My favorite is the Rare Beauty blush because it’s super pigmented and lasted me a whole year even using it daily. My favorite shade is Believe — I highly recommend it for people with a cool undertone who look good in mauve shades.

The Huda Beauty loose setting powder has a lovely scent and lasted me over a year — it’s worth every penny. It smooths the skin and makes makeup look more even and flawless. Personally, I recommend the Cherry Blossom shade, which I’ve already repurch...

I highly recommend Nabla’s Cupid’s Arrow pencils — they come in a wide range of shades and are incredibly versatile. I mainly use them as eyeshadows because they blend super easily, but they also work great as eyeliners for both the inner and outer l...

I recommend L’Oréal’s Serum Foundation — it’s not super high coverage, but it feels really lightweight on the skin, just like a serum. It helps even out the complexion and creates a smooth base, allowing the rest of your makeup to apply and blend mor...

I highly recommend the L’Oréal Infallible concealer — it’s super high coverage, so you only need a tiny amount. Even though it’s a low-cost product, it actually performs better than some high-end concealers I’ve tried. It’s especially effective on da...

The Dior Skin Correct concealer is a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. It feels very lightweight on the skin and gives a luminous, smooth finish that evens out the makeup. I personally use just a small amount because even in tiny doses it works we...

The Chocolat Soleil Contour Stick is very pigmented and blends beautifully, leaving a bronzed effect that I love. It also has a delicious chocolate scent and is great for contouring the face, but I also use it as an eyeshadow.

The Rare Beauty liquid highlighter comes in a bigger packaging than the blush, and you need even less product to get that healthy, glowing effect on the face. It lasts even longer than the blush, and I recommend it especially for its many shades. Per...
RARE BEAUTY | Positive Light - Illuminante liquido

I don’t understand why more people don’t talk about it, but if you use it literally as a base or even as a contour under foundation — sometimes mixed with a cream — it works perfectly on its own without leaving patches. It blends really well even wit...
DROP OF SUNSHINE gocce viso effetto abbronzante

This product is probably best suited for people who are fairly skilled with eyeliner, but honestly, all you need is an angled brush and it’s much easier to use than you’d think. This eyeliner is completely waterproof — it won’t smudge or fade through...
Lasting Gel Eyeliner

Many people say this product fades quickly, but that’s never happened to me — actually, I love it and use it a lot. I mainly use it as a lip contour, blending it quickly with my fingers right after applying. Once it sets, it literally doesn’t come of...
Long Lasting Colour Lip Marker

These lip pencils last incredibly long and stay put throughout the day without smudging. My favorite shade is number 21 — it’s an exact dupe of Charlotte Tilbury’s iconic “Iconic Nude.” It’s a cool-toned brown, perfect for people with a cool underton...
Creamy Colour Comfort Lip Liner

The KIKO powder blush is highly pigmented and long-lasting. It’s not too powdery and blends smoothly without leaving any patchy spots on the face. My favorite shade is number 10, which is perfect for people with a cool undertone who prefer pink-toned...
