Not Just Face Value:
Confessions of a makeup Artist

Product Reviews

In Product Reviews, I’m bringing you the latest and greatest (and sometimes…the not-so-greatest) from the world of skincare, makeup, and everything beauty. As someone who lives, breathes, and basically dreams in beauty products, I’ve tried it all — so you don’t have to waste your time or your money. 🛍️✨

From brand-new launches that everyone’s buzzing about to the tried-and-true MVPs that have earned their permanent spot in my kit, I’m here to give you the real scoop: what’s actually worth the hype, what truly delivers, and what you can happily leave sitting on the shelf.

Here’s what you can expect inside:

  • Honest opinions: If I love it, you’ll know. If it’s a “meh,” you’ll definitely know. 😉
  • Pro-tested insights: I put products through their paces — in the studio, on set, and in everyday life.
  • Skincare and makeup finds: From high-end luxury to hidden drugstore gems, nothing is off-limits.
  • Recommendations I stand by: If it’s in my professional kit or personal vanity, you can trust it’s been battle-tested — and loved.

Because here’s the thing: when it comes to beauty, you deserve more than pretty packaging and big promises. You deserve products that actually work, that feel good, that make you glow from the inside out — whether you’re walking into a photo shoot, prepping for a big event, or just owning your Tuesday like the queen you are. 👑💖

Why My Reviews Hit Different
I’m not just casually trying a product once and snapping a cute flatlay. I’m putting these products through the real-deal beauty bootcamp:

  • Can it handle a long production day under hot lights?
  • Will it still look flawless after hours of being in front of a camera?
  • Does it survive real life — sweating, smiling, hugging, laughing, living?
    Because that’s what truly matters — and that’s what I’m here to share with you.

You’ll also find little tips along the way: how I use a product for different skin types, how to tweak a formula to work better for you, and my favorite combos that can take something good and make it chef’s kiss amazing. 👩‍🍳💄✨

Who This Is For:

  • Clients who want pro-approved product picks for their personal beauty routine
  • Beauty lovers who crave honest, no-nonsense reviews from someone who actually works with products daily
  • Fellow artists who want to know what’s kit-worthy and what’s just hype
  • Anyone who’s tired of wasting money on stuff that doesn’t live up to the promise (hi, same!)
