Get Ready with Maggie: Makeup for Fair Skin!

Hi friendssssss!
Coming from a fellow 'pale girl' I know the struggle of trying to wear makeup but looking fake. Sure its easy for a tan girl to slop on makeup but my fair skin girls can never find the right foundation color, can never wear bronzer because it looks muddy, can never find the perfect nude lip etc. etc. I feel you ladies! So I thought me and my friend Maggie would team up to help you in the video below! Check it out:) (It is great for girls on a budget as well... I didn't realize until it was over hehe)


In the video I used Loreal True Match they have like a bagillion colors so I can put on my dogs life that you will find one that is perfect for you!

For Bronzer I used NYC Sunny Bronzer. With bronzer you cannot forget that you want no shimmer! This is an awesome choice because it is lighter than most. The darker the bronzer the muddier it will look. It is very natural!

I used a coral lip in the video but an awesome nude for lighter girls is Revlons Lipstick in 001 Nude Attitude. It is the bees knees. Im obsessed. You probably already know this though :X
I hope this helped my pale girls! I know its tricky to find perfect colors for your skin but just remember keep playing with colors and only shop at stores that are good with returns;)

Should I Buy? - Beauty Blender


Ok... So a lot of you might be asking what is this and NO I would not buy it! If you like natural looking makeup you should be all about this--- Its called a Beauty Blender! It is a makeup applicator that is a spongey material, one end is rounded while the other is more at a point. This is the perfect design because the rounded edge is for your foundation on most of your face while the pointed end is better for your concealer around your eyes, nose, and little crevices that rounded edge wouldn't fit into! I have been eyeing this for a bit but I have not wanted to make the purchase $19.99 for this little sponge.. I would rather use my brushes I already have! But I finally bit the bullet and bought it....... 

I just tried it anddddd I LOVE IT! It makes my skin so flawless and my foundation feels so much more light weight then just with a normal foundation brush. The blender is so easy to apply and covers my planets perfectly!

So heres how to use it..... 



 Firstttttt run the sponge under water for a few seconds.....



Then when it gets damp squeeze all the excess water out of the sponge.



 Voila! Ready to go!


When you apply the foundation put it on the back side of your hand then blot the Beauty Blender into the product then blot on to your face.. Do not use side to side motions always blot the skin with the sponge up and down! Around your eyes and nose again, use the small pointed side! Thats all there is to it! Perfect looking airbrushed foundation every single time! You'll never have caked on makeup again:) 

You can buy it at your nearest Sephora or at Sephora.com for $19.99! Its totally worth every penny!
