Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer
Brows
Sharp, precise, and natural. I love this pencil for filling in gaps without heavy brow glue grind. The spoolie blends it out so it looks like hair, not paint.
Pro tip: Use light strokes in the middle-brow; feather thinner at tail ends for realism.
Medium Brown Brow Wiz Precision Eyebrow Pencil - Anastasia Beverly Hills | Ulta Beauty
Precision in pencil form. Gives that microbladed effect without the commitment — buildable, blendable, and bulletproof.
Pro Tip: Use feather strokes, then blend with spoolie for a “real hair” finish.
Viral for a reason. Lengthens, lifts, and keeps lashes curled from sunrise to afterparty.
Pro Tip: Apply one coat, wait 30 seconds, then go again for max drama
Medium Gimme Brow+ Tinted Volumizing Eyebrow Gel - Benefit Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Eyes
Vibrant shades that play well from day to night. The pigmentation is rich without needing too much primer. I use it when I want to turn a neutral outfit into a statement.
Style tip: Matte mid-tones in crease + shimmer on lid = effortless glam.
Pulp Fantasy Eyeshadow Palette - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
Your everyday glam palette — neutrals that blend like butter with just enough shimmer to play.

Inky precision that never skips. Sharp wings, graphic lines, or tightlining — she does it all.
Pro Tip: Store tip-down to keep it juicy.

The cult classic that still delivers volume like no other. Thick, full, and flirt-proof.
Pro Tip: Wiggle from base to tip for instant lift.
Black Travel Size Better Than Sex Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara - Too Faced | Ulta Beauty
When I need drama and length, this mascara delivers. It lifts, separates, and holds curl — even through humidity. My go-to when I wear lashes without false ones.
Style tip: Wiggle at base, then sweep up; two coats for full effect.
Blackest Black Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
Cheeks
A little dot goes a long way. Blends like silk, wears like confidence. That radiant flush every “clean girl” look needs.

Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
The icon that defined pink-peach perfection. Adds just enough shimmer to fake 8 hours of sleep.
Pro Tip: Pop it high on cheeks for that lifted glow.
Powder Blush - Orgasm
Glassy glow that looks like good lighting — always on. Zero glitter, just liquid light pressed into powder.
Pro Tip: Dab on cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid’s bow.
Champagne Powder Highlighter: Hollywood Glow Glide Highlighter
Sheer, dreamy, and buildable. Like watercolor for your face — effortless and editorial.

Lips
High-shine luxury that actually hydrates. Plumps, glosses, and gives that soft-lip moment.
