Life is only as good as your mindset. If you find yourself stuck…change your routine, change your circle & channel the energy you want around you. There is no amount of money or likes that can help you achieve inner peace. You gotta work for it.✌?

If you had to choose what your favorite part of the makeup process is, what would it be? Leave me a comment??That’s honestly one of the hardest questions to ask any makeup lover but I would probably say foundation. It’s the base to any great makeup application. If you are an OG friend on my page, you guys have prob seen or heard me rave about this foundation. @makeupforeverus #UltraHD liquid is a satin finish medium but buildable high definition foundation that works for all skin types. Aside from reaching for this foundation for personal use, it was also my go-to for shoots and bridal makeup. It gives off a very natural but flawless finish. It is available in 40 shades catering to a variety of undertones & a wide shade range. I’m often asked whats an HD foundation? It’s an advanced technology built into the product which blurs imperfections and is undetectable under 4K lenses. Pretty cool. Have any of you guys tried it? If so, what are your thoughts?

•Foundation: @makeupforeverus Ultra HD Invisible Cover Stick foundation. One of my holy grail foundations. ( Full coverage, easily blendable, looks like second skin & photographs beautifully). The Ultra HD line was also what I stocked up my bridal kit with. It was perfect to achieve a polished & flawless look.

#giveaway Working on this natural skin glow ????. If you have been following me for some time, you know my skin constantly goes up and down. Recently I’ve seemed to lock down a pretty solid routine (which has your girl like ???) but it tends to leave my skin on the drier side. To combat that I use DREAMDUO by @GLAMGLOW. This 2-step system has a melt in serum infused with anti-aging properties & a super nourishing hyaluronic acid moisturizer. The next morning my skin always feels soft, plump & with a gorgeous radiant look. You can find the product at @Sephora or glamglow.com
___
I have teamed up with @GLAMGLOW to gift one lucky winner a year supply of DREAMDUO.

Someone pinch me. *Seriously*. I cannot believe my picture is on a @Sephora gondola with @tartecosmetics. I cried the first time one of you guys tweeted me a picture. And although I took this two days ago, it still doesn’t feel real. Trust me when I say that I’ve had my hiccups and roadblocks along this journey. I’ve often questioned if I was on the right path. But no matter how difficult it got…I stuck with it; continuously evolving & learning more about myself & just what I was capable of achieving if I tried. I promise you guys…I am just a regular shmegular girl, with curly hair, a big smile, a work ethic that I’m proud of & a believer that what is meant for you…is for you. And no one can take that away. We sometimes allow fear to block our blessings, because we’re scared of the unknown. But when you truly want something. You fight for it, work at it & figure out a way to make it reality. Thank you so much to @tartecosmetics for this amazing opportunity & to every one of you guys for believing in me and allowing me into your phones & into your hearts. Love you all so much ❤️ #tartecosmetics #sephora #slaywithclay #makeupbydenise #wemadeitfam

Back home from the Hamptons & already missing the bestie @tenipanosian. Even though there is an entire country between us, not a single day goes by that we don’t text. We celebrate each tiny milestone together and I can’t imagine how I’ve made it all of these years without you. Breaking down every aspect of life, sharing our opinions and just analyzing the world around us…has become our thing! This world is crazy as hell ?. True friendships are hard to come by. But if you have a real one in your corner, shoot them a text and remind them how truly special they are and how much you appreciate them. ❤️ #mnybeautybash
