we are saying goodbye to our high school selves, the teenage girls who wanted their faces to look pale and lifeless…we are wishing her well…but now we are in our twenties and letting ourselves be kind and good to others and especially to ourselves and putting so much life into our faces! it rocks and feels so good i’m so serious
my favourites lately are benefit benetint, nars orgasm cream blush stick, and glossier cloud paint in storm

I’ve always been a blush girlie, but I never knew where to place my blush. For awhile now, i’ve just started putting it everywhere coating my cheek it. The look has been dubbed “boyfriend blush” by tiktok but inspiration for me was taken by Devon Aoki blush look. However, i don’t always use orange or bronze blushes, I switch it up to rosy pinks from time to time like the picture i added.
I just want to look like the sun planted a huge kiss on my cheek !!

I have recently discovered the magic of simplifying my skincare routine and makeup has since followed!
I use drugstore products mostly, and I am v fair so I may use products that have shite shade ranges (sorry in advance if true)
my go-to products:
*elf suntouchable primer is MAGIC — a total supergoop dupe that makes my skin glow (and has sunscreen)
*milani conceal + perfect foundation literally makes my jaw drop I’m OBSESSED, it doesn’t cake or pill, makes my skin feel hydrated, and blends sooo easily. I literally use my hands
*eyelash curler, a cheap one works just as good as an expensive one
*nars orgasm liquid blush is sooo good, can also pat with my hands to blend easily
*clear mascara or brow gel + a solid tweezer and mini scissors to maintain brows
*find a lip liner pencil shade that works for you and buy 20; lip lining is easy and really makes a difference even if you don’t use lipstick! (as long as the shade is subtle)

I can’t help but feel some sense of self-betrayal when I reach for a nude pink instead of a burnished rose or plummy shade, but it’s what I’ve been really into now. I’ve especially been enjoying doing a velvet matte finish on my base makeup and making my lips glossy nude pink as a textural contrast.
I didn’t used to need a powder, because my skin is relatively dry, but I’ve been using heavy moisturizer and sunscreen to “prime” my face and it makes the center of my face unflatteringly shiny.
The soft matte finish is also very 90s needless to say.
It’s just pretty and wearable.
