I probably still won't wear makeup, but it's interesting to hear your thoughts on it!

I recently (after my wedding) threw out all of my makeup. The only things I kept was one mascara, one concealer, and lip balm. My husband and I discussed it, and we decided that it would be cheaper and easier if I get professional makeup done for special events that require it the once or twice a year that it'll come up, than for me to maintain a makeup collection that I'll almost never actually use 😅

That makes sense to me!! Makeup definitely isn't for everyone, so I get it :)

Yes Charlotte Tilbury Vanish! I tried it out thinking it would be like every other concealer but it is not.

Love this! The only makeup I feel comfortable using is mascara; I love how it brightens up my blue eyes. I may try using an eyelash curler, since I recently noticed how uneven my lashes look. 😂 The eyebrow and lip tips are good ideas, so I may try those as well. Thanks for the post!

If you get the right one, it totally does! I’ve tried meh ones, but the Lancôme white one is amazing. Less is more, and you can get the mini to try out before you splurge! I have long lashes naturally, but it’s really next level!

I love talking about this! I take such great joy in doing makeup as artistic expression, and I do bride’s makeup for free. I feel like it’s a gift God gave me to help pamper my friends and make them feel beautiful. For me personally, lash primer was a game changer for me. I love the Lancôme one, and a mini lasts a long time. Keeping my eye makeup light but using a primer keeps the focus on my lashes.

My skin tone can tend to be a little sallow, and cream blush just changes the entire look of my face! That and eyebrows are integral parts of my routine 💕

Do you really find lash primer makes a difference? Should I try one? 😂
