🤍BASE
Starting with the part that makes everything else look better. These are the products for getting your skin looking smooth, even and fresh without making your makeup feel like too much.
I love this for an everyday makeup routine because it helps grip your makeup while the niacinamide is a nice little skincare bonus.

Foundation
Easy everyday coverage without making your under-eyes feel like they’re wearing a ton of makeup.
Concealer
This gives you that soft, smooth finish without making your face look completely flat.
Setting Powder
💕CHEEKS
Never underestimate what a little colour can do 💕 These are the blush, bronzer and glow products that bring your face back to life and make even a simple makeup look feel finished.
A little goes a LONG way with this one 💕 One tiny dot gives you that fresh, pretty flush, and you can build it up if you want more colour.

Tiny strokes make it so much easier to get that natural-looking brow.

💋LIPS
The easiest way to change your whole look? A good lip. 💋 I added a mix of glosses, oils, liners and colour so you can go from “just keeping it simple” to “okayyy, where are you going?”
The easy-girl lip 💕 Wear it alone, put it over liner or keep one in your bag for later. It’s just one of those glosses you actually end up using.
NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss Non-Sticky Lip Gloss
For that juicy, glossy lip without needing a complicated routine. Liner + this and you’re basically ready. 💋

✨TOOLS
The products are important, but the right tools make everything SO much easier. These are the little makeup-bag essentials that help you blend, apply and get ready without fighting with your makeup.
If you’re building your makeup bag from scratch, this is such an easy way to get the brushes and sponge you’ll actually use without buying everything separately.
Everyday Essentials Makeup Brush & Sponge Set
For getting that smooth, blended finish without seeing obvious foundation sitting on your skin. 🫶🏽 A good sponge is honestly underrated.
