i used to deal with so much random redness until i started using these korean toner pads. they instantly calm down my active breakouts and give my dry patches a massive wave of hydration. i love how easy they are to just swipe on and go.
HANYUL - Artemisia Soothing Toner 60 Pads
i am always skeptical of anti-aging products, but i’ve been using this toner nightly and my skin has never felt smoother. it has a plant-derived retinol alternative, and it's officially become a staple in my nighttime routine.
INNISFREE - Retinol Green Tea PDRN™ Toner for Smoothing & Firming
if you have oily skin or a crazy T-zone, you absolutely need this in your life. it completely controls my excess oil and boosts my skin texture, making it look so much clearer. plus, it’s only $10 which is an absolute steal for how well it works.
THE ORDINARY (THEORDINARY.COM) - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum
one of my favorite budget toners: this is under $15! this formula removes dead skin cells to brighten dull skin and tighten pores.
THE ORDINARY - Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
an instant hydration boost for dry skin. i use this multiple times throughout the day.
SUMMER FRIDAYS (SUMMERFRIDAYS.COM) - Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist
an oil-free, lightweight green tea sunscreen serum perfect for sensitive skin. i use it daily, and it's never broken me out (and i have easily irritated skin!)
INNISFREE - Daily UV Invisible Barrier Sunscreen Serum Broad Spectrum SPF 47 with Green Tea 50 ml
Acne Treatments & Spot Care
a holy grail of mine: it's my go-to spot treatment. it fully reduces blemish size in just one hour, and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin.
SEPHORA - Sulfur Spot Treatment
acne stickers are fun for me to use (since i think they're cute!). these stickers that pull out impurities and reduce redness overnight. i love the strawberry shape :)
Rhode - Spotwear Hydrocolloid Stickers
this is my favorite toner for acne-prone skin. i notice that consistent use makes a noticeable difference in my skin clarity.
INNISFREE - Daily Gentle Retinol Salicylic Toner Pads
Blushes
i accidentally used too much the first time because the pigment is insane! now i use literally one tiny dot and it melts into my cheeks perfectly. this bottle will last me until 2030 (in the best way!)
RARE BEAUTY - Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
this is easily my #1 powder blush recommendation and one of the highest-rated clean beauty blushes at sephora. it feels completely weightless and never looks cakey on the skin.
SAIE - SuperSuede Baked Powder Blush
if you prefer a dewy finish, this is my favorite clean blush. it's easy to apply directly to your cheeks and layers beautifully over powders without lifting your foundation.
SUMMER FRIDAYS (SUMMERFRIDAYS.COM) - Blush Butter Balm
Lip Products
this is easily my #1 lip balm, and that's saying something, since i always have chapped lips. the tints are gorgeous and give the appearance of actual makeup.
EADEM | Le Chouchou Lip Softening Balm
my absolute go-to for nights out. it gives the most ridiculous high-shine look under restaurant lighting, and shockingly, i don't have to reapply it every twenty minutes.
FENTY BEAUTY | Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
another must-have. gisou rocks as a brand - they use certified clean ingredients and real honey. sometimes i even use this as a lip gloss.
GISOU | Honey Glaze Collagen Therapy Lip Mask - Default
i have aggressively rubbed my lips and eaten a full meal, and this stain literally refused to leave my face. It is absolute witchcraft.
HUDA BEAUTY - Lip Contour Stain
i love this hidden gem. the formula is so long lasting. it stays very shiny, smells amazing, and protects your skin barrier all day.
SINCERELY YOURS (SINCERELY-YOURS.COM) - Sugarcoat Gloss Soothing & Hydrating Lip Balm
this matte lip liner is one of my favorite lip products. the best part is the dual-ended brush: this makes it so much easier to blend on the go.
MAKEUP BY MARIO (MAKEUPBYMARIO.COM) - Ultra Suede Sculpting Lip Pencil
Highlighters
***ON SALE FOR $30 (25% OFF!)*** this viral highlighter comes in such a chic luxury compact. it love that it give me a smooth, blinding glow without looking powdery at all.
ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS - Glow Seeker Highlighter
this is my favorite highlighter stick! i love that the formula is clean, and it gives such a dewy glow.
Milk Makeup - Highlighter Stick
i love this liquid highlighter because you can apply it anywhere for a customized glow. the coverage is completely buildable and really makes your skin shine.
Hyper Shine Lite Pigment
Face Masks
my best friend kept bugging me to try these, and now that i have, my skin barrier has never looked healthier. i will never go back to life without them.
BIODANCE - Caviar PDRN Dual Gel Toner Pads
another top k-skincare product. my mom swears by this, and she's right to. it contains vitamin c, so it does wonders to brighten the skin.
HANYUL - Yuja Brightening Sleeping Mask
when i wake up with zero time and my skin looks completely texturized, i throw this on right before my makeup to fake a full 8 hours of sleep. these are game changers for me.
DR. JART+ - Cryo Rubber Firming Peptide Korean Face Mask
these collagen eye masks are viral for a reson. i actually use them in other places on my face for an instant brightness boost.
BIODANCE - Collagen Peptide Eye Patches
my holy grail for tackling deep buildup. i try to use this weekly.
INNISFREE - Volcanic AHA Pore Clearing Clay Mask 2X
i'm obsessed with how this is both a mask and a cleanser. hello efficiency!
WHIPPED - Strawberry Vanilla Face Mask Cleanser+Niacinamide
