As an avid makeup lover, I have grown up experimenting with different products and looks. I started playing around with makeup in fifthor sixthgrade after watching ā€œbeauty gurusā€ like Bethany Mota; theydo their own makeup and recommend products.Ā 

Over the years, I have continued to find new products that better represent my style. Iā€™ve found plenty of these products from browsing stores like Ulta Beauty and Sephora, from friends, andvia my TikTok Forpage. Recently Iā€™ve been into the clean look, where your skin glows; blush goes really good with it, as well as bronzer to make yourself look sun-kissed and bold; itā€™s important to have natural eyebrows and a good coat of mascara too.Ā 

Iā€™d say my inspiration for this look comes from apps like Pinterest and TikTok, particularly juicyjrock, ā€‹ā€‹urlocaltoothfairy, and asapabes, who are all TikTok creators.

Here are some of the products Iā€™ve been loving that have helped me achieve this look:

1. Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer by Too Faced Cosmetics

This concealer is full coverage, long-lasting, and it doesnā€™t make me breakout or dry my skin out. It blends in and gives your face the perfect base for other makeup. I donā€™t wear foundation because I donā€™t feel that itā€™s necessary, but I still like wearing concealer to even out my skin tone and cover up any blemishes I have at the moment.

2. Soft Pinch Liquid Blush by Rare Beauty in the Color ā€˜Happyā€™

This blush is GORGEOUS. It even won the Allure Best of Beauty Award for 2022. Iā€™ve never been super into blush, until I discovered this..Itā€™s lightweight, long-lasting, and so pretty. A little goes a long way with this product; a tiny dot on each cheek is all you need to look GORGEOUS.

3. Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer by Too Faced

Iā€™ve used this blush for probably 5+ years (that makes me feel old). In fact, the bronzer I currently have is one they no longer produce; andthe label has been rubbed off completely. It lasts all day long and is a gorgeous bronzer; it even smells like chocolate.

4. Translucent Loose Setting Powder from Laura Mercier

This powder is very popular and for good reason! It lasts a long time, itā€™s oil free, and it works for most skin types.

5. Brow Wiz Ultra-Slim Precision Brow Pencil from Anastasia Beverly Hills

This is mygo-to eyebrow product for natural-looking, full brows. Iā€™ve even converted my mom into liking it. This brow pencil is perfect to fill in your eyebrows in sparse areas, and they have tons of shades to choose from. I personally use the color ebony to match my dark brown hair.

6. Strong Hold Clear Brow Gel from Anastasia Beverly Hills

I use this product to keep my eyebrows looking good all day. It sets your brows in place so you donā€™t have to feel dry, gross, or crispy.

7. Roller Lash Curling & Lifting Mascara from Benefit Cosmetics

This is kind of a funny problem to have, but I already have long, dark eyelashes since Iā€™m part Armenian. So I donā€™t need anything to make my eyelashes insanely large, just mascara to further define my eyelashes. This mascara curls your eyelashes in the process and doesnā€™t feel tacky.

8. Lip Glowy Balm in Berry from Laneige

I recently discovered this product since Laneigeā€™s lip masks have become popular. I love a somewhat natural and glowy look of lipgloss, but I hate how some lip glosses dry out your lips. So far this product hasnā€™t dried my lips out, and itā€™s a nice final touch to your makeup look!

I love how current makeup trends seem to be about embracing your natural features. I love the feeling of applying makeup and feeling like it represents me! These products are all. They last a long time, depending on how often theyā€™reused. In my humble opinion, theyā€™re well worth the cost!Ā 

This is a solid everyday makeup look. Itā€™s not too complicated, and it complements almost anyoneā€™s features! I hope you gain some inspiration from this article and try out some of these products!
