One issue I have found with my lashes lately is that my mascara will smudge just a teeny bit on my upper lid. UPDATE: I have been obsessed with L'Oreal Bambi mascara lately. It lengthens, thickens, doesn't get clumpy and holds my curl all day. For my upper lashes, I have been loving Lancome Monsieur Big. For the lower lashes I use Maybelline Lash Discovery because the brush is teeny tiny and coats all the little baby lashes I got going on. I use one for my lower lashes and one for my upper lashes. I'll admit I'm a little high maintenance when it comes to mascara. Time for mascara!

Nowadays, it continues to be a fun little hobby of mine. I loved doing makeup for customers who normally went barefaced and showing them how a little blush here and a little lipstick there could be a fun addition to their own beauty routine. Makeup has always been one of those things I just genuinely enjoy. Fun fact: I used to work at Sephora in college and then at MAC Cosmetics as a makeup artist in grad school. It would be an understatement to say I like makeup. Some days I do a little more and some days less but on average, this is what you will usually catch me doing at my vanity table Monday through Friday. ![]() I'm not too great with videos (so awkward) so I put this blog post pictorial (?) together showing how I get ready on a typical morning. One of the questions I get asked on my Instagram account is for a tutorial on my daily makeup routine. Today I am sharing my everyday makeup routine. ![]()
