Samantha Asked: Will wearing SPF free gloss in the sunlight increase the potential of burning my lips since the gloss is so shiny?

Brooke Asked: Can you tell me how much product I should be applying on my face? I’m on a budget and don’t want to be using anymore than I need to.

Answer: Using the correct amount of product is a fine art. And if you’re in the habit of using too much (which many of us do), it can take some time to get used to cutting back. Because, if you’re like me, you tend to think more is better. But you could literally be washing your money dow...more

Madison Asked: I’m about to go on a beach holiday with my boyfriend. I’m worried about keeping my blemished skin covered when we go swimming. Any tips?

Liza Asked: I need a fix for oily skin. Especially in the T-zone, but all over the face during the day. I have tried everything...primper, powder..etc but I am a constant shiny face in this weather!

Answer: One thing that sucks about summer is the fact that our faces like to get their shine on and not in a good way! It would be nice if we got all shiny across our cheekbones so we could get that naturally, sculpted look but nope. Prevention is always easier than the cure, so firstly lets...more
