The 'date night' perfume. Sweet but dangerous—like strawberry dipped in dark chocolate. Patchouli keeps it from being too young. This is what you wear when you want to be remembered. Warning: very strong first 2 hours, then settles beautifully. Don't...

The 'I don't care what anyone thinks' perfume. Coffee, vanilla, white flowers. This is YSL's bestseller for a reason it's cozy but sexy, like wearing an oversized cashmere sweater with nothing underneath. Perfect for fall and winter. I don't recommen...
Black Opium Eau de Parfum - Coffee & Vanilla Warm Spicy.

The 'clean girl aesthetic' perfume. Fresh, soapy, expensive-smelling without trying too hard. This is what you wear to brunch with friends who 'don't like perfume.' It's subtle but present. Lasts 6 hours on me. I recommend this for women who want to ...

The 'makeup artist secret' product. Use this under foundation and everything looks better. Not a moisturizer, not a primer—somewhere in between. Contains glycerin and hyaluronic acid. I use this on every client before foundation application. Makes ma...

The plump my fine lines serum. Hyaluronic acid that actually penetrates (not just sits on top). I use this in the morning under moisturizer. Skin looks bouncier, makeup applies smoother. Expensive but one bottle lasts 4 months.

The I look like I have my life together' eye cream. Peachy tint color-corrects dark circles before concealer. I use this on brides who cried the night before neutralizes blue/purple tones instantly. Also works as a subtle concealer on no-makeup days.

The 'stays in my waterline for 8 hours' pencil. Most liners disappear from my waterline in 2 hours. This one stays. Creamy enough to smudge for a smoky look, then sets and doesn't move. I use shade 1 (black) for tightlining and 6 (deep blue) to make ...

A mascara that achieves high volume and a dramatic false lash effect.
MASCARA VOLUME EFFET FAUX CILS WATERPROOF - Luxurious Mascara
 
Julieta profile picture
One of my favorite luxury mascaras for instant volume and that bold false-lash look. It makes lashes look darker, thicker, and more defined from root to tip, while the formula feels comfortable and the brush builds beautiful drama fast.
