Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Very Fair Light

Mary Kay Translucent Loose Powder

Note: My skin has been a little dry lately and by the end of the night my makeup

was looking a little "tired." It really "aged" the look of my skin. To combat this, I 

used a silicon based foundation primer and then just stuck with my CC Cream which

has more of a tinted moisturizer feel to it. I kept the concealer light and then just dusted

my loose powder on top to set. Everything looked great and lasted all day long. The dewey

look stayed with me until I washed it off to. Very happy with this!

Strobe & Bake Tutorial

Today I thought I'd do a little strobing and baking tutorial. I love this look
and it's very simple. I did add a little contouring just because I love contouring
and I think I look best with a little of it undercutting my cheekbones. Usually
with strobing you skip the bronzer for contouring and stick to blush
and luminizer for shade and light. I used a cool toned bronzer to
contour and then I used a large amount of translucent loose powder
concentrated just below the contour line and left it on their for a few
minutes before brushing off. That's the process of baking. I love this
technique and the result is really pretty. Hope you enjoy!!
Let me know if you try this yourself with the hashtag #natslife on your
social media.
