Im a lil bit particular when it comes to liquids and creams.

I pay attention to mascaras or anything cream or liquid that i use in and around my eyes.I go over my liquid or cream foundations or any cosmetic creams and have a sight,feel and sniff test…If im unsure and i know its got age to it,i do a small patch on the neck area for any adverse reactions…

General rule is that if they look like theyve separated,have molds,changed colour or has that crayon…playdough-y smell then,its time to toss or replace…if none of this,theyre fair game…

Everything else in powder forms,i dont give a diddly squat,im keeping them forever…and ok what if they feel dry when applied? I use a mixing medium and get really creative and be inspired to use any as eyeliners too!

I try to stay away from “clean beauty”…Things are getting very expensive and i want my stuff to last longer…different strokes for different folks! You do you.

Le volume de chanel.My HG mascara.

Patrick Ta Major dimension Rose or Huda Rose Quarts

Gucci 702 Anne Lilac.Really pretty.

Try popping it in the fridge for a few minutes before you sharpen but ive noticed mine broke too before using just any regular sharpener and tip looked smooshed until i got a free sharpener from Charlotte Tilbury with my purchase and my pencil comes out sharp too and hardly any breakages.Maybe the regular sharpener isnt the right tool for our beauty pencils and theyre not too dear.

When i started getting into make up,full coverage was the thing back then and the shape tape delivered.Over time as we moved on to a more natural look,i changed too and started to spot conceal and i find my undereye area look smoother and my skin and make up look better this way.

I still use concealer but most times just spot conceal.I have a few go-to’s depending on what my skin needs on the day.I love Shiseido concealers both their gel (stick) and the regular doe foot one.They look natural and very easy to blend.I also have the Nars soft matte concealer for when i suddenly grew a giant zit but if i need something that feels light and yet gives a good coverage and some brightening,i go for my YSL touche eclat.If i look like i am sporting a dark circle,i get my becca cream corrector and apply a lil on top using the maybelline age rewind concealer.If i need to conceal some redness but drama free,i put on my tatcha silk primer.Not really a concealer but it does help even out my skin.

It seems a lot but i am a concealer whore.So much for keeping it all light and natural 😅 but my skin have never looked better lol

Blistex lip conditioner.The one with spf

I think emily noel had a video up for beginners.If i remember its a drug store starter kit and she shows what shes using and applying them in the process.I enjoyed her make up for beginners when i started to explore more…Easy and shes lovely.

My fave long lasting concealer is the NARS soft matte concealer…Its cost effective for me because these babies lasts a while.I warm it up with my finger and gently dab it on where i need concealing.It looks natural for something that look thick even under my eyes…Love the shiseido self refreshing concealers too.Look natural as well…Medium coverage and doesnt cling to dry patches.At least not for me but i admit its not very cost effective as they can be very expensive if used daily.

I always have my MAC blotting powder and my Shiseido blotting paper in my everyday bag.

Milani one.Its great for oily lids
