From an acne-prone girly to another: Sephora Recommendations (Makeup Edition)
15
items I have dealt with acne and PIE every since I stopped using birth control pills, and to be honest, it's a journey.
Everyone reacts differently to ingredients, but the items listed here are my most trusted and what I use on the daily!
Even though I have acne marks, I still love to keep my makeup natural and skin-like!
Side note: I currently don't use any mascara to keep my lifted lashes last longer.

I have neutral undertones, and depending on the season, I can sometimes work with pink undertones.
NARS | Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30
I use this to cover my acne marks (Great coverage, very buildable, and most importantly, looks like skin!)
HOURGLASS | Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer - Apricot 5.5 - Medium, Cool Rosy
I am no expert when contouring, but I found that this Patrick Ta product is very versatile and easy to use.
PATRICK TA | Major Sculpt Creme Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo
As the name states, it gives a soft color to my face. So if you're also a neutral girly, I highly recommend this beige peach color.
RARE BEAUTY | Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
I love the colors in this palette because it enhances my skintone and my brown eye color.
DIOR | Backstage Eyeshadow Palette
My natural lip line is two shades darker than my lips, and I find that this lip pencil enhances the overall color of my lip.
MAKE UP FOR EVER | Artist Color Pencil Long-Lasting Lip Liner
I know… I should stick to a matte finishing spray, but I still like to look a little dewy. This product is also a fine mist, rather than a pressurized can!
ONE/SIZE | Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
As a fellow Filipina-American, I just know we share the same skin problems – and that includes keeping our acne and oily prone skin at bay!
ONE/SIZE | Ultimate Blurring Setting Powder - Universal Translucent
This might be a bit unconventional, but I don't use a concealer brush to hide my acne marks. I find this double sided brush more useful to efficiently blend and spot correct the Hourglass concealer.
MERIT | Brush No. 2 Double Sided Eyeshadow Brush
I only use this for my Nars liquid foundation, and it blends so well, leaving no streaks!
DANESSA MYRICKS BEAUTY | Yummy Face 1.0 All Over Complexion Brush
Please use sparingly. A little goes a long way and I use this on the inner corner of my eyes to “wake up” my eyes.
TARTE | Fake Awake Eyeliner
I lean towards mauve, neutral colors for my lip rather than a bold red tint.
RHODE | Peptide Lip Tint Nourishing Glaze - Salty Tan
Pro tip: Wipe your eyebrows from any product before using any eyebrow gel to prevent white clumps!
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze Gel
I prefer powder highlighter to “mattify” my finishing spray.
Yves Saint Laurent | Hyper Luminize Powder Highlighter
Leaves a really pretty tint once the gloss comes off!
LANEIGE | JuicePop Box Lip Oil Stain 12HR Hydrating Tint
