Breakdown of Products:
Dior Mascara
For voluminous, perfectly separated lashes, Dior's mascara is a must. It provides intense black color, lasting definition, and a fuller lash look that opens up the eyes. Its formula is designed to nourish, so you get both beautiful lashes and care in one product.
The Dior Maximizer 4D Lash Primer Serum has become a must. I love how it instantly gives my lashes extra volume, length, and curl, while also nourishing them over time. The microfibers in the formula really add thickness, giving my lashes a fuller, more dramatic look without feeling heavy. It’s the perfect base before mascara and makes such a difference in achieving that long-lasting, bold lash effect I’m always after. I truly can't recommend it enough!
The Dior Eyelash Curler is one of my favorite beauty tools. It effortlessly curls my lashes without ever pinching or tugging, which is a game-changer for sensitive eyes. The precision and ergonomic design make it super easy to use, and the curl lasts for hours. It gives my lashes that beautiful, lifted look, making my eyes appear more open and defined. It’s such a simple yet luxurious addition to my routine that I can’t live without!
Charlotte Tilbury Bronzer
I love using Charlotte Tilbury’s bronzer for a warm, sun-kissed glow. The formula is smooth and buildable, giving me a natural-looking tan without any harsh lines. It blends effortlessly into my skin, leaving a beautiful, luminous finish. I wear the shade 3 Tan.
Pat McGrath Divine Rose Blush
Pat McGrath’s Divine Rose blush is a stunning, universally flattering shade. The creamy texture provides a soft, natural flush, and the pigment is perfectly balanced—giving me just the right amount of color for a fresh, dewy look.
Makeup by Mario Eyeshadow
For eyeshadow, I rely on Makeup by Mario for its creamy texture and rich pigment. The palette blends beautifully, with shades that can easily transition from a subtle daytime look to a bold evening statement. I love how versatile it is for creating various eye looks. I use the Master Mattes palette.
Haus Labs Foundation
Haus Labs foundation gives me flawless, full coverage with a natural, dewy finish. It feels lightweight on the skin and gives a smooth, even complexion, making it perfect for both everyday wear and photoshoots. I wear the shade A64.
Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick & Lipliner
This iconic lipstick and lipliner duo from Charlotte Tilbury gives my lips a soft, natural, and perfectly defined look. The nude-pink shade complements my natural lip color, while the liner ensures my lipstick stays in place all day. I use shade Nude Pink.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze is a game-changer for perfect, sculpted brows. It keeps my brows in place without feeling sticky or heavy, and I love how it gives a fluffy, full look without the need for touch-ups.
Louis Vuitton Cosmetic Bag
I keep all my essentials in the luxurious Louis Vuitton cosmetic bag. Not only is it stylish, but it’s also functional and spacious enough to hold everything I need for my makeup routine, while adding a touch of elegance to my collection.
These products have truly become a staple in my daily routine, helping me stay polished and ready for whatever the day throws at me.
