at all times. It is perfect for swiping not only on your high points but for giving you an overall stunning glow on any piece of skin. It catches light in the most flattering way. Let the light in and get one.

House of Lashes x Sephora Collection Lash Collection
USD $14.00 CAD $18.00

In order to flaunt those gorgeous eyes a beautiful set of lashes is a holiday party must have. The House of Lashes x Sephora Collection Lash Collection is beautifully handcrafted and made of 100% synthetic fibers that give a stunning lash look. My favourites so far have been Yvette, Natalia and Valentina. One natural and two full. They are practically effortless to apply with my SEPHORA COLLECTION House of Lashes® Eyelash Adhesive and Bulls Eye Lash Applicator. These beauties are reusable and when stores and taken care of properly very long lasting.

RCMA No Colour Powder

USD $12.00

This product is a cult-classic and beloved by pro makeup artists for good reason. This invisible setting powder has been used on set by Hollywood makeup artists for years, because it glides over skin, locking in makeup and keeps a soft focus finish and comfortably matte. It keeps my makeup looking perfect for hours with no caking, creasing, or shine. One of my favourite things about this product is it’s pigment-free formula that makes my skin look flawless without altering color or texture of my makeup products. It blurs my imperfections, fine lines and erases my pores. As if that wasn’t enough it can be used a loose powder, bake concealer and mattify lip products. I’ve even thrown it in my hair in a pinch to mattify and provide some volume.
A bottle will last you so long it will take you months to need to repurchase and for the price - just get yourself some.

MAC COSMETICS Lipstick in Ruby Woo

SIZE 0.1 oz/ 3 g•ITEM 2097731
CAD $23.00 Can’t commit to a full size? Check out the mini for CAD $12.00

Ruby Woo - very matte vivid blue-red

The formula is long-wearing with intense colour payoff and a completely matte finish. Application of this lipstick can take some precision and practice to get it exactly how you like it. It can be dry and stiff to apply in texture and it can pull as you bring it across the lips - just go slow and make sure to use a matching lip liner. Once on it is beautifully impactful. It will leave a strain behind and you may need some gloss to keep your lips moistened but it is so worth it.
