My Everyday makeup

Hello again! Thanks for stopping by. Today I'll be sharing my go-to makeup look, step-by-step. Which is what I wear most days. It's a neutral eye, a fresh face, and a touch of color on the lips. You'll see me transform from blah to tah-dah!!  Let's get started!  First, start by prepping your freshly washed face. This is the moisturizer, eye cream, and primer I am currently using. Next I apply concealer. It's best to apply concealer BEFORE powder foundations (we'll get to that in a minute). If you wear liquid, apply your concealer after your foundation using the same technique.

Valentine's Day Nails

Hello again! Happy Valentine's Day to all you love birds. I wanted to share my quick and easy Valentine's nail art with you.  First apply your favorite colors...I chose Essie's Marshmallow & Forever Yummy  Next apply your favorite top coat...I use Out The Door. It dries super fast! (I forgot to mention my base coat! This is my favorite base coat- Bonder by Orly. It's sticky when it dries so it really grabs the polish.   After your top coat dries use a dotting tool (I chose the largest size for mine) and make a heart on your nail. Apply another coat of top coat and you're done!  Hope you enjoyed this and please let me know if you try it.  Happy Valentine's Day!  Love ya, Adela
