From complexion enhancers to versatile lip kits and hydrating skincare, here’s my list of Sephora sale picks that you—and your skin—will love!
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
This one’s a holy grail for a reason! Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder creates a velvety, airbrushed finish that smooths and blurs imperfections without adding weight. It’s a must-have for setting makeup, controlling shine, and giving skin that soft-focus effect that looks flawless in any light. I reach for this on almost every client—it’s perfect for all skin types.
Huda Beauty Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
For serious staying power, Huda Beauty’s Easy Bake Loose Setting Powder is unbeatable. This powder sets makeup beautifully, absorbs oil, and adds a hint of brightness to your under-eye area. Its finely milled formula makes it easy to bake with for that ultra-smooth, crease-free finish that lasts all day. It’s ideal for events and long days when you want your makeup to stay perfectly in place!
ONE/SIZE On ‘Til Dawn Waterproof Setting Spray
For setting sprays, I swear by ONE/SIZE On ‘Til Dawn for clients and big events. It’s mattifying and waterproof, keeping your makeup intact even in humid or long-wear situations. It creates a soft matte finish and has a fine mist that coats evenly—no sticky finish, just solid, all-day wear.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray
For a setting spray that gives you that glowing finish without skimping on hold, Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray is unbeatable. It has a hydrating formula that still keeps everything set for hours. Clients love that it feels lightweight but gives a strong hold—and the subtle scent adds a touch of luxury.
Makeup Forever Mini Artist Color Pencil Lipliner & Eyeliner Kit
A good liner is essential, and the Makeup Forever Mini Artist Color Pencil Kit is a dream for versatility. This set includes mini pencils that can be used on the eyes or lips, making it perfect for travel or on-the-go looks. The colors are rich, long-lasting, and blendable, so you can achieve both natural and bold looks with ease.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Glosses
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm Glosses are the perfect blend of hydration and shine. These glosses feel smooth, keep your lips moisturized, and add just the right amount of color and gloss without any stickiness. The shades are super wearable, perfect for daytime or over your favorite lipstick for a glossy evening look. They’re an ideal pick-me-up for those no-makeup days or finishing touch to a full glam.
If you’ve been wanting to wake up with smoother, softer lips, the **Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask** is a no-brainer. I use this on myself and recommend it to clients who love liquid lips—it’s great for keeping lips hydrated and smooth. You can even use a tiny amount before applying makeup for a soft, primed base. It’s a staple in my kit for a reason!
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Mini Lip Kit
Charlotte Tilbury’s Pillow Talk line is famous for creating that universally flattering nude-pink lip. The **Pillow Talk Mini Lip Kit** includes a mini lipstick and liner, perfect for slipping into your bag and keeping your lip look flawless all day. The color is soft, natural, and looks great on everyone—perfect for weddings, events, and every day!
Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick
I love a good long-lasting lip, and Sephora Collection Cream Lip Stain has an affordable, high-performing formula that rivals some of the best. The color payoff is impressive, with tons of shades to choose from that stay put without feeling dry or heavy. These lip stains are great for layering or on their own and can last all day without needing touch-ups—perfect for both clients and personal use.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Bronzer
If you’re looking for a natural, sun-kissed look, the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Bronzer is a game-changer. This bronzer is finely milled, blends like a dream, and provides buildable warmth to the skin without looking orange or muddy. It’s perfect for sculpting cheekbones or adding a subtle glow to your face, giving you a fresh, radiant look that pairs beautifully with the Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder.Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette
For a radiant, sculpted finish, the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette is incredible. With a mix of soft-focus powders, highlighters, bronzers, and blushes, this palette helps you create a natural, lit-from-within look. It’s easy to blend and layer for a healthy glow, and the finely milled powders work beautifully on every skin tone.
Fenty Beauty Highlighter in Tutu Much and Prosecco Pop
If you’re all about glow, Fenty Beauty’s Killawatt Highlighters are must-haves. Tutu Much is a fun, holographic shimmer perfect for when you want to add a little drama, while Prosecco Pop is a warm, sun-kissed shade. Both blend beautifully and give you that stunning, camera-ready glow that lasts.
Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation and Concealer
Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation and Concealer line is skincare-meets-makeup, providing coverage without looking cakey. The foundation’s natural finish is perfect for everyday wear or big events, and the concealer is fantastic for under-eye brightening and blemish coverage. Plus, the shade range and skin-loving ingredients make these two stand out.
