Now that the weather is approaching more fall and less summer (i.e., windy and cool versus humid and sweltering), my skin is once again putting up a fight. The breakouts are tapering off however the flakiness has returned with full force. So it appears that I can never be without my trusty concealer! I try […]
Since I tend to lean towards minimalist makeup anyway, I definitely recommend paring down your full face when you travel.
