Colour Correcting 101

So it seems colour correcting is the new trendy makeup fad. But it can also be very useful to help complete your look or combat unwanted redness that your foundation just can't cover. I'll go through the most common colour correcting products and explain how they work and what it can do for you. If  you feel like this is too much for you, don't worry it's not necessary. I would only recommend this if you have very problematic skin or want to look completely flawless. I think most brands now have come out with their own colour correcting products, so it shouldn't be hard to pick up a product! So by looking at a basic colour wheel you can see how colour correcting works. The colour you are wanting to combat, you use the colour on the opposite side of the wheel.

The shade is too orange for me and I know I have to stay away from oranges. Other than that I've used every other shade and have loved them. These shadows are so creamy and blendable. They're also so pigmented

Perfect Fall Makeup

As today is the first day of fall I thought what a perfect time to share some of my favourite fall products. Fall is probably my favourite time of year, mostly because it's still warm but I can wear sweaters and boots. Even though this season is probably the shortest in Canada because it could snow any day now, I still try to enjoy it. In honour of the new season, I treated myself today to my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the year. Now let's get to the makeup.  With the change of the season, it's time to change up your look. I always go for more browns and burgundy shades on my eyes and of course a dark lip. I went through my favourite brands and go to products and listed them down below. Most of these are my daily look (since I tend to wear a dramatic eye even during the day). Hope that you find some inspiration here, I went through all of my products that change with the season. I left out foundation, concealer, highlight, eyeliner,  and mascara because they are pretty c
