One of those affordable base products that makes it easy to get good coverage without spending a fortune. I especially like the creamy feel and the way it blends into the skin for a smooth-looking finish.

Such an easy option when I want a little definition without doing heavy contour. The liquid formula blends out quickly, making it great for both soft everyday makeup and a more sculpted look.

A pretty everyday gloss that adds shine without making the lip combo feel complicated. I love pairing it with a lip liner when I want that juicy, smooth-looking lip.

A good lip liner can completely change a lip combo, and these are great when you want definition before adding gloss or lipstick. Having different shades also makes it easy to create both natural and more defined look

The buttery texture is exactly what makes this blush so fun to use. It gives a strong pop of colour while still being buildable, so you can keep the look soft or turn it up for a more noticeable cheeks

This bronzer blends really easily once you work it into the skin. It can feel a little dry at first, but once blended, it gives such a natural-looking warmth without making the base look heavy. Definitely worth trying if you like an effortless bronze...

Good SPF is one of my favourite steps before makeup. Beauty of Joseon is a lovely option to explore if you prefer a lightweight-feeling sunscreen that layers nicely into a beauty routine.

This is such a popular affordable primer for creating a smooth base before makeup. The slightly grippy texture makes it a great pick when you want your base to look more put together.

A simple step for removing makeup and everyday buildup before getting into the rest of your skincare. I like having micellar water around because it makes the first step of cleansing quick and easy.
