I'm a firm believer in the notion that's it's NOT about the price, but how you wear it. I wore this lovely little number to a dear friend's BBQ. I was comfortable, felt confident and spent the night enjoying an awesome bottle of Pinot Grigio, amazing food and even better company. Shoes // Old Nacy Jeans // Old Navy Rockstar (try them on - I swear you will love them) Top // Lillian's  However, I am not opposed to spending $27 on Nars Lipstick. This color is Heat Wave and I'm a die hard fan girl. My little gem of a necklace is from Francesca's.  Not the greatest photo, but I was pulling clothes for the #styleontheplaza look book and I started going crazy over this coat. I didn't want to look at the price tag - I was expecting it to cost $300+. Let's just say I did a victory dance, $99 my friends! Expect to see it this fall (on my person)!  A casual Friday look from work. Blouse is from h&m and jeans are Mother. I also love my Cate Katan necklace. M...

We did it! 5.10.2014 came and went. It was the most magical, perfect, beautiful day of my life. I've been getting a lot of questions about what my day was like, who my vendors were and what were my favorite parts of the day. I don't want to overload you with details, so once a week {or let's be honest, when life allows - we close on the house we built next week!} I'll be posting about our wedding!  First up: Getting Beautiful. Maggie Kerr of  Wide Eyed Beauty I knew that hair and makeup were going to be a huge part of my big day. I needed to feel beautiful and confident. I wanted to look like me, just a better version. I partnered with Gina and Maggie of  Wide Eyed Beauty , they are both Ford makeup artists,to make my hair and makeup dreams come true. They 500% exceeded my expectations.   Maggie Kerr , kindly gave me a list of her must-haves for my bridal look! -Laura Mercier Primer -Cle de Peau Concealer -NARS Pressed Powder...

Just a little paint I'm currently wearing on my face. I recommend the Nars Suede Lip Pencil, a million times over, in Hyde Park. It's the most gorgeous red/berry color. I also just started using Benefit's Erase Paste. This creamy concealer has a peach undertone that really does erase the blueish tones from under my eyes. I am addicted to cult classics Nars Laguna and Orgasm and I can't live without a good highlighting and contouring palette.

I put this on About Face's Facebook page and thought I would share it on my blog too. One of my favorite beauty blogs is maskCARA , she has the most helpful hints and is so informative! My favorite under eye concealers are: All products above are available at About Face . For inquries or questions message us on Facebook   or e-mail me at info@aboutfacerochester.com xx "Usually dark circles come with some form of puff. The problem comes when you cover just the dark circle under your eye. Aside from the risk of looking like you’ve been wearing tanning bed  goggles you have to deal with the concealer actually bringing out and drawing attention to your bags…but you don’t want the dark stuff to show either! What to do?! Let me suggest applying the concealer in a pie piece under your eye instead. This way you cover the darkness and create a little arrow direction the attention right to your eyes and evening out your cheek in the meantime. Tot...

I'm the girliest of girls when it comes to makeup and products. I can literally impluse purchase 4 lipglosses and not think twice about it. However, I do have a few tried and true products that you will never find me without. Dior Show mascara being and a rich creamy brown eyeliner (brand doesn't matter here!). I do must of my purchasing from  Sephora  - like Nars, TanTowel, Marc Jacobs perfume, and all my Time Balm products! You can't really go wrong.
