I’ve received quite a few requests lately to share more office and teacher workwear outfits since offices and schools are starting to reopen. I polled my Instagram followers recently on what clothing styles their jobs accept and 61% stated Business Casual, 30% stated Casual/Creative, and 9% stated Professional (suits expected). Personally, my office is considered business casual, and we can wear jeans when appropriate. If you are still working from home, check out my post here on tips for working from home.

: There is no right or wrong way to use a makeup brush. A makeup artist may tell you that you must only use cream products with synthetic brushes, or that you should only use powders with natural hair brushes. I may have an unpopular opinion, but I think the best way to use a makeup brush is the way you want to use them (as long as you’re gentle and frequently cleaning them). Makeup Brushes and Their Uses Alright, let’s go through the most common makeup brushes, using this set as reference.

It looked ok, but after a year or so, I hired someone to help me upgrade my site and it looked so much better! In order to thank you for supporting Fabulously Overdressed and my Instagram page and in honor of my 4th Blogiversary, I am holding a giveaway with a ton of beauty products that one person will win! On my Instagram page, like and comment on the photo of me holding the pink balloons (my blogiversary post on 3/14/21) in my feed and tag two friends who might also like to follow me in the comments! The giveaway will end on March 23, 2021 and the winner will be announced via Instagram direct message no later than March 25, 2021.

I am a huge lover of dainty and minimalist pieces, and I am continually happy with the jewelry I find. I am going to let you in on a little tip – search for 14k gold plated or 18k gold plated jewelry and you’re going to find a gold mine of amazing stuff. You’re going to love all of these dainty and minimalist jewelry finds from Amazon!

They are not marketed to be long-wearing, but we don’t always need every lip product we own to be long wearing. I think if I wanted to lighten it up, I could pair it with a cool toned gloss and it would look great. I think this is a fabulous neutral shade for deeper skin tones. I do reach for berry tones more in fall/winter, but maybe I’ll make berry a thing in spring,

My favorite shades in the caviar sticks are Metallic Taupe and Rose Nude, but there are tons of shades and finishes to choose from. Top to bottom is Laura Mercier in Metallic Taupe, CoverGirl in Lush, Kiko Milano in Rose Brown, e.l.f. in Rose Gold, and Laura Mercier in Nude Rose. Out of the three drugstore cream shadow sticks I’ve tried, I think that this one is the closest dupe to the Laura Mercier. The packaging and formula also seem super similar to Laura Mercier, and the metallic finish is lovely.

So when Pantene reached out to me and asked me to try the Pantene Nutrient Blends Hydrating Glow Collection with Baobab Essence and answer questions about my hairitage, I immediately thought of my girls as I have been passing on lessons of my own! A little about the product line: The Hydrating Glow Collection is free of sulfates, parabens, dyes and mineral oil, which is so important as I prefer to use products without the extra chemicals for me and my girls. We use the Hydrating Glow Shampoo on our wash days and it gently cleanses without stripping for a healthy, natural glow. The Hydrating Glow Collection is free of sulfates, parabens, dyes and mineral oil, which is so important!

Today is the fourth and final part to my Makeup for Beginners Series (although I do think this is a series we can keep on in the future)! I also can’t wait to share the easiest way to apply false lashes! Here’s what’s in my makeup tips for beginners series: If there are any parts of your routine you’d like me to break down even further, please let me know!

When you have makeup left on your skin and then apply moisturizer or products, there’s a potential of clogging your pores and causing breakouts or dull skin. Now, I don’t always double cleanse on days I don’t wear any makeup, but those days are rare! You can definitely use the same cleanser for both steps, but I feel the cleansing balms really help dissolve my eye makeup and leave my skin feeling softer. While it loosened some of my eye makeup, I would still have remnants of black makeup around my eyes, even AFTER my second cleansing step.
