I would compare this to the Saie Starglow! Creates a gorgeous glow from within look to create the best base for a makeup look. I also like to wear just this in the summer for a natural glowy look!

This is such a good, reliable concealer. I’ve never had under-eye creasing with these!! Helps with cancelling redness as well.

another really good foundation + concealer!! I love this for a fuller coverage, or when I’m dealing with breakouts/acne I want to cover. Long lasting and doesn’t cake!!

This mascara makes my lashes so long and doesn’t have any fallout like others I’ve tried. I use the brown shade since I like it to look more natural!!
