Prep + Protect: Skincare and SPF
The skincare steps I use to create a hydrated, smooth base before makeup. These products focus on moisture, lip prep, eye-area hydration, and daily SPF so the rest of the routine can stay light and skin-like.
My favourite prep step for a hydrated, naturally glowy base. It gives skin a fresh “glazed” look and helps makeup blend more smoothly without making the routine feel heavy. Best for normal, dry, or combination skin.
Glazing Milk
A gentle eye cream that helps hydrate the under-eye area before concealer. It gives the skin a smoother-looking base and is especially useful when my under-eyes feel dry or makeup tends to crease.
Eye Repair Cream for Dark Circles & Wrinkles
A lightweight SPF step that helps protect my skin while adding a smooth, radiant finish. I apply it as the last step of skincare before makeup; sunscreen should be applied generously and reapplied as needed during sun exposure.
Better Screen™ UV Serum SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen
A nourishing lip mask that helps soften dry lips before applying tinted balm, lip stain, or gloss. I use it as an overnight treatment or apply a very thin layer while getting ready, then blot off the excess before adding lip colour.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate - Laneige
A lightweight, fragrance-free moisturizer that works well before makeup or as part of a simple nighttime routine. It leaves my skin comfortable and hydrated without feeling too greasy, making it a good everyday option for a natural makeup look.
PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion
A richer moisturizer for days when my skin needs extra comfort and hydration. I like using a thin layer underneath makeup when my skin feels dry, but I would avoid applying too much so the base does not become slippery.
Ultra Facial Cream with 4.5% Squalane 72HR Hydration
Base: Fresh, Even, Skin-Like Coverage
My picks for evening out the complexion without covering up all of my natural skin. Use the glow products and concealers for a quick everyday base, then choose the foundation or powder only when you want more coverage or shine control.
A handy colour-correcting stick for reducing the appearance of redness or dark areas before concealer. Use a small amount and blend well so the correction stays natural instead of looking heavy.
PRO FIX STICK CORRECTING CONCEALER
Gives the complexion a soft, healthy-looking glow without needing a full face of foundation. I like using it on its own, mixed with base makeup, or tapped onto the high points of the face for an effortless no-makeup makeup finish.
e.l.f.: Halo Glow Collection
A lightweight concealer for covering small blemishes, redness, or under-eye darkness while keeping the rest of the skin looking natural. I use it only where I need coverage instead of applying it all over my face.
Fit Me® Oil-Free Concealer For Redness & Blemishes
A translucent powder that helps reduce shine and softly blur the appearance of texture. I apply it only to areas that crease or get oily, keeping the cheeks lightly powdered so the skin still looks fresh.
PhotoReady™ Blurring Face Powder
My fuller-coverage option for days when I want a more perfected complexion. For a no-makeup makeup look, I would use a small amount blended out with a damp sponge or fingers rather than applying a full layer.
Infallible Infallible 32 Hour Fresh Wear Foundation - L'Oréal Paris
Cheeks + Lips: Natural Flush and Shine
Easy lip and cheek products that add a healthy-looking flush, sheer colour, and hydration in seconds. I reach for these on low-effort days because they can be applied lightly, built up gradually, and still look natural.
A sheer stain that adds a natural-looking flush to both the cheeks and lips. Apply a small amount and blend quickly, especially on the cheeks, because the formula can set fast.
Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain | Bestseller Shop Now
A versatile sheer berry shade that enhances the natural colour of the lips without looking too formal. It is an easy choice when I want a polished lip that still feels effortless.
Black Honey Collection
A glossy lip tint that adds a fresh wash of colour and shine. It works well for everyday makeup because the colour can be applied lightly for a soft stain or layered for a more noticeable lip.
THE JUICY LASTING TINT
Gives my lips a juicy, glossy tint while adding lightweight hydration. It is an easy one-step lip product for no-makeup days when I want a little colour without the precision of lipstick.
Glaze Craze Tinted Lip Serum: High-Shine Hydration | LANEIGE
Eyes + Lashes: Soft Definition
Simple eye products and tools for looking more awake without a full eyeshadow or eyeliner routine. A lifted lash, a light mascara coat, or a few subtle clusters can make a big difference while keeping the overall look fresh.
A reliable mascara option for lifting and defining the lashes while keeping the eye look simple. It is especially useful for no-makeup makeup because curled, separated lashes can make the eyes look more awake without eyeshadow.
Japanese Mascara
A classic lash curler for lifting the lashes before mascara. It makes the eyes look more awake while keeping the rest of the makeup minimal, so it is perfect for a quick no-makeup makeup routine.

Pre-glued lash clusters for adding subtle definition when I want a little more emphasis around the eyes. Because they are pre-glued, they are convenient for quick application, but I would use only a few clusters for a natural daytime look.

Set + Lock In: Makeup That Lasts
The final step for helping makeup stay in place through classes, errands, warm days, or long plans. Choose the NYX spray for a lighter everyday matte finish, or the One/Size spray when you need more serious long-wear hold.
A setting spray for helping makeup last longer while reducing excess shine. Use a light mist after makeup and focus on the centre of the face if you want to keep the finish natural rather than completely matte.
Matte Setting Spray | NYX Professional Makeup Canada
A stronger setting spray for hot, humid, or long days when I want extra staying power. It has a matte finish, so I use it sparingly with dewy products to keep the makeup looking fresh instead of flat.
