'Chocolate Brown' Makeup Look

Hello World! Here's a tutorial on how I got this chocolate brown makeup look!

Step 1: Wash and moisturize! I used Origins Checks and Balances Frothy face wash and Origins GinZing Energy-boosting moisturizer. I also used their GinZing Refreshing eye cream for the dark circles under my eyes. I received all these products and more complimentary and free from Influenster for testing purposes. See my review of all the Origins products I got on Thursday!

Step 2: Prime! I used BECCA Ever-Matte Poreless Priming Perfector.

Step 3: Foundation!  I used Clinique Stay-Matte Oil-Free Makeup in the shade 29 Sienna.

Step 4: Concealer!  I applied concealer under my eyes, along the bridge of my nose, to the center of my forehead and on my chin. Then "baked" with a translucent powder.  I used  Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer in the shade Biscuit and the Sacha Buttercup Setting Powder.

Kerin's Top Ten: Skincare Products

Hello World! I just want to start my saying I am nowhere near an expert on skincare.  With that being said, here's my top ten skincare products (in no particular order) that I have used, so it is a very limited sample.

I also want to say that I have oily-combination, acne prone skin, so the products I picked are catered to those needs.

Top Ten Skincare Products!

1.Sunday Riley Tidal  Brightening Enzyme Water 

I loved this moisturizer! It's really hydrating and helps with skin discoloration and acne scars. See my full review of it here! 

Sunday Riley Tidal Review

Hello World! Here's my review of the Sunday Riley Tidal Brightening Enzyme Water!

So, I've been using this moisturizer for a couple of weeks now, and I really like it. It claims to hydrate and replenish skin and help with uneven skin tones, and it is as good as it claims. When I first applied it,  I found that it was instantly moisturizing and very hydrating on my skin, without being oily. It can even be worn on top of your makeup, if you notice you need a little extra moisture. I like to apply it at night, so it can seep into my skin overnight, and again after I wash my face in the morning. I have also noticed that it has helped to visibly reduce my dark marks, so I will definitely continue using it!

Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer Review

Hello World! 

A few weeks ago, I treated myself to the new Nars Soft Matte Complete Concealer in the shade Biscuit, and I have to say, it has quickly become a staple in my makeup routine. As a long-time fan of the Nars Creamy Radiant concealer, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I prefer this new formula. The coverage is truly full and flawless, effortlessly hiding my dark circles without creasing throughout the day. Even when I forget to set it with powder, it stays in place and keeps me looking fresh.

'No Makeup' Everyday Look

Hello World! Here's a tutorial on how to get a 'no makeup' everyday makeup look. (Please excuse my crazy eyes, I don't know how to take normal photos 😛.)

Step 1: Wash and moisturize you face. Skin care is the most important step in any makeup routine. Starting with a clean moisturized face will help your makeup stay on longer.

Step 2: Prime! For this look, I used the Maybelline Master Prime by Face Studio - Blur +Illuminate.

Step 3:  Color Correct! Color correcting is a lifesaving makeup trick. It allows you to use less foundation and concealer, while still covering up those little imperfections.  I used the orange corrector from L.A. Girl HD Pro Concealer. I applied it to the dark spots on my face, and under my eyes, and blended it out with a sponge. Check it out here!
