STEP ONE: Every makeup look needs to start with a good base. To keep my face moisturized, I use the Cica Baume to decrease redness, dryness and irritation. It also makes for a healthy base for makeup!

STEP TWO: Sunscreen! Don't skip this step if you want to avoid sun damage and hyperpigmentation. Cosrx has one of my fav sunscreen formulas as it doesn't leave a white cast and it's very lightweight.

STEP THREE: Crusty lips are an absolute no. Before applying colour, hydrate with a lipbalm. I personally love the texture of the laneige lip mask.

STEP FOUR: Choose a natural finish foundation with good coverage! No one talks about it but it's my everyday go-to and truly a hidden gem especially with an affordable price point of $12. The finish looks like your second skin. It's natural, non-cake...

STEP FIVE: Get a liquid blush for a soft blended look. If you want a good bang for your buck, Rare Beauty blushes all the way. Amazing shade ranges for each skin tone and has a satin-like finish on the skin.

STEP SIX: Setting powder will help to give a flawless look and minimize the look of pores. Keep it minimal or else you'll look cakey!

STEP SEVEN: Add some dimension and contour with bronzer. A lot of people tend to opt for a dull contour shade, but contouring lightly with bronzor will help to bring back colour and make you look more alive. It's up to you how heavy you want it to be...

STEP EIGHT: Pick a neutral but flattering eyeshadow scheme. Glitter is a must. For cuteness, have a light brown shade to create an aegyo-sal below the eye and high the inner part with something lighter and glittery.

STEP NINE: Here's where we get tricky. Avoid applying heavy amounts of powder all over the face because you can go from natural to cakey really fast. Apply a thin layer around your t-zone area, corners of the nose and at the smile lines. Avoid applyi...

STEP TEN: Brown > black eyeliner. If you have darker hair or a darker skin tone, opt for the darkest brown. You have to option of winging it if it makes you comfortable but keep the line thin.

STEP ELEVEN: Apply mascara but DO NOT CLUMP IT! Opt for a mascara with a elongation effect instead of thickening effect.

STEP TWELVE (optional): If you have pale lips like mine, dabbing a bit of colour at the center of your lips helps to give a youthful pout and can liven your makeup look. Don't go for colours too bright, keep it neutral and close to your natural skin ...

STEP THIRTEEN: A lip oil is the most natural you can get, but make it tinted. Avoid mattes and satins which could dry and crack later in the day, solid colours could work for a full-beat makeup look but we're aiming for as natural as possible.

STEP FOURTEEN: You've made it to the second-most important step, a dewy or satin setting spray. I personally like the Urban Decay and Mac Fix Plus, but if you want a good alternative for cheaper, Nyx Satin setting spray is a pretty good competitor.

STEP FIFTEEN: You've made it to the last and most important step- SMELL GREAT! Burberry Her (the pink cap) is my personal all-time favourite. It trends on Tiktok for a reason and is sold at a reasonable price, especially for such a high-end perfume.
