Being a freelance makeup artist for a few years really helped me curate my list of favourite products. This list only includes products that actually work and are worth the splurge!

Skincare
My favourite long lasting SPF. Smooth application, lightweight, non-greasy formula that looks like nothing on the skin!
Mineral Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
Super hydrating moisturizer. It really locks in moisture and protects the skin barrier. I definitely notice a difference when I use this compared to a drug store moisturizer!
Confidence in a Cream Anti-Aging Hydrating Moisturizer - It Cosmetics
Recently started using this product and I can already tell a difference in my skin. My fine lines seem less deep and the morning following the application my skin looks more plump and radiant!
0.3% Retinol Complex Serum with Peptides
Makeup
The best cream blush I have tried. I have 3 colours:
Golden hour
Happy hour
Office hours
They apply seamlessly to the skin and give the perfect amount of pigmentation. Can be applied over or under other products for your desired look and last all day...
BeachPlease Tinted Balm for Lips + Cheeks
Perfect for a glow under foundation or use it by itself for a smoothed over complexion on light makeup days.
Hollywood Flawless Filter: Glow Booster
I’ve repurchased this foundation too many times to count! It’s my favourite coverage and shade match. I love that it also has SPF 50+ for extra protection. It doesn’t make the skin cakey and it feels super lightweight.
CC Cream - Color Correcting Makeup - IT Cosmetics Canada
My go-to brow product. This product glides on seamlessly, stays put all day, and one tub lasts forever. I’ve repurchased this so many times!
DIPBROW® Pomade
I use this daily to set my eyelids to prevent creasing, even if I’m not wearing any eyeshadow. When used with eyeshadow it makes it stay in place all day long. It’s not sticky or stiff feeling on the eye.
Eyeshadow Primer Potion - 24-Hour Crease-Free - Urban Decay CA
Keeps your makeup in place all day. I used this for my wedding which ended up being extremely hot and I only had to do minimal touch ups! Have repurchased this numerous times.
All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray - Urban Decay CA
Obsessed with this powder. If you love a glowy look without looking shimmery, this is your new go-to. A little goes a long way and it makes your skin look so plump and hydrated!
Matte Radiance Baked Powder Compact
Body Care
Amazing for exfoliating in the shower. I use it in my arms and legs and noticed a difference right after the first use. I can tell my skin feels smoother and there are definitely less bumps and redness!
KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub 10% AHA
I really love this product. I have hypothyroidism and my skin is frequently dried out. I use this once or twice every 2 weeks and my skin feels refreshed and renewed. It is so much softer and brighter after using!
