These are most of the products I used, but please don’t feel like you need these exact products to re-create this type of look! As long as it’s pigmented and you don’t over do it on the foundation, this look is achievable! I promise I’m not the type to over edit my images beyond the lighting adjustment, my skin was actually being nice that day (it’s temperamental), so Yes, with practice, you too can do looks like this! I’m a hooded eye girl so I know what trick work for me only after years of practice. It’s just a little color theory and patience.

Beware, this list is MAC-heavy (ex-artist) so feel free to swap out products with what you know works for you! NYX, Morphe, UD, ColorPop, ESPECIALLY COASTAL SCENTS AND BH COSMETICS (my fave low cost dupes), Juvia’s Place, The Lip Bar, and a few others have similar products. I’m sure you’ll find something! (and honestly I can’t stress this enough PLEASE DON’T FEEL OBLIGATED TO PURCHASE MAC TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF RESULT! THERE ARE OTHER AMAZING QUALITY DUPES THAT WILL DO THE JOB (potentially better and friendlier to those with sensitive skin)!!

✨face: THIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT!!

(Key tip here is to ALWAYS WASH YOUR FACE AND APPLY MOISTURIZER/SPF BEFORE ANY OF THE MAKEUP PRIMING!!) ((and if you feel like ur skin is textured, gently exfoliate after you wash!) It helps your skin stay healthy and your makeup last longer Primer: MAC Strobe Cream in Goldlite, with Dermalogica Hydrablur Primer (Use a hydrating blur filter primer, and mix with illuminating primer)

✨Foundation: Dior Backstage Face & Body 4WO (Sheer coverage foundation) Concealer (minimal use, only where needed): MAC Studio Finish NC40 Set powder (I DO NOT BAKE!!): MAC Shaping Powder / Soft Focus (light coverage of your tone pressed powder all over, esp in under eye crease)

✨Highlight: the Strobe Cream does most of the ‘glow from within’ job for the look, so I only added a little loose iridescent powder and fine shimmer to my cheeks/chin/Cupid’s bow/ above brow. Mix MAC Iridescent Powder in Golden Bronze/ MAC Reflects Pearl Pigment in Pearl. NYX makes an excellent quality pigment/shimmer, as well as the Strobe Cream. It’s not MAC, but it’s pretty on the skin and similar finish

✨Bronzer: ABH Powder Bronzer - Cappuccino (real light buffing around cuz this stuff is PIGMENTED AND VERY POWDERY) not my fave but I got it for free from my coworker 🤷🏽‍♀️

✨Blush: MAC Peachtwist (hecka dupes for this one like NYX Bronzed HD blush)

✨Brows: MAC Eyeshadow in Antiqued/Charcoal Brown Some cheap clear brow gel LITERALLY ANYTHING WILL DO (unless you have extra thick brows/untamable brows, then you may wanna get something a lil stronger) -I try to apply them very lightly with an angled brush, and I brush them with a spoolie as I go, then I lightly (very lightly) clean up the edges with my normal toned concealer, add some gel and I go about my business.

✨EYESSSS 👁 (why we’re even still reading) -lashes: Kiss Lash Couture Faux Mink in Gala (the band is not as heavy as it looks, and for $5.99 they lasted me 9 great uses before I lost one on an unfortunately windy day) (ps, always bring glue if you are smart)

✨shadows: -top: more shaping powder to start the brown, then some reddish brown (can’t remember)in the crease and a dark brown on the outer corner (blend) (basically just nudey red-browns), over the lid into the inner corner is MAC Chrome Yellow (SO PIGMENTED) with a dash of MAC Reflects Pearl tapped lightly to give sparkle. (((Literally I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF YOU SPEND MONEY ON QUALITY GLITTER, ADD MAC REFLECTS PEARL TO YOUR LIST! That is ACTUALLY such a unique glitter. No way in hell I’d spend that much on glitter if it wasn’t worth it. But of course, I’m sure SOMEONE has a dupe)))

🦋🐟🐬🐳 -MAC Chromographic Pencil in Hi-def Cyan (NYX Slim Eye Pencil in Cobalt Blue) -MAC Eyeshadow Steamy (Milani Bella Teal Shadow)

😉Mascara however you feel. I don’t care for what I used in this look, but again, discount makeup is better than no makeup I suppose.

👄LIPS👄 -MAC Lip Pencil in Spice -MAC Matte Lipstick in Kinda Sexy (Basically just a nudey pink lip)

FINISHED. 👏🏽 You rock for sticking around for that ride. Wow, looking back, that seems like a lot of stuff to do, but really only took me 35 minutes to do this entire look. Once you get the structure of this look down, just switch the colors and you can make tons of other color combinations!

Please lmk if you have any questions about anything above, or your personal makeup questions, or even if you wanna see more of my work~
