My Current Go-to Makeup Products

👋🏾 Hi, hi everyone! 😊 I hope your week is coming along well. I don't consider myself a makeup expert. Still, I enjoy experimenting with it and believe having the right products is key to getting started. Fortunately, there are tons of make-up products that cater to different skin tones and undertones, skin types, and needs that accommodate every budget. Although I don't wear makeup every day, there are a few products I always reach for. So, let’s dive in!

NARS Radiance Primer

I fell in love with NARS products about two years ago, and since then, the NARS Radiance Primer with SPF 35 has become my go-to. I love that it contains SPF and is lightweight and oil-free. I also like the pearly pink tint; sometimes, I wear it alone as a moisturiser.

Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation with SPF 15

Similar to the NARS primer, I was looking for a lightweight, buildable, oil-free foundation with SPF. I walked into a Boots store, and on Bobbi Brown's beauty advisor's recommendation, I purchased the Skin Foundation SPF 15 in the shade of Golden Almond.

I love how one to two pumps go a long way—it blends effortlessly into my skin, even out the hyperpigmentation around my cheeks, and lasts for hours (think up to 8 hours!).

By Terry Lash-Expert Twist Brush Mascara

If I had to choose just one makeup item to live with, it would definitely be mascara. It's a product I can't live without and always repurchase, regardless of the brand. I am currently using the By Terry Lash–Expert Twist Brush Mascara in black. What I love most about it is that you can achieve two looks—length and volume—just by twisting the end of the brush handle. Essentially, it’s a versatile, all-in-one mascara.

Westman Atelier Bonne Brow Defining Pencil 

Another essential makeup product in my bag is my brow pencil. I like the Westman Atelier Bonne Brow Pencil, particularly because it has a retractable angled tip and a detachable spoolie, which makes defining my brows so much easier.

Rouge À Lèvres Matte Lipstick

I always reach for either a lip balm or a matte lippy. Right now, I'm loving the Rouge À Lèvres Matte Lipstick from Gucci in the shade "They met in Argentina". It’s an ultra-pigmented, moisturising matte lipstick with a velvety finish that’s buttery and long-lasting. It’s my go-to for a pop of colour!

Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder

The Hourglass veil translucent setting powder is another holy grail in my collection and worth the rave! I dab it under my eyes to prevent creasing and all over my face to set my makeup, and the result is a natural, flawless finish.

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray  

Finally, the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray is another staple in my makeup bag. Like the Hourglass setting powder, it keeps my makeup looking fresh and intact throughout the day. It’s the perfect final step to complete my routine!
