Third Step: Base!

If looking like a glazed donut is your go-to, this is your secret ingredient!

I cannot promote this product enough, it is an EXACT dupe of the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter foundation!! Very light coverage but gives you the most beautiful glow!!

Fourth Step: Eyebrows!

Tints are an amazing way to make your eyebrows look fuller without having to draw them on!!

Perfect if you want the “clean girl” look. Gives your eyebrows a beautiful finish without making it look too overboard!

Do not skip this!! A bright and concealed under eye literally makes you glow!

Light to medium coverage but definitely builable! Keeps your undereyes super hydrated!

Sixth Step: Setting Powder!

So so important to get a good once, especially if you have dry under eyes!!

So good! Gives you the perfect airbrushed look without giving “Flashback Mary”!

Maybelline Fit Me Powder

Seventh Step: Eyeshadow!

Don't be afraid of eyeshadow, especially if it's this blendable! Just a slightly darker colour in your crease and a glittery one on your lid and you're good to go!!

Colourpop has the best neutral shadows, with the best colour pay-off and all within budget!

Eight Step: Mascara!

Took me years to find a mascara good enough to keep my very short, very straight lashes, all curled up and long all day!

This mascara literally makes it look like you have falsies on! (Tip: Use the waterproof one on top lashes for having curled lashes last longer!)

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara

Ninth Step: Contour and Highlight!

Don't skip this step!! This is what adds some dimension back into your face!!

Very light and buildable pigment, nothing too crazy so you don't have to worry about having harsh brown lines on your face!

Tenth Step: Blush!

Blush blindness, to me, is very real! A girl's gotta have rosy cheeks!!

These are so good and glowy, so easy to blend and also buildable AF!

Eleventh Step: Lips!

The best part of your routine! The best shade combo will literally transform your makeup look!!
