Illuminators for Summer







Loving these Illuminators by Nars and Inglot! They give such a gorgeous sheen to the high cheekbone area. We love to apply them with the MAC duo fibre brush #130. Which one is your favorite?

Sephora's New Airbrush




It's no secret, airbrush is all the rage. And if you're not in on the secret...well, let's get you caught up right here and right now!

Our artists at Makeupforyourday LOVE the look (and feel) of airbrush. It gives an absolute flawless finish, is able to cover EVERYTHING (even tattoos--see Jen B's masterwork on our New Year's Eve bride for a half sleeve tattoo coverup on our Facebook page!!) and photographs better than any other makeup.

We currently use Kett Cosmetics exclusively for airbrush because, well, they're the best! We've tried other professional brands and they just didn't work as well.

From a personal standpoint though, there are many different airbrush options for at-home use. That brings us to Sephora's new airbrush in a can. We're interested to read the reviews, hear your stories and try it ourselves! What do you think?!
