Achieving make up that is heatproof and summer ready boils down to two things: The products you use and the techniques you employ!
- Choose products that are long wearing. Look for keywords on the packaging like: water-proof, long wear, all day, matte, etc. Skip the sheer or luminous formulas as they will have more moisture and move on your skin. (more…)

Ombré lips…they look so great but seem so hard to do, right? Not true! Here’s a super easy way to achieve this trend. This can be done with any colors you want. You’ll need a dark lip liner, and two lipsticks. Make sure the lipsticks contrast: one very light and one deep.

Between contouring, highlighting, and other beauty buzzwords right now it can seem a bit confusing when it comes to cheeks! Pulling out all the stops is fun for special occasions but on a daily basis it’s nice to simplify. Here are 3 products to add to your routine to get that perfectly sculpted cheek everyday!
- To start, you’ll need a matte bronzer, a shimmery highlighting powder, a blush, and an angled brush and a blush brush.
- Start with your angled brush, swirl it into your matte bronzer and apply in a line to the hollows of your cheeks. Sweep it back and forth so it’s blended.
- Dust off your same brush and sweep your highlighting powder on the tops of your cheekbones.
- Take your blush brush and apply your colour starting on the high point of the “apple” of your cheek. Don’t know where the apple of your cheeks are? Just smile! That round higher “cheeky” part that goes up when you smile? That’s the apple! The majority of your blush goes here.
- Now blend your blush back towards your temples. Don’t reload your brush, just use the remainder for this. This will blend everything together!
- Voilá! The perfectly sculpted cheek!
