Photo Friendly Holiday Party Makeup!

 Hi My Loves!!!

Today's tutorial is a photo friendly holiday makeup tutorial. This is actually the makeup I wore for our Christmas pictures this year. Everything photographs so nicely, especially the foundation. I was inspired by a makeup look I saw on Brooke Burke. It just screamed "Christmas" so I thought I would try a similar version on myself for our pictures and I loved the way it turned out. 

WATCH THE TUTORIAL HERE: 
Links and all products used are in the description box of this video :)


These pictures are all with flash and you can see how beautifully this foundation photographs, so it's perfect for your holiday pictures or going to Christmas work parties etc :) Somehow the makeup blurs out your imperfections with the flash. It just makes the skin look amazing. It gives a nice glow to the skin without feeling dewy or greasy. 








Here's the picture that inspired this look ;) 

Here's another picture I snapped with my regular vlog camera in the dark hallway with flash. Excuse my expression but you can tell how beautifully it photographs even in cruddy lighting ;) 


Thanks for reading/watching!

How To Wear Sparkles for the Holidays!

I've had a lot of people requesting for me to do a video showing how to wear glitter. So I figured since it's  the holiday season, this was the perfect time to do it. 

Whether you are looking for something festive for holiday pictures, holiday parties or just being festive, this looks beautiful on anyone ;) You can basically just change up the lid base color and then apply the sparkles over. I've done this with pink, blue, purple, white and grey underneath and every time it looks super luscious. 

If you want to be super festive just wear some red lipstick and BAM..... HOLIDAY here I come!

I hope everyone's Christmas Shopping is going well, I havent even started :( POOP!!!!
