TRULY Universally Flattering Makeup

Whether you’re on the lightest or darkest end of the foundation shade range, I’m going to be dropping my makeup kit “go to” products to achieve the most flattering, youthful complexion.

To kickstart, let’s energize our skin with a generous amount of moisturizer (I’ve touched on my favorites in a previous post, check it out!). I always go for something brightening and illuminating such as NARS’ Light Reflecting Moisturizer for a perfect base. After you prep your skin for makeup? the magic begins!



Now let’s conceal any imperfections using your favorite concealer and grab Nudestix’s Nudies Matte Cream Blush in the shade “Hot Fire” and thank me later. This blush is multipurpose here, guys! Blush… Lips… Eyes! All in one product, making our makeup bags much lighter. This formula is buildable so apply it at your own leisure! Let’s pop this on the apple of our cheeks for a natural, universally flattering shade of everything. ;)

You’re more than likely wondering how you could use red on your eyes…? Is it wearable? YES! Because of its matte formula, it dries down nicely and you can put shadows on top of it. I’d start with a small amount on the lid, blending it into the crease and finish with a light champagne or rose gold toned shimmer on the lids with your ring finger. Finish off the eyes with liner and mascara.

You could use this on your lips for this look too, just wearing it alone or you could enhance it with a TRULY universally flattering gloss like Haus Labs By Lady Gaga’s PhD Lip Oil in the shade Primary. This is a sheer cherry hue that is dreamy on literally everyone and they give you that super high shins of a gloss without the sticky feeling.
