What’s my makeup style? I like my face, my skin to be more specific, to just look like great skin, not makeup. Which is the biggest reason I bought my Dinair kit. I don’t want you to see makeup if you look at my skin, and as we all know, all makeup goes through makeup meltdown...

All the shadows used are part of an E.L.F. (Eyes Lips Face) palette I got at Target, I'm not sure if it's available anymore. This palette is the closest I could find on their site.
