FACE BASE
I only recommend base products that look natural, last all day, and don’t clog pores — these are my top picks:
My go-to for events and busy days! The buildable, oil-free formula stays put even in Batangas humidity. It evens out skin tone without looking heavy, and works well for normal, oily, and combination skin types. No caking or separating even after 8+ h...
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation
A lifesaver for dark circles and blemishes! The creamy texture blends seamlessly, and it brightens the under-eye area without creasing. I use shade “Custard” for medium skin with neutral undertones — it’s versatile enough for my skin tone.
Radiant Creamy Concealer
The best drugstore setting powder I’ve found! It blurs pores and controls shine on my T-zone without making skin look flat or dry. A little goes a long way — I tap off excess before applying with a fluffy brush.
Coty AIRSPUN Face Powder, Naturally Neutral
CHEEK COLOR & GLOW
I love cheek products that add warmth and radiance without looking over-the-top — these never disappoint:
A universal peachy-pink that gives a natural flush! The baked formula has subtle shimmer that adds a healthy glow, and it lasts for hours. Looks amazing on fair to deep skin tones — my go-to for everyday wear.
Milani Baked Blush Powder, Cruelty Free
My holy grail highlighter! It adds a soft golden glow that catches light beautifully — not too glittery or harsh. I apply it to cheekbones, nose bridge, and cupid’s bow for a subtle lift. Works on all skin tones!
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter
The perfect matte bronzer for contouring and adding warmth! It’s not too orange or cool-toned — just a natural-looking brown that mimics a sun-kissed glow. I use an angled brush to define my cheekbones and jawline.
Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face
EYE MAKEUP
I look for eye products that stay put and are easy to work with — these are my reliable faves:
A versatile palette I’ve used for years! The 12 rosy-pink shades (matte and shimmer) work for everything from soft daytime looks to dramatic evening glam. The pigment is great, and it doesn’t crease when set with primer.
Naked3 Eyeshadow Palette - Pigmented Rose Neutrals
The easiest liquid liner to use! The ultra-fine tip lets me create precise wings or thin lines, and it’s completely waterproof — no smudging even when I sweat or get caught in rain.
hypersharp extreme eyeliner p
It gives incredible volume and length without clumping or flaking. The curved wand coats every lash, and it’s easy to remove with makeup remover.
Voluminous Lash Paradise Washable Mascara
LIP PRODUCTS
I pick lip products that are comfortable to wear and last — these are my top choices:
A timeless classic! This blue-red matte lipstick is perfect for special occasions or when I want to make a statement. It lasts for hours, though I recommend using a lip liner and balm underneath to prevent dryness.
MAC Retro Matte Lipstick | Ruby Woo, All Fired Up, Dangerous & More
My go-to for a natural, plump-looking pout! The non-sticky formula adds a beautiful nude-pink shine, and it has a subtle minty tingle that makes lips look fuller. Works alone or over lipstick.
Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
Essential for preventing lipstick from feathering! This neutral brown shade matches most nude and pink lipsticks, and it defines lips beautifully. The creamy texture glides on easily without tugging.
