Three ways to describe my beauty style: Classic and Glam, Love to try different looks, Trendsetter

I wear makeup… Always—even if it's just some gloss. I love wearing makeup every day I’m in public; I feel that just like hair and fashion it’s a way to express yourself. I also think that makeup is very fun to do! But at the truth of it, beauty is really in your inner self.

My best beauty tip: Trying new things is great, but remember that makeup is not essential to beauty—it’s an accessory. So don't let what you look like on the outside rule your life. If you don't have the latest mascara or blush, don't sweat it! 

Fave lip product: Tarte Maracuja Divine Shine Lip Gloss in Charmed, $21, sephora.com

Why I love it: The smell is amazing, and the color lasts so long!

Fave eye product: Ulta Eye Shadow in Bermuda Sand, $7, ulta.com

Why I love it: This product is very pigmented, and stays on for long wear. 

Fave mascara: Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black, $16, clinique.com

Why I love it: This mascara makes my lashes look full and bold, and also doesn’t run, which is a plus!

Fave face coverage product: Neutrogena Skin Clearing Oil-Free Makeup in 30 Buff, $14, cvs.com

Why I love it: It’s the only foundation I’ve used that stays matte all through the day, and also has acne-fighting ingredients, which I love!

Fave face color product: Rimmel London natural bronzer in 022 Sun Bronze, $5, ulta.com

Why I love it: This bronzer adds great contour, without overdoing it.

Fave skincare product: Lush Dark Angels Scrub, $12, lushusa.com

Why I love it: This cleanser makes my face feel so clean and I love the smell!

Fave tool: Ulta Super Blender Sponge, $5, ulta.com

Why I love it: I love this because it is a VERY cheap alternative to the beauty blender but still has the same effect in my opinion.
