Well, it’s been a hot minute since we’ve chatted about makeup on this blog. To be honest, it has taken me a while to feel comfortable with a camera this close to my face again. My skin completely freaked out this past fall, leaving me with the worst acne of my life. As much as I tried to avoid letting this superficial burden take control of my life, there were still moments that it got the best of me. I mean, about six months ago, it was difficult for me to feel confident enough to leave my apartment, let alone pose for a camera. Anyways – that’s not the topic of this post. I just wanted to be open about that since the images on my blog never, ever capture the whole story. I’ll do a separate post about my skin if anyone feels inclined to read it, but for now let’s move on to the fun stuff. . .my makeup routine!
My makeup arsenal:
Highlighting Base / Kevyn Aucoin
Tinted Foundation Oil / Kosas
Shape Tape Concealer / tarte
Hoola Bronzer / Benefit
Coral Blush / Wet & Wild
KUSH Fiber Brow Gel / MILK Makeup
Mascara /Loreal Paris
Lip Gloss / milani
Voilà – that’s it! It’s important to me that I feel myself in makeup, so I only chose products that let my skin breathe. After a few months battling my skin, I’ve learned I feel best when I accept my skin as-is rather than trying to cover it with a mask of makeup.
