I've tried sprays, sticks, oils etc and nothing is better at taming flyaways than this!

Moral of the story: all makeup is optional and it never hurts to try new things

Maybe you'll discover a new look you love--maybe you won't

But every time you try, you learn something new about what looks good on you!!

Try to look at experimenting as something that helps you rather than something to avoid

A lot of foundations look like foundation--but if you want a more nautral 'your skin but better' vibe, these products make it easy!

Getting cream bronzer to look smooth and natural all comes down to technique, so hopefully this tutorial helps!

Building up the amount of product you need is how pros do this--putting all of the product on your face at one time and blending like crazy is how the beauty influencers do it (shade intended lol)

Here are the products I’m using:
Too Faced Melting Bronzing Stick in Chocolate Mousse
BK Beauty N17 Brush

I run this R&Co texture balm through each section of hair and it smoothes out frizz and defines the shape so well!

There are SOME sunscreens that pill...but many brands are aware of this now and formulate their products to avoid this issue, so we have to address application.

It's hard to sit and wait for our sunscreen to dry down...so don't! Get up and do something else lol

What I’m using:
EltaMD Red Color Correcting Sunscreen

Cerave Invisible Mineral SPF 50
