Let’s get started!

 

Face Products

Primer

An important and first step to ensuring a flawless-looking face is applying a primer. This makeup product will make your foundation go on smoothly and last all day!

Foundation

Magical in all its forms (liquid, powder, and cream), foundation is a great product to even-out your skin tone, making your skin look picture perfect.

Concealer

Doing exactly what it says, concealers are designed to conceal imperfections - mainly under the eyes - like dark circles and are also used to cover up blemishes and tone-down any redness on the face.

Loose/Compact Powder

After creating the perfect canvas that is your face, it’s time to set the products by using a loose/compact powder - especially if you’re on the oilier side.

Contour Product

Contouring is a complicated, but not impossible, technique to master. It’s a game of shadow and light, allowing you to sculpt the structure of your face with the help of amazing contour products.

Highlighter

Rise and SHINE hunnie, highlighters are here to provide you with a glow so bright, you’ll need sunglasses.

Blush and Bronzer

These products help to add color and life to your face - very important after foundation application which tends to make the face look flat.

Another secret weapon to make your makeup last all day? A setting spray. They lock-in all the hard work you’ve just done and help with setting the loose products.

Just like your face, your eyelids need priming too!
