I think that makeup is the bee’s knees. It has the power to enhance or transform. To empower and seduce. To project innocence or confidence. {view my 5-Minute Face and Advanced Makeup tutorials here and learn how to achieve the perfect pout here}. I’ve had inquiries as to exactly what makeup products I use, what I can’t live without, and what I give my stamp-of-approval to. I decided that I would answer these questions in the most honest way possible… by dumping out my makeup bag {the one that holds my essentials… not the makeup train cases that I have filled with fun colors and rarely used products} and then listing exactly what was in that bag. With this combination of products, I have been able to achieve every necessary look {and they all fit into one Betsey Johnson makeup bag}. As you’ll notice, some of the products are a bit pricey and some are only a couple of dollars {love it!}. All of the products are f.a.b.u.l.o.u.s.
