IMPORTANT NOTE is that since this is a refillable pen, you have to buy the pen and ink cartridge separately, which can be expensive at first but if it's within your budget i would definitely recommend!

would you believe me if i said this mascara once lasted me 3 days? as an asian girl my lashes stick downwards and are so hard to keep curled, this mascara is one of my ride or dies! you can optionally pair this with the mascara primer from the same b...
NOTE: you will need an oil based cleanser/mascara remover to wash this off, it won't come off otherwise!!

skin tints, blushes, bronzers, what have you!
Β
this blush blends beautifully, has lots of different shades plus a dewy version if you're into more of a glowy look! it's pricier but a little goes a long way with this product so definitely worth it.Β
with cream makeup like this, i find the best way to apply it is to deposit a bit on the back of your hand, buff it out with a dense brush then apply!

if you like the huda beauty setting powder, this is a more affordable alternative!! i alternate between the translucent and the pink shade, but they also have some deeper shades (i also love how big the powder puff is!)
wet n wild Photo Focus Loose Setting Powder
Β
NOTE: i recommend making sure your skin is well moisturised before putting this on so it doesn't cling to any dry patches!Β
this is so lightweight and perfect for everyday wear, ESPECIALLY in hot weather! even when you sweat for hours, if i wear this it gives me the most skin-like glow at the end of the day - doesn't look oily at all. truly a holy grail product for me!
Revlon Illuminance Tinted Serum
Β
this foundation has a medium buildable coverage, it's suitable for oily/combo skin and is a good balance of glowy-matte. and the most important thing is that it LASTS IN HOT HUMID WEATHER
the only drawback is that the shade range is very limited, to my melanated girls i would recommend the revlon illuminance serum tint!

ELF Power Grip Primer

finding out the difference between setting and fixing spray made SUCH. A. DIFFERENCE. setting spray (like this one!) essentially melts your makeup together into one layer, while fixing spray (like the one/size spray) locks your makeup into place as t...

Urban Decay All Nighter Waterproof Setting Spray
Β
NOTE: i don't use this on a daily basis, just when i have an event or if i know i'll be out all day!
i've seen people recommend the kryolan fixing spray as well, but that one is too heavy for my liking. this product will give you everything kryolan can but without feeling like your face just got covered in hairspray. this product helps me lock in EV...
