Base
My go-to base products that just make my skin look better.
It blurs my skin and gives a nice base for my makeup, but doesn’t feel heavy or thick.
Tatcha The Silk Canvas Protective Primer
My go-to concealer, the coverage is excellent, it hides my dark circles, redness and blemishes without looking too heavy. It also stays put most of the day.
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer
I’ve been using this for a while now and it’s honestly one of the nicest foundations I’ve tried. Works well on my skin and doesn’t separate or go patchy.
Light Reflecting Advanced Skincare Foundation
I like using it alone for a natural glow, sometimes I wear it under my foundation, other times I mix a little with my foundation.
Hollywood Flawless Filter: Glow Booster
Eyes
Everything I reach for when I want my eyes to look awake and put together.
Blends like a dream, there is a mix of matte and shimmer shades. This palette is my go‑to when I want a warm eye look.
Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette
The pencil glides on smoothly without pulling or tugging. I find it easy to smudge or smoke out.

The only mascara I’ve found that holds up my lashes whilst giving volume and length.

The texture is creamy and blends out easily. My favorite shade is Chouchette.

This blush is so pigmented, literally the tiniest dot is enough. I learned that the hard way the first time 😅

I love how it catches the light and gives a subtle glow.

When I want a fresh, polished lip, this is my choice.
Nude Pink Lipstick: Pillow Talk - Matte Revolution | Charlotte Tilbury

The body stuff I actually use and love.
Because it’s a wash‑off, I treat it like body makeup, then it washes off easily with soap and water.
