CHANEL DUO DE BAUMES Review ✨ Worth the Hype? I completely understand why this sold out. I picked up the CHANEL Duo de Baumes in Korea, and it quickly became one of my favorite limited-edition CHANEL makeup products. The blush has a gorgeous, intense color payoff, but it’s surprisingly buildable and easy to blend, so you can go from a soft daytime flush to a bolder evening look without any patchiness. The gold highlighter is equally beautiful. It adds a soft, luminous glow to the cheekbones, nose, and even the lips without looking glittery. I love wearing it on its own during the day or layering it over the blush for a more radiant evening makeup look. Another feature I love is how versatile it is. You can use the blush on both your cheeks and lips, then finish with the highlighter for that effortless CHANEL glow. It’s such a clever two-in-one product, and I’m so glad I managed to find one before it went out of stock.

Easy Winged Eyeliner for Hooded Eyes ✨

If you’ve been struggling with winged eyeliner, this simple trick might help!

I lift my upper eyelid with the end of a makeup brush, line my lashes, flick the liner upward, and fill in the gaps between my lashes. It only takes a few simple steps.

I’m using the Canmake Creamy Touch Liner in 01 Black on my upper eyelids and 15 on my lower lash line. The ultra-fine tip makes it easy to control, so it’s great for beginners. Plus, it’s creamy, waterproof, and smudge-proof, making it one of my favorite makeup eyeliners for everyday wear.

Have you tried the Canmake Creamy Touch Liner? Which shade is your favorite? 💕

One of the Best Velvet Matte Lipsticks I’ve Ever Tried! 💄

This lipstick has been all over my FYP, so I finally gave it a try!

The Joocyee Velvet Rouge in 1990 Vintage Brown has one of the softest velvet matte textures I’ve tried. It glides on effortlessly, gives my lips a naturally blurred finish, and feels surprisingly comfortable.

The best part? It stayed transfer-proof during my tissue test and even held up after the water test. 👀

Would I repurchase it? Absolutely! ❤️

✨ This Dior Highlighter Looks Even Better in Person

I don’t think the camera can fully capture how beautiful the Dior Backstage Highlighter Balm in Glazed Mint really is.

The balm is infused with delicate pink, blue, and lilac shimmer that catches the light beautifully, creating a soft, luminous glow instead of an overly glittery finish.

I like tapping it onto my skin with my fingers or applying it directly from the stick for the best payoff. One tip—I don’t recommend using a brush because it doesn’t pick up enough product.

If you love a natural, healthy-looking glow, this Dior makeup product is definitely worth checking out. It’s subtle, elegant, and gives the skin that effortless lit-from-within finish.

Everyone's talking about Zendaya's makeup... and you don't need to be a makeup artist to recreate it.

Her makeup is all about sun-kissed blush, a glowy finish, and the no-mascara trend. Here's my take.

Since my skin can look dull with too much bronzer and dark blush, I use a contour stick and a plum blush instead.

First, apply a glowy foundation. Then use a contour stick on the top of the forehead, the sides of the cheeks, the chin, and the nose.

Tap the blush onto the cheeks and across the nose to create a sun-kissed look.

Lightly tap loose powder over areas with visible pores, but avoid the cheeks to keep the glow.

Zendaya's lips have more of a semi-matte finish, but I prefer a glossy finish for my dry lips. After applying a matte lipstick, I top it with a lip oil. The tip of the applicator also works beautifully as a lip liner.

For my eyes, I keep everything natural—a beige shade in the crease, then blend the beige and shimmer across the lids. Apply a medium brown to the outer corners and softly smudge it toward the inner corners.

Add a dark brown close to the lash line and under the eyes for a softer, more dimensional look.

No eyeliner, but I did use a little mascara for my straight eyelashes.

To finish, I tap a little highlighter on my nose, cheeks, and chin for extra glow.

This is my version of Zendaya's makeup, and you don't need to be a makeup artist to recreate it.

✨ Glossy or Matte Lips? Why Not Both?

*Self Purchased Item

Looking for a lip gloss that does more than just add shine?

The Heart Percent Dote on Mood Custom Lip & Cheek combines a glossy lip balm and a matte lip & cheek color in one compact, so you don't have to choose between glossy or matte lips.

💕 What I love: • 2 textures in one case – glowy balm + matte fog pot • Use it on your lips, cheeks, eyes, or even your collarbones • Blend, layer, or wear each shade on its own for a customized look • Smooth, seamless application with buildable pigmentation

My experience? The packaging is so clever, making it easy to carry and touch up throughout the day. The pigmentation is just right—not too sheer and not too intense—so it's perfect for everyday makeup. I love using each side on its own or layering them together for a more dimensional look.

And the price? Honestly, it's hard to beat.

BeautyKat Verdict: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Holy Grail)
 Will I repurchase it? Definitely! 💕

✨ Don't Buy rom&nd Lippies Until You Watch This! 💋

I've been testing two of the newest rom&nd lippies, and here's my honest verdict! 👇

💧 rom&nd Juicy Flash Lip Oil – (4.5⭐/5)

If you have dry or chapped lips, this lip oil is definitely worth trying. The oil-based formula feels lightweight while keeping my lips soft and hydrated all day. 💖

✨ What I love:
• Super moisturizing
• No bleeding
• Smooth, glossy finish
• Perfect for layering over lipsticks or lip tints

The only thing I wish? I wish it had stronger pigmentation or a sparkly version so I wouldn't need to pair it with another lip product. But overall, it's a great everyday lip oil for dry lips!

🌸 rom&nd Glasting Color Gloss S01 Peach Sparkle – (4.8⭐/5)

I'm completely obsessed with this one! 🤩 The tiny sparkles are so pretty and mesmerizing, and they instantly make my lips look fuller—even without a plumping lip gloss (which I avoid because I hate the stinging sensation 😅).

✨ Why I love it:
💖 Gorgeous high-shine finish
✨ Beautiful shimmer
💋 Fuller-looking lips
🌿 Moisturizing botanical oils
🙌 Non-sticky formula

My only complaint? I wish rom&nd released more shades and made them easier to find in the US. So far, I've only spotted them in Japan and on YesStyle.

💕 BeautyKat Rating
⭐ Juicy Flash Lip Oil: 4.5/5
⭐ Glasting Color Gloss Peach Sparkle: 4.8/5

Makeup Men Won’t Notice (But You’ll Look So Much Better ✨)

Sometimes the best makeup isn’t the makeup everyone notices—it’s the kind that simply makes you look fresh, polished, and effortlessly put together.

For this natural everyday look, I used the techniques I learned in Korea together with some of my favorite K-beauty products:

🤎 Jung Saem Mool Artist Eye Palette – Orange Brown for soft, natural definition
✨ JUNG SAEM MOOL Essential Mool Micro Fitting Mist to help keep my makeup looking fresh
🖌️ Jung Saem Mool Makeup Brushes for a seamless blend
🖤 CANMAKE Creamy Touch Liner (Black) to subtly define the eyes without looking harsh
👀 Maybelline Sky High Mascara (Asia Version) for long, fluttery lashes

The goal isn’t to look like you’re wearing more makeup—it’s to look like the best version of yourself. I love this look because it’s effortless, elegant, and perfect for everyday wear, especially if you prefer natural makeup.

Would you wear this makeup look, or do you prefer something more glam?

Best Lip Oil? I Didn’t Expect rom&nd to Be This Good! 💖

If you have dry lips like I do, these rom&nd lip oils have quickly become some of my favorites.

✨ rom&nd Juicy Flash Lip Oil
💜 06 Grape Fig
🌸 F03 Soy Peony

The formula feels lightweight but deeply nourishing, giving my lips a beautiful glass-like shine without feeling sticky. It smooths the look of lip lines while the Juicy Hyaluronic Acid Complex helps keep my lips hydrated and comfortable throughout the day.

I love wearing them on their own for naturally glossy lips, but they’re also perfect layered over lipstick or lip tint to prevent dryness and cracking.

And can we talk about the last shade in this video? 😍

✨ rom&nd Glasting Color Gloss S01 Peach Sparkle

It’s the prettiest peachy-pink gloss with delicate sparkles that makes my lips look fuller, plumper, and incredibly glowy. I am absolutely obsessed!

If you’re looking for the best lip oil for dry lips or a glossy lip product that gives you hydrated, juicy-looking lips, these are definitely worth checking out.

✨ Looking for a luxury cushion foundation alternative?

Self Purchased Items

I compared three of my favorite cushion foundations to see which one gives the most beautiful healthy glow. They’re all made in Korea and designed for combination to dry skin, with finishes ranging from velvety to glowy.

YSL TOUCHE ÉCLAT GLOW-PACT CUSHION in B20 (available in Asia)
⭐ BeautyKat Rating: 4.5/5 (Highly Recommend)
✨ Medium to full coverage
🌞 SPF50
💧 Buildable formula
✨ Glowy finish that smooths the look of fine lines

JUNG SAEM MOOL Essential Skin Nuder Cushion in 21 Medium
⭐ BeautyKat Rating: 4.7/5 🏆 Winner (Highly Recommend)
🌞 SPF50
🤍 Medium to full coverage
🌿 Soft, velvety natural finish
💛 Great for all skin types

CLIO Kill Cover Mesh Glow Cushion in 24W Sand
⭐ BeautyKat Rating: 4.3/5 (Worth Trying)
🫧 Mesh cushion
✨ Light to medium coverage
💦 Glowy finish
💙 Great for dehydrated skin

✨ My Verdict

🥇 JUNG SAEM MOOL – My top pick! It offers the best balance of natural finish, buildable medium-to-full coverage, SPF50 protection, great shade match, and excellent value for money.

🥈 YSL – Delivers the most luxurious healthy glow and beautifully smooths the look of fine lines. I rated it 4.5/5 because it’s more expensive, only available in Asia, and comes in a limited shade range.

If you’re in the U.S. or looking for more shade options, the new YSL Skin Affair Soft Glow Cushion Foundation may be a better alternative.

🥉 CLIO – A great budget-friendly mesh cushion with a beautiful glowy finish. It’s perfect for dehydrated skin and makeup beginners who prefer light-to-medium coverage.

If you’re looking for a luxury foundation alternative or wondering what foundation to use, I hope this honest comparison helps!

My Favorite Summer Makeup Products for a Natural Glow ☀️✨

PR and Self Purchased Items

Looking for an effortless summer glow? These are the summer makeup products I've been reaching for lately to create a fresh, radiant look that's perfect for warm weather.

✨ Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat Glow-Pact Cushion SPF50+/PA++++ (B20 Ivory) – Medium to high coverage with SPF50 protection. It gives my skin a beautiful glow without emphasizing my fine lines or large pores, making it a great option for mature skin.

🌸 Basma The Cream Blush (Mauve) – A natural, lit-from-within cream blush that's perfect for an everyday makeup look.

✨ Excel Loose Powder (Japan) – One of my favorite Japanese drugstore makeup products. The powder is incredibly fine, and I only wish it were easier to find in the U.S.

🍑 Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush (106 Pomelo) – Adds a beautiful glowy finish and is perfect for layering. The only downside is that the pigmentation is a little too subtle for my preference.

🌟 Dior Backstage Glow Maximizer Palette (001 Universal Glow) – The gel-to-powder texture brightens my complexion and gives my skin a healthy, radiant glow. I absolutely love it!

🤎 CLIO Pro Eye Palette Air II (Shopping Cheese) – Soft, natural pigmentation that's typical of K-beauty. It's easy to layer, the shimmer shades are beautiful, and the packaging is absolutely adorable.

🖤 Canmake Creamy Touch Liner (01 Black) – Long-lasting, waterproof, smudge-proof, and incredibly easy to apply. My only complaint? Once you twist it up, it can't be twisted back down, and I go through one in about a month because I use it every day!

👁️ Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara (Asian Version) – My go-to mascara for long, lifted lashes that stay curled all day.

These are some of my favorite summer makeup tricks for achieving a fresh, natural glow without feeling heavy.

✨ Trying a High-End Cushion Foundation… Is It Worth It? ✨

Self Purchased

I’ve been trying the YSL Touche Éclat Glow-Pact Cushion, YSL’s first mesh cushion foundation from the iconic cushion family focused on creating that natural, healthy glow.

This cushion delivers high coverage with all-day comfort, while making the skin look instantly lit-up, even-toned, and radiant. It also offers 24-hour hydration and comes in six glowing shades uniquely chosen to suit Asian skin tones.

I have to admit… I used way too much in this video! 😅 I had to use a clean puff to tap off the excess, but once I did, my skin looked radiant without exaggerating my pores.

Would I recommend it? Yes—especially if you have combination to dry skin and love a glowy, healthy-looking finish. It’s not a long-lasting, oil-control foundation, but I enjoy using it because it keeps my skin looking dewy without emphasizing my fine lines or pores.

Compared to other Western high-end cushion foundations, I also think it’s reasonably priced. I bought mine in Japan, and the product is made in Korea, which makes me wonder… could there be one of the best cushion foundations from K-Beauty that’s a perfect dupe? Stay tuned! 💕

Have you tried this one, or do you have a favorite mesh cushion foundation?

#YSLToucheEclat #CushionFoundation #HighEndCushionFoundation #BestCushionFoundations #MeshCushionFoundation

No one is talking about these Jung Saem Mool K-Beauty palettes, but they’re so good!

I didn’t realize that until I attended a makeup class in Korea.

I’m already a big fan of their cushion foundation, but I never expected their eyeshadow and shading palettes to become my everyday makeup staples.

The powder is finely milled, the shimmer is subtle and elegant, and the pigmentation is just right. You can easily build up the color for a more glamorous look or keep it soft for a natural no-makeup makeup look—all without paying a premium price.

10/10. I highly recommend them!

Armani Luminous Silk vs Dior Forever: Which Is Better?

Today, I’m comparing Armani Luminous Silk and Dior Forever Skin Glow to see which foundation actually survived the heat.

Let’s start with Dior Forever Skin Glow.

This foundation blends beautifully into the skin and gives that effortless “my skin but better” finish.

However, during hot and humid weather, my combination skin becomes oilier throughout the day, and I noticed that the foundation oxidized more easily. It made me wonder if there was another foundation that would perform better in the summer.

That’s when I decided to revisit Armani Luminous Silk.

I loved the original formula, but this new version completely won me over.

I’m wearing shade 5, which is described as a light neutral pink shade. But instead of looking pink on my skin, it brightens my slightly dull, yellow-toned complexion and gives me a natural, skin-like finish. It’s luminous, but not overly glowy.

The coverage is also better than Dior’s. Most importantly, it stays on my skin longer and lasts better than Dior in humid weather.

Looking at both foundations side by side, you can see that they share a similar luminous finish.

Both shades lean slightly pink, but Armani appears more neutral on my skin, while Dior looks a little rosier.

Dior gives me a glowing complexion.

Armani delivers a smoother, more refined finish that feels better for summer.

So, which one would I choose for summer? Definitely Armani.

The coverage is higher, the wear time is better, and it stays comfortable without looking dry or heavy.

That said, I still love Dior. When my skin looks more tired and dry, Dior gives me a soft, radiant, and hydrated finish.

Both foundations are suitable for combination to dry skin. However, keep in mind that neither is designed for oil control or a matte finish.

Want to try YSL cushion foundation for so long and this glowy foundation doesn’t disappoint me! The heart-shaped hand and body cream is limited edition and only available in Japan and Taiwan. Need to get it 🥰💕✈️ @YSL Beauty #ysl #yslbeauty #ysljapan #cushionfoundation

✨ medicube Before & After Results? Here's My First Impression! 💙

PR Gift from YesStyle

I've been adding the medicube AGE-R Booster Pro Mini Plus and AGE-R Booster Face Roller Head to my medicube routine, and I even bring the Mini Plus with me when I travel. The results are beyond my expectations!

The Booster Pro Mini Plus helps enhance skin care absorption while improving the appearance of skin tone. I love that it offers three LED modes:
🔴 Red for brightening
🔵 Blue for calming and sebum care
🟣 Purple to boost skincare absorption and glow

It also features 5 intensity levels. It's compact, but it still delivers amazing results.

I also paired it with the AGE-R Booster Face Roller Head, which provides an intensive 5-minute massage while helping skin look firmer and plumper around the under-eye area, smile lines, and jawline.

As someone over 40, I'm always looking for beauty devices that are easy to use at home and while traveling, and my first Medicube before and after results say it all!

✨ Dior Blush Rosy Glow, the Limited Edition 106 Pomelo 🍑

I bought the Dior Blush Rosy Glow in 106 Pomelo the second I saw it. 🤍 It's part of the latest limited-edition collection, and I knew this warm peachy shade would complement my skin tone.

The blush has a soft shimmer and isn't overly pigmented, so it's easy to build up for a fresh, healthy glow without looking patchy. The ultra-fine powder blends seamlessly into the skin and gives the perfect everyday summer makeup look.

I've also been loving the blush under eyes trend lately, and this shade adds such a soft, brightening flush that looks natural without overpowering the rest of the makeup.

And can we talk about the Miss Dior Mini Fragrance Set? 🌸 The packaging alone completely won me over. Even though the scent is a little sweeter than I usually prefer, I simply couldn't say no to it.

💕 I bought them so you don’t have to… here’s the truth about CLIO Cosmetics!

⭐ 8/10 ⭐ CLIO Pro Eye Palette – Shopping Cheese (Self-Purchased)

I picked this up during a YesStyle sale and don’t regret it! The palette includes 12 wearable matte, shimmer, and glitter shades that are easy to use for everyday makeup. I expected it to be more peachy, but it’s actually pink-coral. Luckily, it still works beautifully with my warm skin tone.

💭 Recommend? Yes! It’s beginner-friendly, versatile, and more affordable than some of my other favorite palettes.

⭐ 10/10 ⭐ CLIO Crystal Glam Tint – Pearl Coral (Self-Purchased)

Love at first swipe. 💖

The perfect salmon-peach shade for my warm complexion. It’s comfortable, hydrating, and incredibly flattering.

💭 Recommend? Absolutely. I’m obsessed.

⭐ 9/10 ⭐ CLIO Sharp So Simple Pencil Liner (Dark Brown) (PR Gift)

My everyday eyeliner.

✔ Waterproof & smudge-proof
✔ Smooth application
✔ Long-lasting wear

I love it so much that I’m tempted to buy the black shade too.

⭐ 8/10 ⭐ CLIO Kill Lash Superproof Mascara (PR Gift)

Great for holding a curl and lengthening short, straight lashes. The only downside is that the fibers can occasionally flake into my eyes if I’m not careful during application.

💭 Recommend? Yes! Especially if your lashes struggle to stay curled.

✨ Pro Tip: Double cleanse to remove waterproof eye makeup. I use a cleansing oil first, then follow with a gentle facial cleanser.

Don’t want a greasy finish? Here’s a my mistake 😅 Check out what I learned when I used the Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Sunscreen!

Self-Purchased Item

My friend picked up the Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen in LN130 for me in Korea, and it has become my daily skincare essential, especially on busy mornings!

The texture of this tinted sunscreen feels like a dream—lightweight, breathable, and hydrating, with just enough coverage to even out the skin while still looking natural. It gives a true "no-makeup makeup" look with SPF 40 built in.

It's one shade lighter than my skin tone, but it looks much better once the product settles into the skin for about 5 minutes. And if you use a makeup sponge to pat it in, the finish becomes even smoother and more skin-like. I also like to use a loose powder to blur my pores, but that's totally optional.

Some people think this product is greasy, but I don't agree. It's really all about how much you use and whether you give it enough time to settle. When I watched other videos—including one I made earlier—I realized we were simply using too much product!

My tip: Use about 1 finger length for your entire face and wait around 5 minutes. You'll be rewarded with a natural, lightweight finish that looks like your skin, only better.

If you've been looking for a lightweight tinted SPF for summer... this might be the one.

Huda Beauty Dupe? $25 vs $10 👀

I found the perfect dupe for Huda Beauty Liquid Blush.

Let me try the HUDA BEAUTY Liquid Blush in Cotton Candy first. It's a lightweight baby pink shade. I applied three dots on my cheeks and used a fluffy brush to blend it out.

I love the silky, semi-glowy finish, but it isn't very long-lasting, and I need to apply more because the color isn't very intense.

For Peripera, I chose Friendship Mauve, a rosy pink shade. The texture is thicker than Huda Beauty's, so one drop is enough for both cheeks. The finish is glowier, and you can see the difference here.

Both shades look very similar on my warm skin tone. After dusting on some loose powder, the glow from the Peripera is still there, while the Huda Beauty shade has already started to fade.

On the other hand, Huda costs $25, while Peripera costs less than $10. They're both made in Korea, but Huda contains half the amount of product as Peripera and costs more than double.

So, which one would you choose?

Will this 5-minute gua sha cream actually lift my face… or is it just another skincare gimmick? 👀

PR Gift

I tested the ANUA Collagen Retinol Refining Gua Sha Cream on just one side of my face first because honestly... I wasn't expecting much.

But after about 5 minutes, I could already see a subtle difference. One side looked a little more lifted and less puffy than the other.

What makes this product interesting is that it's not just a neck cream. It combines retinol, collagen, and peptides with a built-in gua sha applicator, so you don't need any extra tools.

✨ What I like:
• Lightweight, non-greasy texture
• Cooling applicator feels so soothing
• Easy to use on the jawline, neck, and under-eye area
• Great for a quick 5-minute self-care routine
• Helps reduce morning puffiness and define facial contours

Of course, one application won't magically give you a snatched jawline overnight. For long-term firming and anti-aging benefits, consistency is key.

But if you're someone who never sticks to gua sha because it's too much work, this makes the process much easier.

And one reminder: if you're using it in the morning, don't skip your sunscreen because it contains retinol. ☀️

Have you tried a gua sha product that actually made a visible difference?

✨ My Brain: Don't Buy It. Also Me: Add To Cart 🛒😅

Let's talk about the Dior products that I absolutely did not need... but bought anyway.

I picked up the Dior Beauty eyeshadow palette and luminizer from the Dior Summer Collection, and yes, I chose the blue eyeshadow palette even though I knew it probably wouldn't be the most flattering choice for my warm skin tone.

Did that stop me? Absolutely not. 😅

The colors are stunning, and the shimmer is incredibly reflective—almost too reflective. On my eyes, some of the shades made my eyelids look a little puffier than usual. My only real complaint is that I wish the palette included a matte or silky-finish base shade to balance out all the sparkle and make the look a bit more wearable for everyday makeup.

That said, I knew exactly what I was getting when I bought it. Sometimes you don't buy makeup because it's practical—you buy it because it's beautiful.

So, do I regret buying this Dior viral makeup launch?

Not at all. 💙

Have you ever bought a makeup product that you knew you didn't need but couldn't stop thinking about?

Today I’m doing a full face of Dior makeup… well, almost a full face!
Here is the before and after — and after each step, I’ll ask one simple question: will I repurchase it, or not?
Okay… let’s dive in.
 This is the Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation.
It blends easily into the skin… and gives that “my skin but better” finish.
It’s softly glowy — not too oily, not too dry. It’s perfect for my combination to dry skin.
I use a soft, puffy sponge to tap it in, especially around the sides of my nose, so the foundation stays on the skin better.
I’ve also tried using a brush — it creates a lightweight, almost second-skin finish.
So I just add more product if I want a bit more coverage.
After a few hours, I do get a bit of oil on my skin, but I don’t really mind — it’s an easy fix.
I just blot my T-zone and apply a pressed powder.
Will I repurchase it? Yes.

This is the Dior Forever Cushion Powder.
First of all — the packaging is beautiful.
The powder gives a soft blurring effect… without drying out my skin.
No tight feeling, no cakiness — just smooth, flawless skin.
Will I recommend it? Yes — 100%.
This one exceeded my expectations.
 This is the Dior Rosy Glow Blush Stick in Berry.
At first, I didn’t really like it… but it slowly grew on me.
It gives a very natural, dewy finish — almost like the glow comes from within the skin.
You can keep it soft for everyday… or build it up for more color.
Will I recommend it? Hmm… probably not.
I like it — but I feel like I can find a good dupe.
 This is the Dior Glow Maximizer Palette in Universal Glow.
The powder is ultra-fine… so it doesn’t emphasize texture at all.
I use it on my cheeks, eyes, and even the bridge of my nose.
The shades are very wearable — truly universal.
I use the pink shade on top of my cheeks after loose powder. It brings back the glow of my blush.
Then I use the white shade on the bridge of my nose and chin.
I also love mixing the light and dark brown shades as a transition color for my eyeshadow.
Will I recommend it? I love it!
The colors are great for my warm skin tone and can be used as highlighter and eyes

Do I regret buying the Prada blush? Here's the truth.

I bought the Prada Dimensions Cream-To-Powder Blush in 86 Peach the second I saw it on my feed — I just knew I needed it. 😍

First of all, the packaging? I’m obsessed. I know some people aren't fans of the plastic compact, but honestly, I think it looks super chic.

The formula is gorgeous too. It has a cream-to-powder texture that blends beautifully and gives you enough time to work with it before it sets. But fair warning: a little goes a LONG way. 😂 I definitely got carried away, and even my husband (who knows absolutely nothing about blush) told me I put on too much.

To make things worse, I paired it with my already-too-warm Rare Beauty foundation. The camera doesn't fully capture it, but in person I looked like I spent 10 hours in the Thai sun without sunscreen. 🌞😅

That said, I still really like this blush. I just need a few more tries to figure out the perfect application. Do I regret buying it? Not at all. Would I rush to buy more shades? Probably not.

Have you tried the Prada blush yet? 👀

✨ Beginner-Friendly Makeup Tutorial: Soft & Dewy Skin Tips I Learned in Korea 🇰🇷

I recently took a makeup class at Jung Saem Mool in Korea and picked up a few simple techniques that made my base makeup look more natural and seamless.

🤍 Tap your cushion foundation on the cap first to control the amount of product. Then, tap the foundation in the middle of your face.
🤍 Glide foundation along the sides of the nose for better coverage.
🤍 Blend foundation outward along the sides of the face to create a more dimensional look.
🤍 Apply liquid or cream blush before setting your makeup.
🤍 Set the face with loose powder, but leave the blush area untouched to maintain a natural glow.
🤍 If you’re using powder blush, apply it after loose powder.
🤍 Finish with a setting spray to help melt the powder into the skin and bring back hydration.

This blush texture was not what I expected 👀

This is the AZTK Liquid Blush — a lightweight liquid formula that melts into the skin, then sets into the softest blurred powder finish.

Self Purchased Item

At first, it feels silky and watery,
but once blended out, it gives the cheeks this fresh, juicy flush that looks healthy and skin-like without feeling greasy.

What surprised me most is how easy it is to use.
The texture blends effortlessly with fingers or a brush, and the color layers beautifully without lifting the makeup underneath.

How I use these blushes?
I added Fig Coffee (light beige shade) to the highest point of my cheeks, then added Guava Cream (light peach) to the lower cheeks. Tap the colors so they blend together seamlessly. Lastly, I used Sakura Milk Jelly (pastel pink) on my forehead and the bridge of my nose as a soft highlight.

You can wear it as a blush, soft contour, or even a subtle highlight depending on the shade — perfect for quick everyday makeup.

Muted pink makeup…but make it expensive-looking 🌸✨

I didn’t expect these shades to look this soft and flattering together 😮‍💨
Patrick Ta “Just Enough” gives that dreamy blurred pink flush, while ColourPop BFF liner + Mango Sorbet balm make the lips look naturally fuller and glossy without trying too hard.

Soft. Polished. Effortless.
This might be my favorite everyday pink combo lately 💕

This Looks Like My Skin… But Better ✨

My friend picked up the Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen set for me in Korea — and honestly, I ended up loving both the tinted sunscreen and the sponge puff 🥹

The texture feels like a dream. Lightweight, breathable, hydrating… with just enough coverage to even out the skin while still looking natural. It’s “no-makeup makeup” look with SPF 40 built in.

What surprised me most?
It actually looks better after about 5 minutes once it settles into the skin. And if you use the attached sponge puff to gently pat it in, the finish becomes even smoother and more skin-like ✨

The shade is one shade lighter than my skin tone, but after contouring, it blends beautifully and gives that soft, polished glow without looking heavy.

And now it’s on sale for $9. Checkout my bio for details 😳

If you’ve been curious about lightweight tinted SPF for summer… this might be the one.

Blurs pores like a dream ✨

This is the YSL Make Me Blush 24H Buildable Blurring Powder Blush in shade 44 Nude Lavallière — the iconic dusty rose satin shade worn by Dua Lipa 💕

I love how this shade gives that elegant dark rose flush with the softest subtle pink shimmer. The powder feels incredibly fine and silky on the skin, almost like a soft-focus filter for my pores and texture.

The pigmentation is just right — buildable, blendable, and beginner-friendly without looking patchy or overly intense. Just tap your brush lightly because a little truly goes a long way.

I’ve been loving using it across my cheeks and nose for polished and effortless look! Honestly? 10/10 for me ✨

If I can only have 3 products for my daily makeup… these are the ones I would keep without hesitation 👀✨

1️⃣ CANMAKE Creamy Touch Gel Eyeliner
This eyeliner NEVER leaves my makeup bag. The 1.5mm ultra-slim tip makes it so easy to draw precise lines and fill between lashes without tugging the skin.

The texture is super creamy at first… but once it sets, it stays put beautifully. Sweat, tears, humidity — it survives all of them 😮‍💨 Perfect if your eyeliner usually smudges or disappears halfway through the day.

2️⃣ ENTROPY Makeup Glossy Lip Tint
I’m obsessed with this lately because it gives that glossy, juicy lip look WITHOUT the sticky feeling or harsh stain residue.

The gel texture feels lightweight and comfortable, and I love that I can build the color naturally depending on my makeup mood. Also… the fact that I can use it on both lips and cheeks makes daily makeup so much easier ✨

3️⃣ BASMA Beauty Cream Blush
This is the kind of cream blush that makes skin look healthy instead of “too makeup.”

The balm-like texture melts beautifully into the skin without emphasizing pores or texture, and the finish stays fresh for HOURS.

I also love that it contains nourishing ingredients like avocado oil, apricot oil, aloe vera, and vitamin E — so it feels comfortable even on dry skin days.

Honestly… if I only had 5 minutes to get ready, these 3 would still make me feel polished and put together 💄✨

Okay… this texture surprised me 👀

This is the AZTK Liquid Blush — and it starts as a liquid, then sets into this soft blurred powder finish on the skin.

The formula feels lightweight and watery at first,
but once blended, it gives the cheeks the prettiest juicy flush without looking greasy or patchy.

What I really like is how beginner-friendly it is.
The silky texture blends so easily with fingers or a brush,
and the color looks very natural — like a healthy glow coming from within the skin.

Also… can we talk about the packaging?
The control filter actually prevents too much product from coming out,
so it’s much easier to layer without ruining your foundation underneath.

You can also use it as blush, contour, or even a soft highlight,
which makes it such a versatile product for quick everyday makeup.

The finish?
Soft-focus, slightly dewy, skin-like… and very “my skin but better.” ✨
