I always receive so many questions about my everyday makeup routine! Some days, my eye makeup is a little more dramatic, while other days, I only put on some mascara.  Here is a list of some of my fave beauty products {and they’re listed in order of when I use them}.

  1. Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer: apply with hands to a clean face
  2. MAC Studio Fix Foundation or Revlon Colorstay Foundation: apply with this tarte bamboo brush
  3. MAC Studio Fix Powder: apply to face to set the foundation, and it’s applied with this BareMinerals Brush
  4. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer: apply to eyelids
  5. MAC Paint Pot in ‘Soft Ochre‘: apply to eyelids on top of the urban decay primer.  I sometimes wear this alone {typically when I go to the gym or for an everyday look, this is the only thing that’s on my eyelids and I’ll just throw on mascara after}.
  6. MAC Eyeshadow Warm Neutral Palette: if eye shadow is wanted — I apply dark color to the outer corners and a lighter color on the lid.  A trick of mine is to use scotch tape on the corner of your eyes to get a crisp line!
  7. Stila Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner: the wing is a practiced motion! I swear! Keep practicing until it becomes second nature ha!
  8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Base One Pro Pencil in ‘Base 1’: I put this in my waterline on the bottom lid.  It makes your eyes pop and look wider! This can also be used as concealer too!
  9. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in ‘Dark Brown’: applied with this duo brow brush
  10. Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer in ‘Neutralizer’: I apply this under my eyes, down the bridge of my nose, my forehead, and my chin with a damp beauty blender, and typically for an ‘everyday’ look, this is all I use.  For a more intense makeup look, I’ll add this Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Enhancer in ’03’ on top of the age rewind concealer {applied with this tarte concealer brush and buffed out with a damp beauty blender}
  11. Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder: set highlight with this powder using a damp beauty blender
  12. Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder in ‘Natural’: apply with this Nars Ita Kabuki brush to contour cheek bones and nose.
  13. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer in ‘Radiant Bronze Light’: apply with this brush over contoured cheeks, around the face {neckline and forehead} for a sun-kissed glow.  It helps blend the contour and makes you look more ‘bronze-y’.
  14. MAC Powder Blush in ‘Pinch-O-Peach’: apply with this brush on cheeks
  15. Urban Decay Subversion Lash Primer: apply to top and bottom eyelashes
  16. Benefit They’re Real Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara: apply over the primed eyelashes — I like to apply this when my eyelashes are still wet from the primer!
  17. theBalm Mary Lou Manizer: apply to the top of the cheekbones, tip of nose, and cupid’s bow of upper lip with this fan brush
  18. Urban Decay De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray: spritz whole face and wait until dry
  19. My fave neutral lip is NARS lip gloss in color ‘Turkish Delight’

Hope y’all enjoyed this, and let me know in the comments below if you have any questions!

10/27/18 Mr. & Mrs. White

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.
