A total makeup novice with no idea where to start, my second attendant recommended Clinique.
She had glam down patwaybefore YouTube’s GRWM era, so I trusted her.
I went to the mall and left with the Even Better Foundation and Sheer Pressed Powder.

In grad school, a year later, I also started using their three-step skincare system.
Take The Day Off is incredibly gentle, removing all traces of my mascara, lipstick, and foundation.
I can’t justify that price tag when more affordable drugstore options are just as effective.

But if you like to stick with one brand across all your skincare products, I’d recommend it.
Fortunately, the Liquid Facial Soap won’t set me back too much.
A bonus is that you don’t need a lot.

In a word, my skin looks and feels healthy whenever I use this product.

Pop Longwear Lipstick
Pop Longwear couldn’t be a more appropriate name for this lipstick.
The collection comes in matte, satin, and shine finishes, and the pigment packs a major punch.

I particularly love the shade Pow Pop.
Pow Pop is a matte finish that glides on the lips very smoothly and doesn’t feel dry.
I also appreciate that it lasts for hours before a touchup is needed.
