hello everyone! i compiled a list of all of my basic necessities for when i do my makeup. this is for when i go to work or just need something light so i don't look like i haven't slept in 80 yrs.
my makeup style tends to go towards more asian style...

my skin prep .ᐟ
i make sure to do this every single time after i wash my face
i put this on my forehead and chin as that's where i have the most blemishes. i do have the green toner pads and put those on my cheeks, as i have redness.
Madecassoside Blemish Pad - MEDIHEAL | Ulta Beauty
i've been stuck with this moisturizer for the longest, helped me through everything
Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap - COSRX | Ulta Beauty
best sunscreen for my skin, for sure
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50mL*2ea (Twin pack) | OLIVE YOUNG Global
first steps .ᐟ
for my skin, this is the best base i have. i don't have serious acne, so i don't wear foundation. but i can do my more glam-ish makeup that has foundations in it, if y'all are interested in that.
best primer for me, personally. it keeps my makeup on for hourssss.
since this is a more natural look, i dab this under my eyes and any places i see redness, which is the area around my nose.
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
while i wait for the primer to get tacky, i do my brows !
i also use this as a contour , i feel like eyebrow products have way better cooler undertones than actual contours. (i contour once i put my concealer on, though)
Light Brown Lock on Liner & Brow Cream - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
base .ᐟ
again, this is just concealer for now. but if you were to put foundation on, i'd probably do it in the same fashion.
love love this concealer, it has never failed me, and the consistency is not too thick or too liquidy. i also go a shade darker instead of going light, because i don't like the highlighting of my bags. i like the match!
i add a little bit of blue concealer to mix with my regular concealer, because it gets to my perfect shade i feel. i think i have slight olive undertone, but anyways, this is my true shade if i hit the correct ratios.
Blue Camo Color Corrector - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
my favorite setting spray. i use a sponge and spray it with this setting spray when i blend concealer and foundation. idk, it stays so much better for me.
(also once i start powdering and stuff, i will spray with this to melt everything down)
Stay All Night Micro-Fine Setting Mist - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
if i really really cannot afford to have my makeup dissipate, i will use this instead of the elf. both work great !
3.3 oz Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray - Charlotte Tilbury | Ulta Beauty
i don't bake or anything, i just go over the parts where i have concealed and tap a bit with the flat part of my sponge. then, i use the setting spray to melt everything together
100 Translucent Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
eyes .ᐟ
this is my eyeliner and mascara. i don't do an eyeshadow for my daily looks
if you have southeast/east asian eyes or similar eye profile, my lifesaver for my eyelashes. this curler is a bit more flatter and gets to the crevicessss. pricey but once you get it, you'll never have to get it again (unless you lose it)
Eyelash Curler - Shiseido | Ulta Beauty
as someone with asian lashes, the ones that are weak af and just go down, this is the one that has truly worked for me. i also love the wand. my wand has like curved severely but i love it, if you can get a slight curve [ this: ) ], it does wonders
Black Telescopic Original Waterproof Mascara - L'Oréal | Ulta Beauty
i loveeee dark brown eyeliners, if you want a more natural look, get a dark brown liner
CLIO Sharp So Simple Waterproof Pencil Liner 04 DARK BROWN
a more technical aspect of my eyeliner routine but this is the tail (?) part of the eyeliner, jessica vu has great details of eyeliner and learned from her
Heroine Make Waterproof Eyeliner 0.1mm Tip
pink .ᐟ
my blush or lippies, just my recent ones. bc we can be here forever if i put them all on here .ᐟ
i'll do this one to keep a neutral theme. i do this in fata of my cheek area instead of like a lifting effect
Dasique Blending Mood Cheek #04 Beige Knit Vegan
will forever contour my lips with a nude shade, i slightly overline with this to give a plumpish effect to my lips
i finish off with this, did g.a. for an ateez concert in london, waited outside for hrssss, went through the rain, and my makeup after the concert was perfectionnnnn
Sport Fix Extra Hold Makeup Fixing Spray - Revolution Beauty | Ulta Beauty
this is the other option ! i love this one, too, if you can't get the other one
