Why would you want to look like this if it's not natural??

They were young and cute when that picture was taken, as an adult you might look like "send in the clowns"

I know you look cute as a bug's ear in any makeup look. The colors lean a bit more orange/ dark peach on my phone tho.

I used to have the benefit dandelion highlighter.  I think I gave it to my granddaughter a year or so ago. It's a classic 🙂

@monicakm  Thank you so much for such a sweet compliment, Monicakm! I bet you look extremely cute and lovely in any makeup look that you do ! The colors look different in person vs on the phone for sure- the Kiko Milano blush is a very pretty coral pink light sherbet color and the Bare Minerals Coral Cloud bounce and blur blush is an orangey sunset color. .  I love the Benefit Dandelion Twinkle Highlighter- I've been using it every day since I bought it.  You're such a sweet grandma to gift the highlighter to your granddaughter! 

    Great news! Today I found my favorite discontinued blush and lipgloss stain in a  handbag that I haven't used in a while! I was absolutely thrilled! 

Here they are:

Too Faced Love Flush Blush ( I will never get over this line of Too Faced blushes being discontinued! )

L'Oreal Signature Light Weight Matte Lip Stain in "I Savor" 

This was my signatire pink lip in 2020 and then L'Oreal discontinued it.  Such a flirty and fun pink.

I wish I was your age or younger when the makeup scene just literally exploded (like it did in 2020) with dozens of new products everyday.  I still love putting it on and dressing up but I don't use it as often as I did when I was younger.  I'm glad you enjoy your makeup as much as I do. I wore the boyfriend blush again yesterday but this time with a powdered blush. I got the placement better but I'm still having issues with one side being lower than the other. I heard someone else mentioned that on a video. Going to watch some more tutorials tonight. My husband always compliments my look and did so again yesterday so I asked him if he noticed anything different. He didn't 🙄

I'm in bed for the night and about to watch some YouTube beauty videos and try to find something exciting and innovating that knocks my socks off.

I'm wearing Valentino perfume... sample, can't remember the name , it's okay and Haus Labs lip gloss 🙂  had a pedicure a couple of days ago. Worst color choice I've ever made in my pedicure wearing years! What was I thinking? The look clearly didn't transfer from my brain to my toes like I envisioned.  It's a light tan. I was going for a nude look.  It looks fine in some lighting and horrendous and others.  

Got my new LoveShackFancy perfume today and I'll be sending it back. It's okay-ish but I have so many more that I like much better so I know I won't be reaching for it.

@monicakm  I think that 2020 was a great year for makeup and I also enjoyed 2017 to 2019 for makeup.  I miss doing makeup in my teen years when I took more risks with colorful eyeliner and sparkly blush.  I've got to get back into purple or navy eyeliners again.  I really like how you try new things with your makeup looks and you research new products and brands .  I wonder what causes blush to be higher on one side than the other?  Maybe it could be ftom tilting the head to the side while putting on blush? I think its pretty common. I like that your husband compliments your great makeup ! I think it would be hard for most guys to pinpoint changes in makeup looks, unless they were drastic changes.

    Valentino perfume and Haus Labs lip gloss to bed- now that is beauty sleep! I'm glad that you got to try the LoveShackFancy perfume.  I tried tan colored nails and I also noticed that the color looks one way under certain types of lighting and differently in others.
