use more of your nail polish! I search for color palettes on Pinterest for inspo
Sadly this is worth it. I really hate anything that is too thick on my face and this is not that. It feels like serum and makes my skin look so healthy.
Favorite nail polish, esp. the jellys--goes on smooth, dries reasonably quickly, lasts ages, and comes off easily. This particular shade (Jade Jelly) is perfect for when you want nails that look just like milky green jadeite glassware. I am also partial to Cirque's silver; pleasingly shiny.
It never makes me break out. It’s weightless and makes my skin look air brushed. It’s expensive but a little goes a long way.
all credit to Ali Ambrose (@geniusgirlalerts) for making me feel the prettiest I’ve ever felt…would be perfect as a DIY wedding look or to go run through a meadow
Perfect creamy coral blonzer for summer, gives you such a nice sun-kissed glow and it smells like candy (think too faced chocolate bar palette smell). I like to put on saie dew blush in hottie and layer this on top
I started using this after it was emphatically recommended to me by my friend Jordy and she's right — it is the superior mascara for lashes that don't look mascara-y. Something about that wand!
I’m very picky about brow products because with the wrong one I look nuts (lots of natural brow) this tames AND fills in the holes without making them stand out in a 2016 way
I am the least makeup-y person you will ever meet--I literally wore just tinted chapstick on my wedding day. I pride myself on being very low-maintenance, a relic of my all-girls' boarding school days. That being said, every once in a while I wake up and just need concealer. This is the only one I've ever used that made me look like I wasn't using any! I love the design and how easily it goes on. I always have it with me.
When I tell you this is THE BEST lip product of all time. It’s matte but somehow moisturizing and gives you that sexy French girl blurred lip. You can apply it without a mirror (huzzah!) and there is not a single bad shade. I’m obsessed with Calisson because it’s the perfect nude but I love Betise, Mon Cheri and the new Chocolat color too. Beautiful on every skin tone (huzzah!) I’m also obsessed with their violently purple blush it looks absolutely gorgeous on and terrifying in the pan.
I am typically not a big eyeshadow wearer (hooded eyes + bushy brow = not ideal shadow conditions), but I love this one. It's easy to apply, doesn't budge, and is easily buildable. I am not one of those people who look good after crying, but this gives me that flush that the people who DO look good after crying get naturally.
My absolute favorite. I wear this lipstick everyday, and I’m obsessed with how it wears on me. Through every level of opacity, it brings a certain depth and mystique to the wearer. Blot it on soft or smear it on heavy or tap it onto your cheeks and eyelids. This lipstick is my everything.
Idk it’s really scratching an itch for me
There is no better lip gloss. Not sticky and the packaging is just perfect.
fool proof John Waters eyes
I’m using the “perfect without trying” neutral shade. It was an impulse buy that is not disappointing me. If you see it in the wild and you’re curious: I say yes! 👍🏼
the most beautiful buildable wash of orchid lavender & i love how it makes my eye color pop
The only eyebrow pencil IMO. Makes them look so natural and fluffy.
I’ve been following Fara Homidi’s work in editorial and high fashion for a few years with admiration, so when she launched her eponymous makeup line last year and they reached out to me for gifting, suffice to say I was overjoyed. The product quality is superb and the packaging and presentation is luxurious af. Highly highly recommend!
This eyeliner makes your eyes look brighter and more open!
"green nail polish is a money $pell"
Frankly all of their bisou balm and plume lip, worth getting in every colour that suits you. Easy to throw on and walks the dream line between casual and fancy.
Some girl on Tik Tok was talking and I thought “wow, what is that lipstick!?” And not moment second later she said “and for everyone who wants to know about my lipstick…” Influence me!!!
