This primer is a total glow booster! It leaves skin feeling silky, hydrated, and perfectly prepped for makeup without that heavy, silicone-y feel. The subtle radiance makes your foundation glide on and last all day. Great for dry to combo skin — oily...

I didn’t expect to like this foundation as much as I do — but it seriously impressed me. The finish is that perfect balance between natural and polished: not too matte, not too dewy, just healthy-looking skin. It blends effortlessly, feels lightweigh...
Best Skin Ever Perfect Natural Finish Longwear Foundation

The texture of this cleansing oil is perfect — silky and lightweight, but rich enough to melt away every trace of makeup effortlessly. It glides on smoothly, turns milky when rinsed, and leaves my skin feeling clean, soft, and balanced. No residue, n...

Kept my skin hydrated! If you have tried all serums that claim to hydrate your dry, dehydrated skin, you have to give this a go! Lightweight yet heavy duty. Can be used under and over makeup, doesn’t cause cakey or separation on makeup. There is no o...

I’ve tried different setting sprays but always come back to this for lasting makeup. It melts powder into the makeup and does not result in separation. I’m amazed how this setting spray can keep my makeup glowy for hours with no oily feel.
Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray - Charlotte Tilbury
 
Jen Chan profile picture
The lightest-weight foundation I’ve tried. It is so breathable and so easy to build. I apply it with a dense brush and my skin looks dewy. I can easily build it up for coverage. It doesn’t oxidise as much as other foundations. What I love about this ...
Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation - NARS Cosmetics

I have freckles on my cheeks and have tried many concealers and heavy foundations to hide them. This concealer is the best one yet in covering my melasma and freckles. I am in shade crème brûlée as I need the little bit of pink/peach to colour correc...
Soft Matte Complete Concealer | NARS Cosmetics

This brush is my favourite - I could use it with concealer, cream or pot, and the size and shape can also be used to tap liquid or cream blush. The brush is dense and soft.
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Liquid Touch Concealer Brush
 
Jen Chan profile picture
Viral for a good reason. Easy to blend, buildable, doesn’t crease or cause separation on top of foundation and concealer. I love the colour “hope” - it’s like an everyday colour. I would wear it to work, or on a weekend with kids. A little goes a lon...
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush - Sephora
 
Jen Chan profile picture
Best concealer to cover freckles, hyperpigmentation, melasma, especially if using a liquid foundation. A little goes a long way, highly blendable and buildable. I’m using shade willow and it gives me a natural coverage without cakiness.
Best to cover freckles and melasma! Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Full Coverage Longwear Concealer
 
Jen Chan profile picture
This is one of my favourite powder blushes when I want my skin to look fresh and naturally glowy. I use the shade Cheer, which gives the prettiest soft sheen without looking sparkly or obvious. What I love most is how well it sits on top of foundati...

Sunscreens

Learning about tinted mineral sunscreens completely changed the way I protect my skin. Since I have freckles and melasma, I now reach for formulas with iron oxides instead of relying on regular sunscreen alone. This one is easy to wear every day bec...
Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 - Sunscreens - SkinCeuticals
 
Jen Chan profile picture
This has become a staple in my pigmentation routine. I wanted a tinted mineral sunscreen with iron oxides, and this is one I keep repurchasing because it’s easy to wear every day. The texture is creamier than SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion, so I usua...
Sunforgettable® Total Protection® Face Shield Flex SPF 50
 
Jen Chan profile picture
This is the sunscreen I reach for whenever I’m wearing makeup. It feels more like a lightweight moisturiser than a sunscreen, and I’ve never had any issues with it pilling under foundation. My skin is quite dry and dehydrated, so I like that it give...
