Concealer 101

So many people consider concealer a must have in their makeup bag, but shopping for one can be soo overwhelming. When looking at an isle you will see that not only to they come in regular skin tones but that they also come in colors such as green, yellow, and purple. Every color can help target a specific problem area, and you can learn the basics by just looking at the color wheel.

Basically any color on the wheel cancels out what is across from it, for example a green concealer would cancel out any redness.

Purple or violet concealers get rid of any yellow undertones that your skin may have, and evening it out in the process.

How Much Is Your Face Worth?

I have seen this floating around on the Internet and I thought it would be a fun idea for my next post. Even though I have a decent amount of makeup (at least I'd like to think so) I find myself only using the same seven or eight products to create my daily look. Made up of a combination of department store and drug store products, this is how much my face is worth :) Don't forget to add up your own and leave a comment below !
