Top Must-Have Cool-Toned Makeup Products for 2024
Hello friends, and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Today is the second part of my “Best of 2023” series, and we are diving into my favourite makeup products and tools that I used during 2023 and will continue to adore in 2024!
I found something surprising, but when I stopped to think about it, it was not that unexpected: most of my favourite makeup is cool-toned! If you are familiar with my seasonal colour content, then the majority of my favourites being cool-toned will not be a surprise, as when I had my seasonal colour analysis done, I was sorted as a light summer, a cool-neutral seasonal palette!
Last week, I shared my Favourite Skincare of 2023, which emphasized sensitive skin as my rosacea was quite active for the year's first half. Towards the end of the year, my skin barrier was not in the best shape, making my skin feel dehydrated, irritable, and textured! Thankfully, the makeup products I loved throughout the year were beyond excellent for giving my complexion a more even and smoother appearance without exasperating any of the sensitized skin issues I was experiencing!
Next week, we will be wrapping up my favourites of 2023 with all of my favourite fragrances and miscellaneous beauty loves! I cannot wait to see you there!
Warm Wishes,
Zack
