Move over, diamonds. Accessories are a girl's best friend.
Your accessories, especially scarves, stick by you through thick and thin.
Literally.
Your head scarves work hard to flatter you, no matter what. Show these steadfast companions some love by pairing them with coordinating colors. An entourage of colorful friends: gloss, highlighter, and shadow.

I want my makeup to make me look like I glow from within. In order to get this natural effect, I use stipple brushes.
Stipple brushes' longer bristles allow you to pick up just a small amount of color. Then when you apply, both the longer and shorter strands allow you a full brush worth of bristles for blending.
Putty Blush Brush / Small Stipple Brush / Domed Stipple Brush
My go-to stipple brushes are the above three from affordable makeup brand e.l.f. cosmetics. I also have my eye on this MAC duo-fibre brush.
Blending prevents unnatural-looking harsh edges around your blush, bronzer, and highlighter. To further soften the edges, blend them out with a separate, clean brush.
May you glow from within, no matter the circumstances. Keep in touch by signing up for the weekly e-newsletter below!
