I’m thinking orange foundation, way too much powder, blocky eyebrows, unblended eyeshadow, clumpy mascara, contour is too dark… basically stereotypical British girl makeup lmao

Colourpop Stone Cold Fox ($35) or Morphe 9W ($12) if you want something smaller. There’s also the Natasha Denona Xenon palette if you want to splurge.

I look like Marge Simpson…

I suppose this doesn’t apply to me lol but you can’t go wrong with NYX butter glosses. They have a great variety of nudey browns and pinks. Bare Minerals Gloss balms. Dior Lip Maximizers; I love the shade Intense Spice. ABH lip gloss in Latte or Tan Rose. Benefit tinted lip balms are WONDERFUL, very moisturizing with a sheer flush of color. There are sooo many colors to choose from

I don’t really play with nudes. They’re nice to have for a neutral smoky eye, but I typically do more creative looks. I’ve been on a blue eyeshadow kick lately

The secret is… you can wear ANY color you desire. All it takes is confidence. PUT IT TF ON. You know you look good, others can feel that. I wear black, blue, green, and purple lipstick unapologetically. We’re approaching winter; if you want to try deeper reds, browns, or nudes, you’ll easily blend in with everything that’s trending anyway 🌼

NYX suede matte lippies! They have a variety of cool toned nudes, and a grayish-lavender (I think it’s called moonstone??) Estée Lauder bullets are on sale, probably the cheapest I’ve ever seen them at ulta rn. Juvia’s place and ABH have great options too

I’ve never heard of this… I’ve never seen anyone do this… it may not be necessary lol

Tula’s tinted moisturizer

A little skin colored setting powder over my t-zone

ABH Dipbrow pomade

Mascara

Cream blush/bronzer. Some of them are too dewy/shiny, others are super hard to blend. I just prefer powders

Urban Hydration, specifically their micellar water. It gets EVERYTHING off and it’s a better value than Garnier. I also use it to soak my makeup brushes before washing them

Smashbox Always On foundation. I’m not satisfied with the lack of hype for it bc it’s BOMB. it is truly “always on” and transfer proof. Gives an amazing matte luminous glow

NYX lip pencils. They go on so smoothly without scratching or tugging

Pat McGrath liquid liner. Probably the only liquid liner I’ve been able to do a perfect wing with lol No skips or randomly drying out. you don’t even have to shake it

ABH Cosmos palette. This is my first palette from her, and I love it. The balance between neutral mattes and bold shimmers/glitters

Philosophy Microdelivery peel kit. I’ve been using it for the past 8 years, and it truly helps with hyperpigmentation and breakouts. It’s a little pricey, but it WORKS

BH Cosmetics brushes. They pick up product very well. No shedding and don’t stain as easily as some of my other brushes

Smashbox mattifying primer. As an oily girl, I can’t live without it. It’s the only one that seems to work for me

Elf Power Grip Primer. Turned my face into an oil slick

Fenty Pro Filt’r foundation. Too DRY, even for my oily skin 😂

Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating cleanser. Dried my skin out to the point of peeling…

Loving Tan Deluxe Tanning mousse. Made my skin smell like corn chips of 2 days 💀💀

Tarte brow pomade. Too oily, nearly dripped down my face

Tula Brighten Up Primer. No smoothing/blurring effect. Caused my foundation to pill

I ordered a tall acrylic organizer from Amazon for about $30. It has tons of little drawers to keep everything compartmentalized. All of my palettes are just stacked on the counter next to it

Tbh, I haven’t gotten on board with cream blushes/bronzers. I feel like they’re harder to blend and not as “revolutionary” as most people make them seem. Powder is easier to manipulate and build, and doesn’t disappear from trying to blend it
