Say what you want about Kim Kardashian, but her makeup is always on point! Contouring & highlighting is a simple trick makeup artists use to sculpt the face to add definition and to enhance or minimize different features of the face. It can transform the face like magic. No plastic surgery necessary. In this tutorial, I show you how I like to contour and highlight and a lot of what I do is based on what I’ve learned from looking at pictures of Kim Kardashian as well as numerous other celebrities. After learning these tricks and seeing the results you can achieve, don’t be surprised if you never go back to using just one shade of foundation all over your face ever again! 
In this tutorial I’m mainly using creams & liquids to contour & highlight which is one of my favorite methods. The products blend into the skin whereas powder can sit on top of the skill and look a bit dull. Contouring & highlight will help you look your best on camera, in your selfies, and photos! xx Jess

PERSUASION: Getting people to do things that will benefit and add value to both of your lives and experiences.
Even though that book was written with guys in mind, it’s a great source of inspiration for anyone interested in being more persuasive and more in control in their relationships. Below are my 3 Signs he’s playing you — besides the “If he’s talking to a lot of girls” or “If he has a six pack.” Girls, players come in many different shapes, sizes, and packaging. If you think the “more to love” guy will be more honest and forthright, as a former “chubby-chaser”, I can testify that ain’t always the case.

Confession: Ever since I was a little girl, I was always obsessed with the Oscars. If you saw my Draw My Life, you’ll know that as a kid I loved movies and always wanted to become an actress. The Oscars is where the kinds of movies I love are celebrated. I’ve always wondered what it’d be like to be there. Well, thanks to Jennifer Lawrence’s awesome best friend, Laura Simpson, I now have an idea!
This past week, Laura posted an essay giving a complete play-by-play of everything that goes on leading up to the event and what happens when the show is over! Thanks, girl!
