As someone who only wears makeup a few times a week—usually once for work and on the weekends—I’ve realised I don’t need a full drawer of products. Just a few essentials are enough to freshen up my look! I like to keep my routine quick and simple, wi...

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...

Cheek and Lip

My favourite blushes, lip liners, and glosses for that pop of colour.

Wooden lip pencil with a creamy crayon like texture. I use the Berry colour for my light to medium skin to line my lips. I like how I can sharpen the pencil to reduce plastic waste.

Received this as a gift and I love the chic design and refillable container. The cream lasts forever though so don’t know when my next shade will be! I like using the same shade on my lips and cheeks so having a product that can do both is so conveni...

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.

Long lasting stain colour! Love popping this on in the morning while I do my skincare and it adds colour to my lips that lasts the whole day. You’ll still need to add lipstick or lipgloss on top to making your lips more even but I like that even thou...

My favourite eyebrow pencils, mascaras and lash serums.

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 applicat...

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.
