THE BASICS

• Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder, Universal
• IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer, Light Natural
  • This was creasing on me like mad for a while, but that may have been user error. Formula is quite thick, and I sometimes forget to keep that in mind. Skin tone match is damn near spot on
