My Top 5 Makeup Products

I recently got tagged to do a video showing my top 5 makeup products and it turns out all of them are from the drugstore! In my latest video I'm going to share the products that I honestly cannot live without. Most of these products are multitasking, versatile, and most of all very affordable. This is a great video for those wanting to start a makeup collection or for those who simply want to discover some great products.

Tutorial | Getting ready for school

Do you struggle to get out of bed in the morning for school? Well I do! Sometimes I'm able to wake up as soon as I hear my alarm go off, and other times I snooze it a couple of times until I realize that I only have about 20 minutes to get ready. This tutorial is for those girls who like to press snooze one too many times. You might be thinking well 20 minutes is a long time to get ready but when you like makeup and take a while to pick your outfits, it really isn't.

Hope you enjoy this quick and easy tutorial!

Also I have to mention that I'm still learning to edit my videos. At the moment the best way to edit and film my videos is on my iPad mini so please bear with me until I figure out the best way to edit videos on the iPad version of iMovie. I'm looking forward to upgrading my editing and filming equipment some time in the future but for the time being I have to make the best of what I have.

Hope you have a great day!

Tutorial | Five product face

For my first venture back into beauty videos I decided to keep things simple and do an easy look using only five products. For those who can't afford having many makeup products investing in multi-purpose products is the key. Matte or cream lipsticks (basically anything without shimmer or glitter) make amazing cream blushes! A good foundation can also act as a concealer when layer up. And things such as bronzer and highlight can be used as eye shadows. Heck, even a good shimmery eye shadow like Stila's Kitten could be used as a highlight!

Hopefully this video will show you how to create a full look with only 5 products. While this look is nothing special, it can easily be transformed into a bold look by switching the brown eyeliner and mascara to black, making the eyeliner thicker, creating a smokey eye with the eyeliner, or by adding the lipstick straight from the bullet.
