Hey there!
To achieve a flawless bronzed look, start by prepping your face with moisturizer. Next, choose a crème bronzer that complements your skin tone. Use a damp makeup sponge or your fingers to dab a small amount of bronzer onto the areas where the sun naturally hits your face, like the forehead, cheeks, and jawline. Blend it in a circular motion for a seamless finish. Remember, less is more, so build up the intensity gradually. Voila! You'll have that sun-kissed glow in no time! ✨🌞
Checking in from Paris, France! 🇫🇷
Sad News: The airport lost my luggage, not only did that include all my all time favorite makeup products but also clothing, shoes and other valuable items.
The beauty of this however tho, is embracing my natural beauty. Of course, having makeup on makes you feel beautiful and confident but radiating that without makeup is something truly special.
I challenge you to go a day, week or even a month with no makeup and see how your confidence shines through.
Thank you to all my fans and subscribers for following me on my makeup journey.

Popping in to share my favorite makeup procedure:
Eyelash Lift & Tint
An eyelash lift and tint are cosmetic procedures designed to enhance the appearance of your natural eyelashes. They are often performed together to create a more dramatic and defined look. Here's an overview of the process:
Eyelash Lift:
1. Cleansing: The process usually begins with the technician cleansing your eyelashes to remove any traces of makeup, oil, or debris. This ensures that the lifting solution can adhere properly to the lashes.
2. Application of silicone pads or shields: Silicone pads or shields are used to protect your eyelid skin and help shape the eyelashes. They come in different sizes and shapes to accommodate various lash lengths and eye shapes.
3. Lifting solution: Once the silicone pads are in place, a lifting solution (a gentle perming agent) is applied to your natural lashes. This solution softens the lash structure, allowing the technician to reshape and curl them.
4. Setting solution: After the lifting solution has been on for the recommended time, it is removed, and a setting solution is applied to lock the lashes into their new lifted position. This step helps to ensure that the curl will hold for several weeks.
5. Tinting (optional): If you choose to have your lashes tinted as well, the technician will apply a semi-permanent dye to your lashes after the lifting process is complete. This step darkens your natural lashes, giving them a more defined and fuller appearance.
6. Removal of silicone pads: Once the entire process is finished, the silicone pads or shields are carefully removed, and any remaining residue is cleaned off.
It’s filming day! 📸
I couldn’t resist sharing these new products I picked up today. I am OBSESSING over the Lumi Glotion and True Match foundation by L’Oréal!
These are great affordable options that you can pick up at your local drugstore! Comment below if you’ve tried these before 🥳
Let’s talk skin makeup! AKA sunscreen ☀️
Sunscreen is the first step of any good makeup look. Having healthy and fresh skin will make any makeup look more flawless. I use the Supergoop glow screen for a light tint on my face while adding some shimmer. For the body I like the Instant Bronze by Australian Gold. This makes your body radiant and healthy looking while still protecting you from the sun😎
Guess who?! I’m back & better 🕺🏼
I have been ROUGH on my skin these past couple weeks. Between sun, makeup, sweat, this skin needs some TLC🫣
I have been treating my skin to my go to face mask. The Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleanser Mask! This mask works to remove impurities from your skin without over drying. All you need is a thing layer over the whole face. I leave this mask on for about 20-25 minutes until it’s fully dried down and then I use a warm wash cloth to gently remove the product. 🛁
PRO TIP: you can put a small amount of mask on any problem areas, or pimples you want to focus on up to 4x a week.
Caught in the act of doing what I love!
Stay tuned for my OFTV video where I test out different drug store lip liners. I give my full first impressions on every shade. 👄💄

Hi Friends!🍒
I just wanted to drop in to share one of my new obsessions! I recently tried an eyelash lift and tint, and an eye brow tint. I have always loved a natural eye, and this process will give you exactly that. An eyelash lift uses the same technique and a hair perm. It gives your lashes a beautiful lift and curl to make them look longer and fuller. The eyelash tint can be added to this service as well to make your eyelashes darker (this gives the illusion of a mascara appearance). I absolutely love this because it is non damaging to your eyelashes in comparison to some other services. 😍
If you have ever tried this service, comment below your thoughts.
If you have questions, drop them below and I’ll be happy to answer.

Ending my night off with a deep face cleaning! I have been wearing SOOOO much makeup recently and I decided I needed to do a deep clean. I absolutely love going in with a gentle face exfoliator. This will work deep into your pores to remove and excess product that may be still present.
Pro Tip: use a warm wash cloth to gently wipe away the scrub to give an even smoother and glowy look! 🧼🛀🏼
I couldn’t resist sharing my favorite vacation look with you all! Having an easy makeup look to take on the go is a staple. 💄

The power of concealer 🌟
On the left side of my face I applied concealer in the inner and outer corner of my eye and under my nose. Using a light concealer will brighter up any areas you may be feeling dull or dark. I personally use a shade lighter than I normally would to keep it bright.
Pro Tip: blend out your concealer with your fingers because the heat of your hands will warm up the product and allow it to blend easier 💐💖
Guess who’s back!
Today I’m going on my favorite makeup removing product. The ‘One Size, Go- Off Spray’! This has been my favorite product due to its ease of use and success and removing makeup. It’s easy to use and leaves your face feeling fresh and clean🧼

Skin appreciation post! 🥰
As much as I love makeup, taking breaks from it is actually really good for your face and skin health. As someone who previously struggled with acne I was always trying to cover up all the “imperfections” but now I know I was just making it worse. Implementing makeup free days into your week will allow your skin to breathe and heal from the products you use. I am a firm believer that good makeup starts with good skin!
Getting facials/facial steams gets all the toxins and oils out of your face leaving you with a beautiful natural glow. 💫
This is your sign to go makeup free today🧼
This is the perfect on the go eye look when you’re rush out the door. This eye look is a simple bronze color is the crease with you favorite mascara. 👱🏼♀️
For my day to day looks I go for something simple that still looks like I put time into my makeup. Adding a pop of color to the crease gives you a natural bronze look. Typically I use my bronzer but you can also use whatever palette you have. 💖
Pro Tip: adding a little color to smoke out your waterline area gives even more of a smokey look effect.
I can’t wait to see how you like this look 💫
Selfcare Sunday ‘Easter Edition’ 🐣🩵🩷
Recently I’ve been struggling with some breakouts, I notice that when I’m under pressure or stress I tend to have a bit more inflammation.
Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid is my secret ingredient to having clear skin. Apply this liquid to a cotton round and swipe it gently over your skin to unlock flawless skin!😗
I’m heading out for the night but just needed to share my new go to product!
The Summer Friday’s Lip Balm in the shade ‘Pink Sugar’ is my ultimate go to! It’s the perfect pink lip on the go.
Pro Tip: If you’re looking for extra coverage top this with your favorite light pink lipstick 💞🎀
The power of mascara! 🤩
I have never been an eyelash extension girl and have always embraced my natural lashes.
I go in with a lash curler to my natural lash and hold it for about 20 seconds to ensure I get the best curl and length. I then go in with my Charlotte Tilbury ‘Push Up Lashes’ mascara doing 2 coats.
Pro tip: you can heat your lash curler up with a blow dryer or lighter below to give you and even better curl👀
It’s skincare Sunday! I have been obsessed with this current skincare routine. Having a solid routine will lead to flawless makeup. Always remember that skincare is your first step of your makeup routine. With these summer months coming up your skin is so much more fragile, so make sure to hydrate with a good moisturizer. 🧴
Pro Tip: Adding bronzing drops to your moisturizer will give you a glow within when layering it under your foundation. This Kosas one gives me such a beautiful shine without leaving me greasy. ☀️
Happy Friday Eve! Today I’m sharing my go to lip combo! I like to wear this day to day or for a night out! I use a hydrating lip color on the bottom and plumping gloss on top💋
For extra coverage you can apply a neutral color liner under your first lip product. Let me know what you think of this look🤍
Using a body lotion is my favorite step of my daily routine. It locks in all the hydration to make up skin look plump and firm. 😍
For the best results I recommend using a gentle exfoliator in the shower to remove any dead skin from you body. Then follow up with a moisturizing body lotion. For even better results you can layer your favorite perfume over the lotion to smell great all day! 🧴 💌
Using a setting spray is such an important set for flawless makeup to last all day! I love using the Charolette Tilbery Setting Spray, it gives the most beautiful glow while also keeping your makeup in place. 😊
I recommend spraying before and after your makeup to ensure the best results 💖
Let me know if you try this out and how you like it!
Another Rhode product I’m OBSESSED with! I love this peptide lip treatment especially for a beach day💖 It keeps my lips nice and moisturized without being overly sticky.
Always remember your how fragile your lip skin is and always keep them moisturized with SPF infused lip products. 🤭
