Hi Gorgeous,

The Sephora sale is coming and it's the perfect time to restock the products you already love, pick up a few kit staples, or finally try something that’s been sitting on your wishlist. I like to shop with a plan—especially when I’m choosing products for my makeup kit. The best buys are the ones you’ll reach for again and again, not just the ones that look tempting in the moment!

Sale dates, discount tiers, and product availability can change, so check Sephora’s current sale details before you shop. And remember: discounts are a bonus, but you don’t have to buy something just because it’s on sale.

Complexion staples

For complexion products, think about what you actually need to replenish and what will be useful for the looks you create. These are a few of my favorite complexion options to check out:

NARS Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation
Fenty Beauty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint
MERIT The Uniform Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 45
Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation
Tower 28 Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm😊

Tower 28 Concealer - My favorite concealer to recommend to clients.

Blush, bronzer, and glow

I love products that make it easy to add warmth and color to a look. Cream-and-powder formulas, sticks, and palettes can also be handy to keep in your personal collection or professional kit.

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush
MERIT Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer
HAUS LABS The Edge Precision Sculpting Contour Stick
Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo

My favorite blush from Rare Beauty - I love that it comes in this holiday set.

Eyes, lips, and setting

A few well-loved eye, lip, and finishing products can go a long way, whether you’re creating a soft everyday look or getting ready for a special occasion.

Sephora Collection 12H Contour Pencil — Black Lace and Tiramisu
MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Color Pencil - my favorites are Wherever Walnut, Versatile Chesnut, Up & Down Tan
Sephora Collection Brow Pencil
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Ultra-Blur
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Set + Refresh Spray
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder

Such a great universal setting spray - and this little holiday set comes with two - one for you and one to gift away.

My sale-shopping tip

Before you check out, take a quick look at what you already own and make a short list of what you genuinely need. If you're not sure, try out the mini sizes and also look at some of the holiday sets - such a great value.
