MAC Pro Longwear Concealer is the best! It's full coverage, but I mix in a little bit of moisturizer and it becomes lightweight. I apply it under the eyes, as a concealer and a foundation. You can't even feel it on your face!

As a makeup artist, I love NARS Blush in Orgasm. It enhances your natural beauty with a touch of radiant warmth.  For a beautiful sun-kissed glow, I like to brush it over bronzer and sometimes on the eyelids for a stunning effect!

There are several ways that I like to use Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips.  #1 Apply directly to your lips; or #2 Line your lips and fill in with liner, then apply the Rosy Lips Lip Therapy.  It's beautiful and the color will stay on your lips much longer!
