Hey! I love your posts!! I was wondering how to use bronzer and what kind I should get. I have rather fair skin but it's a little tan from the summer. And what brush should I use to apply the bronzer? Thanks!!

Great makeup tutorial

I love this as an idea to hold my makeup brushes!

I don’t normally spoil myself with makeup or brushes and all products I buy just end up in my professional kit. But when I saw that Ulta had the Real Techniques brushes buy one get one 50% off the other day I could not resist. I already have a ton of the real techniques brushes in my kit so I bought (for myself! woo) the core collection and the starter kit. So excited to throw out old brushes and start using these new ones!

Jessica Alba’s makeup
“The muted cheeks, alluring cat-eyes and monochromatic palette looked especially pretty against Jessica’s gorgeous skin tone,” says makeup artist Fiona Stiles, who used Revlon makeup and EcoTools brushes to create a sophisticated face for Alba.
