Ha! I can't say I fully agree with this catchy title, but I loved chatting foundation hacks with beauty editor Rachel Lapidos at Well+Good. She says, "I’ve never been a foundation person. Hear me out: Although I have blemishes on the reg, hyperpigmentation, and incoming fine lines that I absolutely want to hide, I’ve just never liked how foundation looks on my skin." If you can relate, tap here to get my tips on how to look make your skin look polished without covering it wit

This beauty is now up on Well+Good and my makeup tips are featured! I was psyched to share about this because I love me some white eyeliner! Used to wear it in the mid 90’s, anyone else? Here's a peek at the post:⠀ “White eyeliner definitely has an eye-opening appeal,” New York City–based makeup artist Rebecca Casciano tells me. “It’s bright, bold, and a fresh take on the traditional black liquid cat-eye.” According to the makeup pro, the winged look first made its way onto

It’s finally feeling like Spring on the East Coast and if you're anything like me, you are beyond ready to transition out of your winter wardrobe and beauty routine. While you may not want to pack up your sweaters just yet, feel free to start updating your makeup to reflect the inspiration of the season-- flowers, of course! We can't help but be inspired by how they transform our world with their brightly colored blooms. Are you curious about adding some color to your makeup

During this time of life-changing resolutions and intentions to better ourselves, I want to offer you a fun alternative: new makeup! Trying something new with your makeup can actually represent a powerful act of self-care. One of the things I have learned through my many years of being a makeup artist and working with hundreds of women, is that how we look and feel about ourselves are deeply connected. When we take the time and effort to care for our appearance, we feel more

It was a pleasure to add my 2 cents to this awesome piece, The Healthy Sunscreens Beauty Experts Actually Use, for nutritionist and author Keri Glassman's Nutritious Life.

Find out which natural sunscreen me and another beauty expert/ founder are loving this season! Do you have

Loving these photos from Alden's April eco-wedding! It was such fun to design her wedding makeup together and loved that she chose to go with a bold, deep lip color. It really brought out her blue eyes and gave a nice contrast to her fair skin and bridal whites. I loved seeing it all come together with the dress and accessories, which included a crystal crown and gold cuffs.

Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a girl's empowerment event, Healthy Body & Healthy Beauty, with my dear friend, health coach Mary Chan at the Ivivva shop in Union Square. We led a group of precious 8-14 year old girls through our top nutrition and beauty advice, getting their feedback and answering questions along the way. They were all super interested in makeup and it was so fun to share healthy products and age appropriate tips with them! So grateful to Good For Yo

While I was on the West Coast, I also hosted a workshop called Exploring Beauty Through Self Love at the gorgeous new Credo Beauty in LA! As you might expect, the shop is a bit bigger than the NYC one and it's drenched in LA sunshine. They also have a chic facial room featuring Tata Harper skincare. Wish I would have taken more photos! Be sure to visit if you're in town. We had such an awesome and diverse group of women attend, including 2 sets of mothers and daughters.! So.

On February 2nd, I hosted a launch party for my newest program, Sacred Beauty Collective, at Follain in NYC. Follain is home to some of my favorite natural beauty brands, as well as where I meet my clients for one-on-one lessons. It was such fun to be there with an incredible group of women. Everyone was so warm and friendly with one another and the positive energy in the space was palpable. To begin the evening, I led us through a short meditation, then shared some of the Sa

I am so grateful to be featured in the March Issue of The Perpetual You! The online magazine is dedicated to helping women "to create Ease, Fun, Wealth, and Joy -- in their own lives and in the lives of those around them." I was honored when they chose me to represent the theme of March, Joy Through Brilliance. To explore this idea and how it relates to my work with women, we did an in-depth interview and fun photo-shoot together! As The Perpetual You's Editor, Lee Lee Thomps
