MY HOLY GRAIL!!! it's super creamy and really good at covering dark circles
i've tested a lot of gel liners because i hate when it transfers from my upper lid to my greasy lower lids, this one sets the best and glides on really well too
Canmake - Creamy Touch Liner
super slim tip and glides smoothly. the corner of my eyes gets watery so my biggest concern with eyeliner is usually transfering, this sets quickly and is waterproof/transferproof after setting.
i will never replace you my love… this is so good for holding up straight asian lashes
ISEHAN - Kiss Me Heroine Make Long & Curl Mascara Advanced Film
IT'S SOOO GOOD!! especially the aerosol can version, the mist is really fine and it forms a film that is still comfortable on the skin. my makeup does not budge!!
so natural - All Day Tight Make Up Setting Fixx
super pretty and is the perfect satin texture, one of my current favorite lippies. i usually tap it on to build it up instead of swiping
Kanebo - Kate Personal Lip Cream
super smooth and doesnt make my base cakey. i can reform my whole face with this thing (biggest difference on camera)
FLORTTE - Special Edition Highlight Powder - 3 Colors
muted highlighter that is shimmery and not glittery. NOT very shiny but i think it has a great subtle effect that is good at mimicking high points
Dandelion Twinkle Powder Highlighter
precise, creamy, actually shadow toned, blends really well, 5 stars no notes. needs a sharpener though so maybe 1 note.
OUT-OF-OFFICE - Contour & Highlight Duo Pencil - 5 Shades
i used this one 5 years ago and betrayed it by trying other powder contours, but then i looked back at an old photo and remembered the good times. i’ve circled back to it and i’m staying loyal now (…unless…)
too cool for school - Artclass By Rodin Shading - 3 Types
has the perfect amount of pigment and blends smoothly! i like the color story of G03.
Gogotales Little Gem Eyeshadow Palette
so sparkly and pretty! love putting this on my aegyosal, eyelids, and inner corner. the glitter sparkles really well and it has a good density of glitter
Milk Touch - Fairy Jewel Eye Glitter - 6 Colors
it’s cute and pigmented! i like how pigmented the blush in the center is
peripera - All Take Mood Like Palette Peritage Collection - 2 Types
smooth as butter! perfect amount of pigment for me, i layer other blushes on this one too
BANILA CO - b by banila Priming Veil Cheek
blends out super well and sits on the skin really nicely! i think jc04 has the perfect amount of pigment for a muted look, definitely lives up to the hype :3 i've heard that it can disrupt some foundations, but personally haven't experienced this yet...
AZTK - Jello Color Liquid Blush - 7 Colors
blendable and fluffy lip liner! i like cloudy mauve :3
i use it as a lip liner underneath my makeup for when the lip products on top wear off, it stays on all day and through food! shade whimsical :) i line the outside of my lips (oval-lining?) and then wipe it off after 15 seconds or so, it matches my n...
WONDER BLADING All-Day Lip Stain
hydrating and is really great for a smooth base!!
Power Grip Primer | Sticky Gel + Hyaluronic Acid
feels lightweight and has a really natural skinlike finish! i tried this one after seeing goeun from Singles Inferno use it >:3 the texture is on the thicker airier side, i find it easy to blend and comfortable to wear. it's not really transfer proof on its own but it sets well with the rest of the steps in my routine.
ABOUT_TONE - Skin Layer Fit Foundation - 8 Colors
i use this for color correcting! picks up a good amount of product and fits perfectly in the undereye/nose crease, the triangle area spreads product well and the sharp tip is good for targeting product in a certain spot
Pyramid Concealer Brush
moisturizes my lips for the whole day! i have really chapped lips and i find that this product keeps them moisturized for the longest.
Pout Preserve Hydrating Peptide Lip Treatment
good for drawing hairs! the product itself is triangle shaped and on the stiffer side, i find that it's good at drawing natural looking lines
COLORKEY Shaping Eyebrow Pencil
super good if you have dyed hair! coats my brows really evenly without clumping, but also locks them in place like mascara. makes them look fuller and fluffier as well
ISEHAN - Kiss Me Heavy Rotation Coloring Eyebrow EX
super fine powder and feels light, but also sets my makeup really well without disrupting it, although it does have a little bit of flashback
