base + finish
eyeshadow + eyeliner
lippies
About $24(CAD) but it's one of the best lip products I've ever had. If you're buying just one lippie, this is your one-for-all.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm
Acai You Later is my personal favourite shade, and these glosses do actually taste yummy and last forever.
Covergirl Clean Fresh Yummy Gloss
Affordable, cruelty-free, and solid quality for what you pay. Only downside is I find it dissolves under gloss fairly quickly.
ELF Lip Pencils
lashes + brows
My California Sunset lash map: 10, 12, 14, 16
Fowendia lash clusters
Pick your poison. I personally use fine tip pencils and outline with concealer, but if you want a fuller-filled-in look try the kit.
Wet n Wild Eyebrow Liner/Kit
I don't need to recommend a mascara because you just need to pair it with this. Affordable and the best curler out there; it gets my straight thin asian lashes up for the whole day. Just remember when you use it to hold and pulse for longevity.
ELF Lash Curler
contour, highlighter, blush
Product quantity lasts forever
Quo Beauty Duo Contour Stick
I'm going to be honest I just use a random powder blush I got from a drugstore back in highschool but this was $8(CAD) with a 4.5 star rating so I'm adding this alternative.
Covergirl Trublend Blush
The random drugstore powder blush I got in highschool is still full but I'm getting this one next.
ELF Blush: Liquid, Powder and Cream
base + finish
I use the matte one, enhances my makeup coverage and makes it last
ELF Power Grip Primer
$17(CAD) but worth it as a one-for-all base product. Best for coverage and long-lasting quality. My GOAT.
NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum
I've been using this one forever and it's a good soldier. People ask me how my makeup stays on, this is partly how.
Milani Setting Powder
For my medium coverage baddies that like a dewy finish.
Covergirl Skin Tint
eyeshadow + eyeliner
I use the lightest shade to highlight my aegyosal, and the dark shade to line my lower eyes. Fantastic quality, and affordable.
Wet n Wild Always Naked Palette Always Nude
I alternate between black and brown, and wet n wild has a waterproof liner as well.
Wet n Wild Liquid Eyeliner
I use the one in the middle. I get compliments on the sparkles when I want a little extra bling.
