While I absolutely love fashion, I always seem to struggle in the beauty department. For one, I'm terrible at putting on my own makeup anyway. I'm that girl who spends 15 minutes battling with her liquid eyeliner. Second, finding colors that stand out on my dark skin always proves to be a challenge.
Even though I like to keep it natural in terms of beauty, here are my top three products I use pretty much daily:
1. Eyes: MAC Amber Lights Eyeshadow - I've been wearing this shadow since high school. It's that good. Putting on a primer underneath this warm, copper-toned shadow really makes it pop on my skin. If you don't mind spending a little more money on your makeup, I would highly recommend Amber Lights.
2. Face: MAC Raizin Blush - It doesn't matter what color you are, everyone could use a little blush. I tend to use the MAC Raizin Blush in the winter and a brozer in the summer. I wouldn't say that I get "pale" during the winter, but my skin isn't as radiant during the colder months because of the lack of sun, and the red undertones of this blush really help bring me back to life.
3. Lip: MAC Viva Glam Vi (lipstick and lipglass) - If it's for everyday wear or if I have a dramatic smokey eye at night, I love the subtle lipstick/lipgloss combo of MAC's Viva Glam VI. I love the pearl shimmer that the gloss has; it compliments a variety of looks that I try out. The best part about Viva Glam is that every cent of the selling price goes toward helping women, men and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
