Contouring is everywhere. Ever since Kim K and beauty bloggers started sharing the secrets to get a DIY nose job, every make up artist and brand have hopped on the trend. Today, I'm sharing a Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Collection review. I'm not a huge fan of the heavily contoured look, but these projects are perfect for getting a natural, flawless defined look. I wanted to share how the entire process, from start to finish, as well as some tips for pulling off a natural contour makeup look.
Here are all the products I used:

Step 3: Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Face Palette
The new
Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Face Palette is a gorgeous set of cream colours. First, I took some of the contour colour with my fingers and dragged it along my cheekbones. I then took a plain blush brush (I find the Real Techniques Sculpting brush works best) to blend it out in tiny circular motions. Next, I used my pinky to gently dab some of the illuminating cream shade on the tops of my cheekbones, down my nose and above my cupid's bow. I found picking the product up with my fingers really allowed it to blend, but I could always use my
beautyblender again too! Lastly, I swished my blush brush into the blush colour of the
Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Face Palette, over the apples of my cheeks for an innocent, natural rosy glow! Colour 20 is great for light skin tones, or if you're hoping to get a more natural contour look.
Step 4: Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Lip
The most innovative product from this line is the
Make Up For Ever Pro Sculpting Lip. I started by applying the creamy, pigmented lip crayon all over my lips. I loved that it was mechanical, and unlike my Nars pencils, the cream pencil was super easy, as it sharpened on its own and applied like a dream.
I love this time of year, especially when school wraps up and I can start packing away winter clothes for good. I wore this outfit - a chambray shirt with pink skirt when I went out to celebrate finishing exams with my mother. We went to Mamma Grazzi's in Ottawa, an Italian restaurant with a gorgeous patio in an old courtyard. It was sunny and so gorgeous, I was glad I changed out of my "exam taking outfit" and into a cute skirt and flats.
I'm wearing a chambray shirt from Old Navy, a pink skirt from J. Crew, black lace-up flats from Old Navy (old, similar style here), a horshoe-shaped bag from Aldo and purple mirror Ray-Ban aviators.

It's the first weekend of Coachella, and while I'm personally in my PJ's, studying for my law school exams this weekend, I'm having serious FOMO of all the parties and concerts in Coachella Valley. While it's finally warming up here in Ottawa, I was excited to style pieces part of the Pandora Festival Collection with some spring favourites for a casual look.

April in Paris sounds like a good idea right now, because as I write this outside my window, all I can see are snow-covered rooftops and slushy streets. I've been dying to transition into a cute spring dress, trench and heels. I wore this Banana Republic shirt dress with warm tights and TOMS booties for a transitional look. While I can't wait to wear this dress with bare legs and lace up flats and a sun hat, for now, I love the way this dress looks with a wool topper and booties.
