A few of my favorite things..

I'm really loving this Laura Mercier Concealer, it has a orange/red tone and a yellow/green tone. Use the warm color for underneath the eyes to counter the dark circles and to over all brighten then use the cooler/ashy tone on the eye lid to brighten the discoloration on the lid and prime for eye shadow. You can also use it to counteract blemishes and/or redness. Always powder with at least a translucent powder to set in place.

I can't find this on the MAC site and I must have gotten it at a Pro shop so that may be why but I absolutely love this brush. The angle on it is perfect for the crease and blended without it looking like an actual line. The bristles are close together ensuring your color goes on nice, smooth and pigmented. Love love.

For most, filling in the brows is super important. If the eyes are the window to your soul well our brows are the frames. It gives that extra punch and draws attention to your eyes. Now, we don't however want the attention to be on the brows, meaning no harsh penciled on lines & nothing too dark. This little brush does the trick. Before I had this little guy I would just use a regular disposable mascara wand, though there are two things wrong with that, 1) the average person doesn't go out and have disposable mascara wands and 2) disposable = not so good for the environment.
I use this a few times over the brows to break up any harsh lines and to blend the color et volia!

This particular cheek color works so incredibly well on so many different skin tones. I would stretch to say all, but everyone has there preferences whether they like cool or warmer tones. I love this especially for weddings because it's so neutral and warm and gives a beautiful glow!

Oh yeah and I do hair!
I am always looking for quick fixes for frizz. Whether on set needin to run in quickly for last looks, or on a photo shoot to ensure frizz wont be a distraction, and even on myself for everyday nobody wants to see the frizz. I recently started using Redken's Outshine and I am totally loving it. It is so light weight and doesn't get heavy or oily on the hair but gets rid of frizz and gives a light shine. Now I'm addicted! Check out the link above to search for a location near you that sells Redken!
