eyes, but make it pretty
Everything I reach for when I want to make my eyes a little more interesting — from everyday neutrals to a bit more colour, shimmer and definition.
The kind of palette that makes everyday eye makeup feel a little more special. I love having a mix of soft mattes and shimmers in one place, especially when I want something effortless but still a little glowy.
Revolution The Celestial Icon Ethereal Nudes Eyeshadow Palette
The warm pink and berry tones in this palette are what keep drawing me back to it. It has enough depth for a smoky look, but the softer shades make it just as easy to wear for everyday makeup.
Makeup Revolution Reloaded Provocative
A pretty pearly shade that works so well on its own when I want a quick eye look. It catches the light beautifully without taking much effort, which makes it one of those single shadows I can always rely on.
Flormar Eyeshadow Mono 002 Angel
The warm deep blue tone makes this such a useful little shadow for adding depth to an eye look. I like using it when I want something more defined than a neutral wash but still easy enough for everyday makeup.
Flormar Eyeshadow Mono 033 Earth
A soft matte shade that makes blending out an eye look so much easier. I like having a simple single shadow like this around for adding a little definition without having to reach for a whole palette.
KIKO Smart Colour Eyeshadow 17
Brown mascara is such an easy way to make an eye look feel softer, and this one gives my lashes plenty of definition without the harshness of black. I like it especially for more natural, everyday makeup.
Deborah 5 In 1 Extraordinary Mascara Brown
A good brow gel is one of those products I don't really appreciate until I use one that actually holds. This keeps my brows brushed into place with a clean, natural finish, so it's an easy last step when I want everything to look more polished.
NYX Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler
a little colour for the cheeks
A little colour, a little glow and just enough to make the whole face look more alive. These are the products I love for giving my cheeks that extra something.
This highlighter gives that really pretty, pearly glow without needing much product. Blossom Glow has a soft, luminous look that works especially well when I want my cheekbones to catch the light without making my whole makeup look too intense.
MegaGlo™ Highlighting Powder | Blossom Glow
Blush Money has that pretty rosy glow that makes highlighter look a little softer and more wearable. I especially like it when I want my cheekbones to catch the light without going for an overly bright or glittery finish.
e.l.f. Halo Glow Silky Powder Highlighter
This is such an easy blush for a fresh, naturally flushed look. The creamy texture blends beautifully into the skin, and the subtle glow makes the cheeks look healthy without feeling like I’ve layered on too much product.
Pastel Cream Blush Blendable 41 Dazzling
the base of it all
The not-so-glamorous but very important part of my makeup bag. These are the products and tools that help everything else sit better and look more seamless.
A really easy powder to keep in my makeup bag for those days when I want a smoother, more even-looking base. The texture is lightweight enough for everyday wear, while the buildable coverage lets me add a little more wherever I need it.
L'oréal Paris True Match Super - Blendable Powder
One of those little makeup tools that makes a bigger difference than I expected. It helps spread base products evenly without leaving a heavy, cakey finish, so I find myself reaching for it whenever I want my makeup to look more seamless.
Missha Air In Puff
A little pink corrector makes such a difference under my eyes. This stick is especially handy when I want to brighten up the area before concealer without adding another layer of heavy-looking product.
NYX Pro Fix Stick Correcting Concealer – 0.2 Pink
One of my go-to concealers when I want a little more coverage without making my under-eyes look overly heavy. The light shade works especially well for brightening, while the creamy texture makes it easy to blend into the rest of my base.
LYKD My Cover Up 135 Cream
A little set that makes having the right brush for each step so much easier. I love that everything comes together in a compact pouch, especially when I want to keep my makeup routine organized or take it with me when travelling.
KIKO Travel Brush Set
lip products I keep reaching for
Glossy, sheer, matte, balmy — basically every kind of lip product I could possibly want. These are the little things that somehow always end up taking up the most space in my makeup bag.
Such a fun everyday gloss when I want my lips to look fresh and juicy without doing a full lip look. The fruity shade and glossy finish make it especially easy to throw on whenever I’m in a hurry.
Essence Juicy Bomb Shiny Lipgloss 103 Proud Papaya
This is the one I reach for when I want a little more colour while still keeping that glossy, effortless look. The pomegranate shade gives lips more definition without feeling like I’m wearing a heavy lip product.
Essence Juicy Bomb Shiny Lipgloss 104 Poppin Pomegranate
A true red that actually looks red on the lips. The velvety matte finish makes it feel a little more polished, while the soft texture keeps it comfortable enough to wear for longer.
lykd Long-Lasting Matte Lipstick 354 Red Love
A warm rosy shade that makes a lip look instantly more polished without feeling too bold. The creamy finish is what makes this one so easy to wear, especially when I want colour without a dry-looking lip.
KIKO Smart Fusion Lipstick 406
This gives me that effortless “my lips but a little prettier” kind of look. The sheer, glossy colour makes it perfect for days when I want something comfortable and fresh rather than a full-on lipstick.
L'Oréal Paris Glow Paradise 112 – Pastel Exaltation
Almond Rose is one of those shades that makes a glossy lip look effortlessly put together. I love the combination of the muted rose colour and juicy finish — pretty on its own and even better layered.
rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint Almond Rose
This is the kind of lipstick I reach for when comfort matters just as much as colour. The soft, melting texture gives my lips a smooth glossy look and makes it easy to wear without feeling like a traditional heavy lipstick.
KIKO 3D Hydra Lipgloss 17
More than just a little tint — this one gives my lips that soft, juicy look while keeping them feeling cared for. The light coral-pink shade is especially cute when I want something effortless and glossy.
Catrice Bare Touch Lip Oil Balm
Perfect for those days when I don't want to commit to a proper lipstick. The sheer colour and glossy finish give my lips a naturally enhanced look, while the creamy texture keeps everything feeling light and comfortable.
Flormar Sheer Up Lipstick 018 Enchanted Kiss
A tinted balm that gives my lips a soft wash of rosy colour with a really pretty glossy finish. It’s the kind of product I can swipe on without thinking twice when I want my lips to look hydrated and naturally more alive.
Peripera Ink Mood Glowy Balm 06
The kind of gloss that makes even a simple lip look instantly more put together. Timeless Rose gives just enough rosy colour while the glossy finish makes the lips look smooth, juicy and a little fuller.
KIKO 3D Hydra Lipgloss 43
A muted rose liner that works with so many of my everyday lip colours. I love using it to softly define the lips before adding a lipstick or gloss, especially when I want the whole look to feel more put together.
Essence 8h Matte Comfort Lipliner – 15 Vintage Rose
A soft matte nude that makes a lip look polished without feeling too made-up. I really like the balance between the comfortable, almost weightless feel and the more defined look of a matte lipstick.
Maybelline Serum Lipstick 001 Crop Top — Matte
Not the prettiest product in my makeup bag, but definitely one of the most useful. I keep this around whenever my lips need a little extra care, especially when they feel dry or start getting chapped.
