I have high standards, especially for anything that I buy & use because I’m high maintenance (and proud of it)! I rarely buy anything without reading reviews first, and I always thoroughly test a product before I make any recommendations to anyone else.
I worked as a Freelance Makeup Artist for several years, and with that comes a lot of experience & finding the best makeup for every day, film and photography! With that being said, many of the products I’m sharing I have been using for years and/or have been repurchased on the reg.
Did you know the camera reduces your makeup by nearly 40% ?
That is one of the best tips I share, as you really have to compensate for that when you are doing your makeup for a special occasion. So, if you are looking washed out in your photos/videos, get a little heavier handed girl!
I’m sharing my collection of Cult Classics, with descriptions below, that you can count on to look & feel your best ✨
At the time of writing this, the Sephora Spring Savings Event is going on 4/1 – 4/11. Up to 20% off. If you are reading this outside of that time, mark your calendar for next year!
