💄 Lips
I’ve had really dry lips since moving to Sydney because of the cold weather, but this lip butter has actually helped a lot. My lips stay soft now, and I haven’t had cracked lips in ages. The lychee color is really nice as well gives a touch of bright...
Dior Addict Lip Glow Butter: Intense Lip Treatment | Dior AU
Feels light, not sticky, and the color looks fresh without trying too hard. Personally, great for everyday use
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil
Such a good dupe for high-end glosses. Feels comfy and shiny.
Lifter Gloss Hydrating Lip Gloss | Maybelline Australia & NZ
I keep this in my bag all the time. It’s glossy but feels more like skincare than makeup. Used it whenever my lips feels dry
Buy LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm
Basic but works so well. Apply before bed or before using tint to avoid dryness. Great price
Lip Balms
Makes my lips look fuller without it being obvious. I use it to shape my lips a bit on “no-makeup” days.
Lip Liner - Long-lasting & Waterproof Pencils
A cheap staple for my day-to-day makeup, won’t hurt your wallet while giving the full lip look 👄 It’s very smooth as well
NYX Slim Lip Pencil
Smells fruity and actually moisturizes. I always carry this around campus along with my nivea.
Burt’s Bees Lip Balm
My go-to for classes. It looks like my natural lip color but better, and it fades really nicely after eating.
Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint
🧴 Base & Foundation
This one’s legit amazing, it covers everything without making me look cakey. I use it for long uni days, and it still looks fresh even when I get home. It’s so quick to apply too, around 20 min for my whole makeup routine
TIRTIR Mask Fit Red Cushion
My “fancy” foundation for special days 😭. It makes my skin look like I’ve slept 10 hours even when I haven’t. The finish is smooth, but still feels super lightweight.
Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Foundation
Used to be my go-to. It blends easily with my fingers, doesn’t melt in Sydney heat, and it’s cheap enough that I don’t feel bad using it every day.
Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation
I found this by accident, but omg it gives the prettiest glow without making me oily. It’s that “healthy skin” finish that makes me look awake even when I’m not. Just a heads-up though — the shade range is mostly for lighter skin tones, which kinda s...
ETUDE - Double Lasting Serum Skin Foundation - 7 Colors
Lightweight, buildable, and actually feels like skincare. I use this when I don’t want to look like I’m wearing foundation but still want to look… decent 😅
The Ordinary Serum Foundation – Lightweight, Buildable Coverage
A drugstore gem. It’s sheer but glowy, and I love that it will still show your freckles a little. Great for when you want clean, simple makeup day
True Match Nude Plumping Tinted Serum - L'Oréal
THE holy grail touch-up powder. Been using it for 5 years now? Everybody and their mother knows this product, especially in korea. Always keep it in my bag — it saves me from looking like an oil slick halfway through class as a T-zone girly.
INNISFREE No Sebum Mineral Pact
This is the one I reach for when I want my skin to look alive. It gives that glowy, smooth finish without the heavy foundation feel.
e.l.d. Halo Glow Liquid Filter Highlighter
Underrated and so good. It gives that “just enough” coverage without clinging to dry spots. I honestly think this deserves more hype.
Catrice True Skin Hydrating Foundation – The Beauty Store
🎨 Blush & Contour
Easy to sculpt and blend — I first used this when I wanted a more defined cheek look for an event, kind of took it from my mom. Feels more pro-makeup than student-budget.
The Ultimate Contour Palette | Napoleon Perdis Cosmetics
Super affordable and surprisingly good pigment. I use the highlight and contour for day-to-day makeup. Doesn’t feel cheap
