5 Makeup Tips to Live By
- Skin Care Always Comes First!
Make sure that you are taking care of your skin under that beat face! Whether you have oily, dry, combination or sensitive skin, it is always important that before you do your makeup you are starting on a fresh, clean face to make that look pop!

Many people don’t understand the importance of this tip, but it is just as important as skincare.
