When it comes to my hair, “picky” is an understatement. I’ve always been very particular, which allowed me to maintain long, shiny, healthy hair (despite all the chemical processing I was doing to it). So when postpartum hair loss hit me like a freight train, I obsessed over stopping the hair loss and maintaining the health of the hair I had left. I tried a three-step Nioxin regimin (fail) and I was about to go all-in on minoxidil as a last resort, but I was terrified of the horror stories about people losing more hair after they stopped using it. A little more research led me to pumpkin seed and saw palmetto supplements. Now, I’m finally seeing some new growth and my hair is strong and healthy. I believe these products have everything to do with that!

Step 1: Primer- let primer set for a couple of minutes onto skin
Step 2: Foundation & concealer- I like to apply my foundation with a dampened beauty blender sponge. I also blend out my concealer with the beauty blender as well.
Step 3: I set my foundation and concealer with loose and then pressed powder. I use a triangle powder puff to light tap in my powders
Step 4: Contour & blush- I like to apply my contour and bronzer slightly above the hallows of my cheek. I like to apply my blush directly onto the apples of my cheek and blend toward my ear. I also contour my jaw line, down the bridges of my nose, and forehead( blending into hairline).
Step 5: I apply highlighter on the highest point of my cheek bones, down the middle of my nose and my eyes inner corner.
Step 6: I line my lips, blend out any harsh lines, apply a lipstick in the middle of my lips, and finish off with a gloss.
