For me to do my own makeup is a more rare occasion than you’d think. Most days of the week, someone else is touching my face and doing my makeup and the days when I am off I love to douse my skin in all the healthy creams and oils and let it relax. I do however love to play and get ready for dates, nights out or time with friends and family. As you know, skin and hair changes come winter. My skin goes pale white and my lips become dry and chapped and acne starts showing itself, especially if I am stressed. Which, let’s be honest is 100% of the time ( I’m working on being more Zen this year).
As the winter months last, I want my makeup to still have a flare but also I think a classy look with a dark lip is the PERFECT winter look. I love a darker lip because you’re not sweating or sipping your lipstick away like you do in the summer. This color that I am wearing on my lips is actually a sample of Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy in color A45. I have a neutral undertone so most red lips work on my skin tone but what I love about this color is that it has a gold hue to it and is really pretty. It showed through the camera even more gorgeously than I thought. I also love any lipstick by Bite, I use the shade Pomegranate and I also love Lush’s Santa Baby. All of those are my favorite Red lipstick colors. 
Mind you I did not do my hair for this shoot, it actually is still wet from the shower. On my face I am wearing RMS Uncover up foundation/concealer. I absolutely adore this stuff and it’s organic and so easy to wear and apply. It’s soft and my skin stays dewey and soft without the grease. I also love that it is a creamy formula in a pot rather than liquid. I use my fav Urban Decay Naked Skin in Medium Light Warm. 
On my cheeks and highlight I am wearing Josie Maran’s Color Stick infused with Argan oil. I have simple coconut oil that I patted onto the high point of my cheek bones to not only infuse with more moisture but to also give a dewey glow.You guys know I love my healthy glow. 
Now for my eyes, I got a palette from Ulta for my birthday called the Happy Birthday palette from NYX and I LOVE IT! It has the burnt oranges and deep red-browns that flatter everyones eye. I am wearing a burnt orange, I lined my inner eyes with a black eyeliner on my waterline. I took a darker eyeshadow right against my lashes and applied a few coats of the Better Than Sex by Too Faced mascara. I also took some of the darker eyeshadow and put it under my eyes in the outer corners. I love a smokey look and you can do smokey with literally any color. I then dusted my face with a all over face powder that’s about 10 shades too dark for me, but if you do it correctly you can make your face AND NECK appear like you have a tan. Oh, the wonders of makeup. Hence why I took these and it’s 30 degrees outside and it looks like I was just hanging out in the sun.
For those of you who always ask me where my clothes are from, the sweater I am wearing is from Fabletics. It came with cute pink workout pants and I’ll be completely honest, I don’t wear normal clothes. The majority of what I wear is workout and athlesiure wear, it’s so comfy and has become socially acceptable to wear spandex pretty much anywhere.
