Makeup is a skill that I've been working on  perfecting for years. It's an art, which to me, really doesn't have that many rules and allows you to be as creative as you want. I get a lot of questions on what I use for this or that and people always believe it's the most expensive product there is. But what people don't know is, I'm a true frugalista at heart. Yes, I love a good brand and believe in quality but I'm not opposed to trying out a new affordable brand or product either. So ever so often I'm going to share with you either my own makeup or makeup I've done on someone else along with the products used.
I thought the first look I'd share with you, is the "no makeup" makeup. It's a look that as simple as it may seems I'm still working to perfect to achieve absolute flawlessness. Also feel free to send your suggestions as well. This is as much a learning experience for me as it is for you.

As you can see the face required the majority of the products and work to achieve flawlessness. So much for simplicity huh? Also, notice I tend to use a lot of matte products because I have combination/oily skin and these products keep the grease and shine that often show up after hours of wear, at bay. So use products that work according to your skin type. Don't be afraid to try new products unless you have sensitive skin.

I wish this could have been a video tutorial for you guys so you could grasp everything more efficiently, but I just don't have the right setup yet. Who knows, maybe in the near future. For now I'll share everything as best as I can here. Don't be afraid to send me any queries or tips.

Loads of love
