Do You Want More From Your Light Coverage Foundation?

January 22, 2021 Megan Oyarzun

When you think about highlight and contour, do you automatically think full coverage?

I used to and then I found IIID foundation. I have always preferred a light or medium coverage to full coverage foundation. I always felt the more I cover up the less I look like me, I have freckles, so without freckles I am just not Megan. I used to watch YouTube highlight and contour tutorial, I always thought that it just wasn’t something I could do because I didn’t want full coverage. I also thought I want natural looking makeup and it didn’t seem like I could look natural and also highlight and contour.

I was so very wrong. Using creams, it is possible to get beautiful light coverage and highlight and contour. Contour makes your foundation look more natural. Covering up your whole face with one solid color is what looks unnatural.

Does this sound like you? Do you love a natural, light coverage look? Does a CC cream just not quite do it for you? I am with you!

Check out my video to see how I get beautiful light coverage, one layer highlight and contour that takes less than 10 minutes. It is all about cream, you can get the moisturizing of a CC cream with the natural shadows of contour by using the right brush.

Simply Beautiful Eye Look for Fall

October 2, 2019 Megan Oyarzun

I have always hated to buy eyeshadow in palates either the little four eyeshadow palate from the drugstore or the big gorgeous palates from Alta or Sephora. I end up with one favorite and the rest are still full when I run out of my favorite. It seems like a waste of product and a waste of money to replace eyeshadows that you still have a bunch of. So I started spending more and buying individual shadows from MAC or Urban Decay because I didn’t like the waste.

The Secret to Making Long Wear Lipstick Not Suck

When you live in the desert, dryness isn’t just part of the landscape it is part of everyday life. When I moved back to the high desert after spending 3 years living on the coast, I had to slather myself with lotion and face cream, conditioner, only to end up dryer that my moisture free self on the coast. My lips were my biggest source of struggle, they were constantly dry and without constant chapstick they would crack and peel. I gave up on lipstick and bough enough chapstick to put in every purse, coat pocked, desk drawer, car cubby and pants pocket that I had. I got a few tented chapsticks, so I got the look of a lipstick without the dryness.

The Reasons I Switched to a Virtually Unknown Makeup Brand

October 23, 2018 Megan Oyarzun

Okay ladies let’s talk about getting older. I’m 35 and in the last couple years there have been some changes in my face. Some aging changes in my face, some fine lines and wrinkles. It seems like I just woke up one morning and there they were, looking back at me from the mirror. I started to notice that my makeup was sinking into those lines and accentuating my age. I wasn’t comfortable, I felt like this was the first thing people would see when they looked at me. It was not, but that was how I felt. I had been using the same makeup from the beauty counter for years, I kinda hate to admit how many years I stuck with this company even with the makeup looking not that great. When you get used to something, it becomes your comfort zone and it’s hard to make a change. Am I right?

Get Your Dirty Brushes to Shine Like New

May 24, 2018 Megan Oyarzun

I used to dread brush cleaning days. So, I didn't do it very often, I put on makeup with dirty brushes. Ewwwe! As my daughter would say. Every time, I would get them wet, soap them up and rinse them off and the makeup would never come out on the first try, so it became a serious lather-rinse-repeat situation. Then you had wet brushes that you had to set out to dry for 12+ hours (24 if your house is as cold as mine in the winter). What do you do if your brush still isn't dry in the morning? Not to mention I once had a set of expensive brushes, that in my lather-rinse-repeat, I went a bit to heavy on the rinse and softened the glue. The hair started falling out slowly as I applied my makeup, until one morning a big clump fell out and that was the end of my expensive bushes. Waaaaaaah!
