if you’re anything like me, diving into the world of makeup can feel completely overwhelming. between tracking down the right shade of foundation (especially if you need a different one for winter and summer!), matching concealers for highlighting versus color correcting, and figuring out contour placement, it is so easy to get confused.


instead of aimlessly buying random products that end up sitting in a drawer, i let ai do the heavy lifting for me. i shared photos of my skin tone, my daily routine goals (efficiency and simplicity), and transcripts of makeup tutorials i actually liked, then let it map out a tailored product list and sequence specifically for me.


the golden rule of makeup is that you have to explore to find what works best for your unique face and beauty, but having a blueprint changes everything.


shop my makeup routine (ordered from higher to lower end):

in my makeup journey, i’ve tried numerous brands/products, here are the ones that have worked best for me, from pricier to more affordable brands. i’ve learned that you don’t have to break the bank to develop a tailored makeup routine. 


also, if you need more instruction, i’d recommend the 1:1 makeup classes at sephora, or visiting a makeup counter at a department store. they’ll color match you, and show you how to apply each product to enhance your natural beauty!
