Rare Beauty Concealer doesn’t get enough credit, but it’s honestly the only product that really hides my hyperpigmentation. I’ve had mine for ages and I’m still using the first one I purchased because a little goes a LONGGGG way.

Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer
blush
I love this blush it’s so flattering on my skin tone and very pigmented. I only need a little to achieve that natural sun-kissed glow in the summer. I can also add more for a more dramatic look.
Blush Makeup: Liquid, Powder and Cream
This blush has such pretty colours and even though it’s not a liquid blush, it doesn’t dry out your skin at all!
BUTTERMELT BLUSH - NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP
This blush gives you a BEAUTIFUL shine and highlight. Has to be my favourite powder blush!
Baked Blush
Perfect blush for a light makeup day especially going to the beach or for a swim and sun-kissed look!
On-the-Glow Blush - Tinted Moisture Stick
Love this powder blush, the colours are so pretty and it has the perfect amount of pigment!
Blusher Reloaded Lovestruck
This blush made me fall in love with blush. I didn’t use blush that much before but now I use it EVERYDAY. Bubbleband is such a cute colour, it’s so pigmented and beautiful!
Fenty Cheeks Suede Powder Blush
powders
Love putting this in my purse when I’m on the go for quick makeup touch ups. Even comes with a built in mirror and compartment for a powder puff!
Fit Me matte poreless powder
Pores where? Not here! I have been using this powder for almost two years and I don’t think I’ve finished even half of it. Everyday essential to blur your pores and leave your makeup on for the whole day.
Fit Me loose finishing powder
Buy. Now. I love how it sets my makeup in place but doesn’t even give that cakey powder effect where you can tell I’m wearing powder.
Halo Glow Loose Setting Powder
Great, basic powder that does everything it needs to do. Love using it for bright under eye looks!
COTY Airspun Loose Face Powder - Translucent
setting spray
You truly don’t need any primer with this because your makeup will NOT go anywhere. This dewy setting spray leaves you with a glowy look for the whole day just with a few sprays.
Make It Last Dewy - Dewy Finish Setting Spray
This is one of the first setting sprays I use and constantly go back to. I love the dewy finish it gives you with the amazing coconut smell. It also hydrates your skin!!
Dewy Coconut Setting Spray Mist
You NEED it. That’s all I have to say.
On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray | ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr
lip products
This has to be my favourite lip gloss ever. The shine and shimmer, the way it hydrates and lasts, everything is perfect. I have 3 and will continue to buy more.
Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer
This inexpensive lip gloss is so good I love the shimmer it gives and the hydration I feel on my lips.
Lip Lifter Gloss with Hyaluronic Acid
I absolutely love this lip gloss, my lips are never this shiny with any other lip gloss and it doesn’t feel sticky on my lips. It’s also incredibly cheap.
Lip Gloss – NICKA K NEW YORK
I love this lip plumper, it’s one of the first ones I used and it’s perfect for a little plump but not too much. I also love the little shimmer it gives and the pretty shades they have.
Mineral Wear® Diamond Lip Plumper
I LOVE this lip gloss. It’s so inexpensive and the amount it has is so good. It also has to have the best applicator ever, maximum lip coverage.
Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss
I love this lip plumping pen, and I absolutely love the cooling effect it has on my lips while effectively plumping them. It’s so glossy and the colour is so pigmented!
Pout Clout Lip Plumping Pen
I usually don’t use lip liners because they’re not very pigmented on my skin tone but this one I absolutely LOVE. Especially the colour brownie pie. Absolute Perfection.
Lip Liner
I love using this eye pencil as a lip liner because it has that neutral/cool-toned brown instead of the reddish brown every other lip liner has. It’s also so creamy and easy to use.
long lasting eye pencil
I love this lip gloss, especially the applicator. I love bigger applicators because it’s WAAYYY easier to use compared to other, smaller applicators. It also lasts surprisingly long since you don’t need a lot of lip gloss to have your lips moisturize...
Lip Gloss, Lip Oil and Lip Stain
mascara
This has to be the best mascara ever. I am not joking when I say my lashes look nonexistent but when I use telescopic it adds so much. And the compliments I get! Definitely pair with lash paradise for volume.
Telescopic Intense Lash Length Original Mascara - L'Oréal Paris
This mascara is the BEST for volume AND length. A cheaper alternative than the two faced mascara many people love. I use this with telescopic and have achieve the best volume and length effect.
Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara Blackest Black
VOLUME, VOLUME, AND MORE VOLUME! That’s what you’re gonna get with this mascara!
Voluminous Original Mascara Blackest Black
highlighters
I use this highlighter everyday and I have barely put a dent in it, and I have a mini! I can use it on my brow bone, my nose, my inner eye corner, my cheeks and it will always look good. And it’s flattering on all skin types!
Benefit Cosmetics Dandelion Twinkle Shimmer Finish Powder Highlighter
This highlighter is so cheap and versatile! I love using this on the go, a little thing i can put in my bag when if I need a little touch up.

PRETTIEST HIGHLIGHTERS EVER. I absolutely love the pink one, and I’ve had it for a while and still haven’t hit pan!

Love this highlighter because of the effect it gives my skin, the lighter shade is more natural making my skin look hydrated and glowy!

Rich & Foiled 9-Pan Eyeshadow Artistry Palette
brows
I love this brow pencil it looks so natural and is so incredibly easy to use, it might be a little pricier but definitely worth it. I love how it also comes with a spoolie!
Goof Proof Brow Pencil
I genuinely half been using this for over two years and have only used about half. Mind you, I have the most uncooperative brows, they’re curly and unruly but this product still seems to tame them for the WHOLE day.

Use this for everything, contour, brows, highlighter, eyeshadow, just buy it. It’s so cheap too!
Rich & Foiled 9-Pan Eyeshadow Artistry Palette
primers
The grip this has is actually wild. I don’t even need to use a lot and my makeup doesn’t go ANYWHERE. I often don’t use setting spray with this cause I don’t even need it!
Power Grip Primer
I love how it already smooth my skin looks with this, and built in sunscreen? Immediate buy.
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Mattifying Face Primer
contours
This is a great dupe, I think even better because the packaging isn’t as messy and doesn’t spill everywhere. I love the glow it gives while sculpting my face.
Halo Glow Liquid Contour Wand
I love how easy this product is to use, especially when I first started wearing makeup it was very easy to contour my face with this when I usually found it hard. I also love the highlighter!
MegaGlo Dual-Ended Contour Stick
Use this for everything, contour, brows, highlighter, eyeshadow, just buy it. It’s so cheap too!
Rich & Foiled 9-Pan Eyeshadow Artistry Palette
