Milk MAKEUP

Finding the perfect mascara can be hard. Some give you good length but clump. Some give you good volume but no length. And some just straight up don’t work. My lashes are long but tend to stick out straight and lack in volume. They also get stuck together very easily. I’ve tried many different mascaras, ranging from drugstore to a little bit more higher end. After many trial and error situations, I think i’ve finally found the perfect one: the Milk Kush Mascara! Product info: price point: $24 for a full size and $12 for travel vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free key ingredient: hemp-derived cannabis seed oil heart-shaped fibers to lock onto lashes to create volume pure pigments for intense black finish My mascara method: first, i ALWAYS curl my lashes. I warm up the curler first with either the warm setting on my blow dryer or i stick it in my bra while i am doing the rest of my routine (people with boobs this is a real time saver). I curl them in 3 parts: more towards the outside, then middle, then inside. I hold each for about 5-10 seconds (depends on if I lose count or not 🙈) second, I apply the mascara, wiggling as I go through each lash. Then I take a clean mascara wand and go over the lashes to break up any clumps. For this mascara specifically, I happened to have a travel size of it, so I cleaned the travel size wand off before I used it to separate my lashes. It’s very helpful to use the same wand but if there is a wand that you prefer over the provided wand, then go for that! third, I repeat step two one more time before the first coat dries and then do the bottom lashes with whatever is left on the mascara wand. My bottom lashes I only do one coat and do not use the clean mascara wand for this. My overall thoughts: Milk MAKEUP - KUSH High Volume Mascara Honestly, look at my picture! (This is also my first post with me in it so hiya! 👋🏻) The difference between my eyes is incredible. I have volume, length, and my lashes just look plain amazing. The only thing I would be wary of with this is that the fibers are super thick so you do have to wipe some of the product off the wand to prevent major clumping. It kind of scared me when I first opened the product, but it’s all about manipulating the product sometimes. I love the wand. It’s thick and holds the product well and separates the lashes really well. The packaging is heavy and durable, which I adore a well-packaged cosmetic. Milk nailed this mascara and they also have a waterproof version as well. I recommend this for anyone in the market for a new mascara! I hope this review helps! As always, patch test your products before use and remember that if a product works for other people, it’s okay if it doesn’t work for you! Not all products are for everyone which is completely normal! ~Kristina 💛

I’m technically working from home again. I spent the last couple of weeks working in film production, so I didn’t even have a chance to do anything for myself since ~16 hrs of my day were focused on getting to/from work & being present there. Now that I’m home more, it’s important for me to still treat myself like I’m going somewhere... because I am towards my destiny, finding a way to turn my passion into a career 😅 and it’s nice to look “nice, presentable” or whatever for yourself, even at home... if we’ve learned anything during quarantine, amirite? So here’s what I look like waking up to what a few mins of tending to myself with products looks like ✨ It’s not a huge change, but it definitely perks me up! Also before anyone starts, glasses are cute AF but sometimes I feel like they hide my face, especially in photos! ... even though that’s the reason I got rimless glasses 🤣 Anyways, I started by undoing my overnight braids with a little bit of the GRAYDON - Intimacy Oil on my fingers to “lubricate” the hair strands and give em a little sheen. Then I started my face off with some Glossier. - Haloscope Dew Effect Highlighter in Topaz and Glossier. - Niteshine Highlighter Concentrate in Copper (I like to use this as a bronzer, slight contour) I used the ĀETHER BEAUTY - Crystal Charged Cheek Palette as both highlighter, blush AND the main eyeshadow to brighten my lids. Speaking of eyeshadow, MISMACK - Large ART Shadow in 'Shade' and Pure Anada - Grape Pressed Eye in Espresso we’re used for definition. Then I finished my upper face with Milk MAKEUP - KUSH High Volume Mascara and Milk MAKEUP - KUSH Fiber Brow Gel . To both add a little pigment and hydrate my lips, I used my fave lip balm Kosas - Kosasport Lipfuel in Pulse.

First of, the title is by Kendrick Lamar. I post mostly makeup looks but I thought I would post my daily skincare. I don’t buy fragranced products and I do my best to buy vegan products. I have struggled to find a water-based cleanser but I finally found one! About my skin: My skin is normal-dry and has seen at least thirty 4th of Julys. It is incredibly reactive. Enough talk. Onto the products. CAUDALIE - Make-Up Removing Cleansing Oil A Holy Grail product. It has a faint scent that it took me a little while to get used to but I love this product. Balms always seemed so messy to me and I hated using them but this is relaxing. It is like getting a mini-face message if mini face messages also removed three coats of Pat McGrath Dark Star mascara. If you are looking to start double cleansing? Start here. I will just take a 15% commission. PEACH & LILY - Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser I only started using this last week but it is the perfect double cleanse companion: not too strong and not too moisturizing and goopy. It has a faint stone fruit smell that actually smells like stone fruit and not some chemical additive. There is not aloe vera, no HA, and the price is really great and it’s vegan! acwell - Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing TonerI just ordered this toner on the advice of sokoglam. I tried klairs toner and my skin started itching so badly. I got my money back and I am hoping this is a better experience. If not, off to Ulta I shall go! KINSHIP - Pimple Potion Retinal + Salicylic Acid Acne Treatment I took a picture of my chin and the kind people of Cherie did not make fun of me. They told me I had milia. There aren’t a lot of vegan salicylic acid treatments but kinship is one. It has gotten most of the smaller milia out (although now I have these weird large chin pores. Like seriously huge OMG). I am being patient while it works on the slightly bigger ones. Thank you, Cherie! Krave - Barrier Relief My skin was a hot mess and this product saved me. I think this is my last bottle but if your skin barrier has established barricades and is throwing bricks? This is a great product! Plus it’s vegan! ETUDE - Soonjung Hydro Barrier Cream My AM moisturizer. Slow to absorb but when the weather is cold it will be so moisturizing! Milk MAKEUP - Vegan Milk Moisturizer PM moisturizer! Slightly tingly but really moisturizing. Do I need to say it is vegan? dear, klairs - Fundamental Nourishing Eye Butter My eternal love. Glossier. - Invisible Shield Daily Sunscreen Terrible company; only sunscreen that doesn’t break me out. JOSIE MARAN - Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter Vanilla Apricot I have it in unscented. Great for hands. Sustainably harvested by women paid a living wage. Do you use any of these products?

#cheriecreator #ad #cheriepartner One of the best moisturizers I have ever tried! Milk MAKEUP - Vegan Milk Moisturizer Hey guys! I hope you’re having a lovely day. Ever since Milk Makeup announced that they were releasing a moisturizer, I instantly knew I had to try it out! Milk Makeup always astonishes me.. from their beautiful packaging to the way their products are formulated. Here is a little background information about myself. I have oily and acne prone skin. I use this moisturizer every morning after I wash my face and sometimes at night. Now, let’s get into more details about the moisturizer and my thoughts! ⚡️WHAT IS IT? A rich, thick, creamy moisturizer ideally recommended for those with dull, sensitive and dry skin. Even though I have oily skin, it works wonders for me as well. It keeps my skin glowing throughout the day without the greasiness feeling. ⚡️WHAT DOES IT DO? For me, this moisturizer really helps keep my skin feeling hydrated and rejuvenated. Although I have oily skin, my face tends to feel dry after I wash my face so applying this afterwards is the icing on the cake. I also believe it has cleared my skin. This moisturizer has glycerin, which helps reduce acne and doesn’t clog your pores. ⚡️HOW DOES IT WORK? This contains a variety of vegan milks such as fig, oat, argan and desert milk. Fig milk helps soften and soothe the skin, oat milk calms the skin, argan milk helps maintain the moisturize throughout the day and desert milk keeps the face feeling hydrated. All of these rich ingredients help keep your face feeling healthy and hydrated throughout the day. ⚡️IS IT WORTH IT? Yes, I honestly think it’s worth it. I would recommend this product to any person who is looking for a rich hydrating moisturizer. This product is on the pricier side but a little bit of product goes a long way. I’ve been using mine for a couple months now. ⚡️ANY ISSUES? I haven’t had any issues with this product!

My regular, usual, everyday face-done in probably 4 minutes 59 seconds 🙃 BUT WAIT 🤚 Before we even start, please for the love of all that is holy start by: -wash your face (duh) -moisturize/serum/etc -SPF (don’t mess around with sun damage) And back to those deets: 1️⃣ Dr. Jart+ - Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 2️⃣ SOAP BROWS with Pears EST.1807 - Pure & Gentle Soap With Natural Oils& it Cosmetics - Brow Power Waterproof Perfector 3️⃣ Milk MAKEUP - Lip + Cheek 4️⃣ ILIA - Limitless Lash Mascara 5️⃣ Milk MAKEUP - Milk MAKEUP Highlighter And that’s it folks! Honestly though as I get older I get lazier on the whole makeup bit and more into the whole taking care of my skin but (see the note about SPF above). (& if you’re all like “🧼 SOAP BROW 🧼?!?” Don’t worry-that’s a story for another time)

The COLOURPOP - Colourpop Blush Stix in Under Pressure and the Milk MAKEUP - Lip + Cheek in Perk are both beautiful coral shades. The price difference? Colourpop is $8, Milk is $28. Overall I would say that they’re both nice. But formulas are pretty different. The Blush Stix formula is more pigmented and on the matte side, the Lip + Cheek is very sheer and glowy. I like the @milkmakeup for an every day no makeup-makeup look. But if I want some pigment to pack a punch, I love the $8 Colourpop formula! I definitely wouldn’t pay $28 for the Milk (I got mine at TJ Maxx for $9) which I think is an acceptable price for this formula.

I’m technically working from home again. I spent the last couple of weeks working in film production, so I didn’t even have a chance to do anything for myself since ~16 hrs of my day were focused on getting to/from work & being present there. Now that I’m home more, it’s important for me to still treat myself like I’m going somewhere... because I am towards my destiny, finding a way to turn my passion into a career 😅 and it’s nice to look “nice, presentable” or whatever for yourself, even at home... if we’ve learned anything during quarantine, amirite?

Omg can I just say that doing this look made me miss going out even more! 😢 I personally thrive on the dance floor 💃🏽 But anyways, you guessed right this is my clubbing makeup. Let’s be real when we’re going clubbing, it’s important to keep in mind that most of our makeup will be sweated off by the end of the night, so I prefer to keep it as glam yet simple as possible! I achieve this by using fun colours that I normally wouldn’t, with a few products. So here you see I am wearing blue eyeliner, which takes a while to come off & a purplish pink gloss to give my lips a tinted shine that I won’t have to keep maintaining with several lipsticks and lip liners! By the way, I’m not wearing foundation bc that’ll definitely get messy throughout the night with the way I’m dancing & I just love my skin how it is, honestly! 1. I started this look off with doing my brows. I got them waxed today ✨ so I didn’t need to shape them up, just filled them in with Milk MAKEUP - KUSH Fiber Brow Gel 2. Next I used SAPPHO - New Paradigm Concealer to let the ĀETHER BEAUTY - Crystal Grid Gemstone Palette eyeshadow last a bit longer throughout the night. I used an icy blue from this palette to just brighten the eyes more, which would look nice when the light hits em. (For shadow on the eye crease and contour I used MISMACK - Large ART Shadow in 'Shade' which is not captured bc it crumbled after falling oK?!😭) 3. Then I did a cat eye on each side in blue with L'ORÉAL - Infallible Paints Eyeliner . Oops it’s not “clean beauty” but it glides so nicely and the pen doesn’t dry out mid stroke, which I really respect. I also have this in white for future face art experiments 🖼 4. Completed fanning the lashes with the superb Milk MAKEUP - KUSH High Volume Mascara we all got for our birthdays from Sephora 💝 5. Used FENTY BEAUTY - Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter to warm up the cheekbones with both the orange and pink and then LAWLESS - Lucid Skin Highlighter to highlight the usual areas. 6. I know in the last post I gave it a 4 star rating, but honestly, I finally found the use for the BITE - Yaysayer Plumping Lip Gloss in Plum Tart, as I noticed it lasts quite a while without needing to be reapplied. Such a win! It tastes like Coca Cola and isn’t too sticky, but gives enough of shine and pigment to make it look like you’re wearing something 👌🏽 #CheriePartner

Like a lot of people, my skin type is oily and acne-prone. This can make makeup difficult: in the past, I’ve used makeup that clogged my pores and made my acne worse, or makeup that reacted with the oil on my face and made my makeup look cakey. I also really like a dewy, glowy makeup look, which can be difficult when a lot of makeup for oily skin tries to suck the oil up to make skin look matte. Over time, I’ve been able to nail down a makeup look that works great for my skin type. First, make sure to use a good primer to keep makeup in place. I like FIRST AID BEAUTY - Hello FAB Pores Be Gone Matte Primer , which works great and doesn’t pill under makeup. Next, use a base product. As strange as it seems, I love the Kosas - Tinted Face Oil Foundation for my oily skin—it actually has kaolin clay in it to keep it from looking oily, so the finish I end up with is semi-matte. It’s perfect! I apply it with my fingers and it blends easily. Use a concealer if needed to cover and blemishes and/or undereyes. I love the Kosas - Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer because it has ingredients like arnica and peptides to visibly improve skin—it’s makeup and skincare rolled into one, and my oily/acne-prone skin loves it! Use a blush with beneficial ingredients for skin. I love the alleyoop - Stack the odds multi-use face palette because the cream products have jojoba and sunflower oils. Since I just apply the blush on the apples of my cheeks, it gives me a glow right where I want it, without making me look oily all over. I also use a cream highlight on my cheekbones: the one in the alleyoop palette is great, as is the BECCA - Skin Love Glow Glaze Stick . They both have skin nourishing ingredients that help keep my skin from being too dried out by acne products—because makeup doesn’t look good clinging to dry patches. Make sure to use a good powder to set foundation in your T-zone. I love the Milk MAKEUP - Blur + Set Matte Loose Setting Powder because it never looks cakey, even when I reapply—I took a star off for the packaging though, which can be inconvenient. A few more tips: I avoid cream products with coconut oil because they make me break out, and I wash my makeup brushes at least once a week because dirty brushes can spread bacteria and make acne worse. If anyone else has tips for this skin type, please let me know in the comments! #CheriePartner

The second picture is taken with natural daylight，no makeup or filter added. The first picture is my daily routine. I have to be honest that I'm born with pretty good skin. I rarely have acne problems. But my skin is very dry and sensitive. I'm also allergic to ultra violet so my skin is very easy to be damaged by the sun. Therefore, my main focuses are always hydration and anti-sensitivity. I use different sunscreen products but I think the best way is still avoiding the sun in physical ways. Ever seen a Chinese girl with an umbrella on a sunny day? That’s me🙂 Here is my routine— Morning: Milk MAKEUP - Watermelon Brightening Face Mask I use this product first after washing my face. It helps me lighten my skin and feel refreshed. I generally love both milk mask sticks I have. #Winona - Natural Skin Care Anti-Redness Lotion[products]#[FiveStars] This is a Chinese brand that focuses on sensitive skins. I really love their products and this lotion ( it is actually more of a toner) is my favorite. Kiehl's - Ultra Facial Cream I apply this both at day and night. I love how it can easily be absorbed into my skin and creates this natural glow on my face. Also I can still apply makeups on this. Night: Milk MAKEUP - Matcha Detoxifying Face Mask This mask stick is very easy to apply and so soothing. I enjoy using it after a long day. This product helps me with my redness and I talked more about it in another post. I use this twice a week. KORRES - Hydra Biome Probiotic Superdose Face Mask With Real Greek Yoghurt I also talked about this in another post. It is perfect for hydrating and correcting your skin. It does sting when you first apply it on though. I use this twice a week. Avène - Soothing Moisture Mask I use this occasionally when I feel that my skin is a little damaged or irritated. Avène’s products are really good for soothing you skin. If you have sensitive skin like me, their products can be your top choices. The Ordinary - ''Buffet'' I use this at the end of the routine and wear this to sleep. It is sticky so it’s not suitable for daytime. But I can really feel that my skin is taken good care of by this product. More tips: • Wash you face gently after staring at screens for a long time • Use some facial mist every time you feel dry on your skin • Don’t use masks too much! A lot of masks are not good when you use them everyday. • EAT MORE FRUIT! This is very important for your total health including your skin health. Snack on blueberries or an apple instead of chips! • Use more sunscreen if you are going out. • Even if you don’t have dry skin, you still always need hydration!

Matcha is a green tea made from the Chinese Camellia plant. Why am I talking about tea on Cherie? It’s because matcha is great for your skin. Matcha is usually made from a finely ground up powder, which makes it perfect as a skincare add in. While people are only now making tea a trend, teas, and especially matcha have been used for health for a very long time. In ancient China, it was even used for stomach bloating and anti-inflammation way before stomach teas or serums. Besides the antioxidants, matcha also has vitamins that can be soaked up by your skin, including B2 and E. These are great for youthful, glowing skin. They promote collagen levels, hydration, and cell growth. Also, because matcha contains chlorophyll, (yes! The stuff from science class!) it can help remove excess oils and it can help eliminate bacteria on the skin, preventing bacterial acne. It’s caffeine and tannin reduce puffy eyes are dark circles, leaving you with a well rested look. Now let’s go back to the antioxidant properties of matcha I mentioned earlier. Matcha contains EGCG, a powerful antioxidant that’s great for so many different things. It can help with redness, inflammation, and irritation, as well as reducing acne, rosacea, and other skin conditions. So basically, matcha is a science backed miracle. Matcha can be used in 3 ways to help your skin. It can be drunk, put in a store bought product, or added in the safe DIY skincare. For DIY skincare with matcha powder, I suggest mixing it with either greek yogurt (anti redness and cooling) or water (a stabilizer). Just apply it to your face for 3-5 minutes, and gently remove it with warm water and a towel. If DIY isn’t your thing I’ll list some products containing matcha below. The Milk makeup matcha line: Milk MAKEUP - Matcha Toner Milk MAKEUP - Matcha Cleanser Milk MAKEUP - Matcha Detoxifying Face Mask SheaMoisture: SheaMoisture - Matcha Green Tea & Probiotics Clay-to-Cream Cleanser Thank you for reading this post! Please cheer for it so that other people can learn about matcha! -Naomi

Over the past couple years I’ve really wanted to try out milk makeup and I thought the brands aesthetic was so pretty/ minimal. It’s perfect for a quick on the go person or someone who wants to look glam. Hydro grip primer, this is really good. It has become of my fave ones to use. It provides a great base for my foundation or even for my bb cream. It’s feel kinda like gel but not thick. Spreads easily and has a slight tackiness, also leaves my skin moisturized. The only downside is the smell, it’s kinda like a plastic/agave scent mixed together. The scent does fade which is great so it doesn’t linger around. $30 for 1.52 oz and $15 for 0.33 oz Milk MAKEUP - Hydro Grip Primer Kush mascara, this one is in my top 5 fave ones to use. The bristles coat my lashes nicely and make them appear thicker. Doesn’t have a strong scent. When I apply them to my bottom lashes they don’t smudge onto my skin. $24 for 0.34 oz/10 ml and $12 for 0.13 oz/4 ml Milk MAKEUP - KUSH High Volume Mascara Tattoo stamp in star, it’s super cute! I’ve had this well over a year and it’s still pretty pigmented. I use this on my lids, cheeks and anywhere on my face to give me that cute vibe. It lasts all day and hasn’t smudged on me. $12 and they come in lots of designs. Milk MAKEUP - Tattoo Stamp Kush lip balm in plushberry, it’s a sheer berry color. Moisturizes my lips and gives them a super cute tint. I’m definitely more into sheer colors and glosses. It has a slight minty scent to it that I love. $16 for 3g Milk MAKEUP - Kush Lip Balm Kush clear brow gel, it sets my brows nicely but it isn’t a strong hold. It’s more of medium. Doesn’t have a distinct smell which is good. $20 which is pretty expensive. Milk MAKEUP - KUSH Clear Brow Gel Holographic stick in supernova, I really like this. It pretty creamy and I like applying this with my fingers. Looks super cute as an eyeshadow as well. It’s more of a duochrome. It has a purple/blueish shift. I wish it had a bit more pigment in it. Currently on sale at Sephora for $18 for the full size 1 oz/28 g. Mini size $15 for 0.25 oz/7.1 g Milk MAKEUP - Holographic Stick Watermelon brightening serum, this was ok. Wasn’t my favorite. It feels nice on the skin, kinda moisturizing but I didn’t see any brightening effect. $36 for 1.2 oz/ 34g and $18 for 0.22 oz/ 6.25 g. Personally not worth the money. Milk MAKEUP - Watermelon Brightening Serum Cooling water stick, same as the watermelon serum and this wasn’t my favorite. Yes it moisturized a little bit but I saw no difference in my skin. Too expensive to buy and not worth the money for me. If you have the money for an overpriced “serum” go ahead and get this but just save your money for something else. Milk MAKEUP - Cooling Water Blur stick definitely not worth it. Bunched up too much. Milk MAKEUP - Blur Stick

KUSH stash bag set products RANKED: Last place: Milk MAKEUP - Cooling Water I just don’t really feel like this stick is doing anything? I even put it in the fridge for extra cooling powers 🥶 and still 🤷‍♀️ Almost last: Milk MAKEUP - Cooling Water Eye Patches These are just OKAY 😐 they are slightly cooling and I do enjoy going about my morning business with some eye patches on like a fancy heiress 👸🏻 BUT no visible results in my experience Middle of the pack: Milk MAKEUP - Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil Hydrating Face Mask Very easy to apply, glides on real smooth and nothing says “I’m serious about skincare” like a full face of GREEN 🐸 I feared it would be drying but it does deliver on hydration 💦 skin afterwards is overall plump and moist (ugh that word) Runner up (get the flower bouquet 💐): Milk MAKEUP - KUSH High Volume Mascara Volume! No clumps! LOVE ❤️ the brush and now it’s one of my regular rotation mascaras. The price for the full size is a bit steep but PRO TIP 🤫 the mini is the perfect amount of product that you will actually use it ALL before it gets all dry and gross. WINNER (tiara time 👑): Milk MAKEUP - Kush Lip Balm I can’t say enough about this stuff. It’s SO SO SO hydrating. Not at all sticky or goopy, feels like it is healing your lips and lasts longer than any other lip balm I’ve tried. Even in CANADIAN 🍁 WINTER keep my lips lovely 👄

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.

Hi friends, this is the makeup routine I do when I’m in a pinch! No foundation makes for a more natural glow “my skin but better” feel. I don’t mind my acne showing through since acne is normal ✨ My skin tone is fair, and my skin type is sensitive/combination dry with rosacea & it is acne prone. Here’s my 10 minute routine: e.l.f. - Wow Brow Gel this brow gel is my favorite! It’s $4 at Ulta and the gel isn’t too thick but keeps my brow hairs in place all day and gives them an extra “oomph.” 5/5 vegan & cruelty free! I use the shade “brunette.” Milk MAKEUP - Flex Concealer my favorite go-to for evening out my skin tone. I use the shade “fair.” I dot it all around my red spots and any inflamed spots and let it sit for a few mins before blending it out. It’s not too drying, more of a satin finish. Available at Sephora. 5/5 Rare Beauty - Soft Pinch Liquid Blush this is a mini I have of the matte blush formula in “grace.” I would much prefer to try the dewy formula—this one blends out kind of patchy if you don’t work fast. Regardless, the smallest amount gives you awesome color payoff and this mini will last me forever. Available at Sephora. 4/5 BECCA - Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid Highlighter this is my all time favorite liquid highlighter. I literally use the smallest amount on my ring and middle fingers and dab it out all over my upper cheekbones over my blush as well as on the bridge of my nose. I’ve had this mini for a long time and highly recommend it! Available at Ulta. 5/5 tarte - LIT Chrome Paint Highlighter this is such a good eyeshadow in a pinch. Shade “bronzed.” I take the smallest amount on the tip of my middle finger and apply and blend it all over my lid and crease. Super easy look! Available at Sephora. 5/5 FENTY BEAUTY - Full Frontal Volume, Lift & Curl Mascara a secret hero! I’m using the new merlot shade, I really want them to come out with a brown shade. It gives me more length and volume and doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes. Available at Sephora. 5/5 URBAN DECAY - Perversion Waterproof Fine-Point Eye Pen super easy brush-tip eyeliner pen. A bit expensive, plus it mush be shaken up before using or it applies washy. I usually just apply a super small outer wing to extend my lashes. Doesn’t irritate my eyes. Available at Ulta. 5/5 essence - Soft Contouring Lipliner my all time favorite! This lip liner is $2 at Ulta. I apply it all over my upper lips and around my bottom lips. Not drying! 5/5 FENTY BEAUTY - Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer last but not least. The classic Fenty Glow gloss bomb. Shade “Fenty glow” the perfect glossy luminizer! Not goopy, and tastes great. Doesn’t last super long but is still a hit. Available at Sephora. 5/5 See any faves? #Cherie Partner

🌊 If you have a naturally round face like me, cheekbones and jawlines are hard to come by. but thats what contour and highlight are for. The goal is to create DEPTH using LIGHT (highlighter) and SHADOW (bronzer). read to the end for a special trick. 🌊 my secret is using both cream and powder bronzer to carve out my face. Why? I have oily skin, so cream won’t last the whole day, but using powder on top makes it last. It’s like setting your contour! 🌊 How i Do it Milk MAKEUP - Matte Bronzer Step one of contour, after foundation and concealer. Follow the hollows of your cheeks, along the jaw, and at the too of the forehead to make it seem smaller. Blend it out for the more natural cheekbone. be sure to check the jaw line benefit - Hoola Matte Bronzer Step two of contour, after the cream. I make a little line with the Caramel color, then blend it out as much as possible. The other bronzer places are set with Milk Blur. Hoola is easily the best bronzer on the market if you like matte finishes — its blendable as heck! Milk MAKEUP - Blur + Set Matte Loose Setting Powder Hit the T zone and below the bronzer. Bake at 98.6 for 10 minutes. This has been my favorite powder for 2+ years — great for oily skin and has a shade range! THE BEAUTY CROP - Glow Milk Dropper Liquid Highlighter Highlight! i use a tiny drop on the top of my cheekbone. this liquid highlighter is SO blendable my specialty SEPHORA COLLECTION - Eyeliner Pencil to Go i use this on the very tip of my nose, just a dot that is only half blended out. the result is a nose that looks like it’s shiny and catching the light. its just an illusion.

Glowing skin is alllllllways in, but especially so in summer! These are some of my favorite products to use for glowing skin that will wear well throughout the day. I encourage you to see what you have at home, but overall I recommend all of these if you’ve been interested. ☀️ Glossier. - Futuredew Oil Serum Hybrid It’s an oil-serum hybrid that is multi-use. It can be used under makeup, mixed with foundation, on top of makeup, or worn on the body. I find that it allows glow to shine through whatever is on top throughout the day. Ethereal! $24 COLOURPOP - Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Tinted Moisturizer I’ve reviewed this on Cherie before. It’s so good! Light coverage that evens out my skin tone. It wears well throughout the day and gives a slightly dewy finish. Works so well with creams or powders on top. $14 e.l.f. - Hydrating Camo Concealer is a 100% fave. I’ve mentioned it in other Cherie posts. Great coverage and never looks cakey because a little goes a long way. $6 Glossier. - Lidstar Glistening Eye Glow Though I think lidstars are a bit pricey for what they are, I do love the shade “cub”. It’s a beautiful rose gold that can be sheered out (like in my photos) or built up. I prepped my eyes with MILANI - MILANI Eyeshadow Primer . $18 for 1 or 2 for $30 (lidstar), $7 (primer) Milk MAKEUP - Matte Bronzer in “baked”. It’s the easiest cream bronzer to work with. I’ve been using it for over a year. You get an astounding amount of product for the price. Wish it came in more shades, though. $28 full size $15 mini (mine is full size) TOWER 28 - BeachPlease Tinted Lip + Cheek Balm in shade “happy hour”. I have another shade of these, too. They’re very pigmented but blend like a dream. I don’t like this shade on my lips but on the face it gives a “just sat out in the sun” dewy finish. girlactik - Skin Glow Duo duo in “moonlight”. I’ve had this for a while and it’s still kickin’ just fine. Love the two shades. They can be worn alone or layered. I layered on my cheeks in my photos, as well as applied to the inner corner of my eyes. What are your top glowing skin picks? #CheriePartner
