As an avid makeup lover, I’ve grown up experimenting with different products and looks. I started playing around with makeup in fifth or sixth grade after watching ābeauty gurusā like Bethany Mota; they do their own makeup and recommend products.Ā
Over the years, I’ve continued to find new products that better represent my style. Iāve found plenty of these products from browsing stores like Ulta Beauty and Sephora, from friends, and via my TikTok For You page. Recently Iāve been into the clean look, where your skin glows. Blush goes really good with it, as well asĀ bronzer to make yourself look sun-kissed and bold; itās important to have natural eyebrows and a good coat of mascara too.Ā
Iād say my inspiration for this look comes from apps like Pinterest and TikTok, particularly juicyjrock, āāurlocaltoothfairy, and asapabes, who are all TikTok creators.
Here are some of the products Iāve been loving that have helped me achieve this look:
This concealer is full coverage, long-lasting, and it doesnāt make you breakout or dry out your skin. It blends in and gives your face the perfect base for other makeup. I donāt wear foundation because I donāt feel that itās necessary, but I still like wearing concealer to even out my skin tone and cover up any blemishes I have at the moment.Ā
This blush is GORGEOUS. It even won the Allure Best of Beauty Award for 2022. Iāve never been super into blush, until I discovered this. Itās 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.
Iāve 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; and the label has been rubbed off completely. It lasts all day long and is a gorgeous bronzer; it even smells like chocolate.
This powder is very popular and for good reason! It lasts a long time, itās oil free, and it works for most skin types.
This is my go-to eyebrow product for natural-looking, full brows. Iāve 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.
I use this product to keep my eyebrows looking good all day. It sets your brows in place so you donāt have to feel dry, gross, or crispy.
This is kind of a funny problem to have, but I already have long, dark eyelashes since Iām part Armenian. So I donāt need anything to make my eyelashes insanely large, just mascara to further define my eyelashes. This mascara curls your eyelashes in the process and doesnāt feel tacky, which is a plus.
I recently discovered this product since Laneigeās lip masks have become popular. I love a somewhat natural and “glowy” look when it comes to lip gloss, but I hate how some lip glosses dry out your lips. So far this product hasnāt dried my lips out, and itās 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 great quality. They last a long time, depending on how often theyāre used. In my humble opinion, theyāre well worth the cost!Ā
This is a solid everyday makeup look. Itās not too complicated, and it complements almost anyoneās features! I hope you gain some inspiration from this article and try out some of these products!
