This lip sleeping mask from Laneige became famous online, especially on k-beauty. As a k-beauty fan, I decided to try it myself. From the product name itself 'nourish & hydrate', I expected a LOT and it does not disappoint. By morning, my lips f...
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
Primer
Â
This is a primer that I can claim to be beginner friendly. If you still don't know what primer to use, GET THIS ONE. First, it is not overly drying and not overly mattifying. It literally controls oil without leaving your skin looking less hydrated, ...
Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Mattifying Water Powder Serum with ...
Â
If you're looking for a non-comedogenic oil absorbing primer, this is IT. It claims to give an immediate and extreme matte finish, tightens the appearance of pores, and extends makeup wear to 12 hours. One thing I cannot deny is, it delivers. ✨ You d...
ONE/SIZE Oil Sucker Extreme Mattifying Alkaline Primer
Â
The first primer that I have tried in my whole makeup journey. At first, I was hesitant to use this, and I'm glad I DID. This primer is indeed gripping, and it makes my base last the whole day (I live in a country with a humid weather). Also, this on...
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Â
This primer is *chef's kiss*. I hired a makeup artist for an event, and they put this on before makeup, and my makeup stays on all day. After my makeup was done, it's not shiny or anything so I decided to check it after a couple of hours. After 8 and...
Lancôme - La Base Pro Oil-Free Longwear Makeup Primer
Â
After applying this silicon-base primer, I can already see that it is indeed smoothing and blurring my skin right away. It feels lightweight and velvety on the skin, and it makes my makeup last and stay on.
Smashbox Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Oil-Free Foundation Primer
Foundation
Â
This is my most trusted sweat resistant foundation for big days. I build it up in thin layers using a spatula, so it doesn't look cakey. This foundation has a high coverage, so I don't need to conceal much of my imperfections anymore. My oily skin us...
I've been using the MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 24HR Matte Foundation + Oil Control. Right out of the pump, it feels lightweight and blendable, it's not thick like the old formula I remember from YouTube vids. I wore it for a full 12-hour day, no touc...
MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 24HR Matte Foundation + Oil Control
Â
As an oily-skinned girl battling humidity, it's become one of my go-to for no-shine days. Wore it 16 hours straight during a long study session and commute, no melting, creasing, or T-zone disaster even in the heat. It controlled oil like a dream (sw...
NARS Soft Matte Long-Lasting Foundation
Concealer
Â
This concealer swatches like butter on my hand, it has a medium coverage that sheers out to a natural glow or builds to hide redness, random pimples, or those under-eye shadows from cramming for exams.
No dragging or patchiness, I tap it in with my ...
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer with Hydrating Medium Coverage
Â
I've been obsessed with the Hourglass Brightening Vanish Airbrush Concealer for weeks now, and as a girl with oily skin from humidity, it's my secret weapon for bright, no-crease under-eyes and spot-concealing. The subtle brightening effect of it wak...
Threw it into a humidity test: 12-hour wear from early commute to non-AC study sesh. Starts fresh and undetectable, no flashback in my selfies, and holds strong on oily under-eye, and there is barely any creasing by hour 6, even on my fine lines from...
Make Up For Ever's HD Skin Smooth & Blur Undetectable Under Eye Concealer
Blush
Â
The Soft Pinch Blushes are the ones I go for when I really want my blush to last all day. The oversized doe-foot applicator of this is genius because one tiny dot of the blush (I use the shade Hope) delivers buildable color payoff from subtle flush t...
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
Â
The split-pan design is chef's kiss, creamy side is sheer-buildable, while the powder is soft that blends like air. One finger-tap of cream + fluffy brush swirl of powder on cheeks? Instant dimensional flush. There is absolutely no patchiness on my ...
Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
Contour
Â
The formula of this bronzer is really thin so it feels like i have nothing on the skin and it doesn't interfere with any of my other base products. I usually find contours and bronzers a little strong, but this was a game changer for me! Whenever I p...
MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer
All-in-one Palette
Â
The overall look of this pallette is gorgeous. Aside from that, this one palette does it all: all-over blur, contour/bronze, blush, highlighter. Bronzer adds subtle warmth without orange vibes, blushes will make you look naturally flushed throughout ...
Oily skin girly's bestfriend is definitely the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder when it comes to flawless and lasting results. It stands out as a cult-favorite for locking in makeup with a flawless, matte finish that lasts up to 16 hour...
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Â
The ultra-fine, silky texture of this is next-level, because one puff-tap blurs pores instantly with subtle brightening, with no white cast or heaviness. It color-corrects under-eyes while mattifying T-zone; buildable for baking or light set. By hour...
Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder
Â
Another great loose powder, istg. This made my skin look flawless. The powder is extremely fine and soft, and when I use it with a puff to set my under eye area, it gives a blurred effect that definitely makes a big difference, all the while ensuring...
ONE/SIZE Ultimate Setting Powder
Â
This pressed powder is the one I use for touch ups. This is the only powder that holds my makeup together and controls oil. With a simple touch of this using a brush, I don't have to worry about making my base cakey during retouch because this has a ...
MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation 24HR Oil Control, Blur-Matte Finish
Setting Spray
Â
I have seen this a lot of times in the internet. I admit, it's WORTH THE HYPE. One Size kept my oily skin under control and my makeup in place for hours, even in the summer. It feels super lightweight on the skin but somehow delivers the long-lasting...
