3. MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Natural! This is the perfect bronzy highlight for the summer! Dust a little on your cheek bones for a flawless finish to any looK! www.maccosmetics.com


4. Wet & Wild Gel Liner in Black! I know, this sounds crazy but this inexpensive little guy rivals Mac Blacktrack fluid line and holds its own! Glides on smooth and has excellent staying powder!


5. MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick with NYX Bloom Lip Liner! I've been getting really brave with my lip colors and venturing away from my usual pale pink and browns and I must say I LOVE IT! This is a fun color combo {what I'm wearing in my profile pic} www.maccosmetics.com and www.nyxcosmetics.com


6. Kandee the Makeup Artist! I simply adore this girl and I've never even met her! I started watching her videos nearly a year ago and let me just say, she is AMAZING. She has a series of Makeup Videos on YouTube and they are a must see! You will love her bubbly personality and learn valuable tips on doing your own makeup! www.youtube.com/user/kande

Beauty Tip Of The Day

For the most even coverage when applying liquid foundation, use a foundation brush like the ones above {the brush on the far left=dip lightly in foundation and buff on in quick circles. the brush on the far right=paint on foundation until ideal coverage is reached}. For Powder foundation use a kabuki style brush {like the one in the middle}. *Money Saving Tip*: Prefer a makeup sponge? Spritz it with water each time before applying f...oundation. This keeps the product from seeping into the sponge and you will waste much less foundation!
