A Tip to find your Skin Tone: Cool, Warm or Neutral?

Hello Beauties!! If you have trouble ever finding your Skin Tone, Here's a tip to finding out yours :). Hold out the inside of your wrist, look at your veins. What color are your veins? If your veins are blueish/purple then you are Cool Toned. If your veins are a greenish color then you are Warm Toned, and If your veins are purple/greenish then you are Neutral Toned. Here is also a quick picture to look out for "Key Words" when choosing a foundation. 
I really hope this was helpful to you guys :). If you have any questions, as always leave a comment down below i'll be happy to answer them :). Xo,

Correcting Concealers: How To:

Hello Beauties!! I hope you all had a Wonderful Thanksgiving! I wanted to share some information about Correcting Concealers. Most of my clients ask how to use correcting concealers and well here you go! Correcting Concealer and How to use 101! :) 

So here is a color wheel for a guide:

Green cancels out Redness in the skin: Scars, Acne or just plane redness in the cheeks, around the nose, around the mouth and/or forehead. 

Orange cancels out blue in the skin: Dark circles

Yellow cancels out purple: Dark circles, scarring and bruises. 

Purple cancels out yellow in the skin. 

Pale Pink: Brightens the skin that have a grayish undertone. 

When putting your shade of correcting concealer on, in my personal opinion it is better to use your finger tips to apply under eyes. If you are using corrector on a bigger area like cheeks I would suggest using a beauty blender. (Remember DO NOT swipe back and forth or rub it on. Stifle it on the area and pat pat pat! also do this with the finger tips, pat.) When you are done applying your corrector you can go on with your foundation routine and matching concealer.  Don't forget to set everything with powder! :)

So there is the magic! :) knowing this will really help you get the flawless skin you are looking for. Hope this was helpful to you beauties! If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them down below!
