These are the makeup products I actually use and keep reaching for instead of the ones that just sit in my drawer looking pretty 😭 I like makeup that looks soft, smooth, and natural instead of super heavy or overdone, so most of these work really well for everyday makeup, Douyin-inspired looks, or just that clean pretty makeup style. I also have oily/combo skin, so if a product made it onto this list, it means it survived school days, random heat, long wear, and me being extremely picky about texture. All these products also work for dry skin as well, as despite having oily skin, my skin dries out pretty easily. Most of these products layer really nicely together too, which honestly matters more than people think. None of these are “perfect full glam influencer products.” They’re just products that genuinely made me look better consistently and were easy to use in real life.
