makeup & beauty

👑 current: rare beauty liquid touch foundation shade 110N + sephora green concealer. 🍸 i’m pale with olive undertones so i have to mix my foundations to match more close to my skin tone, that’s why i use a green concealer ✨update: i don’t LOVE the foundation bc i think it moves too much, what has helped to counter this is to apply with a sponge instead of brushes and then set with a lot of powder and setting spray. this foundation might work better in winter, it’s definitely not summer proof ✨ update 2: i like it better now that i’ve been using the urban decay all nighter spray, it helps a lot so the foundation doesn’t move around - 🌼 previous: fenty beauty pro filter shade 105 (shade discontinued but i still recommend the foundation, it’s long lasting but not too matte and/or dry for oily skin)

shade: alabaster - i also got the rare beauty concealer in 110N (i really like the consistency) and the rem beauty sweetener concealer in 8W (i don’t love the creamy texture but it’s a really good color match for me)

also good: nyx epic ink liner

i also used vo5 gel at some point lmao, i had an old mascara wand to help put the gel on my brows (the pros: it held really good, specially if you have coarse hair | the cons: it leaves a blueish trace & it holds very strong that it gave me headaches)

current: maybelline sky high mascara (not cruelty free 😬 - essence has a “dupe” that’s called Lash Without Limits, i’ve been meaning to try it so i can switch to a CF option) also love: almost all essence mascaras, specially the lash princess line

shade: tumble 4 ya

currently using: physician formula butter bronzer in shade bronzer (i’m kinda pale + the olive undertones, i like to use a light hand) want to try: nars matte bronzer in shade vallarta

shade: fair to light this contour is great because it *actually* is for contouring, meaning that it’s a little bit more of a grayish color and not too warm/orange (which is what most brands tend to do nowadays 🙄)

✨ shade: butter i really like it

nyx soft matte lipstick in the shade athens nyx lip liner in shade natural

nyx soft matte lipstick in the shade budapest essence 8h matte comfort lipliner in the shade dark berry (it’s literally the perfect match for the nyx lipstick)

clear shade: crystal clear for more shine and plumping effect: milky way

also love: nyx matte setting spray *i love the urban decay setting spray, but just a PSA: as of july 28th, they ended their partnership with SKINDINAVIA (the brand behind the original formula), so the product might change soon. maybe buy directly from SKINDINAVIA if you can!

also good: real techniques everyday essentials

i honestly don’t remember if i liked this or not

shade: i think alabaster or ivory? idk but it didn’t match me i’ve used a lot of drugstore foundations in the past (mainly l’oreal and maybelline) but this is the only one that i would repurchase today. it smells a bit like paint 😭 but it’s a good product

essence 10 hrs concealer - shade 10 (not really my color)

good but two things to have in mind: it’s never ending and also has a bit of a fragance (kinda like orange?)

lash sensational - maybelline (not cruelty free)

brand: cosrx i still recommend this one 100% it’s a gentle cleanser good for mornings and nights. (one of the main reasons i switched to the cerave one it’s because it’s a bit easier to find in stores)
