A good lip combo makes the look 💋

Who doesn't love a good lip combo? Because lets face it, sometimes the lip combo IS the look!

My most flattering shades are "Foxy Brown" and Hollywood Honey. " I love these lip liners! They're so creamy and long-lasting. The only downside is that they need a special sharpener to sharpen them. But in my opinion, it's so worth it!!

This is my favourite lip gloss! It sits so nicely on the lips and feels super hydrating! My most flattering shade is definitely "cashew." I'm OBSESSED with this gloss.

This is such a cool lip product that claims to be universal as it looks different on everyone. For me personally, it looks like a deep wine colour. I have also seen this shade on different complexions and it looks so flattering on everyone!
Clinique - Almost Lipstick "black honey"

I absolutely love this creme and powder blush duo! It's great if you want a bit of a "glow from within" look when you apply your blush! I love that it doesn't lift your base at all. A really flattering shade for my complexion is "she's blushing".

This Kosas blush is so beautiful on the skin - especially if you're looking for a glowy look! It is super buildable, so if you have blush blindness like me or if you prefer a more subtle look, I truly believe you can have both! A shade that is flatte...

This is hands-down my favourite loose setting powder! I can't believe I've never heard anyone talk about this. I never get any creases and my makeup never moves even after a long day. Always keeps me looking flawless all day.

Another popular product that I decided to try and haven't looked back since! It is a product that is true to its name - radiant and creamy. Really brightens the under eyes and covers up those bags! I use the shade “caramel” in this product.
