I first came across this at a makeup workshop where the artist swore by it—and I totally get the hype! It’s a beautiful moisturiser and a solid priming base for makeup. It’s meant to be multi-use for other purposes too (like an express mask, makeup r...

I went to a makeup class and the makeup artist recommended this setting powder. It blurs my skin and sets my makeup really nicely. I love how affordable it is for the size! The container isn’t the best though since it's quite big and the lid is weird...

Non-sticky formula that glides on smoothly. Gives a great pop of colour to my lips and is good for a neutral and natural look (isn't matte, looks hydrated, but isn't super shiny and glossy). I love the shades Bare Grape and Nucadamia.

I love how skinny this pencil is which helps define my brows in the exact places I want. I like how the formula isn’t too creamy or thick so it gives me control as I want to layer up the colour slowly. Recommend moisturising your skin before applic...

This is my favourite mascara! I love how it’s also a lash serum to promote growth. :) The formula is a bit wetter, helping it glide easily onto my lashes without tugging. It turns tacky and then dries matte.
