A Makeup Quest...

Many of you know I have been a Mary Kay consultant for almost five years now. However, that does not mean I know everything there is to know! I love learning about new products, why they're great, and how they work. So, I have decided to go on a quest (and take you guys with me) to figure out more about our actual products. I hope you enjoy :)

Let's get started with EYES: I absolutely love our Lash Love mascara but was looking for something more. So, I started using our fairly new Lash Primer (silver tube). I LOVE IT. (Just because I sell MK does not mean I am scared to say if I don't like something.) The Lash Primer can be worn alone (what?!) as a clear mascara which helps separate and give a more defined look to your lashes without any color. However, it is a primer, meaning it primes a specific area for application. So, I use the Lash Love mascara over top the Lash Primer and have seen a tremendous change! Those of you who know me know I have ...well...basically no eyelashes and those I do have are pretty translucent so it is important that I highlight that area with color.

Due to me having short, almost translucent eyelashes, I am super excited about our new Lash and Brow Building Serum. You apply this at night to the base of the eyelashes on your eyelid. Here are some of the perks:

Builds thicker-, fuller-looking lashes while improving the look of thin, sparse lashes and brows.  See results in just 30 days.

• Lashes seem more voluminous.
• Lashes look maximized
• Brows look healthier.
• Helps reduce lash loss during makeup removal.

Do I really need primer? YES. You need primer for lots of areas when applying makeup. You need an eye primer (for your lids) because you don't have pores on your eyelids meaning your makeup is literally going to fall off your eyelids if you don't have an adhesive property to hold it on. You need a foundation primer because it allows the foundation to "stick" to your face and reduces problems with your foundation falling off your face as well.

Ok, that's enough for today but I'd love for you to share your fav MK products with me in a comment!
