As a makeup artist, I’m always drawn to brands that combine thoughtful formulas with products that genuinely perform, and Makeup by Mario is definitely one to explore. What I appreciate is the focus on blending, dimension, and enhancing the features rather than masking them. From sculpting and complexion products to eyeshadows and lip essentials, the range offers so many possibilities for creating everything from soft, natural makeup to more polished, editorial looks. These are the products I’d keep in my kit or recommend to anyone looking to refine their technique and get more out of their makeup routine ✨
After experimenting with makeup for years and years, I realized the look that is suitible for EVERY situation and EVERY face and skin type is the fresh-face, ‘no makeup’ makeup look. Here are my favourite products to achieve this look!

Doing my own nails is a source of fun and relaxation for me, but I also don’t have a ton of free time. I like quick nail care and dry nail polish strips for easy manicures with no curing or dry time.

The greatest compliment in your 50’s is when people think I look younger than I am. I must be doing something right! I’m not hugely into makeup and massive routines but these are what work for me. Until the next hormonal change right?!
As a girl with thick, curly hair, it's taken me a while to find products and a routine that works for me. I have finally nailed it, so I'm sharing my go-to curly hair products! I switch between cheaper, high-street products, and more high-end product, so I have included them all.
Hair care products (Budged friendly) for the most part. I know people always recommend expensive high end products but in this case I am here to tell you that you don’t need all that. Think of our hair when we were younger sharing cheap hair products with our parents. Hair was the healthiest it had ever been
My skin has change so much in the last 5 years. Makeup tends to settle into my fine lines and pores. These are products I use daily to make my makeup last all day.
I love anything clean. What we put in and on our bodies is what comes through in overall health. I also don’t have much time for makeup and like a natural look. These products are in my line up that I can use from super basic to full makeup.
The routine that SAVED my curls after straightening for 4 years every day + dying and bleaching multiple times. Some of these products I don't believe are the best for long term usage, but I found them extremely beneficial in my hair healing journey.
From hydrating balms to long-lasting lip stains, these are the lip products I actually love. Smooth, wearable and perfect for every look. No sticky finishes, just gorgeous lips.

I have wavy/curly hair! I lost a lot of my curl pattern from damage in my teen years, but with some care, it’s coming back now and getting curlier with every wash day!

Here is my current morning skincare routine for someone in their 30s who has normal to combination skin. My aim is to have an even skin tone and hydrated skin throughout the day with light or heavy makeup. It needs to work for both scenarios!
When I was younger, no one taught me how to take care of my skin. I was a minimalistic when it came to skincare. I thought moisturizer would be enough. Heck, I went some time without any moisturizer! (I don’t recommend) I also never wore sunscreen which I also do not recommend! No matter the age, always wear sunscreen!
In my mid-late 20’s I realized I needed to start taking care of my skin NOW! The goal is to age gracefully, not to look younger. ❤️
These products here are what I found worked the best for my combo skin. ( Dry skin with Oily T Zone) ❤️

This is my everyday makeup rotation with all the products I actually use depending on my skin, mood, and how much effort I want to put in. Nothing here is just for show, it’s everything I genuinely reach for to build my base, add dimension, and do my everyday routine. Some days I go super light with just skin tint, concealer, blush, and lip balm, and other days I do a full face with more coverage and glow. I like having options that range from natural to a bit more glam while still looking like skin.
I have struggled for a long time with acne and redness in my skin. After using these products for just over two months I have seen very noticeable differences in the period of time it takes for spots to disappear, and the amount of acne I was getting. Because this is acne-prone safe and ideal for oily skin, these will not block pores or irritate your skin (as long as you use them as recommended).
I have really stubborn acne scars from years of horrible hormonal acne. Recently I was able to brighten them up significantly with the help of these amazing products and I am so excited to share the routine with you! 🥰

With increased shipping costs from the States, I've been trying to replace many of my most used items with products that are made in Canada (and a bonus if they are eco-concious too!).
Here are some of the best Canadian products that are now in my daily rotations - some I love even more than the items they replaced!
If you have oily skin, these products are going to help you so much. I’ve been going between these products in each section for quite some time now and I won’t ever not love them. They’re mostly affordable but the ones that aren’t are definitely worth the price
As someone with sensitive skin, these are the products used as a part of my daily and weekly skin regimen to keep me clear, smooth, and hydrated.

Como antropóloga y migrante que trabajó y vivió en desierto, nevado, selva, pantanal y más, a mis 41 creé mi propia lista de productos favoritos. No importa donde esté, me funcionan, me hacen sentir calma y limpia, y me regresan a mi cuerpo.
WILL ADD TO AS I FIND NEW PRODUCTS ---- Okay, so I started doing my own gel nails at home after having acrylics for like 8 years on and off. I started this journey when my acrylic retention was AWFUL I would lose nails days after getting them done, I determined this was probably from my nails being soooo damaged. I am a always have to have my nails done girly though so I needed to find a solution and paying to get just a gel polish done seemed excessive, SO I learned how to do them myself and let me tell you it was rough at first but slowly I figured out how to do it, with the help of tik tok university and now here we are. I am a long nail girl through and through so I learned how to do Gel- X at the start of this year and really put an emphasis on nail health first and foremost ( I know doing any nails is not the best, but I have found this is better for my nails than acrylics and still allows them to grow and be healthy) I am gonna try to consolidate this list and order it the way of application but i LOVE talking nails so if you have any questions at all feel free to reach out to me!
Hello! this is my full face makeup routine listed in order of use! i’ve struggled with dry sensitive skin and hormonal acne for a long time and spend a lot of trial and error to find a makeup routine that doesn’t dry my skin out and cause a flare up. this routine can be tweaked into a low effort daily routine by cutting out the primer, liquid highlight, concealer, liquid blush, and contour.
After a cancer diagnosis a few years ago, I strive to use mostly low tox and clean products. I'm not perfect, but I use the app Yuka to help make decisions on products I use every day!
