I am a uni student, so looking for affordable but good quality makeup may as well be my second job. Hope you find something useful!!
As a girl with combination skin, I unfortunately cannot get behind foundations with a dewy finish as it makes me look oily. This foundation is easily buildable and has such a beautiful finish and doesn’t accentuate my oily spots, but isn’t too matte ...
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation
A perfect pairing with the fit me foundation. It covers up all my redness as well as dark circles at such an affordable price.
Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer 10 Light 6.8ml | Make Up
I have used this powder for years and it never does me wrong. I pop it on my undereyes and it does not crease and keeps my makeup intact all day long. Also creates a flawless bake later on in my makeup routine😝
Halo Glow Setting Powder
I use this blush in the shade hope, and I am OBSESSED. It is slightly on the pricier side but is such a worthy investment, it adds glow back into my routine and the colour compliments my skin tone SO well.
if you do not want your eyebrows to BUDGE, this is absolutely perfect. I do not use pigment on my brows so my natural hairs staying in shape is crucial, and this just does that. And as an added bonus, it tames flyaways when you do a slickback!
got2b Glued 4 Brows & Edges Waterproof Eyebrow Gel 16 ml
i feel like it wouldn’t be an official makeup rec list if this did not make an appearance. There is a reason this mascara is so popular. It adds so much length and volume to your lashes and keeps them lifted all day. Forever a favourite!!
Maybelline Mascara, Lash Sensational Sky High Volumizing & Thickening ...
I use this lip oil in the shade status update, and it had recently become an absolute favourite. For the winter I have been favouring a slightly darker lip, and this executes that vision perfectly.

I use the pink power grip primer with niacinimide to help reduce my overall redness due to my acne scars. It creates such a lovely base for foundation and your makeup will not budge all day.
Power Grip Primer
Lets just say, I have come back from nights out with my makeup looking like it did when i left the house. Gods work this setting spray is.
