This primer is amazing if you want to add a subtle glow to your foundation! I usually add one pump to my regular foundation & blend in with a sponge. I don't notice any pores being blurred away or my foundation lasting longer but it definitely adds a sun-lit glow to your face!
Note: I wouldn't use too much because it could make your foundation look oily after a couple hours. Just one pea size amount is perfect!

This palette is really pretty! It is definitely on the warm-toned with a range of amber-hued neutrals. It has a nice mix of matte (8 colors) and shimmery (4 colors) shades. The darker colors are definitely easier to work with - the white is too stark against my warm skin-tone. The brush that comes with the palette is a bit stiff; I usually don't use it. -
Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF50
This product is a bit controversial as some people LOVE it & some people HATE it. I'm actually somewhere in the middle. I love that it's color correcting and most importantly, has SPF 50+. It is full coverage but does tend to crease around my eyes... +
This product is a bit controversial as some people LOVE it & some people HATE it. I'm actually somewhere in the middle. I love that it's color correcting and most importantly, has SPF 50+.
It is full coverage but does tend to crease around my eyes & smile lines, despite what setting powder I use. There isn't much of a selection of shade ranges for WOC like myself.

I absolutely love this tinted moisturizer! It is definitely light coverage (you can still see your sun-spots/acne spots) but makes your skin look like it's glowing! It doesn't crease or move around through the day (I usually have it on for 8+ hours). I would use setting powder under the eyes/T-Zone as it does get shiny after a couple of hours.
A great product for someone who is just looking for light coverage during the summer months!

Tarte Shape Tape Concealer
Everyone LOVED this concealer! It's EXTREMELY heavy-duty, thick, and pigmented. I have a signifcant amount of undereye darkness & this concealer completely covers it up. Con: As the concealer is thick and pigmented, I always find it to crease... +
Everyone LOVED this concealer! It's EXTREMELY heavy-duty, thick, and pigmented. I have a signifcant amount of undereye darkness & this concealer completely covers it up.
Con: As the concealer is thick and pigmented, I always find it to crease under my eyes after a couple of hours; despite the amount of setting power I put on to make it stick.
Con: there isn't a lot of shade ranges for WOC like myself. Most colors range from light-medium only.
Con: it's not sold in Canada!

The Modern Renaissance palette by Anastasia Beverly Hills is my absolute favorite eyeshadow palette out there. Each individual eyeshadow is heavily pigmented & extremely buildable and easy to blend out. The blending brush that comes with the palette is also one of my favorite brushes - I use it on a daily. My favorite colors: Burnt Orange, Realgar, and
Primavera
Con: there is some significant amount of fall-out when tapping off your brush
Overall: this is the first I always recommend others to try out!
