Let's talk about concealers

There are some days I don't feel like wearing foundation, CC cream or tinted moisturizer so it's important that I have a few good concealers in my everyday makeup drawer. It should definitely be a staple product for anyone who wears makeup but the key is to find one that answers your skin questions.

I'm not really one to follow the hottest brands in right now but I do think sometimes it's worth checking out. Here's my current concealers on rotation, one missing from here is my Estee Lauder Double Wear concealer which I love as an overall concealer for blemish coverage, uneven skin tone and under eye concealer.

Face oils, the verdict

If you follow me on Snap, you know how obsessed I am with face oils/serums. I don't use a wide variety of them but I do have my go to products on daily rotation. As a combo skin type, I always use to be scared that it would make my face like it's ready to fry an egg on it but slowly and surely I started appreciating their use and since then have swapped face moisturizer for oils/serums instead. Since making the switch, I've found that my skin has become more soft and well hydrated.  If you'd also like to make the change or consider incorporating oils and serums into your face care routine, here's a few tips you can consider before you spend that moolah....
