You can never go wrong with the clear one. But if you’re coming to Asia for a while, buy atleast five
Lip Gloss
More on the Cheap side of foundation but the value is still there. Great especially if you're testing your makeup skills
Fit Me® Matte + Poreless Foundation Makeup
Bought this on the fly and didn’t regret. I also use it on my lips too. It’s not that expensive and the options are endless.
SHEGLAM Blush |SHEIN
The concealer for both expensive and cheap makeup users.
Fenty Beauty Concealer + Corrector
It's “translucent” and can last a long especially if you're a light makeup user.
Ponds Face Powder
It’s light weight and blends well. If you’re a beginner makeup girl, it’s a great starter.

Don't know how do use these but I figured you can for me.

I consider elf the high end "cheap" makeup option, but hey!
Poreless Face Primer- Large
It's not the best but it's affordable and there are a few shades as well.
Bare Focus Tinted Hydrator Tinted Skin Veil | Porcelain
Personally haven't used it but the brand speaks for itself. And, if your shade, you can find it in any drugstore.
Hydrating Camo Concealer
Water works just as fine but if you're feeling fancy this works too.
Clinique Makeup Brush Cleanser
Low-key saving this as a reminder to buy when I get my makeup game up. But before I do you can.
Makeup Brushes Set, Mlemle Professional 25 Pcs ...
You can never go wrong with a clear Lip Gloss and it's something I highly recommend for my simple but efficient girly.

Oily Skin Care Options
Things I've learned since (minimally) getting into skincare while living in Asia.
I swear by this BHA. A big brother to the Cosrx’s.
Paula's Choice | Shop Paula's Choice
Can be strong for someone who doesn’t use BHA but definitely worth trying for a while to see if your skin can handle it because it’s going to be worth it if it does.
【SOME BY MI】BHA
Something to have in your skincare bag.
Some By Mi Spot Treatment
Get it
Pure Cleansing Oil, Face Makeup Remover
Not black skin friendly but the product itself is good.
COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50
As someone who lives in Asia, the cheaper masks are just as good if you wear them consistently .
Best Facial Masks
I can personally attest to everything on this list.
Pin on Skin Care (from living in Asia)
Don't overuse and it's not a cure to the pimple but it's a really good QUICK fix.
[COSRX] Acne Pimple Master Patch (24 Patch)
An everyday BHA that's worth more the price.
COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid
I don't recommend using forever. Once the takes care of the problem stop using. (IMO)
Niacinamide (Oily Skin and Pores)
It's Mattifying but not sticky which for me is a plus. But most importantly is wasn't shiny.
Effaclar Mat Mattifying Face Moisturizer for Oily Skin
This and Some By Mi are some of the best spot treatment for ance prone skin people. From bigger pimples to smaller ones. It's not a miracle thing but it works progressively.
Effaclar Duo Acne Spot Treatment
Not a must have but a good to have.
Effaclar Clarifying Solution | Acne Toner
The Green has some tingling feeling and feels nice.
Cleanser + Scrubs for Refreshed Skin
Used these when I was in Korea and it helped my dark spots's journey.
Vitamin C Dark Spot Pad
Get it! The most gentle of peels I've tried.
AprilSkin Calendula Facial Peel Off Mask
I recommend the orange set but I green bottle face cleaner and the face mask.

L'Oréal Paris Bright Reveal 12% Niacinamide
