a hydrating essence product to help bring the glue from within, and hydrate the skin!

primers.

Every makeup look should start with the right primer. I switch between two different ones depending on my desired look. I also use eyeshadow primer because I have oily eyelids!

sunscreens.

In case you're doing makeup in the daytime, these sunscreens are white cast-free, and do well under makeup.

The sunscreen I'm currently using that is white cast-free, hypoallergenic, and works well under makeup! I also like that it's not super thick.

blushes.

My go-to blush products for my oily/combo skin.

An old cult favorite drugstore powder blush! I use this more as a blush topper as it can kind of be sheer, in my opinion. I use the shade Luminoso.

foundations.

My favorite foundations for my oily/combo skin!

A drugstore option for a natural-finish foundation that's also long-wearing! I use shade 322.

My go-to hot weather makeup. This stuff smells like skincare which I loveeee. It also hides my texture and discoloration amazingly well.

eyeshadows.

In addition to an oily T-zone, I have oily eyelids as well! These are all the eye products that work well with my oily lids, such as eyeshadows, mascaras, and eyeliners.

This eyeshadow is perfect for oily eyelids as it dries down matte. I use the shade BISQUE for a cut crease/base look.

mascaras.

I have stubborn asian pin-straight lashes that are hard to curl and usually get weighed down by regular and thick mascaras. For this reason, I tend to use waterproof mascaras.

my top favorite drugstore mascara! I've heard this was a dupe for the Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.

The final step to my makeup base routine!

The reviews and long-wear tests I've seen of this on TikTok are AMAZING! Say you need to touch-up? Spray this, let it dry and don't touch it, and once it dries, it'll set as if your makeup was just applied.
