“I used to work at Sephora so if I use something in the drugstore, you know it’s got to be good.

“Only downside is this little dropper situation is atrocious. But I love her so I accept it.
“The L’Oreal Age Perfect Serum Foundation and the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation, these are dupes.
“Medium to full coverage, gorgeous kind of satin finish, it’s just a no-fuss foundation. I grab it whenever I know I want my skin to look really good and I want a little more coverage.
“Okay, concealers.
“We all know that the Kosas concealer is my ultimate holy grail, but this E.L.F. concealer comes very, very close.
“The 16-hour Camo Concealer and it is full, full coverage.
“It doesn’t have as dewy of a finish as the Kosas one does, it sets down more matte, but it’s beautiful.
“Stays all day. Doesn’t crease on me. I love her.
“Moving onto powders. L’Oreal Infalliable. Love this for setting my face, mattifies really well underneath the eyes.
“The Maybelline Fit Me powder, in Translucent. Really brightening.
“They last a really long time, they’re great.
“For cream bronzer, the Revlon Colourstay Skin Awake, and this is actually a concealer, I use it in shade 075.
“This works very similarly to the Charlotte Tilbury, even similar applicator.
“Blends really easily, it’s a good colour and it lasts all day.”
Fans loved her recommendations, with the video gaining more than 107,000 likes and 825,000 views.
