Check out my latest YouTube video where I share the makeup I brought along with me to the Made In America music festival in Philadelphia this holiday weekend. I definitely overpacked as usual lol. What are the items that you can’t leave behind, no matter how short of a trip it is?

In this not so Throwback Thursday post, I am sharing my current favorite foundation routine that I posted a few weeks ago on my YouTube channel. The routine leaves you looking fresh-faced and sun-kissed but not without a little hyperbole (e.g. the sickening cheek highlight).
The key to looking fresh vs. cakey when applying foundation is to use a light layer that is just enough to even out your skin tone. Next you want to go in with your concealer and target specific areas that need extra coverage. After you are done applying your liquid or cream products, set everything with the powder of your choice to smooth out the different textures of those products. Feeling powdery? A setting spray will take care of that as well as prolong your makeup’s duration.

I recently picked up this dress at French Connection. It is appropriate for the office while still having some edginess and enough sex appeal for happy hour with friends or a date night after clocking out for the day. The sales associate at the boutique said the dress reminded him of something Rihanna would wear because of the graphic print (as if I needed another reason to pick it up); I already live for RiRi’s style especially during the Rated R era.
P.S. the box clutch is totally lost on the male species. They don’t get it lol.
