MY CURRENT COMPLEXION ESSENTIALS

Dior Forever Undercover Foundation (44.95 euros) and Too Faced Peach Perfect (37.40 euros)

These are my top foundation picks right now. Dior in shade 10 offers full coverage with a powdery finish, while Too Faced in Snow and Porcelain provides buildable coverage (light to full) and a natural matte look when set. Both excel on fair winter skin, lasting all day. Though similarly priced, I prioritize quality foundations. Budget alternative: Revlon ColorStay (12.98 euros).

Diorskin Forever Undercover Concealer (31.50 euros) and Maybelline Fit Me (about 8 euros)

Concealer is key for brightening under-eyes without heaviness—it instantly wakes up your look. Dior in Light Beige blends coverage, natural finish, and unbeatable longevity. My longtime staple, Maybelline in shade 15, matches it closely at a fraction of the cost, though hold is slightly less. Widely available in supermarkets and on Amazon.

Too Faced Loose Powder Peach Perfect Mattifying (32 euros) and W7 Matte Dreamer (5.80 euros)

Setting powder locks in your base for all-day wear. Both Too Faced and W7 (available at Saga) mattify without cakiness—Too Faced feels finer, but either works beautifully.

Too Faced Sweet Peach Bronzer (30 euros) and Benefit Hoola (18.50 euros)

The Peach & Cream collection shines with Sweet Peach, a fair-skin-friendly bronzer that's subtly satiny, no glitter. Benefit's Hoola (mini size I love) is a contouring classic—test it affordably; it lasts forever.

Benefit Rockateur (37 euros) and NYX Away We Glow (10.90 euros) Blushes

Rockateur remains my all-time favorite blush—a versatile iridescent pink for any look. NYX's Sunset Blvd is a luminous hybrid blush/highlighter with excellent value and glow.

M.A.C Lightscapade (33 euros) and Sephora Natural Glow (14.95 euros) Highlighters

For that fresh, radiant finish, M.A.C's Lightscapade delivers subtle icy sheen. Sephora's version rivals luxury with strong pigmentation—highly recommend testing.
