skin prep!
i use this every single day. you had to apply sunscreen to protect your face and this one happens to be high quality and affordable. it doesn't leave a white cast at all and doesn't feel oily!
CeraVe AM Facial Moisturiser SPF50 Normal to Dry Skin 52ml
this stuff sticks to ur face like crazy. genuinely it's so good and the value for money is amazing. i recommend letting it dry down for around five minutes before you put anything on.

base!
the best thing about this foundation is that it has buildable coverage. you can choose how much you have depending on what tools you use. if you use a foundation brush you'll get a lot of coverage. but using a beauty blender makes it more sheer, givi...
L'Oreal True Match
this is one of the most high coverage concealers you're going to get. you could even swap this for a foundation if you don't want too much on ur face. it's up to u! it feels very lightweight on the skin and is of medium coverage. again, it's buildabl...
NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Concealer Serum - Fair | Make Up
this whole line is so good for contour and bronzer, even blush. they're so easy to work with and super creamy. one thing i would recommend is putting them down on the back of your hand first to warm them up, then putting them on ur face!
e.l.f. Halo Glow Contour Beauty Wand Deep/Rich | Make Up
again, with the blush you can do the same thing. i really like putting it on the apple of my cheeks as it brings a lot of lie to my face! just make sure you don't apply it to your face directly and put it on the back of your hand first.
Halo Glow Liquid Blush Highlighter Beauty Wand
powders!
this powder is unreal. it makes you look like you have a beauty filter on. the gag that it's 2 in 1 too is such good value for money.
Makeup Revolution IRL Soft Focus 2 in 1 Powder Translucent
this pressed powder is also amazing if you're scared of loose powders. it has never let me down and it lasts forever.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Powder 220 Nat Beige | Make Up
eyes
if ur a mascara girly, this is one of the best ones that i've used. however, i prefer using waterproof mascara as it keeps my lashes more curled !
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara 01 Black | Make Up
genuinely, lashes are up to you! everyone has a personal preference. however, for me, i'll always prefer individuals as they don't itch as much!
Individual Eyelashes | Eyelash Extensions & Kits
for eyeshadows, the most affordable ones in my opinion, are the ones from revolution. the colour payoff is insane and the kind of eyeshadow you wear really depends on ur vibe! on a daily basis i like to wear brown eyeshadows.
Eyeshadow Palettes | Eye Makeup
finishing touches!
this highlighter is so pigmented and the price is amazing considering how much you get in there. i always like highlighting my nose after i finis all my makeup it make it look super cute!
NYX Highlighter
this is so cheap and keeps my makeup on all day. even after a night out my skin feels flawless and it never feels like i have too much on my face.
