My Everyday "Natural Glow" Make-up




Lately, I have been addicting to achieving a "natural glowy look" on an everyday bases and I finally found the perfect routine. I wish that I had a camera to record this video, I really want to start making clear videos for you guys but until then, I hope pictures will do... anyways I finally found the perfect products to achieve a natural glow in the winter.

First, after cleansing  and moisurizing my face with the Boscia Tsubaki beauty products  I apply Smashbox Photofinish primer all over, then in my "highlighting" areas( Under eyes, bridge of nose and between eyebrows) I apply the Laura Mercier Radiance primer( use as little as possible).
Once, I apply my primer(s) I then fill in my eyebrows with the Anastasia Brow Wiz in Brunette and clean them(conceal) with the Nars Radiance concealer in Caramel.
Then, I line my eyes with the Marc Jacobs "Highliner" in Blacquer followed by apply the Kat Von D tattoo liner on my top lashes and apply my mascara (which ranges). I then pop a champagne colored eye shadow in my tear ducts and pull the shadow to the middle of my under eye to brighten my eyes.
After my eyes area finished, I apply my Nars radiance concealer in the same spots I applied the Laura Mercier primer and apply my YSL Touche Eclat Beige 70 foundation or Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in Golden and blend with my beauty blender.
Once blended, I dab my MAC Studio Fix concealer( pot) in NC42 under my eye, just to brighten it up a little more.
Lastly, I set my makeup with the MAC Skinfinish in Medium Dark and apply my bronzer which ranges between MAC Blunt and Too Faced Chocolate Solei, followed by either Nars Orgasm blush or the most recent Rihanna for MAC blush.

I tend to do nude lips on my chill days, but adding a pop of color is always a fun way to add some flair.
In the pic, I have on MAC Sensual Sparks and Marc Jacobs Sweet Escapes lip lauqer
I promise you guys, I will soon get a legit camera and have videos ready for you all because you deserve to WATCH and not READ!.

2014 Beauty Trend- Beauty Oils!


2014 is the year of skincare and a major skincare trend are beauty oils. Now I know what your thinking, oil? that's going to make me look a like grease ball...or oil will clog my poors...which were both my thoughts but working at Sephora and receiving proper education on these wonderful treasures, oils in fact help with control that greasy look because" Oil fights Oil". Oil's  actually help your skin, not hurt it and these days every brand is making a beauty oil. If you go to your local Sephora or just take a look at the oil guide I posted, you can get the full tea on the benefits and which oils fit your skin type.

From needing to hydration, to anti-aging to just wanting a healthy, natural glow there is an oil for it all. My personal favorite for:
Getting the healthy glow- Fresh Seaberry Moisturizing Face Oil
Anti-Aging- Ole Henrikson Truth Youth Activating Oil( also gives a nice glow)
Oil Control and Hydration- Boscia Tsubaki Beauty Oil

I have tried majority of these oils( I have normal to oily skin) and I personally love the Ole Henrikson and Boscia oils.

Also, you can use cleaning oils such as the NUDE cleansing oil to remove stubborn make-up that doesn't come off when using a make-up remover wipe.

Hope you stay oiled up! Comment your favorite beauty oil and follow me on Instagram: @cosmomars
