New Products!

September 17, 2019

Maskcara Beauty announced SO many fun new products at our annual convention in August last month! The artists in attendance were able to snag them while we were there, which of course I did, so I’ve been enjoying them for a whole 30 days now! I don’t think I’ve stopped raving about several of them… I know you guys have heard me and are excited too!

Great news, starting Sept 17th at noon MST, you can finally order them for yourselves too! The day has come!!! I wanted to give you descriptions of the products so you know what you’re in for, especially since a couple of them are brand new to our lineup. Did I mention I’m excited??? EEK! 🙂

NEW LIP + CHEEKS!

I am in LOVE with CINDY, its such a darling pink! And I also love ROYAL on my lips! PS all US orders over $75 on the 17th will get a free royal lipstick (yes, in a tube!) while supplies last!

NEW HIGHLIGHTS (yay for more inclusivity!) & A CONTOUR!

HENNA contour is LIFE!!! This will be gold for neutral toned gals like myself in the light to medium range. And the darker highlights are an absolute buttery dream!

NEW CREAM EYESHADOWS!

To be honest, I haven’t really been able to try these out yet but the reviews from my artist friends are in and they say they’re amazing! They are cream but they dry down to a powdery finish and don’t feel like cream at all. So if you’re concerned with creasing, I don’t think that will be an issue with this!

NEW SOLID ILLUMINATING PERFUMES!!!!!

Hoe exciting is this?!? A perfume mixed with an illuminator? COME ON! I put this on my wrist, behind my ears and on my collarbones. Number 1 is my fave! It smells just like my fave Capri Blue Volcano candle! Number 2 is also delightful as well!

NEW LIP BALMS!!!!!

I mean, I don’t think i’m exaggerating here but my life has been changed! The same MILK products that you love for your skin but now for your lips and in a tin (i’m so giddy, I’m rhyming!). I thought for sure I’d be a strictly mint gal, but the cherry has really grown on me. The mint stays in my clutch and the cherry stays by my bed! I’M OBSESSED!!!

And last, NEW COMPACT DESIGNS!

Both SO pretty! Don’t make me choose a favorite!!!

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a launch. The lip balm and the perfumes are must-haves. OBVIOUSLY. Plus Henna contour and Cindy lip+cheek! Oh happy day!!!!

And if you need to be color matched, fill out THIS FORM and I’ll get right back to ya with your foundation colors! Let’s simplify your makeup routine with an all-in-one customized compact!

How to get a Maskcara Beauty color match!

May 26, 2019

So you’re interested in Maskcara Beauty and want to know how to get these amazing products in to your hands and on your face! You really want to try it but aren’t sure just quite where to start and what colors would be best for you. I get it, trying anything new can be overwhelming! But don’t stress, I’m here to answer all of your questions on how to get a Maskcara Beauty color match!

how to get a maskcara beauty color match makeup brush makeup palette tauritucker.com

There are 2 ways to get your personalized Maskcara Beauty colors:

IN-PERSON

Come on over girl! I love having people over to be color matched! We will apply the makeup on your face until we get it just right. Get all of your questions answered and I’ll even give you the chance to try some techniques on yourself. You get to see and touch all of the products to figure out exactly what you want! Plus girl-time chit chat and possibly even a visit from my cute kiddos 🙂 This is the most accurate way to be matched!

ONLINE

No one appreciates the convenience of online shopping in your jammies more than me. So trust me, I’m not offended when you say you’d rather be matched online! We all have busy lives and its not always convenient or possible to make it to a party! Or perhaps your no where close to me in location but still want me to be your artist! Online could not be easier and with 2.5 years of experience, I’m pretty good at it too!

In order to be matched online, all I need from you is a selfie! Simple enough, right? There are some guidelines but by following them you will receive the most accurate online match possible! This is exactly what I need from you:

SELFIE INSTRUCTIONS

During daylight, stand in front of a well (but indirectly) lit window.
Face the window and stand back 2-3 feet. It is important that the sun is not directly on your face so you’re neither blown-out nor shadowed.
Turn off all surrounding artificial lights. They can affect the coloring, even if it is behind you.
Be sure to be makeup-free so I can see your natural coloring including any texture and areas of concern. Eye and brow makeup can be left on.
Snap a pic or two that includes your face, neck and upper chest. It is important I take each of those areas in to consideration so I can make sure they all match!
Make sure the pics represent what you feel to be your true coloring!
Submit the pic(s) to me over on THIS form

color match picture how to get a maskcara beauty color match tauritucker.com

And that is it! I will be in touch via email within 24 hours with your customized Maskcara Beauty product suggestions! I will also include direct links to purchase so you can literally go right from my email to the website in one click. Once you have placed your order, it ships for FREE directly to you!

WE’VE GOT YOUR BACK!

I may be pretty darn good at both in-person and online color matching BUT I am not perfect. None of us are! And that’s why we have our amazing no questions asked 30 day return/exchange policy!! I’ve not done my job entirely until you are happy with the colors we have chosen for you. So on the off chance that I get it wrong, we will work together until we get it right. Be sure to keep me posted!

Now that you know exactly how to get a Maskcara Beauty color match, what are you waiting for?

Mothers Day Eyeshadow Look

May 9, 2019

Before creating this Mothers day eyeshadow look, I didn’t have too much of an idea what I wanted to do. Only, what colors I wanted to use. Maskcara Beauty released their Mother’s Day bundles a week or so ago and I’ve felt so excited to create from them! The Glowing Shadows eyeshadow bundle is soooo good! This combo of colors came together so beautifully and I’m now I’m the chief counselor at Camp Everyone-a-needs-this!

mothers day eyeshadow look glowing shadows bundle from maskcara beauty tauritucker.com

GLOWING SHADOWS BUNDLE

This bundle comes with 4 eyeshadow colors at 2.5 grams each, which is HUGE! Much bigger than the other high quality eyeshadow singles on the market. Super buttery, super pigmented and long lasting. The colors are Cupcake (matte creamy vanilla), Lullaby (matte pretty mauve, Filly (matte chocolate brown) and As You Wish (shimmery shifty butter yellow-magenta). The bundle also included a square magnetic compact, which will hold each of the shadows perfectly. And the Blend and Tap double sided brush! This is one of our newest brushes and it has quickly risen to the top for me as far as eyeshadow brushes go. So good for blending and getting in to that crease while buffing out at the same time. I love the rounded end for putting a shimmer in to my inner corner. And the more flat end is my fave for putting a wash all over my lid.

eyeshadow quad blend and tap brush maskcara beauty mothers day 2019 tauritucker.com

Another thing I love about this bundle and this particular combination of colors is how versatile they all are. In the past I’ve used each one of them on their own and in different combinations with each other. I’ve used Cupcake, Lullaby and Filly several times a week since they’ve been released because they are my actual staples. You probably already know that if you’ve ever asked me for eyeshadow recommendations! As You Wish is a new discovery for me, as I hadn’t used it since it was released…not for anything but an arm swatch anyway. But it’s actually insane, in the prettiest way! It looks very unassuming in the tin, kind of like a creamsicle color. You can’t even tell its a shimmer! But once you apply, it transforms, ranging from a gorgeous butter yellow shade, to a nude, to a softer pink and then magenta, at its darkest. It’s a mind-trip! And I AM HERE FOR IT!

MOTHERS DAY EYESHADOW LOOK

As soon as the kind comments started rolling in about this look over on instagram, I knew I wanted to make a post out of it. This has by far been my most popular look ever! And when you guys start getting your orders for this bundle, I want you to be able to recreate it! So I’m gonna tell ya exactly what I did!

mothers day eyeshadow look using maskcara beauty glowing shadows bundle tauritucker.com

HOW I DID IT

First thing I did was prime my lid using an eyeshadow primer and I used Cupcake eyeshadow to set it and neutralize my lid. (I’ve been using this primer lately and I like it!) I used the wider end of the Blend and Tap brush to do this. I start nearly every look this way!

Then I put Lullaby in the outer part of my crease and out part of my lower lash line, blending and defusing inward. For this, I used the rounded end of the Blend and Tap brush. The outer corner should be the darkest and most saturated! Blend blend blend that baby so there are no harsh lines!

Next, I used Filly and the Hotline brush to create a wing and liner on both lids. I sprayed the sharp end of the Hotline brush with Stay spray. That adds some staying power but it also makes a powder more pigmented (tip: try it with a shimmer for some serious glitz!). When creating a wing, be sure to leave your eye open so you can create based on what it will look like when your eye is open! I added a bit of this on the outer corner of the lower lash line as well, to tie the lids together.

Last, I used my finger to tap As You Wish in to the inner corner of my eye and on to the mobile lid. I kept adding more until I was happy with the pigment (using your finger helps with color payoff!). Add your fave mascara. My fave mascaras are this for more natural lashes or this for a little extra drama.

THE HUSBANDS REACTION

I knew when my husband got home from work and told me “I love the makeup Babe! You just might get lucky tonight!” that it was a winner! I felt really pretty 🙂 And that’s what every momma wants for Mothers Day! And you guys have been SO kind and responsive to this look and I can’t think you enough for making me feel so good. I might as well quit now because I don’t know if it can be topped! Just kidding!!! Not going anywhere… I’ll just be rocking this every day for the rest of forever.

Of course what brings it all together is the foundation. An eye look can be pretty but it will be swallowed up and go unnoticed if the foundation isn’t solid! *insert architecture joke here* I like my makeup to look like skin and Maskcara Beauty is the first makeup I’ve ever used that delivers in every way I expect and more. You can read all about the many reasons I love it HERE. And guess what…I can color match you to your customized colors and teach you all about it!

Hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day!

What to buy during the Sephora VIB sale 2019!

May 1, 2019

Walking in to a Sephora store can be SO overwhelming! I feel like I’m fairly well versed in the beauty world and even I start to feel the heavy-breathing-blurry-vision-head-spinning if I don’t go in there with a little bit of purpose. If that is you, then I’m here to help ya out! Here you will find my 2019 Sephora VIB Sale picks!

top 10 Sephora purchases vib sale tauritucker.com 2019

With the VIB sale going on, theres not a better time to snag a few things you’ve been wanting or needing. And if you need some direction, here are my faves! (Rouge members get 20% off and can shop now through May 1st! VIB 15% off and Insiders 10% off can shop May 2nd – May 6th!)

TOP 10 FAVORITE SEPHORA PURCHASES

Herbivore Botanicals Lapis Oil – Lapis oil has been great for my calming irritated and acne-prone skin. Blue tansy has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and is in the chamomile family. Just imagine how soothing chamomile tea is to your bod, this does that for your skin! Miracle ingredient! I’ve repurchased this twice now. It’s so good!
Shiseido Benefiance eye cream – I’ve tried my fair share of eye creams at many different price points and I feel like you get what you pay for with this one. It’s worth every penny! My under eye makeup hardly creases and the whole area stays hydrated and healthy looking. Plus you can use it both under and on your eyelids! This is my fave!
Drunk Elephant C-Firma serum – I wanted to hate this product because of the price point but here we are. Obviously I don’t hate it and I actually am obsessed! Theres just no denying the brightening results. My skin also feels more firm and the ingredients work to diminish the appearance of aging. Yes please!
Pharmacy sheet masks – If you’re a sheet masker, treat yourself to one of the best fitting sheet masks I’ve found. The brighting one leaves me extra glowy and the leftover serum makes a nice treatment once the mask is removed. Pamper yourself!
Ole Henriksen Cold Plunge Pore Mask – Read all about my thoughts on this mask on this post but quick recap, this is one of my acne fighting essentials! Great for detoxing and purifying congested skin!
Laniege Lip Sleeping Mask – This is an infinite repurchase. I use this both morning and evening and have for a year and a half. I often take it with me when I leave the house because I just don’t want to have to know a life without it! Even once it has soaked in, my lips feel hydrated and healthy. One jar lasted me over a year!
Summer Fridays R+R mask – this mask is packed with fatty oils and vitamins as well as a physical exfoliating ingredient so its like a 2 -in -1 mask. Once you’ve removed dead skin cells with exfoliation, the oils do their work to hydrate and heal and restore. I really loooove the way my skin looks and feels after I use this!
Isle of Paradise self-tanning drops – Self-tanning doesn’t get easier than this. I add a drop or two to my nightly moisturizer and apply it just as I normally would. No mits or any other inconveniences required! The color is a true warm tan, not orange at all. Everyone loves a good tan but not at the expense of your skins health. Make sure to use sunscreen and get your glow this way instead!
Youth to the People Superberry Dream Mask – this is a sleeping mask so I use this in place of my moisturizer and wake up to plump, hydrated, firm, BRIGHT skin. This mask is goooood!
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment 15 SPF – It’s tricky to find a lip protecting product that doesn’t leave a white cast so this was a good find! It has a hint of color so you can protect and look fly at the same time! My fave color is Rose.

TOP MAKEUP PICKS

When I was preparing for this post, I noticed almost everything I loved and wanted to include was a skincare item so I figured I’d just make a separate graphic for my fave makeup purchases. There isn’t much because I get almost all of my faves from MASKCARA but here are some products I think are worth your money!

my sephora top makeup products vib sale tauritucker.com favorite makeup products from sephora

Stila Glitter and Glow mini set – almost every time they put out a new set, I have to snag it. You get 3 mini’s for the price of 1 full size! Unless you’re using it everyday, it will dry out before you get to use all of it anyway so the mini’s are way better! Plus these sets are a great way to try multiple colors. This one is really exciting to me because I’ve yet to try any of their red options!
Milk Makeup Blur and Set powder – I love this powder because it doesn’t make me look matte. I love dewy skin but there is a difference between dewy and oily (which I struggle with occasionally). When my skin is going through an oilier phase, this powder is my knight in shining armor because it takes away the shine but still leaves me looking like skin! I don’t love powders in general but this is my only exception.
Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche lipstick – if you’re looking to treat yourself to a nice lipstick, this is a really good one! It’s a thick creamy formula that is neither matte nor shiny, the perfect in-between. I’ve found that it doesn’t bleed or crack/separate either. It’s just a really good quality lipstick and it comes in so many beautiful shades! Chai is my fave.

MY WISHLIST

This is another short section and there are a couple reasons for that. First, most of the things that are high up on my list to try are from smaller brands that aren’t carried at Sephora. Second, the things I am tempted to try are newer and I don’t want to purchase until I’ve heard more reviews! Don’t feel tempted to buy anything JUST because its on sale! If I don’t have a need for it, I try not to get sucked in! Pep-talking myself there 😉 HA!

my sephora vib sale wishlist products I want to buy during the sephora vib sale 2019 tauritucker.com

The Inkey List Multi-Biotic moisturizer – Honestly, I want to try just about everything from this brand! But if I had to pick just one thing that is different from anything else I have in my collection, this is it! It’s a pH balanced lightweight moisturizer that combines pro, pre and post-biotics to improve uneven dull skin and fight aging and oily skin. It honestly sounds like a dream product!
Drunk Elephant Get Even kit – This is a 5 piece set of mini products, several of which have been on my list to try. Drunk Elephant is a pricier brand so this seems like the best way to really get my money’s worth! I’ve tried the retinol and liked it, though a trial of anything is too small to really see results…especially for a retinol. I’d like to give this a real shot! And the glycolic treatment has been on my watch list for a while! Wouldn’t mind a backup of the c-firma and the other products are bonuses. This is just an awesome set!
Laniege Lip Glowy Balm – This is essentially a pocket size of the sleeping mask and I’d love the ease of this to carry around with me every day! I’ll take one for my car, one for my bathroom, one for my purse…you get the point etc I have my eye on grapefruit!

How I get rid of acne FAST!

April 15, 2019

When I was younger, in high school and college, I struggled with the typical annoying embarrassing breakouts. In fact, my first year of college, I even cut bangs to try to hide the acne on my forehead. Which didn’t help, I’m sure (hand over face). But luckily, I grew out of it and I’m happy to report that I rarely get zits that really truly hate me!

This post is about what I do when I DO get a zit though. I’m fortunate, I get it (though I definitely still struggle with skin issues!). I can’t complain about the occasional pimple and my heart hurts for those struggle hard core with this. I’m hopeful that the products I use and will be sharing about will help someone out there discover something new that may work for them too <3

get rid of acne fast tauritucker.com my acne essentials

OK so the most important thing(s) I do are my nightly and daily skin care routines. I do NOT miss an evening. I may change it up a bit here and there but there has not been even one night in the past several years that I have gone to bed without properly removing my makeup and hydrating my skin. It’s non-negotiable. I’m a little more lax about the daytime routine, there are days that I’ve missed doing it cuz KIDS, but I try hard not to. SO before I go any further, if you don’t yet have a basic skincare routine, that is the first place to start. Read all about my most favorite cleanser, toner and moisturizer HERE.

MASK

Moving on, I love a good Mask. If you follow me on instagram, you know this! This mask from Ole Henriksen is my favorite for oily acne-prone skin. This stuff ROCKS! I reach for this every time I’m feeling a bit shiny or when I’m feeling a zit coming on. It cleans, exfoliates, its soothing, it regulates oil production and drawing out excess sebum. It’s got bentonite and kaolin clays which are amazing at sucking out impurities and purifying the skin and increasing circulation for faster healing and less scaring. Lactic acid and salicylic acid for cleaning out the pores and sluffing away dead skin. I use it 1-2 times a week while my skin is struggling. Refreshing vibrant teal color and peppermint smell.

SPOT TREATMENT

I love the tea tree spot treatment in the form of this gel from The Body Shop. I’d used the oil version of this (also from The Body Shop) for like 15 years but when I saw that they made a gel, I was thrilled because the oil can get messy. The gel with the doe foot applicator is much preferred. Tea tree has anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties for treating and soothing breakouts, calming redness, swelling and inflammation and helping to reduce scarring. All good things, all good things! (Momma’s, name that movie!)

OVERNIGHT TREATMENT

Last product I swear by for acne is a big one. Well, it’s actually very little. But it makes a huge impact! I’m a big believer in keeping your breakouts hydrated. Like, BIG. Drying the skin out just means scabby zits and uneven makeup and scars (not thanks!). So I keep my pimples hydrated by using these zit patches from CosRx. Hydrocolloid patches create a moist environment with the body to promote healing. They absorb and suck out all the gunk thats inflaming the spot on your skin. The patch will turn from clear to white and thats when you either safely extract whats left and move on or replace it with a new patch! You NEED them!

A FEW MORE TIPS:

Don’t touch your face! It’s hard but just trust!

All the deets on the Maskcara Beauty artist program!

April 2, 2019

So you’ve thought about becoming an independent artist with Maskcara Beauty, huh? Maybe you’ve even thought about it but didn’t want to admit it. That was me 2+ years ago. Something was pulling me to the company but I wanted to fight it because it was an MLM and I didn’t do MLM’s. Doesn’t everyone start out that way though? I would bet so…until you find a product/company that speaks to you. Maskcara was that company for me! If you think it might be the one for you too, then this post is for you!

Here are all the details on being an independent artist for Maskcara Beauty!

I’ve been an artist since just a week shy of the US launch over 2 years ago. It has been the single greatest thing I’ve done for just myself in my adult life! The blessings are innumerable and include a hugely supportive community of friends, newfound confidence and paychecks to help support my family.

Becoming an artist is simple : purchase the artist kit, thats it! Once your kit arrives in the mail, you’ll have everything you need to get started! Experiment with the products, try them out on yourself, your friends and family members and share your love for them in-person and online!

So what comes next? On day one, you will get access to all corporate and team training and marketing materials. There are videos, facebook groups, group chats, text materials and many other ways to get direct help from me and the rest of our team. I work closely with the top leader in the company and am able to bring the most up to date and relevant info to all of Team All-sTaurs. YOU WILL NOT BE ALONE! I’ve never not taken this business seriously and I am invested in your success!

The greatest part about it is its YOUR business. You work how you want, where you want and when you want. There is nothing you have to do, no monthly or yearly sales requirments you have to meet and you do not have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable (cold messaging? gross! pressuring friends and family? GROSS!) With my help, we will figure out how this best fits in to your life and then you simply go and do it!

YOU have unlimited potential and I believe in your success! I have reserved space on my team for everyone that wants it and I will hold that space for you until you’re ready. This isn’t your typical beauty direct sales company, we are breaking the mold with our focus on natural beauty and especially with our organic business practices. This business was designed with your success in mind! Maskcara does all the heavy lifting– you just share the products!

Ready to sign up? Or do you have more questions? Either way, send me an email (hello@tauritucker.com), fill out the form on the contact page or reach out to me on instagram (@tauriandtheshift), and let’s start a conversation! I’m so excited for you!

Date Night!

March 26, 2019

Anyone else get anxiety over hanging out with people they don’t know well? I mean, what if I can’t think of anything to say? What if there is an awkward silence and I word vomit just to fill it? Yep, thats how my brain works. Getting ready for dinner couples date that I honestly wasn’t that excited about (for said reasons above). So what do I do? I do my makeup! If theres nothing to talk about, at least I can always rely on that to be a conversation starter! So I busted out some fun colors (I had been wanting to do a pinky-purple with yellow for a while!) and the tape (say whaaaa?) and got to work!

I cut the tape in to a couple thin strips and placed them exactly on the outer corner of my eye and out towards my temple, to keep that space “negative”. I knew I wanted to keep the eye pretty round except my outer corner so I kept the purple centralized to the mobile lid. I love that you can’t really see it unless I open my eye. And the yellow is just the most fun pop of color.

I’m honestly not thrilled at the patchiness of the yellow shadow directly under my eye…I can only blame it on the actual product because thats not a typical issue that I have. But you can’t really tell unless you look for it. I give you permission to do that now (insert wink face)

Overall, I really love this look! I think these two colors go really beautifully together and I can see myself reusing the combo in other ways, as well as recreating the look with different color combos! And dinner went very well…in case you’re wondering 🙂
