Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation

I’ve been really into browcara lately rather than eyebrow pencils, and this one is definitely a favorite. It’s perfect for creating soft, natural-looking brows without making them look too heavy or overdone. The skinny applicator makes it easy to coa...
peripera Speedy Skinny Brow Mascara
WDYM THIS IS SO CHEAP BUT GOATTT??? This is actually the very first eyebrow pencil that I used since I learned how to do my makeup. And I still repurchase it for everyday use (cause it's not really waterproof).
PINKFLASH - Waterproof Auto Eyebrow Pencil
Blush
A little goes a long way with this liquid blush! It’s lightweight, highly pigmented, easy to blend, and lasts beautifully throughout the day. I also love how a tiny amount is enough to add a beautiful flush of color to the cheeks, making the product ...
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush

House of Hur - Moist Ampoule Blusher
I’m impressed by how wide a variety of blush shades they offer. I really love this liquid blush because it has a light texture and blends easily. Personally, I really love the Suave Mauve shade.
e.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush

JudyDoll 2 IN 1 Highlighter Contour Palette
One thing that caught my attention was the minimalist packaging. But it turns out the formula is even more impressive—it’s quite creamy and blends easily. The slim design makes it easy for me to define specific areas of my face. It’s very practical.
Morphe Shapelifter Micro Contour Stick
Aside from its cute packaging, this highlighter delivers the perfect finish I was hoping for. The texture isn’t too creamy like a balm or too powdery —it’s just right (slightly bouncy, but only a little). Plus, the glitter particles aren’t too coarse...
Canmake - Munyutto Highlighter
Wow, I really love this highlighter balm. If you want a dewy look, this product will make your wish come true in an instant. It’s super easy to use and, most importantly, gives you a natural glass-skin look.

Mascara
It’s so easy to apply and gives you the best natural-looking curled lashes ever! No more clumpy lashes.

Good for lengthening my lashes while adding volume to it. Truly waterproof so i usually use it for heavy make up.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
Waterproof, creates natural-looking curls, and long-lasting. Another favorite mascara that I use every day.
CLIO - Kill Lash Superproof Mascara
Lippies
I bought it because this product went viral, and content creators suddenly flooded my fyp with it. I have to admit, this product is cute and practical. It has a creamy, slightly bouncy texture. It can be used on both lips and cheeks.
fwee - Lip & Cheek Blurry Pudding Pot
I really love this one when I need a long-lasting lipstick. It’s really great and comes in a wide variety of colors. It really doesn’t transfer at all (or maybe slightly) as long as you apply it correctly.
Maybelline Super Stay Vinyl Ink Liquid Lipcolor
One of my favorite Korean lip tint. This product comes in a wide variety of shades, and they’re all absolutely stunning. It’s not long-lasting, but it gives the best “my lips but better” look. Plus, it’s perfect for everyday wear cause it's hydrating...
romand - The Juicy Lasting Tint
Setting Powder
I rarely use setting powder, but I really like this one. It minimizes the appearance of my pores and does a pretty good job of controlling oil.
L'Oréal Paris Infallible Blur-Fection Longwear Loose Setting Powder
Setting Spray
I’ve been using this for years, and I think it’s a great product! It makes my makeup last longer and stay put, even though I have combination skin. It also holds my makeup well in the heat.
