First step : Skin Prep!
The most important step to achieve an amazing base is to perfect your skin prep! This is what works best for me and hopefully it helps you out as well! (Make sure to wait about a minute between each product application for the best finish!)
I always wash my face in the morning after my shower and I prefer using this gentle foaming cleanser that leaves my skin feeling soft and clean from all the skin care products and serums that I had on all night.
1. PYUNKANG YUL - Low pH Centella Cleanser
After cleansing my skin, I apply the LANEIGE milky toner for a nice soothing feeling and to prep my skin for more products
2. LANEIGE Milky Toner with Ceramides and Peptides
MY FAVOURITE FACIAL SUNSCREEN!!! Smells soooo good! Spf is an important step to add into your skin prep so let me put you guys on. Amazingly lightweight you'll forget it's there, rubs so well into your skin with no white residue and does so well unde...
3. Hawaiian Tropic® Silk Hydration® FACE SPF 30
A really important part to getting that clean perfect base is moisturizer! I love using the LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturizer it makes my skin feel so smooth and plump!
4. LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream
The key to achieve an amazing glowy base is with this SAIE glowy super gel, in Starglow! When I don't go for a full beat I usually just use this as a primer and it works amazing. Sits so well under makeup and gives you that glow from within look. I'l...
SAIE - Glowy Super Gel-Illuminator
Again , the Refy primer is one of my favourite primers out there and it holds my base downnnnn. Also a favourite for a glowy base! I use this when I'm going for a full glam look to keep my makeup together and it does exactly that.
REFY - Glow and Sculpt Face Serum Primer with Niacinamide
Browssss
My brow routine! I alternate between these two concealers the most when it comes to carving my brows!
My newly found go-to brow pencil. Since my first use, im now on my 4th purchase! Seriously so good and comparable to the Refy brow pencil, which used to be my go-to before I tried this one and the NYX one is college girly budget friendly :)
NYX Professional Makeup Blade & Shade Brow Pencil
I alternate between my concealers when it comes to carving my brows and honestly what I end up picking simply just depends on my mood. The tower 28 one is never a bad choice and I usually end up going for this when im going for a lowkey, glowy type o...
TOWER 28 - Hydrating Serum Concealer
The Kosas creamy concealer is what I go for when I want that natural, lightweight no makeup-makeup look and don't want anything too heavy and noticeable when carving my brows, and this is such a good option when going for that!
KOSAS - Revealer Super Creamy Concealer
As for the brushes I use, I just get this set from Amazon and it does the job just fine. I mostly use the Angled Eye brow brush to do most of the carving and take the flat brush to blend it in.
5pcs Brush Kit
The Base + Nose contour
I love a good dewy but slightly matte base so It doesn't end up looking oily, and these are the products I use to achieve that!
Hands down my favourite foundation of all time! This foundation was what made me switch from cc creams, it's that good. Such a creamy and super buildable formula. You can go for light to heavy coverage as much as you see fit! Highly recommend. Though...
DIOR - Backstage Face & Body Foundation
After applying foundation, I always do some contouring to snatch my face and to give myself a DIY nose job :) I love using this one because of the built-in brush, simply such a good design idea and very convenient as well.
SoftSculpt® Shaping Stick
I recently started alternating and using this too faced sculpting stick and it works amazingly as well! Not to mention, the design is too die for! Sooo cute and it really does smell like actual chocolate.
TOO FACED- Chocolate Soleil Melting Bronzing & Sculpting Stick
My usual everyday concealer, it never disappoints. Has a nice creamy texture and despite the size it comes as, it lasted me a while before having to purchase another one.
NARS - Concealer Makeup: Liquid, Cream, Stick | NARS Cosmetics
A good budget friendly alternative which is available in most drugstores! so when i'm running out of my usual Nars concealer and don't have the time to go to Sephora I do a quick run to my local drugstore to secure this one.
ELF - Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster
My current blush obsession! After blending out the concealer, I do about two dots of this blush (Which Is all you need since this is a pretty pigmented product but it's also quite buildable, so start with a little and add as you see fit.) to the high...
HUDA BEAUTY BLUSH - Shade Cotton Candy
Setting ( Spray and Powder)
After blending out the blush, I go in with the C.T setting spray and this spray has been my daily setting spray since the day I first got it, nothing will ever replace this for me it works soo good with my skin and holds my makeup so well. However, L...
CHARLOTTE TILBURY - Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray
As always, I have a more budget friendly alternative. When I've run out of my usual setting spray and don't have the time to run to Sephora. I settle for this Nyx setting spray which is available at most drug stores and it does the job just fine.
NYX - Marshmellow Matte Setting Spray
Another budget friendly alternative, I love this one as well since it's what I used when I first started makeup and it smells so good.
E.L.F - Dewy Coconut Setting Spray Mist
My favvvvv setting powder of all time. (I wait about a minute after spraying setting spray before I apply the setting powder) After trying this one for the first time, I knew there was no going back. Amazing formula with the cutest and most innovativ...
HUDA BEAUTY - Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder

After the setting powder application, I go over where I already put blush on but this time with a powdered blush to make it pop more. This step is optional but I like doing it to really set the liquid blush in place.
DIOR - Rosy Glow The Iconic Dior Blush
Finishing Touches
For the finishing touches I use the Benefit cookie highlighter and put some at the tip of my nose, the highest point of my cheeks and under the arch of my brows. For a visual example, go see the last picture.
BENEFIT- Cosmetics Cookie and Tickle Shimmer Finish Powder Highlighters
As usual this the budget friendly alternative I recommend using :)
