It’s SO tempting to buy all the things during the Sephora Savings Event, but if you’re looking to spend wisely, you’re in the right place.

First of all, make sure you’re getting the BEST deal. If you’re buying Sephora Collection items at 30% off—that’s great. 20% off as Rouge? That’s good. But 15% as VIB or 10% as an Insider? Unless the item you’re getting is exclusively sold at Sephora, I think you can do better.

This time of year is prime time for friends and family sales. Some of your fave brands may have sales where you can get 20-30% off without having a spending tier. So before you hit submit on that Sephora order, google to see if your fave brands have better deals on their websites.

MY CURRENT COMPLEXION FAVES

Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Triclone Skin Tech Medium Coverage Foundation with Fermented Arnica

I LOVE this foundation. It covers well but still looks like skin. It gives me a natural finish—not too matte, not too dewy. (I have oily skin)

Shade 470 is a perfect match for me–see what other shades I wear here.

Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation (or matte)

This is a new fave—I’d previously used the matte version most often, but although I have oily skin, as I get older it’s gets a little bit less oily. The glow version used to be too dewy for me, but now it gives me a slight dewy finish which I can appreciate for certain looks.

I wear shade 6.5N in both.

ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder

I love how this sets my makeup without that super powdery look. I use the Dark/Deep shade.
