Make Up Magic

I'm not a professional, but I think I do well enough with my make up and with these products. A mix of high end with drugstore brands works well for me - as I just use what I think feels good and lasts long enough for when I am out. Links included as...

It really isn't lying when it says 'airbrush' finish. I usually use this AFTER my fix it spray (everyone has their own method, this is mine okay, lol). I find even with the spray - I prefer a bit of powder over everything as a 'final' touch. I apply ...

For medium tone (browner complexion with yellow undertones), I love love love this highlighter palette. Gumdrop and starburst are honestly magical, and marshmallow and butterscotch are for a more 'basic' highlighter look. If you do use highlighter - ...

Versatile blush trio - which most times I end up swiping across my brush on all three which I find gives a good 'standard blush'. Individually though, they are all also great for use and all are well pigmented without crossing over into clownville.

May just be the millennial in me - but nothing beats a good contour set and the ABH palette is a great go-to. I use this for everyday and for formal event make up and it works perfectly for either.

The BEST mascara I've ever used. I love to enhance my natural lashes, but still have a bit of drama. For someone who has a moderate to long lash length - this mascara can lengthen just enough so you get a 'lash extension' look - without having to do ...

The first time I used this foundation, was the last time I used any other :] I am not someone who likes heavy foundation; but I do want a foundation base for some events/outings and this is a perfect medium coverage foundation.

If you love a little tingle with your gloss (or don't mind) then this is a great gloss. I do find it does plump your lips and the shades are subtle enough. It works well also with the Vinyl Inks or by itself! My shade is hot chili - so I think this w...

For me, MAC is a really great brand for brown/indo skintones. I've used this powder for over a decade - even after having other brands - I still keep going back to the StudioFix. The coverage is great for people who don't want to use a liquid foundat...

I'm from T&T and so is Sasha Cosmetics, but that's not why I use it. It is a MAGNET for the grease on your face. I've had long days where I had work all day, and had to RUN to an event on evenings so I couldn't do a fresh face. A bit of this Sett...

Definitely a good make up add in your 30s as a brown tone girl. The orange colour corrector works as a great skin colour corrector under your eyes. You only need a teeny bit under your eyes (applied with a fluff brush) - wait for it to dry & then... - let dry - then apply a bit of powder to set (with a brush so it doesn't add too much and leave creasing) - voila - nice alive looking under eyes lol. Especially useful to get that fresh make up look vs. the 2016-matte-face glam vibe.
