Danielle taught us how to do a fun summer look by using shimmery mauves and bronzer in a proper ‘C’ fashion. We learned to apply moisturizer on the face and not to forget the eyelids! Also, concealer can work magic when trying to look younger and well-rested. And, there are great makeup lines at the drug store as well as at the high-end department stores. She advises to spend your money on a great foundation!
