In this Get Ready With Me, I’m doing my makeup with a mix of tried-and-true favorites and a few newer finds while sharing some “get to know me” fun facts for my newer subscribers. I start with my current ride-or-die primers (and yes, I’m still squeezing every last drop out of that Ulta Matte Eye Primer like a tube of toothpaste), then I build a simple, nostalgic eye look with my Lorac Pro palette and a little extra sparkle from a Too Faced shadow crayon. We chat through the whole thing—real life, real makeup, and the products I actually reach for. I also share more about me: I’m 33 (34 this September), married, a mom to a 2 1/2-year-old (toddler phase is my favorite), and I work full-time in healthcare staffing. Faith is important to me, I’m a lifelong Baptist, and I’m also a total pug person (we’re currently a one-pug household). On the makeup side, I talk about what holds up in Kansas City heat and humidity—like the L’Oréal Skin Ink—and the little budget-friendly wins I love. And if you stick around to the end, I announce a surprise giveaway: a $50 digital gift card to Sephora or Ulta, with entry steps through YouTube and Instagram.
