    Girls, meet your new best friend… Estee Lauder! Out with MAC foundation, and in with grandma’s favorite Estee Lauder’s Double Wear fountation. I know, I know, you’re skeptical but it’s true! Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation is wayyyy, wayyyy, WAY better than MAC’s foundation. My friend Lindsay told me about this secret switch and after trying it out, I really love it 239,231,454 times better! It wears so much better than MAC, with little to no touch ups needed the entire day. I don’t know about you, but with MAC I had to touch up through out the day and by 4pm always looked like my face was melting off. Not a good look. Anyway, it is about $32 bucks and I got mine at Nordstrom. You can get it at any Estee Lauder counter, or online here.

    I get TAWNY color if that helps anyone :)

    Double Wear offers:

    • 15-hour staying power.
    • Flawless coverage all day.
    • Worry-free, long-wearing makeup that stays fresh and looks natural through heat, humidity, nonstop activity.
    • Won’t change color, smudge or come off on clothes.
    • Feels lightweight and comfortable.
    • Now the flawless look you see in the morning is the look you keep all day.

    Advantages:

    • Goes on smoothly
    • Great range of colors
    • Covers well and gives a flawless finish
    • Does not feel heavy or cakey

    Disadvantages:

    • More pricey than some other foundations, for sure worth the price!

    Overall Opinion:

    • It covers so well, feels great on my skin, goes on smoothly, and matches perfectly even if I am not super tan!
    • It does not make me look orange like MAC’s foundations do, and covers even better.

    Try it out and lemme know what you think!

    As you know I am a big fan of Kim Kardashian, and of course always love her make up. Her make up artist shares his tips and I love posting them! I think they are so useful because he’s obviously a reliable source. This week’s tip was for under eye coverage. Many people email me about this topic so I had to share his choice for BEST under eye concealer. Yes it’s even Kim’s favorite!

    His pick for the BEST under eye concealer?

    The best concealer really depends on the skin or area you want to cover up. If I had to choose one right now, I’d say the Lift Concealer by Make Up For Ever. Apply some with a brush to under eyes, blend with a damp sponge and set with translucent powder using the same damp sponge. Brush away that excess powder and voila – you’ve got flawless, crease-less under eyes!

    Lift Concealer by Make Up For Ever

    To order this concealer go to Sephora.com

    More than just a concealer! It contains tensine, an active ingredient with skin-firming properties for the eye area, and vitamins A and E, which regenerate the skin. This multi-purpose product also conceals specific, darker areas (brown spots, blotches, etc.) and can be used as a highlighter on the more prominent parts of the face (cheekbones, forehead, and chin) for added radiance.

    Dany’s Tip: “If you have wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, apply directly into the crease, then blend with light movements into your foundation.”
