1. The Complexion & Base Essentials

  • BareMinerals Foundation (Golden Dark): Your go-to for healthy, radiant skin. The golden dark shade provides beautiful warmth and breathable coverage that feels like second skin while keeping things smooth and polished.
  • NARS Laguna Bronzer: The holy grail for sun-kissed definition. Dusting this along the high points of the face gives an instant, effortless warmth that pairs gorgeously with a fresh blowout and a sharp blazer.

2. Eyes & Color Play

  • Wei Ni Xiao Xiong (Eyeshadow): Known for vibrant, fun palettes (often featuring playful bear branding) packed with shimmer and diamond-bright glitter shades that make your eyes pop.
  • Color Vibes (Eyeshadow): Great for versatile, everyday color transitions and creative looks.
  • Fit Colors (Lip Gloss): Delivers a high-shine, glossy finish that pulls any casual or glam outfit together with a juicy, hydrated look.
  • MAC Lip Mix: A makeup artist secret weapon! It allows you to mix and customize your exact lip color intensity and tone to match any mood or outfit.

How to Pair Your Makeup with Your High-Low Style

  1. Keep the Base Radiant: Use your BareMinerals foundation and NARS Laguna bronzer to create a healthy, glowing complexion that looks incredible in natural daylight or flash photography.
  2. Pop of Glam: Pair a sleek neutral outfit (like a white blazer and dark skinny jeans) with a statement eye using your Wei Ni Xiao Xiong or Color Vibes shadows, finished with high-shine Fit Colors gloss.
  3. Custom Lips: Use MAC Lip Mix to create a custom signature lip shade that ties your entire look together.
