Sephora is having their semi-annual Beauty Insider sale, so I’m sharing my holy grail skincare, makeup, and hair products!

As the weather warms up, I’ve been transitioning out of my winter skin care routine and simplifying it.

Today I am sharing my everyday makeup routine because this is a request I get a lot more often than I expected (my expectation being never), especially after I did my own makeup for my engagement shoot and wedding. As I mentioned in my skincare post, I prefer my everyday makeup to be pretty minimal, and this is what I have found works for my face. When I was trying to hack my own wedding makeup, I know how helpful it was to get product recommendations from other Asian women with similar facial features, so while I am by NO means a makeup guru (I only started wearing makeup after college), I hope this post is informative and helpful!

I never really took care of my skin until college. Having grown up in the south, I never needed to, really, but my first NYC winter did a number on my dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin. Through a lot of trial and error, I’ve found the following products keep my skin moisturized and minimally inflamed through the frigid and dry months. Especially if you’re like me and prefer to wear minimal makeup (i.e. no foundation, just concealer on trouble spots), taking care of your skin is a worthy investment as it saves you time in the mornings getting ready and $$ you’d spend on makeup!
