Guys, I’m pretty excited about today’s post! It was SO fun to prep for, and I learned so much. I asked my friend and amazing makeup artist Carly Campbell (currently up for NAHA Makeup Artist of the Year) to review her favorite products from Nordstrom. Some are part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and some are just plain classics, so that you know exactly what’s worth stocking up on. I always say Carly is a product guru – she’s always the person I ask when I need something new and want to know what to get.
Let’s face it – we all want to figure out how to wear makeup without looking like we are wearing too much makeup! Carly is SO GOOD at that, so we decided to show you the products she loves to get that everyday look. Here’s what I looked like before Carly got started (prepare yourself for this hi-res no-makeup shot – eeek!)
