How To Clean And Sanitize Makeup Brushes

How To Clean And Sanitize Makeup Brushes – Spring is here and what better time to learn to clean and sanitize your makeup and makeup brushes? I’m what you’d call a little OCD but my husband’s doctor says I don’t like to self-diagnose, so let’s just say I have OCD tendencies. One of them is keeping my makeup and my makeup brushes clean.

Raise your hand if you want bacteria, increased acne/breakouts, risk of infection, herpes or any other virus your makeup may carry.

Makeup Routine For Acne-prone Skin

Makeup Routine For Acne-prone Skin – As a mother of 2 very active children in my late 30s, I don’t always have time to go all glamorous with my makeup. But since my skin is acne-prone, I rely on a daily, full-coverage makeup routine. In this post I will share this routine with you and it will take you MAX 15 minutes once you get it down.

The first thing you always do is take care of your skin. My main routine now is Emme Diane Skincare and it works well for me. At the moment I’m sick and my skin likes to beat me up when that happens. BUT it prompted me to do this tutorial that I should have on my Instagram stories but Instagram deleted it to save to highlights because I talk too much. Obviously, follow whatever skin care routine is best for your skin.

Makeup Mistakes To Avoid

Makeup Mistakes To Avoid – 1. Applying foundation directly to the skin all over your face can cause you to over-apply it and this can look very thick. So instead, pump it onto the back of your hand first, then spread it over your face and blend to make sure you get an even application.

2. Apply foundation right after skin care. Applying your foundation in a swirling motion could cause all your makeup to start peeling off. To avoid this, wait for your skincare to fully absorb into your skin first. Next, apply your liquid foundation and press the foundation into your skin, tapping lightly to prevent your skin care products from moving. This will ensure that your foundation does not peel off.

10 Essential Makeup Products For Beginners

10 Essential Makeup Products For Beginners – Hi friends! I love sharing all my favorite beauty tips and finds, but today I want to go back to basics and share with you the 10 essential makeup essentials you should have in your makeup bag. Makeup shopping can be overwhelming and we all have a drawer full of things we never use that clutter up our bathroom. I like to call it the makeup graveyard. The problem is this: You walk into Sephora, or Ulta, or even a drugstore, without a plan. You browse around and buy things you’re visually attracted to, like that beautiful eyeshadow palette or sparkly pink blush. Even if they’re beautiful in the store, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll help you.

Likewise, you’ll rarely find anyone swooning over a tube of concealer, but it’s one of the most important products in a woman’s makeup bag that will … Read the rest

Makeup Artist Secrets Revealed

Considering the amount of time celebrities spend in the makeup chair with wands, brushes, and sponges whirling around their faces, it’s natural that they would absorb a great deal of beauty intel from the artists they hire. In fact, for many celebrity and makeup artist relationships, the bond is more than a professional contract. These close collaborators are often good friends off set, too. This is simply the nature of the industry. Artists are not tight-lipped about their process, but generously share what they find to be the best. By trading, … Read the rest

5-minute Makeup Routine For Busy Mornings

5-minute Makeup Routine For Busy Mornings – I have 3 kids to juggle in the morning so I never have more than 5 minutes to do my makeup.  I have my routine down so thought I’d share it with you busy moms.  Many of you wonder how I have time to put on makeup and juggle the kids, but the truth is that I can do all this very quickly and touch all the important areas.  Most of the time I end up applying half in the car at traffic lights; you gotta do what you gotta do!

The first step to looking refreshed and good is to have an even skin tone.  For this, I use my favorite Estee Lauder foundation.  This is a full coverage foundation that literally erases the things you need to cover on your face.  The little brush I use is my favorite and well … Read the rest
