beauty: redefining perfection {with bareMinerals Complexion rescue}.

I’m going to be a bit vulnerable with you for a sec. That okay? Cool.

Growing up, I had a major insecurity. It wasn’t my weight, height, shyness, or intelligence.

I was insecure about my freckles.

My freckles have faded as I got older, but they were pretty apparent when I was a kid. Up until about the end of middle school, I absolutely loathed them. It didn’t help that my best friend growing up had a smooth, tan complexion with a perfectly placed “Cindy Crawford” mole above her lip. I felt as though I paled in comparison (literally) with my fair skin, light eyebrows/lashes, and freckles covering nearly my entire face.

Thankfully, as I got older I got over this insecurity 100%. I really credit my mom specifically – she always told me how beautiful I was (inside and out), and in general I was raised in a environment that affirmed me in so many ways. Somehow I went from hating my freckles to actually LOVING and fully embracing them!

Now that I’m in my 20s, my freckles aren’t nearly as apparent. They come out more in the summer when I’ve spent time in the sun, and I actually get excited for that now. Over the years I’ve really loved using makeup that allows me to embrace and highlight my unique features, rather than trying to cover them up.

A few weeks ago bareMinerals was kind enough to send me a ton of their products, and I was excited to take the opportunity to play around with natural makeup looks.

I got a few different eye shadow palettes – I couldn’t decide which I loved most! They were all great neutral shades that still adding a hint of glam and shimmer.

But the product I love the most (seriously – I can’t speak more highly of it) is the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue. Complexion Rescue is a smart new form of liquid lightweight coverage that actually improves your skin as you use it. How cool is that?

Complexion Rescue is not only a thirst-quenching cure-all, but it’s also available in 10 natural-looking shades to provide effortless sheer-to-medium coverage for both workday and weekend wear. Providing just the right amount of coverage, Complexion Rescue enables skin to appear more awake and even-toned due to its imperfection-diffusing properties and naturally radiant color.

Complexion Rescue combines the best of BB and CC creams & tinted moisturizer, complete with skin-loving humectants and mineral electrolytes. It applies easy with a smooth and natural coverage, while drastically improving skin hydration and texture at the same time (a very

California chic aesthetic). It really is a whole new way to think about makeup.

I want to be clear that I only speak highly of products that I genuinely do love *and use* myself, and Complexion Rescue is one of those products. I definitely suggest checking it out/learning more by visiting bareMinerals.com.

Be original. Be natural. Be good.
