createthislookforlessxHey! 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!!
I went on a mini drugstore haul today! (CVS was doing a buy one get one half off sale with most of their brands!)
I got:
- Maybelline Color Whisper in Go Nude
- Maybelline Color Whisper in Pink Possibilities
- Maybelline Lip Gloss in Almond Crush
- Almay Intense i-color (liquid shadow + color primer) for green eyes
- Almay Smart Shade Mousse Makeup in light/medium
- Revlon Illuminance Creme Shadow in Not Just Nudes
- Revlon Nail Art in Moon Candy
- L’Oreal Double Extend Eye Illuminator Mascara for Brown Eyes in Black Quartz
- L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara in Blackest Black
- Maybelline Master Drama by Eyestudio in Sapphire Strength
A few of my favorite items I’ve been using on set this week:

This is the first time I’m seeing this smart shade perfect and correct primer made by Almay. Has anyone tried this?
Almay Smart Shade Perfect and Correct Primer
NEW multi-tasking face primer intuitively adjusts to smooth and soften skin while correcting skin’s most common problems with visible color correcting strands. green ribbons neutralize redness, while swirls of lavender pigments even out and brighten skin tone. imperfections are diffused and skin is up to 265% more hydrated. this lightweight, non-oily formula works for all skin types but is specifically formulated for sensitive skin. wear it alone for a flawless finish or underneath foundation for the first step to perfected skin.

Prevent “bleeding” lipstick by applying a lip primer or concealer around the outside of your mouth.
Prime your lips with a light layer of concealer before applying lipstick.
This will help your lipstick last longer.
