Let me tell you a little secret: the first time I saw my Type 3 makeup palette, I felt like someone had finally handed me the keys to my own power. The rich, dynamic colors made my features pop in a way that felt unmistakably me.
My Makeup Philosophy as a Type 3 Woman
As a professional makeup artist and a Type 3 woman, I’ve always believed that makeup should be easy to apply and fun to wear. It’s not about perfection—it’s about bringing out the best version of you!
If you’ve ever struggled to find makeup that enhances your natural beauty without feeling fussy or overdone, you’re in the right place. My goal today is to share my favorite Type 3 products and tips so you can create a look that’s as dynamic and confident as you are.
Type 3 Must-Have Makeup Products
The right products make all the difference. These are my go-to favorites that work hard and deliver results, just like a Type 3 woman needs!
1. Dual Blend Powder Foundation + Buffer Brush
Why I love it: Dual Blend Powder Foundation –This duo is a dream team! The Dual Blend Powder Foundation gives you reapply-anytime coverage with a soft matte finish—no chalky look here. (I wear shade 105.)
And the Buffer Foundation Brush? It makes every application smooth and flawless. It’s perfect for blending and fixing any foundation mishaps in seconds.
2. Bare Canvas Eyeshadow
Why I love it: If I could only use one eyeshadow forever, this would be it! Bare Canvas highlights and blends effortlessly. It’s the perfect neutral—not too sparkly, not too flat. I use it every single day, no matter what other colors I’m wearing.
3. Baroque Eyeliner
Why I love it: This eyeliner gets me compliments every single time. My husband even remembers its name because he says it makes my eyes “so pretty today” whenever I wear it.
The rich color defines your eyes and brings out that dynamic Type 3 spark.
4. Lip Plumper
Why I love it: This one’s part of my daily routine! I swipe it on right after brushing my teeth—it’s that easy.
It plumps everything out, keeps my lips soft and hydrated, and pairs beautifully with every look.
5. Peony Lip Gloss
Why I love it: The ultimate go-with-everything lip color! Peony is versatile and flattering and adds just the right burst of Type 3 energy.
Trust me, it’ll become your go-to.
Type 3 Must-Share Makeup Tips
Makeup should work for you, not the other way around. These tips will cut down on time, boost confidence, and make your routine easier—all while keeping your look vibrant and dynamic.
1. The Power of Skin Preparation
Great makeup starts with great skin. Start with clean, moisturized skin to ensure a smooth base for your makeup.
Hydrated skin makes a huge difference, helping your makeup go on effortlessly and stay fresh all day. Make it part of your daily routine for a glowing, vibrant look.
I love the Skin Brightening Serum to start my day!
2. The Power of Primer
Primer, primer, primer! If you’re not using a primer, you’re doing it wrong.
Primer isn’t just an extra step—it’s a game-changer. It smooths out your skin, blurs imperfections, and creates the perfect base to hold your makeup in place all day long.
Think of it as your makeup’s secret weapon. Apply a small amount after moisturizing and before foundation, and watch how your makeup transforms into a flawless, long-lasting masterpiece.
3. Tools Matter
The right tools don’t just make applications easier—they can fix almost any mistake.
Invest in quality brushes like the Buffer Foundation Brush and Brush Starter Kit to elevate your routine.
4. Confidence is Key
Makeup is a tool for you. It’s not about meeting anyone else’s standard—it’s about expressing your dynamic self.
You’re already beautiful—your makeup just enhances it a little. As a professional makeup artist, I’ve worked with hundreds of women, and let me tell you:
The most stunning look isn’t about perfect application or the trendiest products—it’s about confidence.
When a woman feels good in her skin and trusts her ability to enhance her natural beauty, it shows. Her energy is magnetic, her presence undeniable.
So wear your makeup confidently, embrace your unique beauty, and let your Type 3 energy shine.
Trust yourself—you’ve got this!
