Before we get to the good part, makeup should be replaced regularly.  No matter the brand, expired makeup products can harbor bacteria.  Plus the molecular & chemical structure of the makeup changes.  Any combination of these can cause dermatitis which can then cause redness, rashes, skin irritation, infections, and even pink eye.

Here's a guide for reference.


Full Face Look

Here is what is trending in makeup. Erin demo's how to use the vegan Brow Pomade, clean Mineral Foundation, and Organic Mascara - all in a monochromatic palette.



What new trick did you pick up?

With minerals the key is blend, blend, blend! Use setting spray or a facial mist, it sets the minerals in place & can help if you are feeling dry.




Erin also mentioned the liquid concealer.

Tip:  Apply Concealer after applying foundation.  Exception is green.


Needing a little extra help in the eye area, listen in to this video from a few years back to brighten the eyes and reduce puffiness.

Contour

𝙆𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 𝙜𝙡𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙤 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙨.


Apply a bronzer all over your face, neck, and onto your chest 
gives the skin a subtle glow as a base so the contrasting darker bronzer you're about to apply won't look as harsh against your skin.


Use a darker bronzer and buff onto your forehead 
Use a stippling brush (tightly packed, short-tipped brush that's commonly used for blending) and apply your darker shade of bronzer to your forehead near your hairline.
Applying bronzer to your face can be a little intimidating because, well, it's your face. But if you keep the product concentrated right below your cheekbones, under your jawline, and on the sides of your forehand — and then a thin layer over the rest of your face — you'll create a subtly contoured effect that won't look like you just slapped a bunch of tanner on.



Contour your cheekbones.
~ Using a flat-tipped, tightly packed contouring brush, apply a swipe of the same dark bronzer directly under your cheekbones.
~ You can suck in your cheeks to find exactly where to put it. Use a powder brush to bronze along your cheekbones, temple, and forehead. You’re going for all the places the sun normally hits!


Blend baby blend. 
The key to looking natural is to blend in small circles with your fingertips to avoid streaks and harsh lines. You want it to fade from one area to another.


Less is more. Know when to quit.


Use a tiny bit of excess on the sides and tip of your nose.

Blush

Check out this makeup hack for creamy blush plus a tip on blush for those over 30.



Tips for mineral blush:

  • Apply to middle of cheek, behind the apple
  • Top Pick is Marsala (start light & add to build color)
  • 2nd Pick is Rose Shimmer
  • Hibiscus can pull out redness & orange so use with caution if those are of concern.

Tips for bronzer:

  • Use foundation brush
  • Apply a light layer, no thick blending out
  • Apply down onto décolleté
  • Top Pick is Caramel Matte 




Baked Eyeshadow Palette Trio

Quick, Easy, Foolproof Eyeshadow Technique with Joy



Here's an extra tip when using any of the baked eyeshadow palettes.
For the wet look, either:
a) Spritz brush bristles with set & refresh spray, then dip in palette
b) get brush bristles wet, dab on cloth, then dip in palette
       

Brows

Sculpt, shade, & define the perfect brow.
Prime example of do as I say not as I do 🤣 when you just don’t want to re-record the video you go with it!

Tip put your foundation on before doing your brows.



Our eyes don't lie: they're windows to the soul
They show the truth, no matter what face we put on, in any situation.

Mascara


Enhance your lashes with intense length and buildable volume!
Lash maximizing brush lifts, separates, and coats every last for a bold look. This brush has different-sized bristles just like your lashes, so it is sure to not miss a lash.
Formulated with organic chamomile, carnauba wax, and sunflower oil to strengthen, thicken, and moisturize lashes. Apply a generous amount from base to tip for definition and lift.
