Ahh! I FINALLY got around to filming a quick little makeup routine for you all! If you are new, I film my updated makeup routine every July & December – but I skipped the past December because I was pregnant and… tired! Anyway, I got questions about my foundation, mascara, lipstick, etc. almost daily so I like to have an updated routine on my page. My routine hasn’t changed too much over the past year – but I have found a few new products that are seriously SO good… ‘game changers’. 🙂 (I kept saying that in the video!)
I added a few disclaimers to the beginning of the video – but I wanted to explain a bit more in case you are new to my blog. So I used to have really oily skin & acne – but I did Accutane last year and got it all cleared up. My skin got dry from Accutane, but I still need long wear foundation to cover some of the scars and hyper pigmentation. Also, I have pretty bad melasma on my upper lip (melasma-stache!) & it is actually tough to cover. I only have to use a little bit of my foundation ‘mix’ on my face, but if my melasma is dark, I have to do a second layer over it. Last week in the Bahamas, my melasma got darker because of the sun so I had to add a little extra foundation there. This routine is not my daily routine – it is actually just what I do when I am getting dressed up & especially if I need it to last all day & in heat! It’s completely sweat proof so it’s ideal for any special event you may have this summer. [It’s been tested! Lol – last week in the Bahamas I had to shoot a few campaigns and I started sweating and thought for sure my makeup was going to be gone when I got back to the room – but it was all there, perfectly in place!]

Hi Emily, can you tell me again what you do for your MELAsma or any great products you recommend specifically for it? I too have it (grrrr) and have trouble covering it when it gets dark in the summer. Thanks!

Do you think the kiehls serum would be too heavy for someone with oily skin?
Love that you did step by step pictures of the products in this post! I love the coverage of Double Wear, but I live in Vegas and it is just to dry to wear here!

Love the video Emily! You should really do more videos more often 🙂 BTW how did you curl your hair in the above photo? it seriously looks like vs model hair!!
Whats the point in a makeup tutorial that is shot with a camera so far from your face? I couldnt see anything That you were dOing. It Would be so much more helpful if the camera was closer to you!
Hi Emily! Great viDeo:) Where is the The Necklace With the three gold discs from? The one you are wearing in the vidEo:)
