TRENDING....Brows, Lashes & GLOW !



This is a trend that I wouldn't mind seeing again in 2017. I call this the "Pretty" Makeup Trend. Even though its a FULL face of makeup, its very fresh and enhances the face beautifully.

The picture to the right is a perfect example of this look. She has beautiful luminous skin, full sculpted brows and long, wispy lashes. She has minimal eye shadow and a winged liner.There are different ways you can achieve this look.

Based on preference, you can minimize and enhance as much as you would like. Some may like shorter lashes or more eye shadow. Go with whatever makes you feel beautiful and enhances your features.


Here are some of my HOLY GRAIL products for this look:

MAC Strobe Cream
This will bring out the GLOW within..
You can either mix with your moisturizer or add on top
Embryolisse Lait-Creme
This is a primer, moisturizer, remover, etc











Loreal Voluminous Mascara
Best Mascara for adding volume and giving
 a "false lash" look to the lashes







Salon Perfect
DEMI Wispies 

















LORAC Unzipped Palette
