In office, you should avoid wearing strong fragrances and heavy gourmands like Sol De Janeiro 62 and Ouai Ibiza body mists. These smell so good, but in a shared office space, others might find it distracting or nauseating. Ouai Ibiza has rum in notes and I think that scent is noticeable, making it

I would avoid wearing strong perfumes, like Kayali Vanilla 28 and Valentino Born in Roma, in the office. I get it, you want people to know you smell good, but wearing strong and heavy scents can be overwhelming at work, especially in a shared space. These perfumes are better for going out rather th

Absolutely obsessed with the Fwee Blurr Pudding Pot for no makeup makeup looks. So obsessed that I own 4 shades: Faded (dusty rose), Sth (dusty pink), Greedy (plum red), Boss (deep plum). These are cream, matte, natural blushes with buildable colors. They have a large collection of blushes with 35

Red blush can seem intimidating, but not the House of Hur Moist Ampoule Blusher in Ruby Red. This is a serum-like blush with a sheer, buildable color, so it’s only as pigmented as you want it to be. The formula is also 50% skincare—I love when makeup is also skincare! #koreanmakeup #lemon8ch

I rarely recommend a non-Asian mascara because Asian beauty brands understand my eye shape and how stubborn Asian lashes can be, but I’m obsessed with the Maybelline The Falsies Lash Lift Mascara. This mascara keeps my lashes curled all day, as well as adds dramatic length and volume, making it loo

My lip combo for the Olivia Dean concert started with the Sacheu Lip Liner Stay-N in MUAH-ve. Then, I used the Makeup By Mario Lip Liner in Spiced Chai, MAC Silky Matte Lipstick in Sin, and Marin Lip Treatment in Unscented as a clear gloss. #summermakeup #lemon8challenge #lipcombo #makeup

Another back to school nail set idea! If you’re looking for a way to elevate a simple manicure, consider adding chrome. I’ve been learning to do gel manicures on myself this summer and adding chrome is my favorite thing to do since I don’t know how to do anything else with my nails. My nails are gi

I tried the TIRTIR Mask Fit Makeup Fixer for the first time and I definitely agree it’s a good setting spray. My makeup lasted all day and didn’t smudge despite the amount of crying I did at the Olivia Dean concert. However, I did end up returning it after one use because I have sensitive and acne-

I wanted to love the Rom&nd Han All Brow Fixer, but the application looked messy and clumpy. I got shade Grace Taupe thinking it would be grey (I have black hair) and it leaned more brown on me. The spoolie was kinda big, so it made application messy. I immediately removed it and redid my brows

Haruharu Wonder Blsck Rice Moisture 5.5 Soft Cleansing Gel is a great gentle cleanser for sensitive skin, as well as an affordable option. It’s formulated with fermented black rice and bamboo shoots to soothe your sensitive skin. The formula is vegan and low pH to minimize irritation. #skincare

Clay masks are an essential for oily skin because they absorb excess oil, deep clean pores, reduce shine, and gently exfoliate. I especially love the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask, which uses jeju volcanic clusters and AHA (lactic acid). #skincareinsider #skincaresolutions #oilysk

If I had to choose between Korean and American makeup brushes, I love Korean makeup brushes, especially from Studio 17. In comparison to eastern makeup brushes, Korean brushes are softer, fluffier, and smaller. They’re used for diffusing & minimizing harsh lines, precision & detail, and thi

My summer blush essentials are Pūrlisse BB Cheek + Lip in Pink Crush ($24) and Canmake Glow Fleur Cheeks in 09 Burgundy Fleur ($13). These both have a natural finish and are buildable colors! I also love how compact they are, so they’re easy to put in your bag for touch ups. #summermakeup #l

L’oréal Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist is hairspray for your face and will lock in your summer makeup looks all day. It’s sweat-resistant, waterproof, and won’t smudge or transfer. This is known to be a dupe for the One/Size Setting Spray, but I haven’t actually tried that one, so someone let me

Kosé Collagen Sheet Masks come in a pack of 30 for daily use. These are not a solution for a damaged skin barrier, but instead, acts as support for a damaged and stressed skin barrier by providing deep hydration. Collagen also plumps skin and smooths fine lines. It’s also a gentle ingredient that a

If you have oily skin, you should wash your skin up to twice a day. A morning cleanse removes oil & dead skin cells that build up overnight. A night cleanse removes sweat, makeup, sunscreen, & pollutants from during the day. Over-washing can lead to strip skin barrier, which leads to de
