I start with Ole Henriksen Detox Drops containing 2% salicylic acid which is fantastic for gently exfoliating and clearing acne-prone skin. This toner helps create a smooth canvas for makeup application.
After that, I use The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, a high-strength blemish formula that controls oil and reduces redness, which enhances the overall look without clogging pores. For concealing imperfections, L'Oréal More Than Concealer Infaillible 24H offers impressive coverage that lasts throughout the day.
For blush, PIXI On-the-Glow blush is a go-to for adding a natural flush, but my absolute favorite is NARS blush, known for its pigmentation and blendability that brightens up my face instantly.
Lastly, I finish with a nourishing lip balm like Summer Fridays Lip Butter in Iced Coffee to keep lips hydrated and add subtle color. Integrating these products not only enhances my appearance but also supports skin health, balancing makeup wear and skincare effectively. This combination has helped me maintain healthy skin while enjoying the art of makeup every day.
