Probably light coverage, tinted moisturizer or BB and CC creams. Just something that will hide the distractions on your face quickly so you can get out the door. I used to use a powder foundation, with a swipe of mascara and some blush so I looked alive.
Read moreWhen 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.

Read moreDid you ever want an eyeshadow palette that is customized just for your eye color. That has only colors that you will want to use and none that your brush never touches? I’ve got you covered, you can pick your own colors or just send me a few pictures and I will build something that is made for you.
Read moreI 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.

It’s summer!! I love summer, hiking, camping, swimming, barbecuing and warm summer nights outside are the best! What do you love about summer?
The other part about summer I like is getting a beautiful sun kissed tan. Okay, not really I am pasty white and tend to burn, peel and return to white and freckly. So, I basically bathe in sunscreen. Luckily, there are products that give me the look of being sun kissed even when I am hiding from the sun. Spray tans and self-tanning lotions have come a long way and these days it is hard to tell if a tan is from the sun or from a bottle. Also, there is no need to risk skin cancer to be a bronzed beauty! Just don’t do it!
Here is the thing though, I have always been terrified to put tanning lotion on my face! What if I get to much? What if I get streaks! What if I am in the middle of applying it and my daughter poops on the floor (maybe that was TMI, but we are potty training, so the struggle is real!). So I just don’t use it on my face. I also don’t want to be changing the shade of my makeup (I may be a bit cheap or maybe a tad bit lazy).
Here is the solution Bella Cream Bronzer, this is a little tin of magic!
Maybe you have never used bronzer and are wondering what is so great about it?
You get the healthy looking glow of a tan without the damage of the sun, win win!
Your face will match your body. If you have a tan body and a bright white face it looks unnatural, get some bronzer girl!
We all know that being tan is slimming (if you have ever tried on swimsuits in the winter you know this to be true, yikes!)
Ok, so you’re thinking, I have a bronzer, what is so special about this bronzer?
Well, my friend this sheer cream bronzer is magic it goes on lightly and is easily buildable
It is a cream, got to much, wipe it off and start over
If you are using a powder bronzer, it is matte, because powders are matte. When I think of the gorgeous golden suntanned glow of summer, I think of dewy bronzed skin! You can only get that with a cream.
Applying bronzer is really not that hard to do and it will only add a few moments to your makeup routine. If you think about where the sun naturally hits your face that is where you apply bronzer (forehead, tops of your cheekbones, nose, chin, collarbone). You do not use bronzer as a contour, contour is the area of your face where there are natural shadows and bronzer is the areas of your face where the sun hits. Apply with a big fluffy brush, lightly brush it over your bronzer in a circular motion trying to avoid getting to much in the middle of your brush. If you think you got a bit to much or it is a bit to concentrated in one spot, gently brush it over your wrist to get off the extra product. Start small you can always add more!
