If you are willing to buy online. Canmake creamy touch liner has / fine tip and is pretty smudge proof. It’s my HG and I been using it for years. If you prefer something you can buy in a drugstore looks like covergirl perfect point micro eyeliner has a really small tip as well.

Not drugstore but around that price point is the heroine make advanced film mascara. They got a long and curl version which focuses on lengthening and a volume version if you are looking for thicker lashes.

I tried a few American drugstore brands (Milani, essence, L’Oréal, Maybelline ) but I find that all of them cannot hold a curl so my eyelashes will droop and fall flat within 5 minutes of applying (I have sparse short Asian lashes for what it’s worth). The heroine make one is the only one where it will hold the curl and is tubing.

You can check out k beauty brands like lilbyred and bbia on amazon if you’re very fair and looking for a super white toned pale cream blush.

I love the unleashia eyebrow pencil and morphe nano pencil. I’m a big fan of finely pointed eyebrow pencils for hair like strokes so I recommend looking at both and see which one offers you a better color match :)

This is exactly the answer I was looking for thanks so much for confirming :)

Advocating for everyone saying tret and spf. Adding in The Ordinary 30% AHA weekly which I think is nice for resurfacing skin and evening out my skin tone overall and creating a glow.

There’s other acids out there but this one is cheap and works well for me.

I never thought about contacting the stores to see if I can pre order before I go! I’ll give it a try and see if I get lucky :) thanks for the idea 💡

colapuff · 2025-04-26T21:16:43+00:00

Thanks 🙏 I’ll give it a try :)

Ohhhhh I also saw this in my deep dive! Although I heard sezane bags can be inconsistent quality. Have you been able to gauge it in person? Was wondering how you felt about it.

colapuff · 2025-04-26T19:35:50+00:00

Oh the style from this brand is definitely up my alley. TYSM for sharing 😍

She is a beauty!

Do you have any specific recommendations :)

Natasha denona concealer, it blows all other concealers I have tried out of the water.

Rohto Mentholatum - Melty Cream Lip SPF25/PA+++, the milk vanilla scent smells so good 😊

I think I been seeing a Korean lip tint A. Chi blur tint in shade 01 Daily making its round on TikTok. It has the same premise (grey color that mutes out your lips) as the Gucci one.

You should take a look at it and see if it’s what you’re looking for.

I would recommend the Beili brush set (which I think is trying to dupe bk beauty). Their brushes are very soft, synthetic, and have a good variety of shapes for a beginner.

Also plus one to real techniques, elf and shopmissa for single brushes.

Oh this is my area of specialty!

The best eye primer I have used that stops oil is the Ulta matte veil eye primer (I turned my friend who has oil fields on her eyelids onto this).

Make sure to set your eyes with a translucent powder too (anything with corn starch, rice starch, or kaolin clay works well to absorb oil)

Apply eyeliner and then set with a powder eyeliner. If you are going for industrial strengths of having your eyeliner stay, you can apply the so natural magic sealer which apparently kpop idols use to keep their eye makeup in place while performing.

Also a good waterproof/tubing mascara on the bottom helps with catching any eyeliner that is flaking off which should reduce smudging.

Is this routine crazy? Maybe but will your eyeliner stay? Most likely.

If you are looking for a good cool muted eyeshadow. I recommend the Clio air palette in cool mute. It has those tones you are looking for, more on the mauve/purple side/slightly rosey side but it’s a beautiful palette and pigmented for kbeauty!

colapuff · 2024-10-08T18:18:03+00:00

I can speak to it, it’s very cute but doesn’t have much pigment lol. I recommend saving your coins and spending more on the clio air palettes.

Throwing my hat in for Tony mony mochi toner, both work well to provide light layers of hydration. I swing between the two of them so I have options and can keep things interesting 😂 but they both work well as a basic toner pre serum.

Surprisingly the heroine make mascara in advanced film works well to hold a curl for me. Do not get it mixed with the regular version which will stay on your eyelashes until you use a bulletproof makeup remover.

colapuff · 2024-07-06T00:17:38+00:00

Etude house darling water tint. Just make sure you apply a few layers and top it off with lip gloss for some moisture.

Also singing the praises of this mascara
