I don’t mean to bag on makeup artists or models at all, and I have friends in both industries whose work I highly respect.

Facial imperfections are removed, thighs are slimmed down, the skin is lightened, noses are minimized, bust lines are raised, eyes are repositioned, etc etc. And by impossible, I mean the fact that even when celebrities and models have gone through hours and hours of makeup application, their pictures still have to be extensive edited before they’re approved for publication. We are constantly bombarded with messages that entice us towards a standard of perfection that is not only unnatural, but frankly impossible. For a portrait to stand the test of time and remain impactful, it has to maintain a high degree of authenticity.Īnd so when I look at virtually every single piece of fashion and commercial advertising out there, I am simultaneously intrigued and troubled by the extensive use of makeup, photoshop, and ridiculously beautiful models. My clients hire me because they want to look attractive, beautiful, lively … but still themselves. I find good lighting, shoot from their more flattering angles, draw out their personality, and in Photoshop, I will edit the image to bring my vision to life. It’s highly pigmented with major staying power! And, I applied the Deluxe Love Flush Blush in Justify My Love to give my cheeks a nice pink flush.As a photographer, I always strive to create art that shows my clients at their very best. You can give it as one present or give each pair separately (great for stocking stuffers, coworker gifts or Hanukkah gifts)! I used the Deluxe Melted Lipstick in Peony on my lips. All 3 pairs are individually wrapped and nestled inside one pretty package. Next, I used the limited edition Too Faced Melted Kisses & Sweet Cheeks holiday set. This set contains three deluxe Melted Lipsticks and three coordinating deluxe Love Flush blushes. I use the lightest highlighter and the medium contour shade. All pressed mineral powder – it comes with three shades of contour and three shades of highlighter. The best thing I can do is use good skincare products and conceal with a non-comedogenic foundation.Īfter I gave myself a clean canvas, I added a bit of contour and highlight with the Youngblood Contour Palette. My breakouts are hormonal and sometimes flare up with certain medications that I take.

It actually helps to heal the skin and doesn’t promote more acne. The best thing is that Youngblood is healthy for my skin. Most people wouldn’t think of a powder mineral foundation as a concealer, but it really works. I lightly dusted my entire face, and then went in with a small concealer brush to add a heavier layer to cover acne spots and my dark under eye circles.

Then, because I wanted extra full coverage, I used a kabuki brush to add Youngblood Natural Mineral Foundation in Pearl. The blend of rare reduced salt deep sea water, botanicals and more than 20 ocean minerals is so good for my skin. My cat eye eyeliner is definitely not Adele-level, but it does the job! Eyeliner goals!įirst, I applied Youngblood liquid foundation in Pebble to my face with a Beauty Blender sponge. Then, I added a small cat eye with the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner (in black). Then, a mixture of Fleur and Je t’aime on the eye socket. I applied Amour all over the eyes – concentrating it below the brow. Even my fiance noticed the ridiculously cute little house on my vanity! It opens to reveal three separate palettes (that you can gift separately or give as one mega gift) with 18 gorgeous shadows, two blushes, one bronzer, and a deluxe size of the cult-fave, Better Than Sex Mascara. Then, I used the pink palette from the limited edition Too Faced Le Grand Chateau holiday kit. So, I did my eyes and lips without foundation first.įirst, I groomed my brows with the Youngblood Brow Artiste Sculpting Pencil in Natural Brunette. I feel like that would be distracting and a bit misleading. I wanted you to see ONLY the skin – and not a no-makeup before and then a full face of makeup after. Normally I do my eyes and lips after foundation, but I did it backwards for the purposes of this before and after shot. No Photoshop – what you see is what you get! And, I used Too Faced cosmetics for my eyes, cheeks and lips, along with a bit of Kat Von D Tattoo Liner. I also used the Youngblood Contour Palette in the final picture. People always tell me I have great skin, but they don’t know what lies underneath! Ha! Here you can see what my skin looks like when it’s freaking out with acne, and how I was able to conceal dark spots and under eye circles with Youngblood Cosmetics. Hi beauty bunnies!
