MY MAKEUP LOVE: MAKEUP FOREVER VELVET FOUNDATION

I think I have died and gone to foundation heaven. My face feels so silky and soft. It honestly feels like I am not wearing foundation. I am in love with the Makeup Forever Velvet foundation. I will definitely be repurchasing.

MAKEUP TIP FOR THE DAY: HOW TO CONTROL YOUR OIL?

Do you have oily skin? Do you hate having to keep blotting or touching up your makeup? I will tell you a secret. 

MAKEUP TIP FOR THE DAY: HOW TO GET THAT YOUTHFUL GLOW?

To get that youthful glow, I love to use shimmer bronzer. There are a lot of highlighters

or shimmer bronzers out there in the market. For me personally I always reach for my

handy, dandy shimmer bronzer in Glow from NYC.

• Place shimmer bronzer on top of cheek bones

• Place shimmer bronzer on cupids bow

• Place shimmer bronzer on bridge of nose

• Place shimmer bronzer on forehead

**Side Note: If you have oily skin, please do not overload on the shimmer or you will

end up looking like a grease ball. Skip steps three and four.
