About-Face



Since I’ve been receiving so many questions lately about my skincare & makeup, I thought I would do a post sharing with you the items I use every single day and cannot live without. I know that everyone has different preferences & coverage needs when it comes to foundation…and while your face makeup does play a role in the overall process, I chose instead to focus on the other products I use (and swear by) to create a flawless finish & help keep it that way.  



1) CeraVe Moisurizing Lotion – $13.99
2) Smashbox Photo Finish Primer – $36.00
3) MAC Strobe Liquid – $31.00
4) NARS Blush (Orgasm) – $28.00
5) Arbonne Mattifying Powder – $26.00
6) Benefit High Beam – $26.00


*I’m beyond flattered to be featured on Skinny Mom today – you can read the full interview I did with them here!

    It's always good to see what cosmetic products other blogger use. I really need to give the highlighter a try, it looks really inviting. Do you use the CerVe Lotion on your face? It looks like a body lotion? Unfortunately I cant open any of your links :-(. Thanks Kim for sharing. Have a great Tuesday 🙂

    Jen, you should try the CeraVe am – it has spf in it and it's less oily than the regular formula. There is also a pm version that I started using and love (but it's a little more spendy)!

    Ani, yes the Cerave is a facial moisturizer, but you can use it on your body too and it's wonderful for that as well! Sorry about the links – looks like ShopStyle is down! 🙁

    Do you think you could do a "Get the Look for Less" post on this? I can't afford to get all those high-end products but would like to know how I can have my face look like that using drugstore products. Great post though!

    I just got NARS Orgasm a few days ago…there really is something special about it! I think it's the very subtle amount of shimmer. It's not so obvious that you look like you're covered in glitter, but just adds something special. Also, I like that the pigment is very saturated so you don't have to use very much (makes it last longer!)

    So helpful! Your skin is totally beautiful so definitely taking these products to heart. Thanks!

    I use a smashbox primer on days when I am going to be running around a lot and want my make up to stay put.

    For nighttime moisturizer, there is a great Origins product called NIGHT A MINS. It smells delicious, doesn't cost a bundle, and one jar lasts a long time. Also has no alpha hydroxy, which I like

    I'm all about simple, tried-and-true standbys like Cetaphil or CeraVe when it comes to skin. I always think the less you do to it, the better! And absolutely on track with the primer, blush and highlighter too – those are my go-tos as well!

    Just had to say as a make up artist, I spend my days trying to tell people that you can still have that "lit from within" look if you are oily. I say your recommendations and screamed "FINALLY someone who understands!" in the middle of Starbucks. Now they think I am crazy but this is why I love your blog because finally…someone who understands!

    this is great, thanks for the tips. That Nars blush looks pretty, I may have to give that a try for the upcoming wedding festivities. Any brush sets you can recommend?

    Just bought the mattifying powder! I have quite oily skin, and I'm hopeful this will work! Thanks for the recommendation! I would have never heard of this brand otherwise.

    Have a lovely day,
