Skin Prep
I love using this at night or as my fist step in skin prep before makeup, helps exfoliate dry skin and leaves a smooth base for my makeup to sit on.
Facial Radiance Pads - First Aid Beauty
As someone with acne prone skin one of my biggest insecurity was hyperpigmentation, I started using this and immediately noticed a difference within a few weeks, my dark spots were lighter and it also helped in controlling my acne without drying my s...
Brighten Up 3% TXA Toner
I dont like to use thick moisturisers underneath my makeup i prefer thin layers and this product while being thin still delivers enough hydration and moisture that helps my skin look plump and glowy and my foundations always layer beautifully with it...
The Dewy Milk Moisturizer: Lightweight Hydration
Base - Cream/Liquid
Great for people with dry skin, really lightweight but does have coverage and has a beautiful finish. Also great for mature skin!!
Triclone™ Skin Tech Foundation
Great build-able and affordable formula that blends seamlessly, works for all skin types.
Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer
I love using this as a contour as it pulls more neutral on me but blends and layer really well with everything else in my routine.
Pocket Bronze Long-Wearing Cream Bronzer - rhode
One of my favourite blushes, my makeup looks are incomplete without this, layers and blends seamlessly and does not emphasise dry patches. Great for people with dry skin.
Dew Blush Liquid Cheek Blush - Saie
Great for everyone, great pigment and lasting power, plus you get a matching powder blush so you don't have to figure out a powder blush combination. Great for people with normal to oily skin, but also works for people with dry skin.
Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush - PATRICK TA
Best blush topper, sometimes for an extra juicy and glowy look I love to warm some up on my hands and use a brush to layer on top of powder blush.
Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick: Rose Cream Blush Stick
Great coverage and pairs well with her loose powder but need to use an eye-cream if you have dry under-eyes.
Concealer & Corrector
one of my holy grail concealers, great for people with dry under-eyes, extreme coverage so build it up little by little to avoid creasing.
Hourglass Brightening Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer
Base - Powders
I've used this powder for years and no other powder compares, blurs and smooths and most importantly photographs beautifully!! I've tested in all sorts of weathers (dallas (hot), houston (hot + humid), seattle (rainy), karachi (hot + humid)) and worn... weddings, carnivals, theme-parks, and my graduation and it has passed every test.
Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powder - HUDA BEAUTY
I love a glowy finish and hence enjoy using these palettes for blush, also blurring and blend easily despite being pigmented.
HUDA BEAUTY Blush Filter Blurring Blushlighters Palette
I love these blushes as well, not too much and give a very beautiful flush of colour.
Ambient™ Lighting Blush | Natural, Radiant Finish
Universal pallete is my favourite shade, I love the glow it gives and easily buildable for a more blinding highlight. I love mixing the shades to get custom colours.
Dior Backstage Glow Maximizer Palette
if youre looking for a blinding 2016 highlighter this is it!! i still use this on days i wear a full heavy glam and especially in my inner-corners and on my brow bone.
Iced Out Highlighter - Anastasia Beverly Hills
Finishing
use either the Charlottle, Milani or One Size setting spray to set everything and then follow it up with either the One Size or L'Oreal aerosol spray to lock everything in.
Really melts everything in, doesn't feel sticky or tacky.
Charlotte Tilbury Transfer-Proof Setting Spray
Compareable to the Charlottle setting spray, i use both interchangeably.
Milani Make It Last Original - Natural Finish Setting Spray
if you feel like you used a little to much powder and want to bring back the glow, this will melt everything together and give you that glass skin finish without feeling heavy.
ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Powder Melt Glass Setting Spray
makes your makeup waterproof and sweatproof, helps avoid makeup separating and patchy-ness.
On 'Til Dawn Waterproof Setting Spray | 16-Hour Matte Hold
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
