  • Decode Your Skin Type and What to Use for It

    Here’s the truth: skincare only feels chaotic until you figure out what kind of skin you’re actually dealing with. Once you know that, everything suddenly becomes way less confusing and way more “wow, I actually know what I’m doing.”

    If your face turns into a disco ball by noon, welcome to the oily skin gang. Go for lightweight legends like La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel or Neutrogena Hydro Boost. And if you want the luxe glow-up? Tatcha Water Cream will have you looking rich without feeling greasy.

    Feeling tight, flaky, or like your skin is begging for a glass of water? That’s dry skin energy. Stick to comforting basics like CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, or level up with Laneige Water Bank Cream or Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream. Think: hydration on hydration.

    Combination skin is the real plot twist—oily here, dry there, confused everywhere. Keep things balanced with COSRX Low pH Cleanser and treat your skin to Shiseido Essential Energy when you want that smooth, even finish.

    If your skin is just… chill most days, congratulations. You’ve got normal skin. Keep it cute with Simple Moisturizing Wash or upgrade to the dewy goodness of Belif Aqua Bomb.

    And if your skin gets triggered faster than your group chat, you’re in the sensitive skin club. Go for calming staples like Avene Cicalfate, or splurge on La Mer Soft Cream when you’re feeling fancy.

    Know your skin. Pick your players. Glow like you mean it.

    This year’s bridal makeup is all about glowing skin, soft blush, and eyes that look naturally charming. To achieve this look, start by preparing your skin. Use a hydrating base like the Laneige Water Sleeping Mask or Clinique Moisture Surge, and gently exfoliate with The Ordinary AHA BHA Peeling Solution or Dot & Key Rice Water Face Scrub. Pick breathable, radiant makeup products that highlight your natural features, such as Charlotte Tilburry Airbrush Flawless Foundation and NARS Sheer Glow Foundation. For oily skin, try incorporating a mattifying primer and oil-free foundation for longevity.

    If you have dry skin, focus on moisturizing products and a cream-based foundation for a dewy finish. Sensitive skin types should look for hypoallergenic and fragrance-free options to minimize irritation. This wedding season, let your skin shine with its own story.

  • Skinimalism: The Less-Is-More Makeup Look for College

    Skinimalism: The Less-Is-More Makeup Look for College

    Get that healthy glow on campus! Heavy makeup is out and healthy skin is in. Skinimalism is a beauty trend that emphasizes natural skin, little work, and a lot of confidence. Welcome to this new age. It’s all about making your regimen easier, accepting your natural texture, and allowing your true beauty shine through.

    Let’s be honest: full-glam regimens aren’t always possible when you have early morning courses and lengthy days at college. Skinimalism comes in at that point. To begin, make sure your base is well-hydrated and fresh. For light, non-greasy hydration, consider Clinique Moisture Surge or Plum Green Tea Oil-Free Moisturizer. Never forget your SPF, and add a glow boost with a Vitamin C serum like Minimalist 10% Vitamin C. Re’equil Ultra Matte Dry Touch Sunscreen is a fantastic choice.

    Instead of thick foundations, choose light, breathable ones. Choose either NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer or Kay Beauty Hydrating Foundation. They both balance out your skin tone without covering it up. For a natural blush, put on either Benefit Benetint or Rare Beauty Pinch Liquid Blush. Then, use Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara to make your eyes seem bigger.

    What happened? A new, bright, and put-together appearance that works for college, hanging out, and everything in between.

    Skinimalism isn’t about hiding who you are; it’s about being who you are. You are confident, radiant, and entirely you.
