We've all watched an elaborate beauty routine from an influencer and felt overwhelmed by the intricate process. There's no way I have the time to do all that, nor the skill. I admire anyone who does have those makeup application abilities, but I'm just not that person. Thankfully, Tinx is on the same page.

"I'm not a traditional makeup girl. You will not see me doing a get ready with me that's super tight and perfect, but I still love products so much. I feel like that's why I love talking about them. I talk about what's easy and what's worked for me as someone who is not naturally good at makeup," Tinx shared during a recent Amazon Live session.

The influencer insisted that all of her must-haves are "very easy to use," explaining, "I think part of the anxiety of doing your makeup is if you mess one thing up your whole face is ruined and you have to start again. That stresses me out." That's a very relatable sentiment. Luckily, Tinx's tried and true essentials are stress-free products. 

TL;DR: Tinx's Easy Beauty Must-Haves

Conair Spa Headband

"This is the most comfortable thing alive. This headband is my religion. I have to wear it in the house."

Summer House star Paige DeSorbo has recommended this headband too. It's currently available in 3 colors.

Openhahaha Cat Shaped Drawstring Makeup Bag

"Isn't this the most crazy thing you've ever seen? This looks exactly like my cat Viche. The other crazy thing is that the other makeup bag in this set is a grey cat that looks just like my cat Miso. Obviously, this is a confluence of two of my favorite things, cats and makeup."

More From Tinx: "How cute is this? This makeup bag is probably my favorite thing that I own."

These makeup bags come in 14 colors.

Kosas Brow Pop- Dual-Sided Defining Pencil with Castor Oil for Soft

"I think Kosas makes some of the best eyebrow materials out there. I always scared of pencils before this one because I just didn't know how to do it and I was afraid. This one is so easy. It's dual-ended. It has a little spoolie on one end."

Tinx uses this eyebrow pencil in the shade Medium Brown. She follows up with the Kosas Air Brow.

Kosas Air Brow Tinted Gel

"This is truly one of the easiest products you can use on your eyebrows. I don't like anything super harsh. I don't like intense products. They just don't suit my face. This is absolutely fabulous. I have an Air Brow in every single one of my purses. I even keep one in my car."

More From Tinx: "It makes my face look really snatched and good. Even if I don't have any foundation on, the one thing I will always do before I leave the house is my eyebrows."

Tinx uses this in the shade Dark Brown.

Kosas Mini Revealer Concealer

"Speaking of things that I keep in my purse, this is the Kosas Mini Revealer Concealer. Their concealer is absolutely fantastic. It's really one of the best concealers out there to me because it's very versatile. This little guy is my best friend."

Tinx says that she uses a few different shades, including 1.5 C.

RMS Beauty Go Nude Lip Pencil

"If you follow me on any platform, you know this is a tried and true. I have probably ingested about 500 RMS lip liners in my life. I don't go out of the house without it. I can barely walk to my kitchen without lip liner. I am so obsessed."

More From Tinx: "The reason that I like the RMS one is it's clean beauty. You can draw outside the lines, mess up, and it doesn't matter. I like to overline. I know some people don't, but for me, this shade is just so stunning. I can't get enough of it. This is an absolute 10 out of 10 lip liner. I could not love it more. It's everything to me."

Tinx adores the shade Morning Dew, emphasizing that "all of their shades are fantastic."

RMS Beauty Skin2Skin Blush Brush

"This is one of the best blush brushes. It's just the perfect size. It's fluffy on the end and it gets dense as it goes down."

More From Tinx: "Call me Picasso because I'm obsessed with brushes. My life began when I realized the importance of having good tools as well as good makeup."

Saie The Double Brush

"This Saie double-sided brush is always in my kit. It's a really good brush."

Tinx uses the smaller brush to put powder over concealer and the bigger end to apply liquid blushes.

RMS Beauty Straight Up Volumizing Peptide Mascara

"This is such a good mascara, it's actually insane. It is just so good, so elongating, and it's a bristle brush, which I prefer. I prefer a bristle brush to a plastic applicator."

More From Tinx: "I keep this guy in my purse. I keep one in my carry-on. It's great for opening of the eyes. Also, it's clean."

Saie Glossybounce High-Shine Hydrating Lip Oil Gloss

"What I love about this lip oil is you can use it without a liner and it doesn't go anywhere. Sometimes oils can be so all over the place. It's not sticky at all, which is something I look for in a lip product. I like that it stays shiny."

More From Tinx: "I'm a big Saie fan. They are such a fantastic brand. I absolutely love them. This is the shade Dip. It's one of my faves."

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards has recommended this gloss too.

Saie Sun Melt Bronzer

"I am absolutely biblical about this product, the Saie Sun Melt. Take a big fluffy brush and do it all over the corners of your face. It won't make your face look muddy. That's a big problem I have with a lot of bronzers."

More From Tinx: "This one is very moist. It lays really nicely. You can layer it. Highly highly recommend this. It's a fantastic bronzer."

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter

"If you're not using this, I love you, but you have to stop living under a rock. It is so fricking good. What I like to do is prime my face and then do a light base of this all over. For me, layering my face with this before I put on my foundation, 10 out of 10."

More From Tinx: "Some people use it as a highlighter on top of their makeup. Also, if you want a superlight look and you're not gonna wear foundation, sometimes I just use this. It's light enough, but it still gives you a fair amount of coverage and just this luminosity. It makes you look like you have a filter on your face.

I mix 3 and 4, depending on how tan I am.

Tracie Martyn Amla Purifying Cleanser

"I'm going on eight years using this. If you've been following me for a while, you know that I use this every single day. It's what I use to wash my face at night. It takes off my makeup. It's safe for eyes. It gets off any grime. It does not dry out your face. It really cleans it."

More From Tinx: "I can't say enough good things about it. I've recommended this to 40 people I've known in my life. No one has ever not adopted this into their regime. It is such a phenomenal cleanser."

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radiant Touch Concealer

"This is such a good product. I've used this since high school. I use it to conceal and brighten. I have one of these in every bag."

More From Tinx: "Embarrassing because in high school I wore it as a lip gloss. That was the style. That was the trend back then, you guys."

Tom Ford Eyebrow Laminator

"Such a fricking good brow laminator. Say you're going on a night out and you want your brows to be a little more defined, you can just use this."

Tom Ford Eye Color Quad Eyeshadow Palette- 29 Desert Fox

"This is such a good palette. It's a very neutral palette. The shades are very pigmented. It's beautiful. They're long-wearing. You can mix and match."

Too Faced Better Than Sex Volumizing Mascara

"This is just such a classic. This is my going out mascara. It's just so good. It's thick, but it never clumps. To get that sort of length without clumping, is so rare."

Shoppers Agree: This mascara is a top-seller with 12,800+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

Amazon has this in black and brown.

Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray Anti-Frizz Treatment

"I got this because my hairdresser is obsessed with Color Wow. I trust him with my life. I got this and it is fantastic. It transforms texture and it helps with humidity. It de-poofs in the best way possible, but it doesn't make your hair greasy."

Tinx's pick was also recommended by The Bachelorette alum Tayshia AdamsSummer House star Paige DeSorbo, and Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent.

Shoppers Agree: This top-selling hair product has 54,800+ 5-star Amazon reviews.

Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Rich Hydration Cream Face Moisturizer

"This is just a really rich Vitamin C cream, which I feel like is so smart because I haven't seen a lot of Vitamin C creams that are rich. I love the weight of this one. It feels really sumptuous and luxurious, so your skin can soak up all the Vitamin C.

Weleda Skin Food Original Ultra-Rich Body Cream

"It's one of those magical creams where if you have a little nick on your finger, just put a little on. It's great for sunburns. It's so sumptuous. I use it as a base if my skin is feeling really dry. I learned this off of a makeup artist and I will never travel without this again."

More From Tinx: "To know her is to love her. It is seriously the best."
