TUTORIAL | My Birthday Makeup Look featuring No7, Tom Ford, and more!



My complexion was clearing up so well, and then thanks to period week, all the progress my acne had made went up in flames. It's fine, though, because I found a new base makeup product that helps cover up the damage! This foundation just won a 2016 Spring Beauty O-ward from O The Oprah Magazine, and best of all, it's affordable! Check out the No 7 Stay Perfect Foundation in action in my new video below.


No7 Stay Perfect Foundation in Warm Beige http://bit.ly/AprilMatchMade
No7 Radiant Glow Concealer in Light
Giorgio Armani Powder Foundation in 4
Troy Surratt Eyebrow Pencil in Raven
Tom Ford Eye Palette in Disco Dust
Shu Uemura Liquid Eyeliner
Marc Jacobs Fineliner Pencil
Armani Waterproof Mascara
KISS Blooming Lashes
Sisley Phyto-Touch Bronzer
LORAC Lip Pencil in Heiress
No7 Matte Lip Crayon in Dusky Rose
Wayne Goss Brush for Powder
Chikuhodo Brush for Bronzer

The No7 Stay Perfect Foundation in Warm Beige is an excellent color match for me. I am a touch darker than my usual light-medium coloring due to retinol usage, but I feel that I could use it in the winter at my palest as well. I am impressed by the long-wearing formula, and it is unlike any other pharmacy formula I have tried because it doesn't sit in my pores and did not irritate my existing acne or cause new break outs! No odor or scent, truly fragrance free. 

It is $15.99 which makes it an ideal foundation for daily use. I usually only wear foundation when I'm filming or experimenting with a new formula, but Stay Perfect is something I could wear every day because of the satiny finish that mimics real skin. It doesn't accentuate dry patches (again, from the retinols), and it blurs imperfections without feeling greasy or looking like a flat overdone mask. Give it a try!

Fleur Fantasy: A Makeup Pictorial Inspired by "The Ring and The Crown"



To celebrate the New York Times best-selling author Melissa de la Cruz's new book, "The Ring and The Crown," I created a pictorial for a makeup look inspired by the stunning cover art! I loved the flower crown feature so much, I decided to make my own. I incorporated more purple to match the decadent eyeshadow look and added a bewitchingly bold pink lip to create the effect of a fairer, brighter complexion. Check out more details after the jump!

My Natural, "Everyday Chic" Makeup + Hair using By Terry, Kevyn Aucoin, Lipstick Queen, and Oribe + SPACENK GIVEAWAY



The beauty of everyday makeup is that it can be casual while pretty. It is all about creating as flawless a canvas as possible and enhancing the features with hints of color. We may all have different ideas regarding what is natural, but this is definitely a chic everyday look in my book. The hair is a deconsructed look which is not a style I generally gravitate toward, but I have been branching out and trying new techniques with my hair. This ponytail is low maintenance and quick to achieve, so I figured I would share my styling tips. I hope you enjoy seeing the lovely Kevyn Aucoin, By Terry, Lipstick Queen, and Oribe products in action, as I am really attached to these brands nowadays!
