Foundation
This foundation is a classic among makeup lovers. It is such a good product. I struggle with hyperpigmentation and it covers all my blemishes while simultaneously leaving an airbrushed, skin like finish.
This foundation is great for those who prefer a skin-like finish but still want good coverage. ✨

Vol 1 Blushed Duo - Juvia's Place | Ulta Beauty
Can't put into words how pretty this blush is on the skin. Also to my fellow melanated queens, don't be afraid of pink blush! The idea that darker skinned women can only wear orange, purple or red blush is FALSE.

So pretty!
