Tip: Defining Lips

Best way to make lipstick last all day with intense color and definition is to color in your lips with your lip liner and THEN put on your lipstick :) Sometimes you may want to use a slightly lighter concealor around your lips before applying the liner and lip color for an added pop!

4 Steps to Flawless Skin w/o Foundation

Summer isn't exactly makeup friendly. The heat makes us sweat, and often makes skin oily. Adding foundation to this mix isn't always pleasant. I have dry-combination skin, which means my face is mostly dry, but shiny in the T-Zone. I struggled for years finding the right color for my skin tone, and once I did none of the formulas were perfect. Some were too oily, some were too heavy, and some weren't long wearing. Now I have a little hyper pigmentation, acne scars, under eye circles and occasional break outs so my skin is far from flawless BUT that doesn't mean I need a full coverage foundation. I figured out a great way to get good coverage, and an amazing flawless look without a lot of makeup.
First: Prep your skin with moisturizer, and then when it's dry spritz your face with a setting spray and let that dry. I use MAC Mineralize Charged Water or MAC Fix +
Second: Take a buildable coverage concealor like MAC Studio Finish Concealor and apply it with a concealor brush on every spot that you want covered.
Third: With a flat top kabuki brush like the Sigma F80 buff a sheer powder all over your skin like MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. Mineralize Skinfinish really makes this look, it has reflective properties to it which make you glow, but it covers blemishes too. It does rub off so you need to take a big powder brush and go over that with a translucent setting powder such as Make Up Forever HD Setting Powder or MAC Prep and Prime Setting Powder.
Last but not least: Spritz your face with the setting spray you prepped your skin with and let it dry before your bronzer, blush, contour or highlight.
Andddd there you go, perfect skin :) My skin looks so much better now that I stopped using foundation, not only has it stopped breaking out as much but after a 10-12 hour day or a night out I have no creasing or any other nonsense that happens when you wear foundation. This isn't a method just for summer, I am going to keep doing this in the winter too because with a well prepped face you should have no problems!

MAC Peacocky Kissable Lipcolor Review & Swatch: Super

Lip gloss is not my thing. I hate the sticky feeling on my lips, the white residue, and it getting on my hair. I always play up my eyes, and recently I've been wearing lipsticks such as MAC High Tea (frosty nude beige), Faux (matte pale pink), Aristocat (purple with a golden sheen) and High Strung (pink frost paired with MAC Cream Color Base in Tickle Me Pink). I was introduced to MAC Cremesheen Glass Lipgloss which isn't sticky, but it's thick and creamy which is still a no-no for me. I was getting my face done at MAC to change my look up, and one of the products he used on me was Kissable Lipcolor in Super that came out with the Peacocky collection and it was AMAZING. Not only did I really like the neutral color, it LASTED all day, it wasn't sticky, didn't give me a residue, and it didn't get in my hair! I ordered 2 back ups because I'm pretty sure it's limited edition, and will sell out. I definitely found a favorite! I can wear it with almost every look! Here are some pictures!

Out of the 5 or so collections that have come out this season, Kissable Lipcolor lipgloss was the only thing I'd suggest all of you try!
