“I had a makeup artist use this on me late last year, and my makeup did not move. I’m talking for like a 12, 13 hour day. This is like hairspray for the face. It just doesn’t move.”

“These cannot be replicated. I have tried many eye drops in Australia. I use eye drops for dorky reasons – like I wake up with dry eyes – and also for vanity reasons. I love these eye drops, they make your eyes look crazy white.”

“I personally love Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base, and then I mix it with the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation. I think that’s a really beautiful finish.”

“I have been battling a few little grump breakouts lately, and I use 2 types of pimple patches. If I have a little to a medium naughty pimple, I use Starface pimple patches. If I have a medium to very naughty pimple, which means we’re beneath the skin, we’re angry, we’re grumpy, we need to get her out. I use the Mecca Max spot dot micro tip.”

“Violette Eye Paints. For the last 6 months, I’ve been using this product religiously, and I’m obsessed with it.”

“I'm recommending the Conserving Beauty Oil Cleansing Cloths. They’re single-use, and they’re the ones that dissolve in water. It has that really nice oil feeling. It’s very hydrating.”

“Two people have asked me what eyeliner I was wearing today. And every time I wear this eyeliner people seem to ask me about it. And I think it’s because it’s such a rich brown shade, it’s not a charcoal brown. I just feel like it’s the perfect eyeliner if you don’t want to wear a black liquid eyeliner. It’s just really light and natural-looking”

“My swap is the Rhode Pocket Blush in Piggy. Now, full disclaimer, I bought the Piggy Blush when I was in New York, but I also have been gifted a Piggy Blush. I love this blush and I am yet to find someone it doesn’t work on.”

“Byoma. Because I am always looking for brands that are in a more accessible price point, I am always mindful of being able to pull from various prices so I can collate a routine. I think most things in the range are under $30 and it’s at Sephora, so pretty easy to get.”

“I’m going to do a lip combo and I’m going to say, it’s for the Brown girls. Often I look online, and I see a lip combo, I try it on, it looks terrible on me. But this one is tried and tested, and it’s probably the only combo I do because once I like something, I don’t know how to change it. So it’s the MECCA pout pencil in Stella, with the Rimmel Oh my gloss Butter Me Up lip butter in Latte Delight. And it’s the perfect day-to-day brown glossy combo. I love it and it's pretty affordable.”

“Following Maddie’s lip product last week, I have decided to include my own. I recently had my makeup done for an event. And I redeemed the product that the lovely makeup artist used on me for the event. The lip combo is always the easiest get and I was gotten.”

“Because I worked in the makeup category for a while, it’s been a while since I’ve been super excited by a makeup brand because you do kind of become desensitised to it. I’ve been obsessed with Farah since I saw it two years ago when I saw it. I went into store and bought the lip liner; I bought the shade Minky.” 

‍

“I was very kindly gifted this product, but you know this product is good because despite having two or three other body washes, I went into Sephora to buy yet another one.”

‍

“The lovely lady at Sephora was like, you need this setting mist. She's like, I'm not here to upsell you, I'm just here to make sure your makeup stays. I'd seen it on socials a lot, but I didn't really know much about the brand. That makeup did not move. It’s amazing.”

‍

“It's rare that I have a beauty rec. The Kosas Air Brow Clear Lifting Treatment Gel. I don't like to really mess around with a lot of brow products. Just a classic gel pulls up all the little flyaway loose ones. Even when I don't have my brows done, I have them done at the moment. They're perfect.”

“Okay, mine sounds random, but bear with me. I was travelling last week. Staying in a hotel, I'm notorious for sleeping terribly when I'm in a hotel. I stayed at the Eve in Sydney, and they had this Ikkari deep sleep tonic. It is so good.”

“Mine is my skin's just really playing up at the moment. Jo has been on this journey on panic texts, calls, FaceTimes. There's just a lot going on hormonally. I know that it's that, but it's like, I'm really paying attention to what I use. I've gone back to a trusted trio that I'm like, it just works at soothing my skin down. It is the No.4 Rationale Cleanser, the No. 1 Rationale Serum, and my Tower 28 SOS Spray.”

‍

“Well, I've been using the same clear brow gel consistently for years and haven't really ventured away from it, but I ran out of it. And so I got the Rare Beauty Brow Harmony flexible lifting gel in clear. It does come in different colours as well. So you can get ones with a little bit of tint to them, but I got the clear one, and it's actually really fucking good. Like it really holds them down, but they're not stiff and crunchy, which I don't like.” 

‍

“Mine is a product that is kind of starting to go a little bit viral. I'm seeing it everywhere, and I happen to have a sample in my cupboard. I was like, you know what, I'm going to start using this. I want to know what the fuss is about. It's the Inua PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Capsule Mist. It's got some other hydrating and barrier-supporting ingredients in it as well. It's like a lightweight, watery formula, but then it's got these fine oil-based capsules in it.”

“I'm back on my foundation game. I'm using the Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation, mostly off the back of my trip overseas because when I went to the wedding, I had a few events after, and I was like, okay, I need heavy-duty foundation in this weather. My good friend Katia, who was a makeup artist, recommended this one, so I knew it was good, and I'm obsessed with it.”
