✨Your vanity is never enough✨, and you know what? Let it never be. Babe, here's your next obsession, your next indulgence, your next "𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐍𝐎𝐖".

Notes
Delivers flawless, long-lasting skin, perfect for formal events and special occasions. For the best finish, apply it first with a flat brush or spatula, then blend with a beauty sponge. Since it oxidizes, opt for a shade slightly lighter than your usual tone for a seamless match. ✨

Notes
✨ Skin preparation is the most important step in makeup—the one you simply can't skip. Remember: THIS ISN’T SKINCARE REPLACEMENT, but the essential bridge that follows your skincare routine. Makeup doesn't create beauty; it enhances what's already there. A well-cared-for skin, prepped after proper skincare, ensures every product applies flawlessly and lasts longer. ✨

Notes
✨Primer is optional but strategic. If your skin is properly prepped, you can skip it - but it makes all the difference for extended wear and flawless finish. I've included these options in case you want that extra boost, but they're completely dispensable if your current prep meets your needs.✨
