best lipliners ♡
KIKO lip liners, especially the ones from the Creamy Colour Comfort collection, are hands down some of the best drugstore lipliners. I have a particular appreciation for the shade 21 since it is the PERFECT dupe for CT Iconic N*de.
Creamy Colour Comfort Lip Liner - Shade 21 / Cinnamon
as you can see on the picture I provided, this lip liner in the shade 23 / light mauve is a discreet pinkish mauve color that goes well for a n*de yet “present" type of look. it does look quite saturated, so not the n*de pink you are expecting. but i...
Creamy Colour Comfort Lip Liner - Shade 23 / Light Mauve
the most perfect neutral for any lip combo. and i mean it. it's neutral, it's medium contrast, it has a long lasting power… buy it before someone gets the last one ! (not joking because they run out FAST)
Smart Fusion Lip Pencil - Shade 33
the shade soft spoken from NYX's suede matte lip liners is a good neutral that will pair well with any neutral leaning lipstick and / or gloss.
Suede Matte Lip Liner - Shade 04 / Soft Spoken
this one is famous for a reason. the shade 33 is versatile, long lasting and one of the most loved even by the KIKO employees I had a chat with. its versatility lies in the fact that the formula blends well with any other product, whether from this r...
Smart Fusion Lip Pencil - Shade 33 / Light Rosy Brown
best lipglosses ♡
my FAVORITE shade of the 3D hydra lipglosses for fall and neutral lip combos. i've been wearing it for years ! it's a light brown that does not lean warm at all, and is translucent enough so that you can put it on top of a lipstick. i like to wear it...
3D Hydra Lipgloss - Shade 20
such a nice color and perfect to top any lip combo, especially the cool toned ones !
3D Hydra Lip Gloss 51 - Limited edition

Mineral Wear® Diamond Lip Plumper - Shade Diamond Marquise
best liquid & cream blushes ♡
the shade dusty rosé is a warmer pink, that blends quite well and actually reminds me a bit of the shade happy from the soft pinch blushes collection by rare beauty. even though happy is cool toned, the shade dusty rosé from elf has the same amount o...
Camo Liquid Blush - Shade Dusty Rosé
best powder blushes ♡
it's no surprise that this blush is on this list. since its release, it has become a drugstore blush staple and deserves its place here. well-pigmented, this blush in shade 02 / butta cup is indeed a blush with cool undertones, quite saturated and bu...
NYX Buttermelt Blush - Powder Blush - Shade 02 / Butta Cup
best bronzers ♡
one of the most popular drugstore bronzers for a reason. the shade sunkissed is the perfect medium bronzer that flatters most skin tones.
Matte Monoi Butter Bronzer - Shade Matte Sunkissed Bronzer
that bronzer literally broke the internet during its release years ago. and for a reason. buildable, long lasting power, no orange stains on your skin… one of if not the best drugstore bronzer at the moment. my favorite shade is the shade buttacup, t...
Buttermelt Bronzer - Shade Buttacup
best highlighters ♡
this highlighter will last you literal years - performs just as good as high end ones. i like to use it on my eyelids (inner corner or full eyelids), but since it is shimmery and not glittery, I also tend to put it above my lips or on my lips after l...
Makeup Revolution Reloaded Highlighter Just My Type
best eyeshadow palettes ♡
my favorite every day palette ! this is the 42 shades version, not the most practical but a great staple to have at home. i can certify you, as a fully cool toned person, it WORKS for cool undertones, even though it is presented as a neutral. run don...
Neutral 42 Colour Palette - Beauty Bay
the smaller version of the neutral 42 colour palette. i brought this one with me on vacation and managed to do such pretty everyday and smokey eye makeups with it ! it doesn't have any shimmer shade, but an highlighter will replace that just fine. if...
