Purple Smokey Eye

Hey!

Purple is probably one of my favorite colors to play around with.  I think it's both versatile and complimentary to all eye colors.  I recently got one of the Mac Pigments in purple and I'm loving it!  I played around with a couple of different looks and decided to do a purple smokey eye because it's a little different and fun.  I hope you guys enjoy the video!!

Favorite Products!

Hey guys!


I've tried A LOT of products throughout the years and some were majorly disappointing while others I still use to this day.  And while I think there are a lot of different factors that go into what makes a product your "favorite", quality is something that you can't argue with.  Check out my video below to see my favorite products!

Makeup For Blue Eyes

Hey guys!

So obviously I have brown eyes, but I'm always getting asked what shadows look the best on blue eyes.  I decided to make a video showing a great go-to look for people with gorgeous blue eyes.  While brown is considered the most versatile, I think there are so many different things you can do with blue eyes, and there is a way to use every color if you just know how!  So check out my video below to see my look! 

What are your favorite blue eyed looks?

My Skin Care Routine

Hey guys!

Skin care is something that has always been very important to me.  As a teenager I had HORRIBLE skin and tried everything under the sun to get it better.  Now, as an adult, I try and take good care of my skin to heed off wrinkles as long as possible!  

I think the best products for clear skin (and mind you this is after having tried ProActive, prescription skin care, etc.) is honestly Clean and Clear.  I don't know why but their products seemed to clear up my skin in a way that no other product before had been able to.  I still use their face wash and blemish cream to this day!

For moisturizing I love Garnier's products.  They have a great moisturizer that reverses the effects of sun damage, and it's light weight so your skin doesn't get that greasy, heavy feeling a lot of moisturizers leave.  

For anti-wrinkle creams I'm a big fan of Estee Lauder products.  They have an amazing line, and it's reasonably priced especially compared to a lot of the products out there.  I'm loving their Advanced Night Repair Serums and their new Revitalizing Supreme Moisturizer!  

Check out my video below to hear all my thoughts on these products and more!  :)

EASY Highlighting and Contouring

Hey guys!

So highlighting and contouring is all the rage right now and for good reason.  It can help emphasize or de-emphasize features that you love or hate.  A lot of the videos I've seen on youtube have been really intense with all sorts of crazy dark colors and lines, and numbered and all this crazy stuff.  I myself use contouring every day because I hate the roundness of my face and like to give the illusion of cheekbones.  However, my contouring is not nearly as complicated as a lot of the videos out there.  Check out my video below to see how I do this, and some tricks for changing face shapes, noses, eyes etc.  Hope you guys like it!
