As a makeup artist with dry skin, here’s my honest test of the NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation.

Matte foundation on dry skin sounds risky… but the NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation surprised me 👀

As someone with dry skin, prep is everything. A good moisturizer + thin layers makes all the difference.

So far it’s giving a smooth, skin-like matte finish without looking flat or heavy.

Have you tried this one yet?

4 shades of Makeup Forever Artist Liquid Color (lip + cheek)

I tried 4 shades of the Makeup Forever Artist Liquid Color a matte liquid formula made for lips AND cheeks.

These are super pigmented but still blend beautifully, so you can go soft and natural or build the color.

Shades I tested:
808 Boundless Berry – deep berry
606 Wherever Walnut – warm rose nude
240 Rose Now & Always – coral rose
600 Anywhere Caffeine – warm caramel nude

I love products that simplify your routine, especially when they work for multiple areas of the face.

Which shade is your favorite?

If you’re tired of mascara smudging under your eyes… try a tubing formula. I’ve been loving this Seacret Tubing Mascara lately, no flaking, no mascara fallout under my eyes (finally 🙌) and it stays put all day. Linking it here. 🖤

GRWM for an event my girl Care invited me to 💘🐆

Wearing my @caretucker leopard zip slip, patent leather wedges, and a little vintage fur moment, and truly… I never get over how good this dress is.

I love slips dresses, but let’s be honest… some are tricky.
Too low-cut.
No adjustable straps.
Thin fabric that shows everything. 😩

This one? PERFECTION.
✔ Adjustable straps
✔ Super flattering neckline
✔ Fabric that smooths + hugs in the best way
✔ Designed for comfort and chic vibes
✔️ Slit that ca zip up or all the way down

I’ve worn my Care Tucker zip slips so many different ways because they’re made to actually work for real bodies and real life. Comfortable, stylish, and confidence-boosting every time.

Obsessed is an understatement. 🖤

One thing I truly love seeing in the beauty industry is how makeup brands are infusing skincare-loving ingredients into their formulas, so we’re not just covering… we’re caring.

The new Too Faced Born This Way Super Glow is giving glow + skin-first energy. It’s that radiant, lit-from-within finish we all want, but with ingredients designed to support your skin while you wear it.

Because the goal isn’t just flawless makeup , it’s healthy, glowing skin underneath it too. ✨

Makeup that actually loves your skin? Yes please. 🤍

One thing I truly appreciate as a licensed esthetician and makeup artist is how more brands are infusing skincare ingredients into complexion products. We’re no longer choosing between coverage and care, we can have both.

Today’s skin-first glam ✨

• Concealer + brightening: Kosas Revealer Concealer + Extra Bright Corrector (hydrating, smoothing, and never cakey)
• Base: PÜR Skin Tint — lightweight, breathable, feels like skincare
• Set: PÜR Pressed Mineral Powder in Linen
• Cream bronze: PÜR Bronzer Stick in Bronze Babe
• Powder bronze: Armani Beauty
• Blush: PÜR
• Lips: Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in Anywhere Caffeine + Armani Lipstick

The goal isn’t to mask your skin, it’s to enhance it while supporting it. When your base products contain skin-loving ingredients, you get glow, longevity, and improvement over time.

Healthy skin + beautiful makeup = the real flex.

Save this for your next complexion refresh 🤎

Your simple, no-stress skincare → makeup prep routine 💕
(aka: hydrate, smooth, seal, protect, prep lips)

My order of operations:

1️⃣ Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum – lightweight hydration + glow
2️⃣ PÜR Cloud Cream – lock in moisture
3️⃣ PÜR Mellow Eyes Eye Patches – depuff + smooth under-eyes
4️⃣ Sunscreen (AM only) – I skipped since this is evening makeup
5️⃣ Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream – rich moisturizer + beautiful makeup primer
6️⃣ Too Faced Kissing Jelly Lip Mask – soft, juicy lips before color

Easy way to remember:
✨ Serum → Cream → Eyes → SPF → Prime → Lips

Prepping your skin the right way = smoother foundation, better blend, and longer-lasting makeup. Save this for your next glam session 💄💫

Birthday kiss energy 💋✨

Trying on the Too Faced Kissing Jelly Lip Mask + Kissing Jelly Lip Gloss in Birthday Kiss and I’m officially obsessed.

The mask feels plush, hydrating, and smoothing (perfect as a prep step or overnight lip treatment), and the gloss gives that juicy, glassy shine without feeling sticky. Together = soft, pillowy lips with a subtle sweet tint and shine.

If you love comfy lip products that make your lips look instantly healthier, these are a must. 💖

My favorite suit to dress up, and also wear with sneakers on a day like today. Put as a girly girl, i always love an excuse to dress up.

Skin prep from @PUR Cosmetics on Jen Lilley for MovieGuide Awards.

It’s all about getting the skin hydrated glowy and bouncy.

For those who loved Part 1 and want a little more impact ✨

Here I’m using shade 395 from the Chanel Les Beiges Tan Bronzer range. It’s deeper and gives more structure, but the formula is still soft, buildable, and forgiving, perfect if you’re ready to move past ultra-sheer bronzing.

Remember: brush size controls intensity. A large buffing brush keeps deeper shades wearable, blended, and never muddy.

Valentine’s Day outfit inspo ♥️❤️
Red always feels right this time of year. It’s a power color, it’s romantic, and it instantly sets the mood. This Bordeaux dress gives all the wine-red, sexy date-night vibes. 🍷💃 love all of these @caretucker pieces.

If contouring feels intimidating, this is your sign to keep it simple.
I’m using the Chanel Les Beiges Tan Bronzer with a large, dense buffing brush to make contouring easy, soft, and totally stress-free.

✨ The key is the brush size:
• Too small = harder to blend, takes longer
• Bigger + dense = faster blending, softer bronze, zero harsh lines

The formula is sheer, buildable, and beginner-friendly and it comes in three shades, so you can choose what works best for your skin tone. Soft bronze > scary contour every time

Loving this lighting setup for filming beauty content in my home studio ✨ One light is powerful enough for close-up videos and detailed beauty shots, but using both gives the perfect coverage and balance. Easy setup, quick breakdown, and consistently flattering light every time.

My forever everything bag 💙
The MAXI Quilted Denim Tote (blue) from Care Tucker is my go-to weekender + everyday tote—I seriously use it nonstop.

Lightweight but heavy-duty (she holds everything), gets better with wear like your favorite jeans, and somehow still looks luxe. I love that it can be worn wide or with the sides closed, has a detachable metal chain toggle, and comes with a removable zip pouch for all the little things. Plus the back embroidery “It’s Cool To Care” 🫶🏼 obsessed.

If you want a chic upgrade from basic totes that works for travel, errands, and busy days on the go… this is it.

Pairing one of my go-to Charlotte Tilbury nude lip liners with spike Valentino lipstick for a neutral/ nude lip. This one has a nice warm hue without looking too warm.

Gave myself a blowout using the Unite 7Seconds Anti-frizz leave-in thermo mist and my hair has not gone frizzy.

Mist 7SECONDS Anti-Frizz Leave-In Thermo Mist on damp hair and gently comb through to evenly distribute to ends. For straight and wavy hair, blow dry with heat to activate. For curls, scrunch and diffuse with heat to activate.

Not your average poplin shirt. I love this Care Tucker Poplin in black because i can wear it to work, a business event or even to go out. Here i tied it up for a cropped look and paired it with Commando Faux leather leggings and boots for a night out. I love the adjustable strings, you could tie them into a bow for feminine charm or leave them untied for a classic blouse silhouette. Whether you're dressing up for the office or keeping it polished for weekend plans, this statement-making shirt adapts to your lifestyle. I especially love the cold buttons which gives it a more elevated vibe. Pair it with gold accessories.

Using the Tattoo Studio waterproof eyeliner pencil + Sky High mascara in green from Maybelline and I’m obsessed. Smooth glide, bold pigment, and stays put up to 36 hours 🙌 Smudge-, fade- & water-resistant—perfect for all-day wear.
Love that they created multiple liner + mascara shades designed to compliment different eye colors ✨

Beauty tip: Don’t forget to apply a touch of bronzer along your part. My scalp always looks so much paler than my face, especially after foundation and bronzer, so adding a little there helps everything look even and cohesive for a more seamless blend.

Makeup and bronzer tip.
