Hey Y’all! So I don’t wear foundation often but when I do I only go for two different ones. Which is The Fenty Foundation (dewy formula) or NYX - Total Control Drop Foundation which is what I’ll be talking about today! 🤎 When looking for a foundation I usually always go for a dewy look. I’m not a huge fan of matte anything. The thing I like about the Total Control drop foundation is that it’s soft matte but can be easily manipulated to give a more dewy look. 🤎 I love the Total Control drop foundation simply because a little goes a long way! I have sensitive combination skin and foundation tends to irritate it. But with this foundation I have found solace! It goes on super smooth and I only need a few drops. I usually go for light coverage as you can see from the pictures. The dropper definitely helps in controlling how much foundation you need. 🤎 Another great thing is that NYX is super affordable and the same applies to this foundation! It’s only about $14 and because you only need a little it lasts for quite a while. I’ve had this bottle for about 6 months and it’s still has a lot! 🤎 When applying the foundation I simply put 1-2 drops on the back of my hand and take NYX - Holographic Halo Liquid Highlighting Brush and dip it in the foundation and just buff it over my skin. I like this brush but I don’t love it. I know it’s a highlighter brush but I just haven’t found a foundation brush that cuts it for me. I would love some suggestions if you guys have some! 🤎 After buffing out the foundation with the brush I take a beauty blender and dip it in the foundation as well to cover any spots I miss. Then I spray the beauty blender with NYX - Dewy Finish Makeup Setting Spray and just blend out a little more this helps add a little bit of a dewy sheen to the foundation. I absolutely love the Dewy Finish setting spray it gives me everything I’m looking for! ✨ In conclusion this foundation is really good and it helps blur out imperfections and has a very buildable formula so it works anywhere from light to full coverage! You can leave it as a soft matte as is or add a nice setting spray to give you any look you desire! ✨I’d love to hear your tips and tricks on foundation and good foundation brush recommendations! ✨ BESOS 😘

The first makeup sponge I used was the beauty blender pro sponge. I loved it so much. I used it every single day to blend my foundations, blushes, and powders. After using it so much it started looking old and I realized I definitely didn’t want to spend $20 for a sponge. I started trying out so many affordable ones and lots of them didn’t work until... Real techniques miracle complexion sponge, when it’s dry it feels slightly stiff but still nice and soft to the touch. When you wet it it becomes super soft. It blends my foundation very well, similar to the beauty blender at a 1/3 of the price! One of my favorite sponges so far! $5.99 and I’ve found these at marshalls and tj maxx for about $3-4! REAL TECHNIQUES - Miracle Complexion Sponge Hank & Henry midori sponge set, I got this sponge set in my boxycharm and I really like it. The set had the large and small sponge. Slighter stiffer than the real techniques but a nice sponge. The small one is perfect for blending on the inner corners or any hard to reach area. The large sponge gets HUGE when it’s wet, great for apply blush in my opinion and anything you want. Even if it’s kinda stiff this is still very soft. Unfortunately online they’re sold separately $14.00 for the large sponge and $9.00 for the small one. HANK & HENRY - Midori Bundle Miss A AOA studio super soft wonder blender, one of the best really affordable sponges I’ve tried. It’s really soft and blends like a dream. Very very slight stiffness when dry but super soft when wet. Haven’t had any problems with this one. $1.55! I didn’t have mines with me so I attached a picture of it. AOA studio - AOA Wonder Blender Last and definitely not least the original beauty blender in pro, super soft to the touch and incredible at blending. The hype is real. $20 beautyblender - Pro If you want to spend $20 every few months then this sponge is worth it, super great! If you’re like me that prefers a more affordable one than these options are great as well. These all feel great on the skin, blend your makeup and at the end of my makeup routine I’ve found that these all look very similar and almost identical to each other. ☺️✨

So excited to be showing this spooky Halloween Look that I did! Chucky is obviously a classic and definitely frightened me as a kid, take this as me reclaiming that fear lol. I made my own scar wax to do this, followed a video online where all you’d need is flour and Vaseline. I’ll be honest it’s a tedious process but the end result as you can see is worth it. I felt perfectly creepy in this, if I’m being honest it came out way better than I hoped. Sfx Makeup is an area that I would love to get better at, and I’m glad to see growth in this look. I bought fake blood and liquid latex from Walmart, I don’t have a full sfx kit yet. But I did also use Milk Makeup products for my base, and if you follow me on here you definitely know how much I love the Milk brand.

Happy Friday, cherie fam! I don’t know about you, but my friday makeup tends to be especially quick and easy. Anyone who has a zoom call with me on fridays can deal with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) I wanted to share the makeup I put on this morning in just under ten minutes! The finished look is casual, put together, and glowy, and my real skin is still visible under the light makeup. Basic info about my skin: I’m oily and acne prone, and my main concerns right now are dark circles and hyperpigmentation from acne. I also have sparse brows and I like to fill them in—if I do nothing else, I’ll do my brows because I feel naked without them 😂 Here’s a step by step, including all the products I used: First, I apply a few drops of the Kosas - Tinted Face Oil Foundation all over my face, blending it into my hairline and neckline. I’ve reviewed this before, so I won’t go into detail here, but I love it! I just spread it and pat it in with my fingers—no beauty blender/brush needed. Next, I use the Kosas - Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer under my eyes and on any blemishes. Scroll back a few posts for my thoughts on this concealer and why it’s worth repurchasing! Third, I apply the cream blush from the Kosas - Color & Light: Cream Blush & Highlighter Duo on the apples of my cheeks. I usually use a brush, but I can use my fingers in a pinch. I have the color Helios and it’s such a beautiful deep orange shade. The formula itself is very creamy and nourishing—it really feels like skincare AND makeup. I set everything with a light dusting of the Milk MAKEUP - Blur + Set Matte Loose Setting Powder . I love this powder, and it’s lasting me FOREVER even with daily use, but I desperately want them to improve the packaging 😩 The mesh makes it difficult to get the product out at times. I do my brows with a few quick swipes of the Milk MAKEUP - KUSH Fiber Brow Gel , my holy grail brow gel. This is the only product on my brows and LOOK how it fills them in! I do a quick coat of the bareMinerals - Lashtopia Mega Volume Mineral-Based Mascara to add length and volume to my lashes. This mascara last alllll day without flaking at all on me. Last, I swipe on some nooni - Appleberry Lip Oil , and I’m done! I LOVE this tinted oil—it feels very hydrating without being sticky, and it’s an incredible bargain compared to other tinted lip oils out there (I got it for $12 on amazon). It has a pink tint and a subtle berry flavor. And that’s it! All of these products are so simple to use, making them perfect for a quick and easy makeup look. #CheriePartner

#MAYBELLINE - Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer[products]#[FiveStars] this primer beats pricier ones like the Porefessional, the MAC one, and more. Covers up pores well and is very helpful for getting that base to stick. #MAYBELLINE - Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer[products]#[FiveStars] HG here!! I have had countless people recommend this baby and I finally got it - I love it!! I wouldn't say it's the fullest coverage out there, but it blends very easily and gets the job done. The sponge applicator is very comfortable and unique. #NYX - BB Cream[products]#[FiveStars] Honestly they could market this as a light to medium coverage foundation. The shade Natural is perfect for me, although I believe their shade range is only okay (great for mediums like me but fails darker skin tones). Looks close to real skin and sinks in easily without drying. #essence - Brighten Up! Banana Powder[products]#[FourStars] Only okay powder. I wish it were more pigmented or just was a translucent powder, since it can't seem to make up its mind. Mattifies and does lighten though, so I'd recommend. #REVOLUTION - Bronze and Glow Duo[products]#[FourStars] This baby is very close to my heart as it was my first bronzer AND my first highlighter! The bronzer is perfect; it blends easily and looks very natural. The highlighter is a little dark for my skin but it works in certain lights. The biggest plus of this duo though is IT SMELLS LIKE CHOCOLATE. I REPEAT. IT SMELLS LIKE CHOCOLATE!! #MAYBELLINE - Nudes of New York Eyeshadow Palette[products]#[FourStars] this palette is wonderful for beginners or to keep in your purse for simple, everyday looks or slightly glammed up neutral looks. The shimmers are beautiful and all the shades blend well. My only complaint is that the mattes aren't 100% matte, but it's hard to tell. #MAYBELLINE - Hyper Easy Waterproof Liquid Liner In Pitch Black[products]#[FiveStars] Yay for the liner! It does what it's supposed to, it's *actually* water resistant, and fairly smudge proof. It can run dry for short periods sometimes but not often. I certainly recommend this product :) And there we have it! I don't think any of the products are over $10, but correct me if I'm wrong. All are very affordable and get the job done. The duo and palette I would especially recommend for beginners in just a little more apmed up makeup. Side note: unfortunately the blush I used has its label worn away after too many uses 😅but it's nothing special so don't worry about it haha.

I used a lot of drug store products cause that’s all that I can afford and I’m super proud of how everything turned out and everything just blended nicely and it’s really giving that flawless finish that I want :) 5/5 for everything NYX - Jumbo Eye Pencil essence - Superlast Eyebrow Pomade Pencil essence - All About Matt!

Good makeup brushes and tools are something you can never have too many of. You also don’t need to spend a lot. I got many of these brushes and tools on sale, from the drugstore or other affordable retailers, free gifts with purchase (GWP), or in subscription boxes over the course of time. Face: e.l.f. - e.l.f. Complexion Brush love this for diffusing bronzer or all over powder F·A·R·A·H brushes - Gold Face Brush Trio the F60 powder brush is great for loose or pressed powder. No issues with it. The other 2 brushes in this trio shed badly, unfortunately. Ulta blush brushes - both of these were free GWPs. Ulta often includes them so I suggest shopping on a day Ulta offers GWPs or large sets because the brushes aren’t available on their own. BOXYCHARM - FIVE BRUSH SET WITH BC LOGO POUCH The foundation brush is thick and dense, perfect for blending foundation. Some of the other brushes shed but not this one. AOA studio - The F6 & E106 Sculpting Brush Duo The F6 amazing for cream blush! Great size. The smaller brush is also good and they come as a bundle for dirt cheap on shopmissa.com LUXIE - 532 Round Top Kabuki Brush Rose Gold I use this for gently stippling cream bronzer, then buff once the product is placed where I want it. Random eyeshadow blending brush - love this for blending highlighter! Came in a sub box years ago. Random tapered highlighter brush - excellent for targeted application of highlighter. Also came in a sub box. AOA studio - AOA Wonder Blender crazy cheap, super soft, blends cream/liquid foundation and cream cheek products like a dream. BEAKEY - BB5 Sponge Set available in a multipack, slightly more dense than AOA but still blend products really well. Eyes: e.l.f. - Flawless Concealer Brush a bit dense, blends concealer so well, had it for years. REAL TECHNIQUES - Your Finish/Perfected, Setting Brush I use this to set my under eye powder, staple for many years. SIGMA - E25 Blending Brush a classic blending brush beloved by many, my only Sigma brush but I’d love to try more. LUXIE - 205 Tapered Blending Brush Rose Gold I have multiples of these, super soft and not too densely packed. I also have other blending brushes from Luxie in the photos. REAL TECHNIQUES - Instapop Eye Duo excellent for packing color on hooded lids (like mine), the smaller brush is a bit too small but larger one is *chefs kiss* aLamar COSMETICS - The Ojitos Brush Trio Vol. 1 awesome quality and how cute are the lime green handles?! Tools: Tweezers #Tweezty - Mini Tweezer[products]#[FourStars] Eyebrow scissors - I trim my brow hairs every couple weeks #Airpeace - 6PCS Set[products]#[FiveStars] #CheriePartner

#sponsored @cherie I love makeup brushes, I love them for not only makeup but for applying skin care products too. So I can appreciate a good brush just as much as the next person. So one day I see somebody on Instagram flaunting these exquisite brushes covered in sparkling rhinestones and I had to have them. Then I checked the price.....OMG they are not cheap. Then I wonder will I actually like the brush or maybe I won't even use them for fear of ruining such a pretty brush. In either case, the solution is to do it yourself. Whether you buy some inexpensive brushes and bling them out for show or you want to bling out your favorite brush. You can do it for under $15. I figured that I have no problem doing a diamond paint by number painting so I thought this can't be much different than that! So I started with a brush that I don't use just in case things went awry. To my surprise it looked amazing. So from there I did all my favorite makeup brushes. I have a whole collection of blinged brushes. It makes me feel happy when I sit down at my vanity and see my brush holder full of bling! Check out my short how to video. Supplies: Gorilla Clear Grip Glue $5 Rhinestones - I got them from Amazon 3,400 for $7.50 Diamond Painting Pen - I already had one but Amazon sells them for $6 (it's probably cheaper to buy a cheap diamond painting from Wish and use the tool it comes with.) If you don't want to buy a pen then just use a regular pen that has a click to open and close it. Use it in the closed position and now you have a diamond painting pen for free. Wax - you do need a little wax to help the rhinestones stick to the pen. You don't need a lot. If you don't have wax laying around then just dip the tip of the pen in a melted candle and viola you're all set to go. You don't need to dip in wax each time you grab a rhinestone, just when they don't stick to the pen anymore. Brushes - Use what you have or buy some inexpensive ones. If you are afraid of ruining a brush then start off with one of those free pens you get from the bank. I hope you try out this easy and inexpensive way to bling things. The biggest expense is your time, it is time consuming but it's truly worth it. My blinged brushes bring a smile to my face every day. Here are some of my favorite brushes... @byartis Oval 7 is $65 which I got on sale for 30% off. It is by far the best brush I've ever used for foundation. Flawless and streakless application. It has a beautiful mirror finish and I won't be blinging it but it is my favorite brush ever & needed to mention it. @beakeyblender set of 10 brushes for $10. Great inexpensive brushes @modabrush set of 2 powder & soft glow set $30. Love these brushes I use with loose powder and mineral makeup @boxycharm brushes set of 2 foundation brushes $35. These brushes work great for both liquid and powder foundations. What is your favorite brand of brush? Let me know if you try this! #BeautyWithoutBarriers @cherie #CheriePartner #CherieCreator #makeupbrushes #blingbling #blingbrushes #blingedthings #modabrush #boxycharm #beakeyblender #diy artís - Elite Oval 7 Brush BOXYCHARM - FIVE BRUSH SET WITH BC LOGO POUCH

Sharing my newest beauty haul including hair, nails, & makeup. Also, target is doing spend $30 on beauty get a $10 gift card. Just a small fyi, now let's talk about this haul! REPURCHASED PRODUCTS: scünci - Scrunchies Black I barely need to explain this but I love scrunchies! I rarely use traditional hair ties anymore, these don't tug on my hair and are super cute. I keep them in my purse, my car, my desk, basically any and everywhere! ARDELL - Pro Brow Trim & Shape My go-to brow/facial razor! This pack is limited time (apparently) normally it only comes with 3 but this time I found 6! KISS - Maximum Speed Nail Glue I like to have nail glue handy just in case a break happens, I'm prepared! COVERGIRL - Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation Used in all my tutorials but this is my go-to dewy/radiant finish foundation. It's definitely "milk" meaning it's super light coverage but it's been amazing for summer so I can powder it & wear it on the go with no problem. MILANI - Make It Last Prime + Correct + Set Setting Spray Check out my dedicated post on why I love this setting spray... fun fact: I always have at least two in my makeup collection! I can't go without it. Now onto the fun stuff..... NEW BUYS: MILANI - MILANI Baked Blush The Nars Blush has been my go-to for years but it's not nice to my wallet. I used to love these baked blush for their soft shimmer effect & their range is gorgeous. I picked up the shades Dolce Pink & Sunset Passione. I hope they are what I remember! NYX - Micro Brow Pencil I have used shade Espresso in this pencil before which I did not like, it almost had a red undertone? I don't know but my brows and I didn't like it. Now I've dyed my hair black with red tint so I'm trying out their Black shade with the hopes of finding a cheap brow pencil option. NYX - Epic Wear Liner Stick I'm leaning into using more colors in my looks, so I picked up a white liner to use as a base for liner looks & to brighten my waterline. I tend to smudge underneath my eye so my goal is to find a liner that can hold up to the "waterproof" claim. We will see! e.l.f. - Flawless Concealer Brush I have used this brush before but I used it for highlighter.... weird I know but I like a dense brush. Now I do wanna use it for it's intended purpose, look out for a sponge/brush blending review for concealer coming soon! e.l.f. - Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow This gold/copper shade really caught my eye! Looking forward to trying it; in shade Flirty Birdy EYLURE - Luxe Silk Marquise Multipack HOUSE of LASHES - Allura Lite Lashes are my favorite part of the makeup routine! I got two new, dramatic pair to test out. Stay tuned for reviews on these guys! Thanks for reading ❤️

These three items were the most suggested items to me since the beginning on my time on Cherie. Now there are TONS of Cherie influenced purchases in my near future and that is certain! First is the CeraVe - Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser . This specific one was not mentioned, but the brand has become quite popular on multiple social media outlets. I figured why not try it, and I fell in love! Next is the e.l.f. - Hydrating Camo Concealer . ELF has been storming the makeup and skin care with awesome products lately and this concealer is AMAZING!!! It really is everything that it was hyped up to be! Last is the VIRAL peel The Ordinary - AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution Also another brand storming the skincare industry ! It a top quality product at crazy cheap prices! Not to mention it actually delivers results! Also definitely lived up to its hype here on Cherie! Thank you to all the wonderful creators out there providing insight into products you have used!! You guys are all helping someone find skincare gold! ❤️ I would never had purchased the face wash and peel had I not found Cherie! Cherie Creator 😘

Eyebrows: NYX - Tame & Frame Tinted Brow Pomade Face: e.l.f. - Hydrating Camo Concealer e.l.f. - Flawless Finish Foundation e.l.f. - Baked Highlighter & Blush Eyes: Lashes are from a seller on Instagram I’m sorry but I don’t remember what seller exactly. Palette: was a gift and there’s not really a name on it and I can’t find it online. But this is the closet pallet with the shades glo - Eye Shadow Quad Outfit: Skinny jeans -(Hollister) in the size 3L (25w, 29L) Shirt- SHEIN

Good evening, everyone! Been a busy week for me, so sorry for lack of posts. I got a new mini lighting booth for my Poshmark store and wanted to test it out tonight. Pretty pleased so far 😁 Here are three primers that I’m currently playing with. My tried and true is the Benefit Porefessional Primer. I honestly don’t use it under makeup; I use it to blur my skin and then use translucent powder over it to keep me from getting oily on “no makeup” days. I love the illumination of the pearl version as I still get a healthy little glow going. I’ve yet to try the Laneige one, but have wanted to for a while now. Thankfully, Sephora has been offering samples with orders so I got a couple. The TIS one is a classic Korean primer. It’s probably the only one that has ever worked for me under makeup. My combo skin typically just breaks down any and all primers, so I never use them under makeup. Remember to hydrate and check your WiFi 😘

I had so much fun making my first look, I had to do a second! Make sure to check that one out, too. This look is much more grungy. It’s inspired by popular celeb looks with worn-in, black-rimmed eyes and dark lipstick. Products I Used & Why: Primer: touch in SOL - No Poreblem Primer Great for smoothing without feeling silicone-y. This is in my October monthly makeup basket. No other reason for choosing Foundation: ILIA - Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 “ST 3 Balos” and PÜR - 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 “porcelain”. I chose these 2 because celebs often wore lighter foundation tones (or orange, but I don’t like that look LOL). The combo of these 2 is still natural but provides medium coverage. The Pür is a bit light for me. Concealer: e.l.f. - 16HR Camo Concealer “light peach”. Celebs often wore concealer that was a little or much lighter to draw attention to their eyes. Eyes: URBAN DECAY - 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil “perversion”. I did a thin line on my upper lash line, then used a pencil brush (not sure of brand) to smoke it out kind of messily. Celebs’ liner looked like they’d been wearing it all day (or night) long. I then added a bit more liner at my lash’s roots to intensify the effect. For my spidery lashes I used URBAN DECAY - Lash Freak Volumizing & Lengthening Mascara . I smudged the shade “black” from the LORAC - PRO Matte Eye Shadow Palette with the same pencil brush under my eyes. Since I have hooded eyes, some of the smudged liner did transfer into my crease a bit. I think it adds to the worn-in vibe. Cheeks: KEVYN AUCOIN - The Contour & Highlighter Duo “contour” to lightly sculpt my nonexistent cheekbones and tarte - Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in “thrilled” (nude pink) on the upper portion of my cheeks to add a hint of color to my cheeks and lift my cheekbones up. Lips: ANASTASIA Beverly Hills - ANASTASIA Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick “heathers” for a deep ox blood red pout. Shades of red, burgundy, and brown were also very popular in the 90s to pair with this kind of look! I finished off this look with my hair in a bun to accentuate my makeup. What’s your fave 90s makeup style?! #CheriePartner

I currently have 10 foundations and skin tints in my collection. I like all of them except 1 (keep reading), and a couple are nearing empty. I love trying new foundations and would like to purchase 1 or 2, but not until I finish some! **Ranked from least favorite to most favorite** 10. HOURGLASS - Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Stick I have “alabaster” (a bit too light). I had a sample size I completely used up and bought a full size in 2018. It just...wasn’t the same. It is more on the full coverage side and is very creamy. It looks both dry and oily on me 🤯 Another Cherie user gave me a tip for application so I’ll try this again soon. $46 9-8. Kosas - Tinted Face Oil Foundation I have the shades 3.5 (gifted by the brand) and 2.0. 3.5 is way too dark for me (will de-clutter). I purchased a lighter shade, and it’s much better. It is a dry oil formula and super lightweight. Provides very little coverage. Unfortunately, it clings to my dry patches a little too much. $42 7. CLOVE+HALLOW - Liquid Skin Tint I have “03”. The shade range is limited and this isn’t a perfect match for me. It’s a bit too yellow. It has medium coverage and a satin matte finish. I need to prep my skin super well before using or else it can look dry around my nose. It’s about 1/2 gone and I wouldn’t repurchase. Sent as PR by the brand & I am an affiliate. $26 6. PÜR - 4-In-1 Love Your Selfie Longwear Foundation & Concealer I have a sample in “LN2”. The shade is a bit too light and pink for me. Medium-full coverage with a natural finish. I only ranked this lower due to the shade. This comes in approx. 100 shades! $36 5. YENSA - Skin on Skin BC Foundation I have a sample in “light neutral”. Pretty good shade for me. Medium-full coverage, natural finish, SPF 40. It can sometimes look a bit dry on me, but i like it. $38 4. ILIA - Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 I have “Balos”. I love this for summer and when my skin is really dry. Super dewy finish, light coverage, SPF 40, wears well. Had good ingredients that actually help my skin look better when it’s really dry. I need to powder it if I use powder products on top. $46 3. COLOURPOP - Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Tinted Moisturizer I have light 5N. Light buildable coverage, dewy finish, feels moisturizing, and wears well. The shade isn’t perfect for me but pretty good. $14 2. CATRICE COSMETICS - HD Liquid Coverage Foundation I have light beige. Not a perfect shade match (a little more pink) but pretty good. Natural finish, medium-full coverage, very long-wearing. Shade range lacks. $11 1. URBAN DECAY - Stay Naked Weightless Foundation I have 30NN. Very similar formula + coverage to the Catrice + super lightweight. Better shade range. Wears so well! Will always have this in my collection. $39 #CheriePartner

I’m getting married in two weeks - ahhhhh!!! My fiancé and I are having a very small ceremony and dinner with close friends/family on 9/6. Next summer we’ll have a big celebration when things are safer (hopefully). I’m going to be doing my own hair and makeup. I’ve practiced a couple times, but this look is the highest contender (judge being my very picky and natural beauty-loving fiancé). I wanted a look that provided soft definition and glowy skin. I’ve reviewed a few of these on Cherie before, and recommend all of these items. Face: touch in SOL - No Poreblem Primer raved about this before, great for all skin types, somewhat covers pores, extends wear of makeup URBAN DECAY - Stay Naked Weightless Foundation lightweight, medium-buildable coverage, natural matte finish (my shade is 30NN) e.l.f. - Hydrating Camo Concealer excellent coverage, not drying, stays put (my shade is “light peach” HOURGLASS - Ambient Lighting Edit Volume 4 this was limited edition from 2018, but you can get a very similar bronzer from their permanent line, and the finishing powders are sold as singles too. Provides a bit of luminosity and gives the skin an ethereal finish. Hourglass products are expensive, but worth it. tarte - Hamptons Weekender Contour Palette I used the bronzer and blush from this. Great palette for fair-medium skin tones. Bronzer leans more neutral. Charlotte Tilbury - Beauty Highlighter Wand i used the shade “spotlight” (silvery/pinky). It looks melted into my face! It’s absolutely stunning but a bit pricey ($38), so I’d give it 4.5/5 stars. Eyes: persona - Identity Eyeshadow Palette high-quality, buttery shimmers, creamy mattes. MILANI - MILANI Eyeshadow Primer I use this all the time. It’s great for the price! I did apply some random false lashes from Shop Miss A but I can’t find which ones. Mascara would work just fine. Lips: I forgot to feature my lip products in the flat lay, so I tagged them in my “selfies”! I used Charlotte Tilbury - Matte Revolution Lipstick in “Pillowtalk” with lilah b. - Luxe Lip Oil Mini Duo shade “b elegant” on top. Pillowtalk is a my lips but better shade (pink-ish) and “b elegant” lip oil is a nude gloss. Love the color combo!! There are NO filters on these photos, by the way! Photos of myself taken in natural lighting. #CheriePartner
