Foundation & Concealers
I love how this foundation sits on the skin! I use shade Mont Blanc most of the year - perfect if you’re light to fair with a neutral skin tone!
Nars Light Reflecting Foundation
So, you too struggle with redness? This concealer will erase all of it so you can come with your foundation over it, no questions asked! Add it to your list, it’s inexpensive and does a stellar job.
Maybelline Colour Correcting Concealer - Green
Give me more of whatever is the magic in this bottle! Incredible concealer that goes a long way. I wear shade Lys Rose to brighten slightly.
Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer 13ml (Various Shades)
Contour & Bronze ☀️
Chef’s kiss for the formula!
Sephora Contouring Cream Stick
So, I have the darkest shade which gives me an amazing wet bronzed look! I sometimes mix it with my foundation or with my cream if I go bare faced for a more dewy and bronzed look.
Saie - Glowy Super Gel
Blushes 🌸
So, I have the Afterglow blush in Brazen and Aragon. Brazen is such a soft, peachy shade perfect for those with warm undertones and fair to medium skin tones! Aragon is definetly darker and I like to do the bronze and blush trick to frame my face! Su...
Afterglow Liquid Blush
Super nice powder blush! I have it in the shade Getting Butta. Remember to have a light hand with this one because it’s quite pigmented.
U Know Butta Buttermelt Pressed Powder Blush - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
Lippies 💋
I love this formula! And this is MY red lip moment. So soft and such a good feeling on the lips. I love the leather case as well. A real banger from Givenchy.
Le Rouge Interdit Intense Silk Lipstick
Wherever I am, I am carrying this lipgloss. It’s amazing! Beautiful shimmer, glossy, full lips in an instant!
Lip Perfector - Glow
Did you know this lippie has been used by Liv Taylor in Lord Of The Rings? A lip balm that lives in our minds rent free for real.
CLINIQUE | Almost Lipstick Black Honey - Batom
Mascara
The love I have for this mascara! It feels amazing from the brush to how it wears.
Pro tip: get the mini! It lasts up until you need to get a new one anyway.
Ilia Limitless Lash Mascara
It's a classic for a reason!
Lash Idôle Lash-Lifting & Volumizing Mascara - Lancôme | Sephora
I love a good tubing mascara. Practically it's waterproof unless you're in hot water hahaha
High Impact Zero Gravity™ Mascara - Clinique
Eyeshadows & Face Palettes
You need a basic sculpting eye palette. You just need it. I chose the one from Natasha Denona as you can’t beat the quality. The shade range is perfect and it’s a mini so you can easily take it everywhere!
NATASHA DENONA | Eyeshadow palette
So, I’ve had this palette and her sister for a few years now and I just love it! I would say this one more so as the shades are more toned down and more suitable for my colouring. I love the formulas of these shades and she continues to be a strong w...
Lime Crime Venus XL2
Give me all the pinks! The metallics in this one are just stunning. I’ve had her for a few years now and we’re still going strong together.
Matte & Metallic Venus XL Eye & Face Palette - Lime Crime | Ulta Beauty
I cannot quite find the blue metallic eyeshadow I have but this one is also stunning! Such a must when the cold weather arrives.
ColourPop®: Shop Tide Pool - Metallic Cerulean | Blue Eyeshadow
I'm using it day and night at this point.
Backstage Glow Maximizer Face Palette - DIOR | Sephora
Eyebrows
Ever since the day I discovered how great is the retractable eyebrow pencil from Sephora, I never tried another one. You can’t beat the quality, price and quality of this one.
Sephora Retractable Eyebrow Pencil
I have it in shade 02 Soft brown. I’m sorry but there’s sorcery in this one. I have very sparse eyebrows but the way I just use this, a bit of the eyebrow pencil and I have full brows??? Incredible for this price point!
