This is a super easy way to lift and brighten the eyes and literally takes two seconds! 🙌👏 Just use a concealer a bit lighter than your skin tone. I find that a concealer with a creamy consistency works the best.😍

I’m using the Face Pencil Stick from @jonesroadbeauty Comment STICK below and I will DM you the link for reference.

Let me know if you’ve tried this trick!🩷🩷

I was super excited for this quarter’s @ipsy Icon Box, curated by @chrissyteigen and @johnlegend and needless to say, it did not disappoint!🙌👏

When it comes to Chrissy and John, “busy” is an understatement, but this power couple makes sure self-care never takes a backseat. From whipping up dinner together to giving each other beauty treatments, they show us how to unwind with their collection. 🧖🧖‍♀️

“Self-care is a family affair at our house,” John shares about the Icon Box. “Despite our busy lives, we’re always sharing product recommendations and finding ways to pamper ourselves and each other—even if it’s just for a few moments. That’s why we were thrilled to collaborate with IPSY on the August Icon Box.”🩶🩷

Here’s everything I received in my Icon Box this quarter.👇
