Sunscreens
Perfect daily face sunscreen ✨I have super sensitive skin so I love that this doesn’t have the sticky, oily feel of other sunscreens. It’s also great as a base for makeup because of the matte powdery finish
Kao - Biore UV Perfect Milk SPF 50+ PA++++
A classic. I use this when I don’t want the matte powdery finish on my face, aka when it’s a no makeup day ;)
Daily UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 36
A little bit on the pricer side but still :P
Hydro UV Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+
Skincare
I usually buy this in Asia, but I love how effective and gentle it is on my super sensitive skin
Green Tea Amino Acid Cleansing Foam
Saw someone recommend this on YouTube and I have no regrets getting it. Light and watery texture, not greasy at all
iUNIK - Beta Glucan Daily Moisture Cream
I don't think you understand how much I love and live by this set
Green Tea Hydration Heroes with Hyaluronic Acid set
one of my top 2 eye creams
All About Eyes™ Eye Cream with Vitamin C
My other favorite eye cream
Dr Jart+ Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Eye Cream
Trying these toner pads because they are all over social media
I saw this online and APPARENTLY Blackpink Jennie’s makeup artist recommended it?? After some research it’s good for post acne 👀 I’ll give it a try 🫡
Dr. Althea - 147 Barrier Cream
Makeup 💄
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHADE
Amazing for warmer tones
So subtle
Is my daily shade, lasts really well
Also I got complimented it while I was in a zoom meeting so I think it speaks for itself
ROSY WISH - peripera Ink Mood Glowy Tint
Peripera lip tints might be my new go to lip product
Ink Mood Glowy Tint Tteok Recipe Collection - Joking Pink and Hurry Up Pink
I absolutely worship this lip tint! It leaves a strong color and doesn’t dry out my lips at all
ETUDE Dear Darling Water Tint Cherry Ade
Another option to my Amazon rec! But last I checked this links has more colors
ETUDE - Dear Darling Water Tint - 9 Colors
I usually only use liquid liners, this completely changed my mind 😗
Canmake - Creamy Touch Liner
I order these since running out after the last one I bought from Japan
Canmake - Perfect Multi Eyes
Works SO WELL, removed waterproof mascara so easily and didn’t sting my eyes at all (I have super sensitive eyes)
ISEHAN - Kiss Me Heroine Make Speedy Mascara Remover
Moisturizing and the color is subtle, great for daily use
Romand glasting Lip balm
10/10 eyeliner, never fails me
Ultra-Fine Liquid Eyeliner
This actually never rubs off 👀 and yet can be washed off easily with face wash!!
Kpalette Real Lasting Eyeliner 24HWP
Replaced my old foundation with this about a month ago. It’s actually so moisturizing and I like that it has spf too
Such a great staple eyeshadow palette 👍 I also use the darkest color as eyeliner when I want a more natural smokey look
ColourPop 9-Pan Eyeshadow Makeup Palette - Deja Brew - 0.3oz
Gloss + lip balm set 👀 I personally haven’t used the gloss but my friend is obsessed with it. It reminds me of the Korean doll lips trend
Romand glasting Lip Volume Hack Bundle Set
Recently started using powders - usually Im too lazy - and the colors really do work wonders
The Saem - Cover Perfection Triple Pot Concealer - 5 Types
I do get this with the mascara remover! It works great for Asian lashes but the mascara remover is magic
Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara Advanced Film
I personally have both this and the more expensive matte black version. I like the other one more but I had to get that from Japan 🥲 this is the closest one I could find here
Shiseido - Eyelash Curler
I use these when I want my stubborn Asian lashes to Stay Curled
ETUDE - Dr.Mascara Fixer
Ig reels really do be out there trapping me. I have a scar on my upper lip so this pencil really helps with the discolouration
romand - Lip Mate Pencil/Lip liner
I think Peripera might be my new obsession
peripera - Ink Velvet
I got this color too
peripera - Ink Mood Glowy Tint - Rose in Mind (IVE wonyoung’s color) ✨
