CHAP STICK!
It is great to moisturizer those lips now that is winter. This is key especially if you enjoy matte lipsticks like myself. Dry lips can cause matte lipstick to crack creating an unflattering look. So ladies make sure you moisturize before applying those matte lipsticks!

                                                           Holy Grail Hair Gel
My favorite hair gel to lay my baby hair is Eco Style. This product is great for natural hair, and defining curls. It is inexpensive and can be found at your local convenient store. I highly recommend this to anyone. It is also used to hold down hair that may be coarse which is also good too. There is also many gels from eco style to choose from.

                                                  Makeup for the Low

Websites I highly recommend for good quality makeup for low prices is ikatehouse.com and bh cosmetics.com. These 2 websites are my favorite for low priced makeup that is of high quality. 

                                                          My Go to Drug store Foundation
You don't have to spend a fortune to look good. Some foundations from high end companies like Mac and Sephora have an amazing wide range of foundations to choose from. The only issue with this is, high end foundations can sometimes be very pricey especially if you are on a budget. This solution to this is to find a drug store foundation that has beautiful coverage and is not to heavy and patchy on the skin. I have finally found a drug store foundation that is very affordable ($8-$10) and also provides coverage (medium) of an high end foundation. This product is CoverGirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous Fabulous 3-In-1 foundation. The great thing about this product is that it comes with a variety of shades to choose from especially for women of color, also it is long wear and has the formula of a primer, powder, and concealer.

Tips to a Flawless Foundation Application

Primer

Many people skip this step when applying makeup. But this may be the step that is causing your foundation from being flawless as possible. Primer will make the skin soft and smooth, also filling in pores and wrinkles. Giving you a smooth canvas to work with, resulting in no creases or wrinkles in your foundation.

Washing Your Face

This is the most essential to having flawless and foundation, but not only that, but clean skin. It is always best to start your makeup off with a face clear of oils and dirt. Think of it this way, would you start a painting off with a dirty already used canvas? 

Setting Powders

Setting powders are amazing for matte looks. People with oily skin should invest in setting powders to keep the shine and oil from their skin from peeking through their foundation, which results in a oily mess. A setting powder will also keep your foundation looking flawless as possible making sure there is no creasing in your foundation. People with dry skin may not need a setting powder, since it may dry out the skin.

Color Correcting Concealers

Concealers come in different shades and tones that are different from normal skin complexion tones. These concealers can be an essential to your makeup collection because they can cover very red irritated pimples to pesky dark circles. Color correcting concealers has a lot to do with basic colors. For example, green cancels out red, and on the color wheel green is right across from red, meaning green concealer wheel cancel out redness.

Orange Concealers:
Orange concealers can help with dark spots, dark discoloration of the skin, and dark circles. Orange concealers are great for darker skin tones, but not so much for lighter ones.

Green Concealers:

Green concealers are amazing for redness, red spots on the skin, or a very irritated red pimple that needs to be concealed.

Yellow Concealers:

Yellow concealers are good for covering blue or purple (bruises, under eye circles, veins).
