Create A Flawless Face With The Beautyblender

Sometimes the smallest tools have the biggest impact on creating a flawless makeup look. The Beautyblender helps me give an airbrush-like finish to my client’s skin. It's shape and texture allows me to apply foundation smoothly and evenly to the entire face with ease. The pointed tip of Beautyblender is perfect for applying makeup with precision (highlighting, contouring, etc.) and the blunt end is great for blending out harsh lines.

The Beautyblender is also great for applying concealers, powders, and cream blush seamlessly. It is a permanent fixture in my makeup kit! You can find Beautyblender at your local Sephora or on Beautyblender's website.

Matte Is Where Its At

When on the hunt for the perfect new lip color, we often times gravitate to the colors that have a glossy or satin finish. It's about time we step out of the box and try something new. Matte lipsticks are really leading the pack with the boldest, brightest colors for the season, not to mention the staying power they posses so no need for frequent touch-ups! So if your looking for the perfect accessory to complete your fab look...grab an intense matte. Be sure to gently exfoliate your lips with a bit of sugar & honey and smooth on some lip balm, blot with tissue then add lip color.

Here are a few hot matte colors to choose from:
Ruby Woo by MAC Cosmetics

Bright Pink Matte by Sephora

Volga By Nars

Nude Attitude by REVLON

Camera Ready Under the Water

Tis' the season for a vacation and I want to make sure your camera ready for those under-water camera shots. If your like me, I love taking lots of pictures while I'm on vacation and this does not exclude being under the water. Soooo I want to make sure your still looking hot after being under the water and being in the heat all day. Here's some products that will insure you keep a flawless, camera ready look!

Make sure you start off with a great moisturizer loaded with SPF for protection. Next up, start off by using MAC Cosmetics Face And Body Foundation which is a water based, water resistant foundation. This foundation provides a long lasting, sheer and natural looking coverage for the Face and/or Body.

DiorShow Water-proof Mascara is THE absolute best! Benetint is a water-proof, sheer tint that gives you just the right flush of color that literally lasts for hours. This product can also be used as a lip and cheek stain however, on the lips I would recommend using a lip conditioner first.

Makeup Forever has a water-proof liquid Eyebrow Corrector that fills, defines and intensifies brows with true staying power. And it conveniently comes in four shades to suit any complexion. I would recommend using this with a angle brush for control and procision.

Sephora Brand Flashy Liner is also water-proof and comes in an array of fun colors for the eyes.

So remember to take plenty of pictures to capture the moment because sometimes you only get one shot!
