Make Up
I am obsessed (in a good way), with make up. It is so powerful. I love how woman instantly feel amazing after doing their make up. Something so simple makes us feel good. What are some of your favorite products at the moment?
1. Foundation- N.Y.C 2. Powder - Studio Mac Fix 3. Concealer - Maybelline Super Stay 24hr concealer. 4. Blusher and Bronzer 5. Eye-shadow - I love the L'Oreal 24hr eye shadows. 6. Liquid/Gel eye-liner -Ulta eyeliners are good 7. Pencil eye-liner - Ulta 8. Mascara - MAC plush lash 9. Lipstick - I am in love with the Lip Butters from Revlon 10. Lip Gloss - Revlon Lip Gloss are the best
I love the Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner from L'Oreal. It goes on smoothly, without pulling the delicate skin around the eyes. Perfect for the smokey eye look!

Smashbox concealers are great, but if it doesn't have a salmon or peach undertone, then it is not really concealing anything. Orange and peach undertone concealers cover dark blue, black, or gray under eye circles. If your concealer has a yellow undertone, it is only highlighting the under eye circles. No BUENO!
Well, for example, Mac's concealers have a system called NC and NW. NC is Nuetral Cool and NW is Nuetral Warm. NW has peach warm tints. Peach and orange tones erase dark circles,usually blue and purple. NC has a yellow undertone. Yellow doesn't cover dark blue and purple circles. NC covers red circles. NW covers blue and purple circles. If your tan, then most likely under the eye it's usually blue or purple. Lighter skin tones under the eye is usually red. Most brands only have yellow undertone concealers. Mac, Bobbie brown, and loreal true match are the only 3 brands that I know that have pink and peach toned concealers. The best way to see the undertone is to compare 2 products at once. After you master it, picking out a foundation will be easier. :) hope this helps.
