I am not the biggest make-up person in the world….which is funny because I love make-up…I just don’t know how to put it on; until now! Below are some of my must haves for December because all of these items are “Rochelle Proof,” meaning that I can’t mess anything up with these products lol

I just started wearing foundation a couple of months ago because I wanted more of a flawless, finished look to my face but the problem with using foundation is that it can sometimes look caky. So I recently purchased 4 different foundation brushed at Ulta and out of the 4 brushes I fell in love with the Real Technique Expert Face Brush. This brush is specifically for blending of cream/moisturizer and liquid foundation. It is a firm brush for broad application over your face; so it will take about 4 brush strokes to cover your whole face. The maker of Real Techniques has awesome step by step tutorials for using her brushes; so I would definitely check that out! www.realtechniques.com

My next favorite must have is the Tarte Smooth Operator Concealer that is waterproof! I tend to have dark circles and this is the best concealer that I have used in a really long time because it is waterproof; so that means that I don’t have to apply more than once a day from day to evening look. I recommend going at least 2 shades lighter than your skin to give you a more refreshed look!

My last must have for December is the 24 Hour Color Tattoo from Maybelline in Painted Purple. This is such a fun color for night or day; you can apply the shadow with your finger over the eyelid and poof! you are done! This product comes in over 15 different colors. Anywhere from golds to greens….perfect for New Years!

Every morning when I wake up, I wash my face and put on moisturizer, which I thought was the right thing to do and then I put my make-up on and by noon it looked like I didn’t have anything on my face.

So I decided to go to the MAC counter at Scottsdale Fashion Square to figure out what was going on and low and behold I found out that I needed a prep+primer before I applied my make-up. Some of you reading this might think that I am a dork and I should have known this already but I didn’t 🙂 So I went home very excited to try my new purchase and I did a little experiment. I put my moisturizer on, my new primer and then make-up and 6 hours later, after I did a short work-out, put together some outfits for my blog and made dinner….drum roll please……………my make-up still looked freshly applied and untouched!!!!

I highly recommend going out and buying the MAC Prep+Prime and when you do purchase this magnificent item let me know what you think!

Prime on ladies! <3
