items If you have sensitive skin and light-to-medium complexion with a golden undertone, then these makeup recommendations MIGHT help you. I primarily show interest in CBeauty and PHBeauty but may feature western brands as well!

Some Close Seconds!
Girlcult
From the packaging aesthetic to the general quality of the formulas, and HUGE diversity in lip shades, this is actually my personal favorite brand! Of course, I will still list the pros and cons.
This cream blush is presented creatively with the embossed logo of the brand and its unique container, but the product also shines in that the blush provides the appearance of a natural flush of red that makes people think your skin is just like that...
Black Fuwa Blush
The eyeshadows in this palette are beyond pigmented! Even a small amount of product can actually give you some decent results! I also love how compact it is, because bringing it with me in travels is quite easy compared to some of the more sizeable p...
Like Fire Eyeshadow Palette
Shade J79 Desperate is the first lip glaze I ordered from this brand, and I personally love its buildability. It appears almost black on my lips at full opacity and eventually fades into a dark brownish plum color throughout the dayday. I should note...
Strange Tales Series Fantasy Mirror Lip Gloss: J79 - Desperate
Like all of the Girlcult lip products I bought, these lip muds have a rose fragrance to them. I personally own Shade M62 The Poet but have tested M59 Pink Dahlia in a local store. The former is pitch black with the latter appearing to be a very reddi...
Four Great Inventions Series Lip Muds
I bought shade G79 Black and Blue. It actually doesn't look bad on my skin unless I'm under yellow light (in which my face just looks VERY yellow due to my golden undertone). Otherwise, I have generally fallen in love with how visible the blue shimme...
Miao Psychic Series Lip Muds
Base Makeup and Finishing Products
Foundations, concealers, color correctors, and setting/fixing products that I have personally tried out and loved!
This foundation is actually the only one that is an exact shade match to my skin. Even as someone who is warm-toned, most warm foundations actually look too yellow on me, and this is pretty much how I found out that I have a golden undertone. I'm sti...
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation: Warm Vanilla 2W0
Now, this recommendation is for the Filipinos specifically! It's actually very difficult to find a fully white base in the Philippines, because most local brands don't offer them and L.A. Girl's white foundation and mixing pigments are either sold ou...
GRWM Cosmetics Fresh Matte Multiuse Base: Snowball Specifically
Careline Cosmetics offers the most affordable loose powders on my part (while I linked the online store, I bought mine on Watsons for ₱249). This is the setting powder I used to put my white makeup base together after applying the GRWM white shade sh...
Careline Mattifying Loose Powder 5.5g: Translucent
The link I provided is the official online store, but for those who live in the Philippines like myself, this concealer is available in Watsons! Admittedly, as a foreign brand, the price point is pretty high for us but there was a Buy 1 Take 1 promo ...
Concealer Duo Sand Beige - BYS Cosmetics
Some Close Seconds!
Products I have tried out that didn't quite make it to "preferred" but I still feel will be decent finds for other people!
I went to Watsons to swatch each of the shades from this brand's concealers and lippies! So right now, let's talk about the concealer, Vanilla Thrilla. I've seen the promotional videos using this product as both concealer and foundation, which sugges...
RSG Dab Me Up Serum Concealer: Vanilla Thrilla
I had the opportunity to test these products in Watsons alongside the concealers from the same brand. I have swatched all three shades (Black Swan, Ursula, and Temptress). Here's what I found. The biggest pro is that after about a minute or two of dr...
