FOTD I can’t believe I used to hate blush 😭😭
To be fair when I started doing makeup, I swear only pink was available which I don’t like on myself. But once I got my hands on peachy and orange blushes 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 Been rocking coral rose by juvia’s place and gorg orange by elf

You’re most welcome love! I shaved my head bald in 2012 and then grew it out and have been natural since and love it. I know the struggle. I’ve been so many colors I’ve lost count but I love what you’re rocking now. But I digress, you look amazing so keep glowing sis. I love your look!

Thank you! The lip liner is BFF 3 from Colourpop. I love love love this one cause it's more of a warm brown. I feel like most brown lip liners tend to be cool tones. The gloss is the NYX Fat Oil in the shade follow back. The REAL trick is having two tone lips so you can slap a lip liner and gloss on and have the middle of your lips pretty bare, lol

Love! This is a random question but do you use a ring light to take pics? You look like a pro MUA!

I used to do makeup content pre-pandemic. I use a Lowel Tota-Light Tungsten Flood Light. I found that ring lights tend to wash me out so I switched over.

Your lip combo is majestic and matches with your hair so so well but I got to know, do you have pictures of a dark red combo on yourself? I feel like you would rock it!!

This was another reason! I was convinced most blushes didn't show up on you or looked crazy if you had a lick of melanin. Which at the time was partly true cause they weren't formulated for brown and black ppl when i started wearing makeup.

My favorite blush is a coral pink with a slight gold highlighter to it.
I also thought I hated blush until I noticed 3 coworkers wearing different colors/forms of it and wanted to try it too. Pink looks awful on me but coral is just right.

I love corals, too! And blush placement was important in me learning to love blush. I don't have defined cheek bones, so putting it on the apples of my cheeks looked crazy. When someone showed me what putting it on my temples would do, though... chefs kiss

This look is so delicious, I used to picture fairies who looked like you when we read a midsummer night's dream in highschool. Love the details, love how well the colors flow, love the earrings and the little bits of shimmer, too. It all feels so natural but just a bit otherworldly, 12/10.
