This Sydney-based make-up artist is queen of the ethereal, glowing face. I have no doubt you’ll want to go out and get yourself a Yves Saint Laurent Touche Éclat after you’re done sifting through her photos of perfectly highlighted faces.

I don't fully understand Instagram.....is it only followed on your phone or can you follow from your computer?

Ariel Tejada appeared in a recent Shay Mitchel youtube video. I picked up some good tips because he often works with celebs similar to my colouring. His IG account isn't that informative though as he just has a lot of pics but low on technique explanation.

I like the look with the natural freckles peeking through! Not a fan of that heavy Ariel look.

I am happy with BH too! I am getting too old to follow the latest trends, and tend to stick to the tried and true that seems to work for me.
