LIPS
this shade is so so pretty like a warm, juicy tint that makes the lips look full and glowy. isn’t sticky at all and feels super smooth. i wear it on its own or over liner.
Lifter Gloss Lip Gloss With Hyaluronic Acid
gotten so many compliments on this! gives that effortless soft rose glow. perfect for everyday or layering with blush. glides smooth, never patchy. i’m on my 4th one!
this highlighter gives that soft golden peach sheen that hits every time. no chunky glitter, just smooth, glowy skin. looks expensive but it’s under $10! dupe for way pricier ones.
WET N WILD MEGAGLO™ HIGHLIGHTING POWDER-PRECIOUS PETALS
SETTING SPRAY
my makeup does not budge with this! gives a soft, blurred finish and keeps everything locked in all day even in heat. feels high-end but it's drugstore. i always repurchase.

PRIMER
this is a must if you have oily skin like me. grips my makeup like glue while the niacinamide keeps you smooth, snatched, and shine-free.

MASCARA
this gives me crazy length and separation without clumps. perfect for a lifted, doll-eye look. stays put all day but still easy to remove. my go-to when I want lashes to pop without falsies.
L’Oreal Paris instant lift washable mascara
waterproof and does not move! it holds a curl all day, even in heat or humidity, and still gives that long, lifted look. no smudging, no flakes.
fave go-to lashes! fluffy, lightweight, and give that soft glam look without doing too much. they always pull the look together.

FOUNDATION
gives that natural matte finish. i use the shade 355 which is rich and warm. perfect for deep skin tones with golden undertones. it holds up well all day and looks like real skin.
FIT ME MATTE + PORELESS FOUNDATION MAKEUP 355
gives medium coverage with a natural finish that’s not too matte or shiny. i use the shade praline which is perfect for deeper skin tones with warm undertones. it feels lightweight and lasts all day without needing constant touch-ups.
COLOR PERFECT LIQUID MAKEUP, PRALINE
i use this as my mixer with the Fit Me. this shade is in crème brulee which helps lighten and warm things up just enough when I need a better match. the formula blends easily and doesn’t mess with the finish.

CONCEALER
