Easy Everyday Contouring and Highlighting

Contouring and highlighting has been a huge makeup trend in recent years, and with good reason - you can use concealer to achieve more defined cheek bones, to make your lips look bigger, and my personal favorite - to hide a double chin. And despite all of the intricate tutorials out there, I want to show you that it can actually be quick an easy!

The first trick is to start with the right concealer shades. First, let’s get one thing straight: when I say highlighter, I do not mean the super light and shimmery highlighter that should only be reserved for above the cheekbones. I’ve seen all too many makeup vloggers apply that all over, from the forehead to the tip of the nose, to the cupid’s bow and the chin. Those however, are rather places for a creamy skin-tone concealer.


How to Pick the Right Shade of Concealer

For the highlights, you want a concealer that is one to two shades lighter than your foundation. If you just go one shade lighter, as I have, pick one with a yellow tone, so y…

My Top Wedding-Registry Picks


As my fiance and I get ready to send out our Save the Dates, I'm finishing up details on our wedding website, including links to our registries. We've decided to go with Pottery Barn, Target, and Williams-Sonoma. It's a good mix of different price points and perfectly incorporates our style.

A wedding registry is supposed to consist of items for the home - items that you and your future partner will use in your new life together. Most of my registry picks center around wine, coffee, or entertaining, like the gorgeous scalloped marble board pictured above. I confess, I may wind up using that more for food photography than in real life.


My fiance and I both have dinnerware sets, but I couldn't help registering for a nice matching set. I love the rustic design and this Pottery Barn Leila Dinnerware. I also love the crisp white color. It's perfect for mixing and matching with different linens and centerpieces to create many different looks. And as I can see from the product pic, it would look gorgeous on my dark wood table.


I could certainly use more baking pans. Mine are so worn out, not to mention cheap. It's definitely time for an upgrade. Pictured: Williams-Sonoma Traditionaltouch 6-Piece Bakeware Set


My fiance and I love wine, particularly red wine. If we're not too busy drinking coffee, we're usually trying a new Pinot Noir out. Our new place has plenty of space above the cabinets for several of these pretty wine boxes. Pictured: Pottery Barn Founder's Wine Storage Box


Though we are even more obsessed with coffee than we are wine. I'm still trying to pick just the right espresso machine to register for, but I did already register for these cute glass coffee cups.
