Three ways to describe my beauty style: Classic and glam, Love to try different looks, Total beauty babe

I wear makeup… A full face every day

My best beauty tips: Brushes make all the difference! Invest in some nice brushes for your collection. It will make your makeup look so much more professional. If you don't want to spend loads of money on brushes, E.L.F. sells great brushes for cheap!

Fave lip product: MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Shy Girl

Why I love it: I love this lipstick, because it is totally the perfect everyday nude lip color! I apply this everyday underneath a light, shimmery pink lip-gloss for the perfect hue.

Fave eye product: N.Y.C. Liquid Eyeliner in Black

Why I love it: This is my all-time favorite liquid eyeliner! It beats out any high-end liner out there: It’s super easy to apply, and I love wearing the cat eye look every day for a fun, flirty look.

Fave face coverage product: Clinique Super Moisture in Neutral

Why I love it: Since I have dry skin, I am always looking for a foundation that covers and moisturizes my skin. This foundation provides build-able coverage, which I like, due to my ever-changing acne issues. Ugh.

Fave face color product: NYX Stick Blush in Orchid

Why I love it: This creamy blush comes in a pretty small tube that is perfect for on-the-go! The color is a beautiful coral shade with a subtle shimmer that just totally makes my face glow! I love this blush to pieces.

Fave tool: Sigma Beauty E40- Tapered Blending brush

Why I love it: Every girl needs a great set of makeup brushes. I absolutely love Sigma brushes. My essential tool would have to be my blending brush, though, because it allows me to create the perfectly blended eye shadow look—it’s a noticeable difference!
