A couple of things for y'all

Happy Wednesday everyone! We are one day closer to the weekend (thank the lord). GOt a few helpful hints for you today.

1. Always apply your under-eye concealer after you've put your foundation or tinted moisturizer on the rest of your face. You'll be surprised at how much less concealer you'll need. We tend to use too much if we start with the concealer.

2. Lots of fall/winter makeup tends to me more festive- i.e. shimmer and/or glitter. This is perfectly fine and lovely. Just make sure that you stick to ONE area of shimmer/glimmer on your face. If you have a very shimmery eye, make sure that your blush and lip color are not! If there is too much glitter/shimmer, you'll wind up looking like either crazy Aunt Mabel or like you got attacked by a Christmas card.

3. I love a really pretty flushed cheek in the winter. LOVE IT! A great way to achieve this look is to use a cheek stain under your foundation or tinted moisturizer and then a gorgeous pink blush lightly brushed on top. The color will stay true all day and you'll look like a reall outdoorsy type!
