I recently shared my everyday makeup routine (here), and I realized very little had changed in the way I’ve done my makeup since high school. I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing, but I thought I could stand to learn some new tricks and update my look a bit. I’m constantly doing this with my clothes, so why not do the same for my makeup?!
That’s when I reached out to my friend and celebrity makeup artist, Tonya Riner, to see if she would help me. Her clients include: Elle McPherson, Kate Upton, Annie Leibovitz, Tamara Mellon, and Tiffani Thiessen, to name a few. I knew I was going to learn A TON and it was going to be really good information! I didn’t want to keep all the information to myself, so I asked her if we could video it for the readers. SHE AGREED!!!!!
I hope you enjoy our video and learn a little bit. I know I sure did! As my son’s so sweetly pointed out, “Mom, you’re clueless!!!” Well, indeed I was. But now, thanks to Tonya, I’m a little smarter. Hahahaha!

What color did you use in Boy Brow? Blonde or Brown?
Hi Ann, She used Blonde.
What color of the matte lip crayon and 10 second eye shadow did you use?
Hi! The Matte Lip color is Sadona Sands. The 10 Second Eye Shadow color is Globe. HTH!
THANK YOU! I learned so much from this. Before all the sheltering time, I wore makeup very single day. Not so much right now… What a refreshing way for me to approach makeup in the time of quarantine! Also, I used to do the moisturizer/ cover up trick with my under eye circles in high school, but forgot about it after so many years. How? It is brilliant!
Tonya and Carly- I loved the demonstration of the application techniques. Thank you both!
Thanks for watching, Ginni!! Yes, I’m approaching makeup in a whole new way now during this time, too! I haven’t worn eyeliner since this whole thing started, and it’s so fun and refreshing! Thanks for your comment!
