Rebecca is a beautiful, trendy, woman that I had the pleasure to meet while living in Richmond. Her makeup was, and still is, always on point! One thing Ive learned from Rebecca is to never wear cheap lipstick! Lipstick is one product that you should really invest in.
This girl really knows her stuff. She only uses the best of the best products. She's a true makeup addict! Check out her interview!

1. What is your favorite foundation?
Favorite foundation, toss up between Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick and Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk Foundation. Bobbi's Foundation stick is amazing because it comes in a wide variety of tones and the coverage is very buildable, you can use it sheer for the gym or running errands or layer your coverage for night. Plus the stick doubles as your concealer, you can use a very concentrated coverage for blemishes and you don't have to worry about blending forever because it is the same shade as your foundation. Armani's Lasting Silk is just gorgeous, the formula looks like butter on the skin, it is so smooth and glowing. The foundation has light reflecting mica particles so it gives your skin that candlelit glow and total bonus as it gives you a 12hr wear (even running around at work for 8hrs it looks flawless)
2. Favorite line of lipsticks?
My favorite line of lipsticks hands down is YSL, these lipsticks offer the truest pigment and softest finish. They have Shea butter and vitamin A and E so it feels like a Chapstick. The YSL lip stains are amazing too, they are highly pigmented and offer buildable color with a glossy finish, perfect for going out, you can makeout with your man all night and your lips won't need any touching up. The only downside to YSL lipstains, you have to take them off with eye makeup remover!
3. Favorite mascara?
I have 2 favorite mascaras, Giorgio Armani's Eyes to Kill is perfecting. It offers volume and length, gives lashes that spidery faux lash look. Second favorite is Jordana Best Lash Extreme, this is magic in a bottle. It's a very liquidy mascara so you need a steady hand not to get it everywhere but you can layer and layer and layer it on until you have insanely long doll lashes, and super bonus it's only $2.99 as opposed to Armani's $35 Eyes to Kill.
4. What is your favorite look to do? Ex. Glamorous, sultry, smokey, bronzed, natural?
My favorite look is healthy glowing skin and sparkly eye shadow. I use Bobbi Brown's BB cream to give my skin that plump healthy look. I love a sheer cream blush in coral or a rosy raspberry for that healthy flush. When I use a lot of creams on my face I skip bronzer to avoid getting that muddy consistency on my skin. Then I use Bobbi Browns sparkle eye shadow in Baby Peach, the pigment is light but the sparkle is stunning. Then I line the inside of my eye, the wet line, all around with a light brown liner, the combination of peach and brown make my blue eyes pop like crazy! This look is simple and effective.
5. What is your everyday makeup routine?
My everyday makeup routine starts with good skin care. Never ever ever skimp on eye cream or moisturizer, it'll make your makeup look so much better. After I've done my serum, eye cream, and moisturizer I use Bobbi Browns Stick Foundation all over and then go back with the same foundation using it as a concealer to cover any blemishes. Then powder, make sure you press your powder into the skin instead of sweeping it over the face, this will insure that your foundation lasts much longer. Then I love a good tinted eye brightener, I use Bobbi Browns, it eliminates any darkness and really brightens up my whole face. Then I go in with a bronzer, I love a little contour under the cheekbones, on the neck and forehead. Then I chose a blush the same tone as my skin when I get flushed. I place a glimmering highlighter on top, Mary-Luminizer from the Balm is my favorite. I sweep that on the top of my cheeks, my neglige and the tips on my shoulders. After I define my brows, I use a mahogany cake liner and an angle brush to fill them in and add a little shape. Next I use a bone color all over my eyelid to get rid of any discoloration. Depending on my mood or outfit I will do a black cat eye with benefits gel liner or a smudgy brown liner. Then sweep 4-5 coats on mascara and I'm done!
6. What is one product you can't live without?
I could not live without Bobbi Brown's buffing grains, it's customizable microdermabrasion, you can add it to any cleanser and it'll automatically make your skin look brighter and more vibrant.
7. Must have skin care products?
Must have skin care products are Chanel Sublimage cleanser, it is a little pricey but so worth it. The cleaner automatically removes any debris from your face and smooths out the texture of skin. I noticed my pores shrinking after just a week of use! I love my Bobbi a Brown hydrating eye cream, it removes any puffiness and reduces wrinkles, once you place makeup over it, you will notice a difference. I use Giorgio Armani brightening serum, it's got a ton of vitamin c that really brightens up skin and gives a glowing finish. Moisturizer is so Important, I use La Prairie's advanced marine biology day cream. This stuff is killer, it plumps the skin, clears up blemishes, hydrates, doubles as a primer, and protects the skin from any environmental damage. Tip, always put moisturizer on your neck, in the long run it'll help with the 'sagging neck effect' and gives you a healthy glow.
8. Any personal tips or advice for a fellow makeup junkie or someone who knows nada about makeup?
Clean your brushes at least 2x a month!! Bacteria will grow and cause you to break out! If your cheeks need a pick me up, dab clear lip gloss on the tops of your cheeks, you'll look bright and cheery without piling on color. Make sure when you line your eyes, your top line is always darker and thicker than your bottom line. Invest in pot rouges, these products double for lips and cheeks and give the freshest glow. If you don't have a steady hand, skip the liquid liner, it'll end up looking messy and unprofessional, opt for a gel liner, they are easier to maneuver and give the same effect. Your fingers are your best tools, nothing will blend your foundation better then your fingers. If your foundation looks light, yellow, or like it's sitting on top of your skin, place your hands on your face to warm up the product, often products need to be warmed up before they blend perfectly. If your eye shadow isn't staying, even after you've used a primer, press it in with your fingers, the pigment will stay truer longer. Try using loose eyeshadow with a wet brush, if it's sparkly it'll give a gorgeous metallic shine. Don't neglect your neck! If you use bronzer, bring it down to your neck and neglige, it's sexy and put together--no floating heads.
Plum lips look great on all skin types
10. Liquid, gel, or pencil eyeliner?
I prefer a gel liner because they generally last a lot longer and are really easy to apply.
If you're ready to step up your makeup game, follow this girl's advice!
She's been in the beauty industry for some time now so I'm pretty sure we can trust her ;)
Thanks again Rebecca!
