Friday

Happy Friday everyone! I'm homebound for the next few days due to flooding in my area, but I'm using the time to film some tutorials and more make up fun.

Stay tuned :)

Introduction to Make Up Brushes

                   

I've had a few people request a brush directory of sorts. These are my favorite brushes, I use these everyday. I have many more, but we'll get to those later. These are the essentials. Don't underestimate a good brush! It will make all the difference in how satisfied you are with your make-up, how long your make-up looks good, and how easy it is to apply. 

This is a MAC 266 small angle brush. It's used for eyes and eyebrows. I use mine for my brows. It has a great shape and texture for filling in my sparse excuses for eyebrows. 

This is a MAC 213 fluff brush for eye shadows. I generally use this one for any shadow on my lid itself and for highlight near my eyebrows.  

This is a MAC 219 pencil brush. I use it for smoking out my bottom lid shadow - it works amazing and makes all the difference.

This is a Tarte kabuki brush. It's used for apply powders to the face and I use mine for applying blush. Gives nice full strokes and applies very smooth.

This is an Urban Decay shadow brush. I got this with my Urban Decay Naked Palette. I use this if I need more precise lid shadow.

This is a MAC 168 contour brush. It's great for using powders to define your face.  I use this with my NARS Albatross.

 This is a Sephora crease shadow brush 73. Everyone needs this brush. It drastically changes how your crease shadow looks.

This is a Sonia Kashuk powder brush that I got at least 5 years ago. It's a cheap brush, compared to the MAC, but it's held up so well. Use with any face powder - generally setting powder.

 This is my all time favorite brush. It's a Sephora Pro Buffing Brush 62. It's used with cream, liquid, or mousse foundations. This brush will change your life. It makes foundation application a breeze, and you will look flawless!

This is a MAC 212 flat definer brush. I use it for precise application of under eye shadow and for smoking out my top liner.

Oh Maddie...

You are even cuter than your outfits...

Hair of the Day

It was really humid and rainy today so I went with a rain proof top knot!

Hair of the Day

I loved this look. Just a French braid from one ear to the other, a poofed crown and a low bun. 

I literally did my hair the exact same way for three days haha. Easy, functional, out of the face!
