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.
For all my gals trying to make healthy swaps with their everyday products:

I found myself spending $60-$90 every month on getting my nails done. as a girl who’s on a debt payoff journey, I decided to cut that expense out and start doing my nails at home. these are the products that I found to be the most long lasting and relatively inexpensive without needing a UV lamp or using gel (which can be very damaging to your nails). typically my at home nail manicure will last a week and then will start SLIGHTLY chipping but that’s usually very unnoticeable. i found the best color for a natural look is the Sheer Fantasy and slight chips with this color are easy to miss💅🏼💗
