I don’t talk about makeup that much on the blog, but I’ve slowly become somewhat of an enthusiast. Chalk it up to the hours of YouTube tutorials that I’ve watched, where I’ve learned everything from applying liquid foundation to filling in my eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil – all in the course of this past year. I’m definitely still learning the techniques, but what’s even more fun: I’m discovering all of my favorite tools like my favorite matte lip pencil (I own it in Cruella, Damned and Mysterious Red) to an ultra-moisturizing night cream that I can’t get enough of. I’m thinking about filming my own video on my YouTube channel, but for now, I’m sharing with you my current beauty essentials of the moment. I’m always on the hunt for new products, so feel free to share your favorites in the comments section below!
