Face Card Fridays: soft transition blush 💖
Grab a fun drink & let’s do our makeup together! This is your face card tutorial 🤏🏻 
Why does your blush never look like the girls online… it’s usually not the blush itself but their application technique! (I’ve BEEN saying this 👀) There’s a new “transition blush” launching and everyone is talking about it from Patrick Ta, I promise you do NOT need it to get that soft diffused blush look.

A lot of those blush looks you see online are built in layers… not just one dot on the cheeks! You can recreate this look with ANY cream blush and concealer you have in your makeup bag!

Today’s face card details: 
✨ @saiebeauty dew blush: rosy  
✨ @kosas revealer concealer 1.5C
To get a baby pink blush under eye, also pair with their PINK colour corrector  
✨ @kosas cloud set translucent powder & @onesize ultimate blurring setting powder- ultra pink
✨ @maccosmeticscanada skinfinish colourstruck blush- Melba

Finally tried the @byoma collagen facial radiance mask and I get the hype… (and why it’s currently sold out at @sephoracanada 🥲)

Been reaching for it on repeat since… The peel is sooo satisfying but the after is what sold me! Skin looks smooth, plump and actually radiant, can verify the 20 minute to glass skin is TRUE

To be fair I use a setting spray between my cream and powder layers and add hydration 🤭

Some recent empties:

@benefitcanada POREfessional super setting spray
-very blurring but not drying!
@onesize on till dawn setting spray

Me 🤝 good brows
yes, I’ve moved on from some makeup trends but let’s call this a happy medium between 2016 bold brows and 2020 fluffy brows, but me and my concealer carved eyebrows are forever! They just give a clean polish look every time 🤩

Milky toners have fully earned a permanent spot in my routine. they’re that step that takes your skin from “ok” to hydrated, bouncy and actually ready for makeup!! (And perform better than any primer imo!)

Ever since adding one in, my base just sits better, looks smoother and gives that juicy glow

And YES I’ve tried & loved @rhode glazing milk but I have a few too many on hand at the moment to restock it!😅

I’ve tried a range and genuinely love all of these:
@byoma hydrating milky toner
@thayers hydrating milky toner
@iliabeauty the base face milk
@blume pearl drip milky toner
@bubble cosmic sill milky toner

whether you’re keeping it affordable or splurging a little (we’re talking $22–$80 CAD) if your makeup has been looking dry or not hitting the same, this might be what you’re missing

@saiebeauty baked bronzer in the crease is just so effortless and cohesive okay, but should I bring back eyeshadow tutorials? 👀 #softglam #bronzer #eyeshadowtutorials

Cream eyeshadow sticks are the most EFFORTLESS product in your makeup bag! (And especially for beginners learning glam!)

While you can use your finger to blend them I prefer using a fluffy brush to really diffuse, then go back in to build up the pigment 🤩

@iliabeauty eye stylus cream eyeshadow stick- regal

Cream blush over powder, always 💕

Last year I was at a makeup masterclass event and learned to bounce my dewy blush with a damp beauty blender over powder blush to add a natural juicy radiance back into my cheeks, you need to try this subtle makeup trick as a finishing touch!

Shade used: @nudestix Nudies Glow “Sweet Cheeks”

Holding your hand while I say this… I’m not actually a mascara girl 👀🙃

Real ones that know me, you know my @velourbeautyofficial era so lashes will ALWAYS be my thing💕my favourite style A New Leaf plant fibre lashes (I think they’re being discontinued aaaand I just picked up 6 more haha!) and the easiest way I apply them!

If you take away anything from this tutorial it’s:
- ALWAYS trim your lashes from the outer corner, better to be shorter than not comfy.
- Apply your blue towards the top of the band for a better lifted placement
- Tight-lining (pencil eyeliner in your upper waterline) creates a seamless blend that will have everyone questioning where your false start and natural lashes end

Still on the hunt for a mascara that could change my mind though… drop your recs 👀 #howtoapplylashes #lashestutorial #makeuptutorial #falselash #mascara

I don’t say this lightly… this IS worth the hype ✨
@clarinscanada really perfected the skincare + makeup hybrid with this customizable blend of foundation and their iconic Double Serum 🤩
Hydrating, fresh, dewy but not greasy/ oily feeling, and the coverage melts in so naturally. It’s giving your skin but better, like a real life filter!

I’m wearing shade L4N if the new Double Serum Foundation

I’ve tried a lot of freckle methods and this is what I always come back to 👏🏻🤎

I really prefer an inkwell formula over a faux freckle marker or pen because you can actually control it (trust me it makes a difference) make some deeper, some softer, and they don’t all look identical and “stamped on” you know??

And the real game changer? I press a little translucent powder over top with a powderpuff so they blur into the skin. It softens the edges just enough so they look like they’ve been there under my makeup all along!

If your freckles ever look like they’re sitting on top of your makeup… try that ☀️

Like why would a man be there? Let me do my lip combo in peace 👀 #makeupartist #torontolifestyle

Patchy makeup? It’s not your foundation, it’s YOU 🙃

Winter skin prep is key to a smooth, long-lasting base.
I have dry skin and my skin desperately needs extra layers of moisture in the colder windy months

My go-to skin prep layers:
@thayers milky toner (alt: @rhode glazing milk)
@glowrecipe dew drops (alt: @elfcosmetics holy hydration)

Your thicker cream moisturizer is perfect for bedtime but not makeup, instead look for products that are dewy, jelly, milky, overall thin and fast absorbing

#winterskincare #makeuptutorial #wintermakeup

1 product, 2 places, way better makeup 🫶🏻
Cream makeup is so versatile and this is your sign to actually use it that way, cohesively!

I do NOT trust beauty influencers…
that have a new favourite product or makeup obsession in every video, girl be fr. It’s been said by other creators and I totally agree!

I use 90% of the same products in my daily makeup routine because they’re proven GOODIES! These are stand-out things I most often reach for and will be repurchased in 2026:

✨ @maybelline super lock brow glue (paired with your fav brow pencil, creates the most gorgeous all-day brow look) it holds better than $$$ brands
✨ @makeupbymario surreal skin foundation- 3C, probably the best foundation I’ve worn in a long time, mad I didn’t buy this sooner. You’ll see me wearing this as my base in EVERY look.
✨ @narsissist soft matte concealer-vanilla, A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY! Trust me it’ll take over a year to finish this, it’s a fav for carving brows, the best concealer splurge
✨ @saiebeauty dew blush- rosy, I love this shade & poppy (more coral) so much product, very radiant and blendable, a fav of mine for 3+ years!
✨ @lorealparis plump ambition lip oil gloss- worth it, an iconic L’Oréal shade and a lippie that ALWAYS goes out with me. Plumping but comfy on the lips 😍
✨ @elfcosmetics stay all night setting mist- my friends know this green bottle I’ve put them on 😉 don’t waste your $$ on setting spray, this one is SO AFFORDABLE and 16hr wear!

All of these I have spent my own $ on and very worth it.

What are your 2026 makeup repurchases? #makeupmusthave #makeuptutorial #everydaymakeup #affordablemakeup #2026makeuptrends
