base
after skincare i like gently patting this into my skin evenly, it makes for a good base, no pilling! i've been using this for years on my acne-prone skin
Face Primer - e.l.f.
i'm gonna be honest, i use this concealer as a light foundation, and the best part is you don't need a lot. it blends well with a beauty blender but a brush works perfect too if you're looking for more coverage in specific areas - if i do want a more...
E.l.f. Concealers & Neutralizing Face Makeup

Wet And Wild Eyeshadow
my current favourite mascara, it does NOT move all day and the wand is perfect for application on the top and bottom lashes, for removing it i usually go for an oil-based makeup remover or a cleansing balm
Maybelline New York: SKY HIGH MASCARA
i use an eyelash curler before using my sky high mascara and it is one of the best recent changes i have made in my makeup routine, both work together to keep my lashes looking full without the need of extensions
Eyelash Curlers: Beauty & Personal Care
lippies
im gonna be honest, this is where i splurge a bit, but to me it is totally worth it, i have these lip glosses in two shades, a darker pink and a lighter neutral, they go well with lip liners and over tints or lipstick, an all time favourite for me!
