#NoMirrorMakeup 3 Beauty Products that Don’t Need a Mirror
Have you heard of the #NoMirrorMakeup challenge? The trending videos, which can be seen all over YouTube, showcase the sometimes comical process of applying makeup without the convenience of a mirror. The results are quite hilarious!
All joking aside, real life sometimes calls for mirrorless makeup applications, which is why I’ve listed three foolproof beauty products from neuLASH, jane iredale, and Amarte that go on seamlessly with or without a mirror – along with makeup artist and derm quotes to back them up.
Try a lash serum instead of a mascara
- neuLASH lash treatment can be the perfect stand in for mascara – It’s glossy, spill proof, enhances the look of fullness and volume, and can transform the appearance of brittle and thin lashes. $150,skinresearchlabs.com or Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s
“Since there’s no color, you can’t mess it up, but it enhances the look of your lashes with or without other makeup. Eyelashes look plumper and fuller, and, since they get moisturized, they look a little glossy, too.”–Andrew Sotomayor, Celebrity makeup artist
Try blending BB cream instead of foundation
- Amarte Natural Finish BB Cream: No time to blend, set, contour in the car. This elegant Korean balm acts as a sheer, finely pigmented face tint that gives dewy coverage with a few taps of the fingers – plus hydrates, brightens, protects. Great for dabbing over your day-long makeup to refresh the look and blend out any creases. Refined pigment adheres to your skin and won’t rub off on shirt collars or clothing. $65, AmarteSkinCare.com
“This essential time saver hydrates, offers SPF protection, brightens and delivers a youthful glow with its foundation-like properties. If you’re in a pinch, your BB Cream can replace your serum, moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning, too. I wouldn’t recommend that every day, but when you’re in a hurry, it’s a huge advantage.” – Dr. Craig Kraffert, board certified dermatologist and president of Amarte
Try a lip and cheek stain instead of lipstick and blush
- jane iredale Forever Red Just Kissed® Lip and Cheek Stain: No brushes needed! This multipurpose, non-drying stain adjusts to your skin’s own chemistry for an irresistible pink, peach or red shade that will flatter your unique undertone. It uses all natural ingredients to enhance natural coloring. Olive butter, avocado butter and wild rose wax soothe and soften lips; while rose flower wax and beeswax nourish and moisturize. It’s non-drying, and adjusts. $25, janeiredale.com
“A classic cherry red with a semi matte finish is a must have to glam up every woman’s makeup wardrobe this season – And it can be simple!” – Natalie Soto-Carlisle, jane iredale Global Educator

Summer Beauty Must Haves @janeiredale
A eyeliner that rivals Bobbi Brown? Yes, it is true, my Jane Iredale eyeliner has replaced my Bobbi Brown. It is just that much better. The black is blacker and stays on way longer without smudging. They also have a beautiful skincare line that I am dying to try! Here are some of the key summer must haves.
Apple
Apples are known to contain anti-oxidants which help in cell re-building and cell rejuvenation. This also helps you in maintaining healthy and glowing skin. jane Iredale Golden Shimmer Face and Body Lotion ($32, shop.janeiredale.com) uses apple extract to rejuvenate the skin with its’ firming and smoothing benefits while restoring the skin’s moisture balance and protecting from moisture loss.
Avocado
Avocado oil is easily absorbable and thus penetrates deep into your skin, leaving it well-cleansed, nourished and baby-soft. This helps accelerates the new cell generation and also helps promotes circulation in the body and skin. Avocados are also known for their ability to increase the soluble collagen in the skin. jane iredale Lip Fixation ($30, shop.janeiredale.com) uses avocado oil in the gloss to condition, moisturize, quench and nourish lips.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal contains both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and as such is ideal for sensitive skin and to treat a variety of skin disorders (i.e sunburns, eczema and poison ivy). jane Iredale Liquid Minerals™ A Foundation ($50, shop.janeiredale.com) uses oatmeal to help calm the skin and reduce pore size for an even flawless finish. -
5 Beauty Brands to Try this Month
I like to switch up my beauty routine every so often. Usually it is when seasons change or when a new perfume is launched. You change your whole vibe just by using a new perfume or lipstick. A lot of girls I know stick to what ‘works’ for them like red, nude or maroon nail polish ONLY and nothing else. But TRY and expand your beauty palette. Don’t be one of those people who never try new things!
1. Jane Iredale Mineral Make Up – Mineral make up is nothing new but this beautiful line of multi-tasking products give lots of reasons for you to try. The MAGIC Hour collection has pinks and golds that are warm and shimmering. Depending on the occasion, you get a natural glowing look or more of an edgy evening look. This is perfect for any skin tone and the products are easy to wear with natural ingredients in beautiful gold and rose gold packaging.
2. Adventuress Fearless Wipes – The best wipes to use anytime of the day. These non-foaming cleansing, biodegradable facial wipes act as an environmental shield to protect your skin from irritation, rash and redness. Packaged 24 wipes to a box, so you can keep some with you all the time. I like to use them for makeup removal and keep them by the bed too!
3. Acnefree Gentle Scrub Acne Cleanser – Give your apricot scrub a break and try this gentle cleanser. You can use this everyday to remove surface toxins. The smell is fresh and just avoid your eyes! Keep this in the shower and you can use it on your back, butt and elbows too!
4. Very Sexy by Victoria Secret – The sultry fragrance you know and love, now in a sleek, sophisticated new bottle.This provocative fragrance teases skin with a seductive blend of vanilla orchid, sun-drenched clementine and midnight blackberry. You will smell and carry yourself totally different! It’s like having really sexy underwear on minus the wedgies!
5. Frizz Ease 3‑DAY STRAIGHT™ FLAT IRON SPRAY– I cannot say enough great things about this amazing trigger spray. It will transform curly, frizzy hair into a straight, smooth style that lasts up to 3 days while protects against heat damage and blocks frizz. Keeps hair glossy, smooth, and swinging with body. and Oh! With Keratin.
