I’ve been wanting to share my updated beauty routine for a while now, and I finally get the chance to do so! As a beauty enthusiast, I tend to have a lot to say, so fair warning—this post may be on the longer side. I’ve used many products that have become staples in my routine, and while not everything I use is pictured (some of my favorite makeup products are too well-loved to photograph), I’ll link to everything I mention. Stay tuned for my nighttime routine in a future post!
Skincare: Every morning, I start by cleansing my face with a Fresh Soy Cleanser, using a textured washcloth to gently scrub my skin. Next, I apply the Dear By Tone Up Booskin toner with a cotton pad, followed by a few drops of Hylamide Glow Serum, which gives my skin a subtle, natural glow. During the winter, when I tend to look a bit pale, this serum helps bring some life back to my complexion. If I have a bit more time, I’ll use a Korean sheet mask for added hydration before moving on to makeup.
Before applying makeup, I make sure to saturate my skin with moisture. Right now, I’m loving Dr. Jart’s Cermadin cream. It acts as a perfect base for makeup and provides protection during chilly shoots. For sun protection, I’ve been using MISSHA’s waterproof sun milk for years—it’s lightweight and non-greasy, which I love. If I have any breakouts, I apply an acne serum to speed up healing.
Primer: For my makeup base, I always start with Bare Minerals Skin Revver-Upper, which contains glycolic and salicylic acid to plump up the skin instantly. While it has a unique scent, it’s definitely worth it! If I know I’ll be shooting for a long time or facing unpredictable weather, I’ll also apply Hourglass’s Mineral Veil Primer. It’s amazing at making makeup waterproof, which means it will stay intact no matter what the day throws at me.
Foundation: I switch between a few foundations depending on the day, but here are my current favorites. I’m particularly loving CoverFX’s Custom Cover Drops, which is a concentrated foundation serum that you mix with skincare products. As a skincare enthusiast, this product is a dream! I mix it with a drop of honey skin oil and apply it using a stippling brush, and the result is a beautiful, dewy complexion.
Another staple is Bare Minerals Broad Spectrum Foundation in Fair. I’ve been using Bare Minerals since I was 13, and I’m still obsessed! It gives a flawless finish and photographs beautifully without ever looking cakey. If I’m dealing with a breakout, this is my go-to foundation.
Concealer, Bronzer, and Highlighter: Recently, I discovered Benefit’s Erase Paste, which has become my favorite under-eye concealer. Its salmon hue helps to correct dark circles, and its creamy texture means a little goes a long way.
When it comes to achieving glowing skin, I can’t recommend BECCA Cosmetics’ Shimmering Skin Perfector Poured enough. I use the shade Moonstone, and it adds an incredible glow that I love to layer under my foundation. For bronzing, I contour my temples and cheek hollows with Becca’s Lowlight/Highlight palette, which gives a subtle and natural look—even on pale skin like mine.
Eyes and Brows: I’m all about cream eyeshadows, and ever since I tried Charlotte Tilbury’s Eyes to Mesmerize, I’ve been hooked. I use the shades Jean and Marie Antoinette as bases almost every day. Charlotte Tilbury’s Vintage Vamp palette, with its rose-hued smokey shades, is another favorite of mine.
Marc Jacobs’ Velvet Noir mascara is my go-to for lashes right now. One coat gives me the perfect volume and length, and it’s intensely black, which I love. While I don’t usually wear false eyelashes, I always keep a few pairs in my makeup bag. The cheap ones from Liftly are surprisingly great!
For my brows, I’ve finally found the perfect product: Dior’s Brow Styler Ultra Fine Precision Pencil. This pencil is so fine, it mimics real brow hairs with every stroke, and it’s become my absolute favorite brow product.
Lips and Cheeks: I’m quite selective about my lipsticks, but Chanel’s Rouge Coco in 418 Misia is one I always reach for. It’s one of those shades that flatters everyone, and I apply it with my fingers for a more natural, sheer stain. I also recently picked up LadyKin’s One Touch Bling Glow Lipstick in Fall Rose, and I’m obsessed with the color and formula—plus, it’s only six dollars!
When it comes to blush, I love mixing several shades to create a customized look. The Narsissist Cheek Studio is perfect for this, as the colors are stunning. I’m also a huge fan of Becca’s Beach Tint Shimmer Souffle in Guava, which provides a natural flush and works as a skin luminizer.
Recent Additions: I’ve recently added a few new products to my daytime skincare routine, and I’m excited to continue testing them out and sharing my thoughts soon!
