We had our work holiday party a few weeks ago and I wanted to share the low maintenance makeup I did that morning. We had our party during they daytime at an adults mini-golf venue downtown (which was so much fun) and I wanted to be able to not worry about retouches or reapplying, or thinking about my makeup at…

Some days, it feels like all you have is what’s in the mirror. This was one of those days. It had been some time since I pulled myself together and I wanted to do something very Miami, but I also had to wash my hair. So I did. This look is dedicated to that slick, wet, and sexy beachy look.…

Came across these photos and I am loving eveything about it from the haircut to the bright red lipstick. Take me back! I’m in between looks right now which sounds kinda crazy but this gave me some major inspo! I kind of want to bleach my hair and put my individual eyelashes on, but I am also pretty lazy and…

For this look, I wanted something low maintenance but still quite radiant with a bit of color. Raisin has always been a color that has complemented my skin tone so this is the shade that inspired this look.

I’d love nothing more than to live out the rest of my life with unlimited funds to buy beauty products and fancy scarves, and marry a man that adores me and attends dinner parties with our wonderful friends every week, if that’s what the schedule calls for. In light of that, here’s a look I threw together, perfect for bourgeois…

Here’s a look I wore for a very busy meeting day on travel for a work conference.

It’s a little kitty cat eye I made with Make Up For Ever Aqua Paint (L22). I started in the middle of my eye and brought it out just slightly. It’s unassuming, mysterious if detected, and still very professional. Also, I just found out that Princess Diana wore blue eyeliner so… yeah. All the way!

Good day to you. Here’s a look I put together, perfect for a day-long event such as a graduation, where you don’t have the time to retouch. I focused on products that last all day on my oily skin and were vibrant enough to be noticeable, beautiful in photos, and completely wearable for all settings and events. Base Becca Ultimate…

A while back, Lorac released a set that included a full-sized blush, highlighter, and a sample-sized primer. I purchased the set sight unseen and used all of them together. It makes for a delicious combo and I especially loved the illuminating primer so much, I bought the full size.

One in particular is this thing called real life. Things happen on time when you limit yourself, such as getting to work on time! Another…

Here’s a soft, feminine look I put together while experimenting with Laura Geller’s Baked Blush in Malibu. I picked the blush up a while back on Hautelook when Laura Geller products were featured for what amounted to chump change, and the investment is most certainly paying off.

This look was inspired by Karen over at Makeup and Beauty Blog. She did a monochromatic Valentine’s Day look and I was so moved by it, I decided to recreate it, with a few modifications for my skin tone and tastes.

Would you do it? Have you done it? For me, it’s always gone one way or the other, very bad or presentable in public 😅. In general, I’ve always gone by the eyeshadow rule for mattes and satins in the crease, but I wanted to test that theory for myself to see how I felt about it. Here is one…
