My goal with this post is to help you discover makeup that enhances your natural beauty and feels true to you. Whether you’re a makeup pro or prefer to keep things simple, I’m here to share my favorite products and tips to help your inner sparkle shine through. Let’s get started!
My Makeup Philosophy as a Type 1 Woman
As a Type 1 woman, my makeup philosophy is all about keeping things fresh, fun, and easy. I love bright, vibrant colors that reflect my uplifting energy—pastels, light pinks, soft golds. These colors enhance our natural brightness and make our features pop in the best way!
For me, it’s also important that my makeup routine feels simple and joyful. I don’t want to spend an hour applying makeup; I want something quick, light, and playful! When I stay in harmony with my Type 1 energy, makeup becomes less about covering up and more about celebrating who I am.

Let’s get into the fun part—my absolute favorite products for Type 1 women! These are the ones I reach for again and again because they enhance my features, feel effortless, and keep me glowing all day.
1. Foundation: Dual Blend Powder Foundation
Why I love it: This lightweight mineral foundation creates the perfect base for our bright, cheerful energy. It evens out my skin tone, feels super breathable, and leaves me with a fresh, natural finish that’s perfect for a Type 1 glow.
2. Blush: Sunkissed – Blush

Type 1 Must-Share Makeup Tips
Over the years, I’ve learned a lot of tricks to keep my makeup routine simple and fun. Here are my top four tips for Type 1 women:
1. Prep Your Skin for a Fresh Start
Start with clean, moisturized skin to create the perfect base for your makeup. I always apply our lightweight, hydrating primer—it makes such a difference in how smooth and glowy my makeup looks throughout the day!
2. Keep Eyeshadow Simple
You don’t need to overcomplicate things with 10 different shades. I usually stick to 2-3 colors: a light shimmer on my lids, a soft neutral in the crease, and a highlight in the inner corners. This keeps my eyes looking bright and open.
3. Choose Lip Colors That Spark Joy
Lip colors can make or break your makeup look, so pick shades that truly feel like you. For Type 1 women, soft pinks, corals, or even a poppy red are perfect for adding that cheerful touch. Experiment and have fun!
4. Highlight Strategically
Highlighter is your best friend. I dab a little on my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose, and in the inner corners of my eyes to bring more light to my face. It’s an easy way to reflect that radiant Type 1 energy!
When you match your makeup choices with your Type 1 energy, you’ll feel more like yourself—and that’s what Dressing Your Truth is all about! I hope these tips and product recommendations inspire you to embrace your natural beauty and have fun with your makeup routine.
