My FAVORITE place to get makeup tips and inspiration is a blog called Maskcara.com. I use almost all of her product recommendations. See my favorite post from her HERE.
Here’s specifically what I used for my hair and makeup for Take 5:
1. Marilyn Teasing Comb (Salon)
2. Sassy (Real) Hair Extensions (Sally Beauty Supply)
3. Conair Curling Iron (Target)
4. Kenra Hot Spray (Beauty Brands)
5. Loreal Lumi Foundation (CVS)
6. Milani Bronzer in “Fake Tan” (CVS)
7. Dream Bouncy Blush in “Fresh Pink” (CVS)
8. ELF Baked eyeshadow in “Bark” (Target)
9. Loreal Black Eyeliner (CVS)
10. Lumi Concealer (CVS)
