If you know me, you know I love testing out new skincare and makeup products. By now, I am pretty confident that I do have a routine down. And I’d know right away what works and doesn’t work!
I think the hardest part is to find the right product. The right product should perform exactly what it says it does (and a little more!) and help make my routine easier. Then once I find what works, I’d stick to it for years.
So for today’s blog post, I am sharing with you my updated makeup routine for 2023. Even though the steps and core products stay the same, I do have a handful of new products that I think are so exciting and need to be shared. Please note that products with a (*) are either gifted in PR or sent over in exchange for a review or social media posting.
Let me know in the comment what you’d like to see next on Style & Senses, and happy shopping!
