This is hands-down the most hydrating, medium coverage and lightweight liquid foundation. I have loved this for so many years and it keeps getting better. The key to a homogenous blended look is to use a darker shade for your contour.

I like using this Dior foundation during the summer.

This Giorgio Armani foundation gives totally a ‘your skin but better’ look. It blends in so well and works perfectly for dry skin. It has sheer coverage and is buildable.

I love using this foundation during the winter.

The only concealer that does not leave clumps on my under eye area. It's so creamy, so luscious and melts into your skin.

The best cream contour wand ever. A little goes a long way and works perfectly with the two foundations I recommend in this list.

Say what you want to say but this will forever has my wallet and heart. The key is to find yourself a signature shade and stick to it. My signature shade is Rosewood.

My #1 forever and ever. It has everything for your whole face.

White for nose and eye highlights.
Gold for cheeks.
Pink for a shimmering blush.
Brown for a day to night eye look.

Multipurpose and convenient. If you're starting out as a beginner, this is the perfect pallete for you to try and is budget friendly in the long run.

This is a filter irl. The blurring effect is uncanny. I love using this under my eyes after blending out my concealer. 

I use this to touch up throughout the time I wear makeup.

The powder is giving natural healthy bronzy glow. I love using this to add extra dimension to my face after I'm done with my base.

This does not irritate my eyes and gives my asian lashes the perfect curl. I wear contacts and I find it easy to clean this at the end of the day.

beautiful natural lipstain that lasts all day. don't be scared of the blue application! it's the magic after you wipe. i love wearing this on days that I know I would be eating a lot of food. top it off with your fav gloss and you're good to go.

a staple in every girl's bag tbh. again, my shade is in rosewood because that complements my natural tone the most. it also goes well with my rosewood blush too.
