Three ways to describe my beauty style: Fresh-faced and simple, love to try different looks, total beauty babe—love giving advice to my besties
I wear makeup… To school and when hanging out with friends, but not at home
My best beauty tip: Only take risks that you want to take. If you don't like the look of dark makeup, don't do it just because other people are doing it. If you want to keep it simple, or wanna go au natural, work it! Don't be afraid to be you.

Fave mascara: Maybelline The Flasies Big Eyes, Blackest Black, $8, ulta.com

Fave face color product: Essence Sun Club Matte Bronzing Powder, Blondes/ Lighter Skin 01, $5, ulta.com
Why I love it: I love the color. It’s the perfect dupe for the Benefit Hoola Bronzer, and it is very pigmented without the shimmer. It creates a totally natural look and is great for contouring.

Fave skincare product: Dermalogica Clear Start Kit, $38, ulta.com
Why I love it: This Clear Start kit is PERFECT for teens that have combination skin and a tendency to break out. I’ve been using this for a few months now, and it has made such an improvement on my sin, and leaves it looking healthy and glowing.

Fave tool: Real Techniques Blush Brush, $9, ulta.com
Why I love it: I am in love with this brush. Since it is quite big, I use it as a powder brush, instead of a face brush. It picks up the product so well and distributes it evenly on your face. Oh, did I mention, it's SO SOFT!
