Makeup Hack 💄

Want Lipstick that lasts ALL day?

I learned this hack from Nikki
La Rose and it's a game changer. The secret; powder on bare lips before lipstick. It locks everything in so your color stays put, even through meals.
How I do it:
1. Press a little loose powder onto bare lips using the BK
Beauty x Nikki La Rose N14
Brush.
2. Apply lip liner for definition.
3. Add lipstick (it goes on smooth + stays put).
4. Finish with gloss for shine + plumpness.
Products I used:
BK Beauty, Nikki La Rose
N14 Brush
Jane Iredale, Lip Pencil -
Terra Cotta
Jane Iredale, Colorluxe Lip
Glaze - Flush
Clinique, Pop Shine Lipstick -

How to Wash Your Makeup Brushes (The Right Way!)

🧼 This is the RIGHT WAY to clean your makeup brushes! Dirty brushes = breakouts, streaky makeup, and damaged bristles… we want to avoid that.
Here’s how I do it:
STEP 1: Start with warm water, not hot! Hot water can loosen the glue that holds your brush together. You just want it warm enough to break up makeup.
STEP 2: Wet the bristles only. Always point the brush down so water doesn’t seep into the base. Don’t soak the whole brush, just the fibers!
STEP 3: Take your brush cleanser, liquid or solid, and swirl the brush gently in your palm. You’ll start to see all that product come out. Rinse and repeat until the water runs clear.
STEP 4: Gently squeeze out the extra water, reshape the brush, and lay it flat on a towel to dry. Let it dry completely before standing it up. This helps prevent shedding!

🧽✨ I wash my brushes every 1–2 weeks to keep them soft, fresh, and performing their best. Trust me, your skin and makeup will thank you!

If we’re foundation shade twins, here are my exact matches across 5 popular formulas:

🪞 Haus Labs Triclone: 210
🪞 L’Oréal Skin Inks: 130
🪞 Maybelline SuperStay Skin Tint: 120
🪞 Armani Luminous Silk: 5.75
🪞 ABH Impeccable Blurring: 2N

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

One small blush placement change can make a huge difference
If you’re over 40, try moving your blush slightly back and blending upward instead of placing it on the center of the cheeks. It instantly gives a softer, more lifted look.

This $3 lip liner is so good!
I’m wearing the Cream Glide Lip Liner by @elfcosmetics in the shade Truth or Bare, the perfect everyday neutral. I also love Pinky Swear for a slightly brighter look. They’re creamy, super pigmented, and glide on so smoothly.
I paired it with the Glow Reviver Lip Oil in It’s Giving Guava, and the combo is chef’s kiss.

Does your concealer crack, flake, or dry your under eyes out? This is your sign to try the RMS Revitalize Hydra Concealer.

It’s ultra creamy but somehow weightless, blends beautifully, and doesn’t settle into lines. Plus, it has skincare benefits built into the formula, so it feels like an eye cream, and concealer in one.

I wear shade WN11. It has the perfect peachy tone to correct darkness while still brightening.

Tip: If you’re dry under the eyes, set it with very minimal powder. Just a touch is all you need.

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

If I had to pick ONE eye product for 2025, this is it.
The Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Cream Shadow in Mauve is completely budge-proof, oil-proof, and crease-proof, and the color is the perfect neutral mauve to make blue and green eyes pop.

I apply it straight to the lid and blend with the BK Beauty x Nikki La Rose N16 for the easiest everyday eye look. No powder shadow needed!

✨ Longwear
✨ Zero creasing
✨ Works for every day
✨ So flattering on mature eyes

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

The BK Beauty x Nikki La Rose N20 is so versatile it can give you a soft, diffused wash of color or a bold, full-pigment look. All depending on the pressure you use.

✨ Light application:
Use just the tip for a soft, sheer finish.

✨ More pigment:
Use the side of the brush + more pressure for richer color payoff.

It’s perfect for blush, bronzer, soft contour, setting, and blending. Truly an all-in-one brush.

The BEST blazer for Petites! I love how this elevates jeans and a white tee, but keeps it casual enough to pair with sneakers with the built in hoodie. This is a staple blazer I wear all the time.
