Step 1: Skin

I keep my skin base simple but effective! 🧴✨ I use Japanese sunscreen for ultimate protection, a Korean primer for smoothness, and e.l.f. concealer to cover any imperfections. Fun fact: on Chinese social media, people are now calling non-covered eye...

Comes in a set of two! I use the evening one before bed and the day one RIGHT AFTER washing my face to lock in moisture and prep my skin for the rest of the routine.

ESSENHERB Bounce it Back Day Cream

Feels super lightweight and silky! Perfect for sun protection with an airy finish. Fun bonus: water actually makes its grip stronger, so you don’t have to worry about it sliding off.

ANESSA Sunscreen Milk

Can attest that this corrects inconsistencies in skin tone while giving a glow. There’s a color for everyone, so you can pick what suits you best.

Laneige Skin Veil Base

Super creamy and easy to apply for blemishes like acne scars. Key tip: dab only on areas that need coverage, not the whole face.

NYX Smooth Whip Matte Lip Cream

The final step is all about small details that make a big difference! 👀 I usually skip eyeliner for a fresh, clean look and focus on curling my lashes and adding clear mascara 😉. These quick touches open up the eyes and give that polished, put-toge...

Can confirm: this works amazingly well even on monolids like mine! It really does have an effect on ANY eye type, just like the box says.

Wet n Wild High On Lash Eyelash Curler

A final sweep on eyelashes and eyebrows for a natural, lifted look. Super clear, stays on all day, and you don’t even need mascara on top!

Wet n Wild Mega Clear Brow & Lash Mascara

🌸 If I’m feeling playful, I’ll go for a shade a couple of tones lighter than my natural hair. It instantly gives me a soft-girl, effortlessly cute vibe while keeping brows polished. Perfect for adding a little personality without overdoing it!
