Prime Time

Lets talk about primers. One of the key steps to my makeup routine. Using a primer before you apply foundation will help the foundation go on seamlessly, even and will keep your foundation staying put for a flawless look. 

Primers for oily skin will help control your natural oils throughout the day, keeping your foundation matte with limited touch up. 

Primers for pores will always help make the appearance of them smaller, leaving your skin looking flawless and smooth with less imperfections. 

Eye shadow primers are perfect for eye makeup looks that will last you till the am. looking the eye shadows into place, keeping the pigments vibrant without creasing. I trust eye shadow primers every time I apply eye shadow, day or night. 

These are my favorite primers at the moment! Check them out!

                     

Surfer Chic

Surfs Up 

I'm not talking about your dads tacky Hawaiian shirt he puts on every vacation, but the chic tropical prints that have made a total comeback. Nothing beats a mix of Hawaiian and California style with a sun kissed glow in the summer. 

This style is perfect for weekend BBQs, pool parties and beach days were the sangria is flowin' 

Be inspired by the care free, laid back look. Mix and match patterns and go for anything bright! Its a nice twist on the common flower print and will definitely turn heads this summer. 

Ombré Nails

Nailed It.

Nail Art has exploded, people are getting more and more creative with their nails. Prints, patterns and accent nails are a huge trend.  This simple ombré nail is super easy to recreate and unique to any colours you choose! 

First Step:
Choose the colours you want to use. If using light pastel colours like myself, then I suggest using a light white or cream colour first so the pastels pop. I used "Vanity Fair" by Essie as a base. 

Apply base coat, then a light colour before you begin.

Feeling Blue 

Cobalt blue has become a huge trend for the spring and summer. Something about the colour attracts my eyes and I cant help but want it. This colour is a pop of classic chic. A non-neon but bright and edgy.

Don't want to stand out with a blue dress, choose a cobalt blue nail polish instead. Butler Please is the nail polish by Essie below. 

Pair a cobalt blue top with white jeans and a leather jacket for a complete chic look!
