Watercolor


This is another one of my HOLY GRAIL products.  The ultra lightweight blushes from Daniel Sandler are amazing for older skin like mine because they are not shiny or frosty and don't accentuate my fine lines!  However, because they are so lightweight...I would recommend them for teenagers so they don't look overly made up!  

I discovered this product from Katie from Beauty and the Boutique.  They are available in 6 ultra sheer and buildable shades and can be purchased HERE for $22.48 each.  Super easy to use: On my "no-makeup" makeup days...I use the VEIL (see my previous post HERE) and then use just a dab of this on my cheeks, eyelids and lips.  YES...just one little dab will cover ALL those areas for a slightly flushed look.  It is super easy to add on more if you want some more color.  (Katie also has a great video tutorial HERE on how to use the product to look naturally glowing and beautiful.)

I got all the colors (I just couldn't decide!) but the GLOW is the one I use every day to add a little bronze color to my face.  I then pick between the other colors to add a pop of color to the apples of my cheeks, eyes and lips.  LOVE this product!!

Illumanti!

I am a huge fan of the no-makeup makeup look...but as I am getting older I need to cover my age spots etc.  I discovered the Veil from Katie from Beauty and the Boutique.  It is literally my HOLY GRAIL product.  It is not quite a concealer or a foundation...but on my light make up days...it is what I wear!  One click of the product in five spots:  under my eyes, under my lips, the sides of my nose, down the center of my nose and in-between my eyebrows.  A little of the product goes a long way!  You just PAT the product in and it is never cake-y and never settles in my fine lines.  Click HERE to see how Katie applies the product...that is where I learned to use it.  I LOVE it.  It just makes my face look good without a heavy makeup look.  I use it EVERY day.  On days where I am going out or want a more "make-up' look I will apply foundation on top of it.  But, for an every day look it is perfect.  It would be great for teenagers just starting to wear makeup too because it looks so natural!  It is $40 on the Veil site but Katie sells it for $35.53 and free shipping.
