What are Mikayla Nogueria's go-to base products?
When it comes to her makeup routine, Mikayla Nogueria certainly incorporates a diverse range of products. It seems like she's tried hundreds of products, but she has a couple of go-to base products that are certainly worth checking out.
A skincare staple for Nogueria is the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer. She explains that it perfectly grips makeup to skin, enhancing product longevity. One of Nogueria's go-to base products is the Nars Radiant Wear Foundation. In a video on TikTok where she ranks her favorite high end makeup must-haves, Nogueria explains that she loves this foundation because it is radiant, offers medium to full coverage, and lasts extremely well.
Other product favorites of Nogueria's include the Nars Laguna Bronzer, the Laura Mercier Setting Powder, and the Hourglass Vanish Concealer. In a TikTok video, Nogueria explains that the Hourglass Vanish Concealer not only comes in the perfect shade for her skin tone, but that the applicator that comes with the product is fantastic. She also points out how well it applies product to the skin, as well as the amount of coverage that the concealer offers.
Benefit Cookie Highlighter is another makeup bag must-have for Nogueria. She explains that while the product doesn't get much hype, it's one of the very best highlighters she's ever used. As someone who loves a strong glow, Nogueria explains that she's also a big fan of the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand, which she applies three dots of and then blends with her fingers, before repeating the process for an added highlight.
What makeup products does Mikayla Nogueria swear by for eyes, brows, and lips?
While a lot of beauty enthusiasts aren't big fans of the Huda Beauty eyeshadow palettes, Mikayla Nogueria explains in a TikTok video that she loves them, particularly the Huda Beauty Nude Palette (that she says goes really well with green eyes, like hers). Another must-have product for Nogueria is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Liner, which she claims is the best liquid liner she's ever used. For a non-liquid liner, Nogueria suggests using the Urban Decay Legend Tight Liner.
