Truly the best powder to blur pores on your skin without being afraid of acne if worn for too long. This product isn’t specifically for Asians, it is a good product for everyone. Such a staple to your routine. It comes with a cute blue puff too!!

Using a small eyeshadow brush, I use this cool tone brown to contour my nose and add some color to my eyelids. With this applicator, it is very convenient to pick some up on a eyeshadow or concealer brush. These shades are very natural to real skin c...

These powders leave you looking radiant and like u have a glow from within. It’s a natural glow (good thing). These powders are expensive but don’t use up fast. I still have my ambient lighting palette from 2 years ago, and there isn’t even a dent.

Unfortunately the shade range is quite poor. But for light to medium skin tones there might be a good shade match there. I’m tan and found the best shade match I have with this skin tint. It’s very lightweight and perfect for the no makeup makeup day...

This was the first time I understood the concept of powder. Because this powder blurred my whole face. It became my favorite step in my makeup routine. If you’re heavy handed, this powder might not work for you. I personally like the matte finish tho...

Best bang for your buck. This pan is the size of your whole hand. Leaves a nice bronze to the skin without looking muddy. I really just like how big it is. It’s kinda of fun.

I love this product. It is the easiest product to blend ever. Especially while using the makeup by Mario F4 brush with it. You don’t have to worry about applying to much because it’s not that pigmented. But it’s enough to give you a natural bronze. A...

For an Asian girly with short eyelashes, THIS CURLER WORKKKSS. Eyelashes are curled at the root and able to stand up and hold even with mascara on. I never understood how eyelash curlers are different from each other until I invested in this one. Thi...

This has made cleaning my makeup brushes not take 10 hours. After I use a brush I just swirl it in this pot and wipe it on a towel. Easy, quick, and not a hassle.

This tool is perfect for separating eyelashes when you have accidentally put too much mascara on. It forgives the clumpy application and its rubber tips make it much easier.

These are a game changer to blending the concealer under your eyes. When I apply concealer, I first spread the product out with a concealer brush then dab this pad on top to ensure my under eyes are smooth before powder. Absolute fav.
