Beauty Tuesday - 3 Primers that Will Rock Your World!
Priming is new to some women and old hat to other but it is so important that you use a good primer to get your face ready like an artist prepares a great canvas. I chose 3 of my favorite primers for you. I wanted to make sure I gave you 3 great optional that 3 different price points because I know budgeting is so important for many of us.
On the other hand with makeup you get what you pay for. Am I saying that the most expensive thing is what you should buy? Only if it is what is best for your skin. You have to keep your skin health in mind at all times which is one reason you choose a primer.
My personal top 3 reasons for using a primer is to smooth my skin and seal my pores before I apply my makeup as well as helping my face makeup to last longer. It is so important to me that 3 hours after I put my makeup on I still look good you know. We spend a lot of money and time on our personal beauty so yes primer is one more thing to buy but it will help everything smooth out and be sealed!

Makeup Monday: 5 Primers You Will Love!
5 Primers You Will Love! #MakeupMonday #BeautyBlogger #Primers by lizeverettstyle featuring too faced cosmetics
What is a makeup primer?

Hey Girlfriend,
I am so excited to share with you this Makeup Monday! I am crazy about +Too Faced Cosmetics primers! I use their eye and face primers. I first found it a few months ago when I picked up the beauty blogger sample kit at +Sephora this past February and now I am hooked 100%. It is so effective for pictures and also for covering my pores and blemishes.
What is a makeup primer?
According to WiseGeek.com a makeup primer is a cosmetic designed to smooth and conceal fine lines and uneven skin texture. Much like primer for painting, it ensures that a person has a smooth, even, uniformly colored surface on which to apply cosmetics, and helps them adhere properly to the skin. It's generally made from materials such as waxes, polymers, and silicone, and often contains extra ingredients for SPF protection. There are a variety of area-specific and problem-specific primers: for instance, one for lips can keep lipstick from feathering, and a tinted one can make a splotchy complexion look better. Though makeup can look fine without using these products, it generally won't last as long and may not have quite as polished a look.

When I need to bring in the big guns though like for my under eyes I use MAC Cosmetics Prime & Prep. It is a number one amazing experience and I am in love with the coverage as well as control I have when I use it. I am so excited to share it with you as well as the other primers in the top 5 list!
So many of you may think that is great but is it necessary. In my opinion yes it is for sure necessary! You want to make sure you have a long lasting foundation experience. For me my experience has been that my foundation lasts longer and I look so much better in pictures because my foundation is smooth.
Going back to MAC Prime & Prep I use either a foundation brush or my clean fingers to apply it. A simple sweep makes it perfect and I am ready to apply my foundation. I hope you love it as much as I do!
Success & Beauty,
xo Liz

Email me and your question could be featured next on ASK LIZ!

I am so excited to share the first ASK LIZ because I love answering your questions! This will be a great opportunity for me to help you get all the information you will need to get your gorgeous back with Liz Everett Style. I get to start with a beauty question from a friend of mine the really is having trouble with shopping for cosmetics. Girlfriend you know that is the vain of our existence when a new product comes out and we have no idea where to start.
Q: I keep seeing BB & CC Creams on all the shelves at the drug store and in magazines. What is the difference and how do I know which one to buy?
Amanda B., Florida
A: It all depends on what you want as far as coverage. BB creams are considered a multi-tasking agent that serves as a primer, tinted moisturizer and many things all in one. All BB Creams have a great broad spectrum of SPF coverage and are very light feeling on the skin. Created 50 years ago in Germany by Dr. Catherine Schrammek BB cream was originally created to heal skin after skin peels.
My Top 5 BB Cream Picks:
1. Garnier BB Cream $20 Available +ULTA Beauty
I wear this product everyday. Because my skin is a little dry at times I add a dollop of cocoa butter or facial moisturizer to add a little fatness to the formula. It gives me a lot of freedom and serves as a great base for my daily look. It was also listed in Allure as a top pick.
2. +Bobbi Brown UK Bobbi Brown BB Cream $42 Available +Neiman Marcus
Picked by +Sephora as a best for sensitive skin I recommend this formula for aging skin as well.
3. +Smashbox Cosmetics Camera Ready BB Cream $20 Available +Beauty.com
Chosen by +Marie Claire as a top pick and by +Sephora as a best for shine control you can also get this product at Sephora.com
4. +The Body Shop All in One BB Cream $20 Available www.TheBodyShop-USA.com
Also featured by +Marie Claire I love The Body Shop cosmetics as a whole. They have amazing blends, colors and tons of great products to choose from.
5. +Too Faced Cosmetics Air Buffed BB Creme $39 Available +Beauty.com
I have loved all of the products I used in the past from Too Faced. Their foundations are true to color and airy. I think you will love this formula too!
As for CC creams they are a heavier coverage formula. Developed to cover age spots and acne CC creams is better for people who desire a heavier coverage because BB cream would best be described as a tinted moisturizer.
From discoloration to unhealthy tinting you must first know that CC stands for Color Correction. BB is short for Beauty Calm or Blemish Balm. Where CC cream corrects color and is a heavier coverage BB cream is targeting moisturize and priming.
CC cream is a refined formula. It is a great option for women who want an easy one step coverage rather than multiple steps of great coverage. Both formulas were created to cut out the extra steps but ladies don't forget we all have individual skin needs.
Although I use a great BB cream I am still a concealer junky as well. You have to do what is best for you no matter what kind of formulas or processes you decide are best for you. I would also go to a couple of different cosmetic counters to ask them if you can try some of their different formulas.
My Top 5 CC Cream Picks:
1. Lumene Time Freeze Anti-aging CC Cream $15 Available +ULTA Beauty
No matter what your age is it is time for you to get your gorgeous back. I am a huge fan of formulas that market to anti-aging and are really conscious of the needs of aging skin. This formula was featured by +Marie Claire as well and will not disappoint.
2. Lorac Cosmetics CC Cream $28 Available +Beauty.com
From amazing lip glosses to foundation formulas be sure to try this formula because it is sure to be a great addition to your beauty routine. Featured as a top pick in +Marie Claire I think you will love this CC cream!
3. Peter Roth Thomas $48 Available +Sephora
Talk about a great line! I first heard of this line from +Platinum Product Junkies about a year ago. Every product in this line is truly amazing. This CC cream was also chosen by +Sephora as a top pick for firming your skin.
4. Olay Tone Correcting CC Cream $19.99 Available +Target
Although Olay is usually a skin care line their foundation formulas are full of moisture and highly recommended for anti-aging as well as skin correction. Picked by +Allure as a feature in the 17 Best BB & CC Creams this formula is a great value.
5. Stila Cosmetics Stick CC Cream $38 Available +ULTA Beauty
I love stick foundations and this CC Cream is a sure bet. Stick foundations in all forms give you a great camera ready look that may have a heavier coverage but it is also light on the face. This formula was featured in +Marie Claire and is a great way to get a little glam in your makeup bag.

All That Glitters #BeautyEdition
All That Glitters #Beauty #Edition #Blog #beauty #makeup #holiday by lizeverettstyle featuring a sparkle eyeshadow
Well ladies the news is in and it is time to glitter all the way with your holiday glam! Glitter is the hottest word of the day when it comes to beauty and fashion this holiday season. My twitter was blowing up when I started asking my fellow beauty experts & makeup lovers what their go to makeup must haves were for the holiday season. Every single person mentioned makeup with some form of glitter in it.
From glitter eyeliner to loose sparkle dust it's your time to shine at your holiday parties and events! When it comes to glitter eyeliner which was first recommended to me via Twitter by +Motives® Cosmetics & Co-founder of MarketAmerica.com +Loren Ridinger I am in love with Starry Eyes which is a gorgeous silvery liner that will have you looking totally glam.
Don't get caught up in thinking how will I ever make shiny cosmetics work in pictures? As long as you powder is super matted the portions of your face that are full of shine will illuminate the picture. It is a celebrity carpet secret using illuminators, great shades of bronzers which all have shine within them to help create depth, and glitter laden eye shadow that makes the eye crease just pop. Think of yourself as a celebrity this holiday season.
I want to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone this holiday season. If you are not totally comfortable with lots of sparkle all over your eyes a glitter liner is a great way incorporate a little glamour into your party look. I would also recommend +Too Faced Cosmetics loose glamour dust in Pink Fire or Blue Angel. Take a larger eye shadow brush like 03 or 06 in the Wayne Goss makeup brush set recommended by +Beautylish and dust the inner corners of your eye. Then swipe the light dust gently on the bottom of your eye crease as well. This beauty statement really looks hot with a smokey eye. The idea is to just a tad sparkle and glitter to your overall appearance/
My beauty pal and fellow makeup artist +Janice Tunnell who is the co-founder of +Illusions Cosmetics also recommended the shimmer in eye dust from their collection. Brass and plum are the two colors I would wear to rock a glamorous smokey eye that has some glittery effect. I am a huge fan of eye shimmer at all times of the year for nightlife events. I think Janice will agree with me ladies when I say that your holiday beauty statement should be fun, glamorous and full of sparkle. It is about time that we all stepped out feeling fabulous this year. Get your glitter on with these great makeup pieces!
Go For It Girls! Shine Baby Shine!
Here is my top 5 product list for Holiday Glam:
- +Too Faced Cosmetics Glamour Dust
- +Urban Decay Cosmetics Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner
- Gorgeous Cosmetics 'Colour Flash'in Glitter Ruby
- +Motives® Cosmetics Glitter Eyeliner
- +Urban Decay Cosmetics Stardust Lipgloss
