Aisling Chan: My 15 favourite beauty products


by Aisling Chan
18th Aug 2022

Digital creator Aisling Chan on her affordable hack to make hair and brows stay in place all day, the perfect everyday foundation and the powder that leaves you airbrushed.

Aisling Chan

DIOR Backstage Face & Body Foundation, €42.50

I’ve been using this foundation for around 4 years and I’ve made all of my friends buy it because it’s the perfect everyday foundation. It’s sweat and water resistant, has buildable coverage and so lightweight it just melts into the skin.

Aisling Chan

DIOR Backstage Face & Body Flash Perfector Concealer, €24

This is the concealer to match the Dior foundation and I’ve been using it nonstop for the past few months. The coverage is perfect at concealing imperfections whilst still looking seamless and I can confirm it really is waterproof as I’ve worn it while in the ocean and it didn’t budge!

Aisling Chan

Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask, €21.95

TikTok made me do it and I have no regrets. It’s super hydrating and nourishing, it feels like a little self-care moment every time I use this lip balm. I also wear it during the day with a nude lipliner on ‘no make-up’ days and it instantly makes me feel more put together.

Aisling Chan

Makeup By Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette, €46.30

The perfect neutral eyeshadow palette, perfect for travelling or popping in your make-up bag. Obsessed with the tones in this!

Aisling Chan

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, €22

The formula of these liquid blushers is one of the best I’ve used! They stay dewy without being sticky and they’re so pigmented. I’ve just posted a try-on Reel using four different shades on my Instagram.

Aisling Chan

Morphe Colour Pencil in Sweet Tea, €6

I love Morphe lip pencils for their nude brown tones and they glide like a dream. Sweet Tea is my favourite warm nude brown lip liner for my skin tone.

Aisling Chan

NARS Afterglow Lip Shine in A-lister, €26

This gloss is so hydrating and feels like a lip oil which makes it so comfortable. It gives the most beautiful shine too and this golden shade is stunning with the Morphe liner.

Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, €34.95

My skin is more on the dry side so exfoliating is key in my skincare routine. This product gives such a stunning glow to the skin and doesn’t try out the skin.

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream, €22

My skin always feels so plump and soft after using this moisturizer, the press to release packaging is also so fun! It helps with skin tone and fine lines and texture so it’s an amazing allrounder.

MAC Colour Excess Gel Pencil, €22

If you find that your eyeliner smudges or transfers I definitely recommend this pencil! It’s waterproof and transfer-proof and lasts all day in the waterline.

L’Oréal Pro Metal Detox Anti-Metal Cleansing Shampoo, €28

This has been my secret to keeping my blonde looking fresh and bright. A must for coloured hair.

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, €32

This is definitely the best setting spray I’ve ever used, it’s amazing at keeping your make-up in place! Spray your face before and after applying your make-up and it will be locked in all day.

CeraVe Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF 50, €12

I love CeraVe products so it’s amazing that this contains SPF 50 and I don’t have to wear separate sun protection as they can sometimes disrupt my make-up. This is super light and hydrating.

Huda Beauty Easy Bake Powder, €37

I love using this powder to bake under my eyes and add that little bit of brightness. It really gives that airbrushed finish when setting your face.

Got2b Glued Gel, €4.99

When I need a super snatched sleek bun this is always my go-to because I know my hair will stay in place all day. It also works on your brows for that laminated look.
