My #1 makeup product is under eye concealer. I am always on the hunt for the most innovative and powerful brands. IT Cosmetics has impressed me with their Bye Bye Under Eye. It is a full coverage, waterproof, concealer with Hydro-collagen, vitamin c and k. This product is thick but it does not feel heavy. So cover up those bags, it’s no one’s business what , or who you were doing last night 😉

You need to know about an amazing Organic Suncare company. It is called Coola. Coola is all natural, organic, and provides maximum coverage with minimum residue. My favorite Coola product is the SPF 30 Mineral Face- Cucumber Matte Sunblock. This products gives you necessary protection, with out making you look greasy or clogging your pores. It’s matt finish also makes it perfect to use as a primer under your makeup. You need to protect your skin from the sun, do it the chemical free, natural way. So get Naked, but use protection ;)……….

I love Scott Barnes and all he creates. If you’re not familiar with this celebrity makeup artist, now is a good time to start. His books amazes me & and his products perfect me. One of my favorite tools is the Scott Barnes Cheek Brush. It is my go to blush brush. It picks up just the rights amount of blush, which many brushes fail to do. It is angled for perfect application. It does not shed, and most importantly it is the softest makeup brush I have ever felt!!!! Every time I put it to my face I feel pampered. Now your boyfriend can pay attention to your other cheeks……..

I love my black eyeliner. I’ve perfected how I apply it, but after a few hours perfection was fading. That inner corner part just wouldn’t stay bold. Then I discovered Physicians Formula Eye Definer Felt Tip Eye Marker. It can be used along your entire lash line, but I stick to my tools mentioned in previous posts and use this perfectly precise stick to do the corners. It works just like a felt tip pen. Gliding easily, not tugging at your eyes, and has major staying power. So try this tip, it will leave you wanting more…..

I am a lip gloss whore and a lipstick virgin. Or I should say, I was! I stayed away from lipstick because I hated the heaviness, the stain, and the dryness. I have envied women displaying kiss me red lips, but could never find the right color, or the energy to deal with it. Until I found Rimmel’s Moisture Renew lipstick in Red Alert. This stick is not like any other I’ve tried. It feels like a gloss, smooth and creamy. It’s made with ingredients like vitamin A, C & E, anti-oxidants, and has 3 Super moisturizers – Collagen, Polypeptides & Hyaluronic Acid. This leads to soft, shiny, healthy lips. It’s also spf 20. So rock red on your lips, and leave a mark on your man…..

So is my absolute favorite concealer to all other concealers. Cle de Peau Concealer is not cheap. It will run you around $70. But, if you’re looking for the ultimate in concealer, especially when it comes to that hard to cover under eye area, this is the one. I prefer to warm it up with my fingers before applying to the eye area. If I want to go the extra mile I find layering Cle de Peau under lancome Effacernes waterproof under eye concealer equals perfection. Now that you’ve covered up those bags under your eyes  from partying all night, please do something about the stench of alcohol leaking out of your pores!

..when it comes to pores, duh. So I use Clinique’s Pore Minimizer instant perfector. This light weight cream minimizes the appearance of pores, eliminates oil, and gives a silky soft surface to decorate with your fave makeup. A little goes a long way. I’ve had one tube for over a year. When your pores minimize, the guys maximize!

I am an organization freak. I love everything to be in order, clean , neat, tidy, and perfect. This is one of the Many reasons I love my Cat Cosmetics Six Kitten. Cat Cosmetics is a fun, high quality, brand. A uniquely wonderful thing about her products is that you can create your own pallets to contain your faves. I use there already selected pallet ,the Six Kitten. It comes with a double ended makeup applicator and large mirror. My favorite of the six is a three-way tie between the cat & mouse lip gloss, whiskers blush, and Eartha Cat eye shadow duo. Check out this brand and try it yourself and become a perrrrrfect little sex kitten…..

Makeup Forever has come out with a line called HD . It was created to give the look of perfection  at all times, even under the unforgiving lights and lens of an hd camera. I am a fan of a lot of their products. One in particular I use all the time is their HD Powder. What ever mineral makeup you use, I recommend you use this as your powder to set it. I use it over both liquid and powder foundations. Not only does it set your makeup, it also controls oil and leaves a perfectly natural matte look. My favorite thing about this product is the feel of it. It’s amazingly silky and soft. So fool everyone into thinking you have perfect skin, with nothing but the radio on 😉

I am never without my lip gloss. I  love it for the shine, and color pop, it adds to my face. Even more, I love the feeling of silky smooth lips. At the moment I’m really enjoying my Sue Devitt lip enhancing gloss in Bermuda Triangle. The color is very subtle, and the shine is perfect. It’s not thick and gooey like some other popular brands. I don’t notice it making my lips any plumper then usual, but I have big lips so it’s not that easy to tell. All Sue Devitt products are filled with healthy, natural, skin care ingredients. So don’t feel bad if your gloss gets all over a certain someone’s body 😉
