My philosophy for makeup is to make it look timeless and as natural as possible. I travel a lot for work and need my makeup to last more than 12 hours when I have a long workday and look great in pictures(flash photography approved). These products are always in rotation whether I am doing a glam look or a no-makeup makeup look. I always start off with a moisturized base (let it sit for 5-10 minutes)(check out my skincare list for products), apply thin layers of creams and powders, and apply the setting spray in between creams and powders.
Favorites that help me juggle work and motherhood without losing my mind.
