EYES
My goal is to look like i have beautiful faux-mink false lashes on when they’re really my natural lashes. These products help me achieve that!
Want to look like you’re wearing falsies? Use this primer before applying the Big Deal Mascara from the same brand! It’s a game changer, trust me.
Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara Primer
The BEST mascara!! Dupe for “better than sex” mascara at a fraction of the price… I am a waterproof girl, but i’ve tried the regular formula and it’s just as good!
Paradise Big Deal Mascara | L'Oréal Paris
If you still want the dramatic look of a false lash, but don’t want it to be obvious you’re wearing falsies, these are my fave! The invisible band makes them less noticeable while still easy to apply, and they provide a natural-looking cat eye shape.
Ardell Faux Mink Lashes – Luxuriously Lightweight
BROWS
As a recovering over-plucker, I can’t live without my brow products. These ones have never let me down.
I fill in my brows everyday (as a thin brow millennial, I have to) and this has been my go-to product for years! I find it easier to use than brow pencils. I get so many compliments on my brows, people think they are my natural brows but threaded! My...
DIPBROW® Pomade
I’ve tried many brow gels, and this one is the best!! Holds all day with a natural look.
Clear Brow Gel
SKIN
I have sensitive skin, acne scars, and I hate the feeling of sticky/cakey skin products. These ones make me look good AND feel good!
My holy grail primer. I LOVE elf products!!! They are super affordable and you don’t have to sacrifice quality for cost. This primer has never made me break out, and it really does hydrate my dry skin. I always use the Hydrating primer, but they have...
Hydrating Primer for Dry Skin - Large
Natural, lightweight cc cream/foundation. I never use regular foundation anymore. I love this product because it provides me with full coverage, moisturized skin, and SPF protection!
CC Cream - Color Correcting Makeup - IT Cosmetics Canada
Similar to my love for liquid blush, I love liquid contour! It blends so well and creates natural looking depth. A little goes a long way, so this tube lasts a while! My go to shade is Gentle.
Soft Pinch Liquid Contour | Buildable and Streak-Free
Call me dramatic, but switching to liquid blush was life-changing. This formula is so much better than other drug store brands i’ve tried. A small dab goes a long way! It blends seamlessly and looks natural, and you can’t feel any residue. My favouri...
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
I’m not as picky when it comes to highlight, but i fell in love with this one right away. I’m a big fan of Rare Beauty, can you tell? My favourite thing about this product is that it truly provides a shimmer, not as “glittery” as other highlighters i...
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight
LIPS
No filler? No problem!
The first step to having luscious lips is proper lip care! I use this lip sleeping mask everyday (even during the day, not just before bed) and it restores moisture my dry, cracked lips in no time. My go-to is the classic Berry flavour, or Vanilla. T...
Lip Sleeping Mask - LANEIGE
I don’t always use lip liner, but when I do, this one is the BEST! It stays put, looks natural, and i think this nude shade of Pillow Talk works on everyone.
Pillow Talk - Lip Cheat - Nude Pink Lip Liner Pencil
Obviously, using the Pillow Talk lipstick with the matching lip liner is going to give the best results! Minimal need to re-apply, little to no transfer, and no cracking/dry patches.
Pillow Talk Collection - Nude-pink Lipstick & Eyeshadow
So many brands are coming out with lip-plumping glosses now, but this one is my OG favourite. I find some other brands actually hurt my lips (not in a good way) whereas this one still tingles but… gently. If that makes sense. It genuinely does plump ...
