I change up my makeup rather frequently, but recently I’ve been receiving a lot of inquiries on what I’m using. I’m not a makeup artist, lord knows that, but I think I’ve mastered the natural look. The problem is, everyone has a different face. Sorry, ya’ll 😉 Hopefully some of what I use will work…
