If you wear foundation or a skin tint put highlighter on underneath and be GENEROUS If you donāt wear foundation something liiiike the Chanel baume multi stick or the westman atelier stick in like the almost clear color (sry these two are expensive but I think worth it!) Liquid blush is also good - the new huda beauty one, the new lawless cream blush, and the rhode pocket blush or whatever, simi haze Sun flush is also sooooooo good like maybe if you just do one go with that itās so easy to use and the colors are perfect Powder lasts longer tho and smudges less and if you want that Iād say go with the simi haze bronzer I think? Idk itās in a red compact
I have recently discovered the magic of simplifying my skincare routine and makeup has since followed! I use drugstore products mostly, and I am v fair so I may use products that have shite shade ranges (sorry in advance if true) my go-to products:
*elf suntouchable primer is MAGIC ā a total supergoop dupe that makes my skin glow (and has sunscreen)
*milani conceal + perfect foundation literally makes my jaw drop Iām OBSESSED, it doesnāt cake or pill, makes my skin feel hydrated, and blends sooo easily. I literally use my hands
*eyelash curler, a cheap one works just as good as an expensive one
*nars orgasm liquid blush is sooo good, can also pat with my hands to blend easily
*clear mascara or brow gel + a solid tweezer and mini scissors to maintain brows
*find a lip liner pencil shade that works for you and buy 20; lip lining is easy and really makes a difference even if you donāt use lipstick! (as long as the shade is subtle)
Do you want a simple, buildable everyday routine? Or are you looking for fun, experimental and accessible recs? My everyday makeup is blush (Ilia At Last multistick), mascara (Ilia volumizing mascara), and lipstick (Clinique Black Honey, or Ilia Colorblock in Tango). When I want concealer or foundation, I use Nars Radiant Creamy concealer, and Tarte Maracuja tinted hydratorā if I want something lighter I might just top my face with Laura Mercier loose setting powder. If you want eye makeup or night out recs, I have this Morphe pink palette Iāve used forever, and the Tarte Quick Stick eyeliner and shadow sticks. Itās very okay to still feel ābad at makeupāā it should feel fun, and low stakes, and what works for other people might not be what works for youā you have your whole life to find your products.
