Makeup You Will Not Regret Buying From Sephora!


A Makeup Artist’s Sephora Edit: What I Truly Recommend

If You’re Only Buying a Few Things at Sephora, Start Here


Shopping Sephora online can feel just as overwhelming as being in store — endless pages of products, glowing reviews, and very convincing marketing. You add things to your cart with high hopes, only to wonder when they arrive if you’ve actually chosen the right products for you. I see this all the time with clients: makeup drawers full of barely-used buys and that familiar “why doesn’t this look like I hoped?” feeling.

That’s exactly why I put this list together.

Makeup You Will Not Regret Buying From Sephora! is my carefully edited selection of products I genuinely recommend as a makeup artist. These are not trendy-for-five-minutes purchases or things that only work under studio lighting. They’re products I’ve seen perform beautifully on real people, real skin, and in real life.


When I recommend a product, it’s because I’ve either used it on clients, reached for it repeatedly myself, or seen how it simplifies a routine while still delivering a polished, natural result. I care far more about how makeup wears, feels, and ages on the skin than how exciting it looks on a shelf.

This edit is especially for you if you want makeup that:

  • looks like skin, not makeup

  • is easy to apply (even if you’re not confident)

  • earns its place in your makeup bag

  • doesn’t leave you thinking “why did I buy this?”



If you don’t want a 15-step routine or a full face overhaul, you’re in the right place. These are the pieces I’d suggest starting with if you want the biggest payoff for your money — the products that quietly do the heavy lifting and make everything else look better.

Think of this as your shortcut through Sephora: fewer mistakes, less overwhelm, and makeup you’ll actually enjoy using.

Let’s get into the products I truly stand behind.
