Hi! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm Kristi, born and raised in Southern California. I've been into makeup since I was little. Makeup has always been a release to me, but not an obligation. I wear it when I want to, not because I have to and when i do wear something, I like to know it's gonna work... so I research. I'm self taught and love sharing what I find, whether that be a new product, a new makeup look, a new technique for applying, nail art, nails tools or places to get your beauty products cheaper. I hope you love reading these as much as I love writing them. Again, thank you so much for checking out my blog!!

Makeup Look: NAKED Brownie (First You Tube Makeup Video!!)

HEY! So excited that I've finished my first YouTube video. I'd been wanting to do one for a while just to see if I was into it and I've gotten so much amazing feedback. I don't know how far I'll get into this journey but for now? I like it... a lot!

So on to the makeup!! My intention was to use my UD "Midnight Cowboy Rides Again". Got it out, looked at my NAKED 2 palette and ended up doing what I was feeling... this is what I came up with:



I have hooded lids so I pulled the color up and just lightly contoured the crease with a neutral shade. I didn't fill in the brows cuz I wasn't doing a whole lot of dark on the lashes or liner. I used pinky neutral lips (cuz I have never liked darker lips shades on me, just a personal preference) and kept the cheeks naturally flush with blush.

Wondering what products I products I used?

For Face:
     Products Used For Face:
     Benefit POREfessional ProBalm (as primer)
     Revlon Color Stay in 220 Natural Beige
     Revlon Age Defying Concealer in 02 Light Medium
     Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in 004 Sandstorm
     MAC Select Sheer in NC30
     NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Powder in 720A Sunny
