My holy grail makeup products! I love full coverage but still “natural” looking and long lasting makeup. Here are some of the products I have found to work amazing on me that I keep repurchasing ! (My skin-type is oily/combo with redness) A little about me: I love wearing makeup, whether it’s full glam or soft (I try to do clean girl makeup but I love full coverage.) I like wearing makeup that lasts and is matte since I have oily skin & redness. I look for products that are long lasting, affordable or worth investing into. I work somewhere where I do shipment mostly in a hot area, so I know what products work if you decide to wear makeup while breaking a sweat 😅

My all time favourite makeup products!! I consistently use all of these and they have been life changing. Ive struggled my whole life with acne and other skin problems and these products allow me to wear makeup that looks amazing even with my skin issues!
