  • Chemical vs. Mineral sunscreen: What’s the diff?

    Lately I find mineral sunscreens have been becoming a lot of people’s sunscreen of choice. I have wondered, why?

  • Nude Lipsticks for medium-deep skin tones and pigmented lips

    Throughout the years, I’ve tried many lipsticks and much of the shades I’ve been drawn to were nude pinks and browns.  For special occasions – bold pinks, reds, and oranges.

About Me

Why should you care about what I think about makeup? Why should you take my recommendations? Once upon a time I lived for makeup. I bought so much, swatched anything worth swatching. I’ve tried so much and bought so much. I was a Sephora makeup junkie.  Although my current life is much different than ‘once upon a time’ was –  being a new mother, working from home since Covid hit so not wearing makeup for years, not having much time to myself and  being on a budget, my love of makeup remains.  My makeup collection is still quite large compared to the everyday Jeynthi, but my everyday makeup routine can be done in less than 5 minutes, all with products I love!  If you can relate, follow along. I don’t intend to make it complicated. 

Below are some of my makeup stats!

Foundation matches:

Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder – 9 deep
Armani Beauty Luminous Silk – 8.75
MAC Studio Radiance Sheer Face & Body – C5

Skin type: Normal/dry

Skin concerns: Keratosis Pilaris (KP), rosacea on cheeks (redness)
