The Soulmate Wishlist. Have you heard of it? ✨A The Soulmate Wishlist. Have you heard of it?

✨After reading a post by Oprah about The Magic of the Soul Mate Wish List, I was inspired to create my own. I wrote mine on my blog nearly four years ago. You can google The Olive Brunette Soulmate Wish List for an example.

✨Why am I telling you this? You see... there’s something really powerful with writing down what you want.

“Stop looking for the love of your life, love your life and the right person will appear.”

✨This blog post inspired me to dive deep into finding love and the best ways to go about doing so. If you’re on your journey to finding love, make a Soulmate Wish list. Trust that what you ask for will be given to you. 

There’s a book I recommend to all of my friends and family called Ask and It Is Given by Esther Hicks. I’ve read this book 3 times and re-read it whenever I feel out of alignment. If you’re reading this and feel called to check it out, do it. :) There’s magic in this book that you don’t want to miss. 💖

Have you ever wondered what your sleeping position Have you ever wondered what your sleeping position says about you? Most importantly, have you ever felt subconscious about how you sleep next to your significant other? This post is for you ⇣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
» Side Sleeper (specifically with your arms at your sides): This position says you’re probably easy going, social, and trusting according to sleep doctors. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
» Side Sleeper (with arms out) : They call this the “yearning log” because you’re yearning for for someone. These sleepers take their time to make up their mind, but once they do they are certain with their decision. The yearning log sleepers are typically open and inviting. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
» Stomach Sleeper: If you sleep with your head to one side and arms grasping your pillow, experts say you are very social but do not like being criticized- honestly, who does?! Stomach sleepers often have an adventurous spirit and love to have fun. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
» Back Sleeper (with arms at your side) : If this is you, congratulations. You’re less likely to get wrinkles and your back and neck are in proper alignment. I’m envious... just saying.  Back sleepers are strong and focused - like a soldier. You probably like structure and put high expectations on yourself. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
» Back Sleeper (with hands up): Calling you a shooting star. How cool. This is the least popular sleeping position so go you for being unique. According to psychology experts, you are a loving and supportive friend. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’ve recently started to share a bed with someone, you might find that half your brain is standing guard all night long. First, remember that your partner is not judging you for how you sleep. Your brain 🧠 is just a little slow at getting that message... don’t be so hard on yourself. Take time to wind down, focus on your breathing, and step away for a little meditation.

Makeup Tips with Pro Makeup Artist, Blair Patterson

These Makeup Tips I’ve learned have been extremely helpful when applying makeup.

If you are in need of any advice, product suggestions, or curious about what it takes to become a global makeup artist, keep on reading.

This week I had the pleasure of getting my makeup done by Estée Lauders Global Pro Makeup Artist, Blair Patterson.

BlairPattersonMakeupArtist

Thank You, Saks Fifth Avenue for sponsoring this post.

This guy is a master when it comes to makeup and can tell you the ins and outs of this brand’s products, how to achieve perfect skin, finding what you love, and mastering makeup for all skin types.

This event was held by Saks Fifth Avenue and Estée Lauder to celebrate the 7th Annual Harper’s Bazaar Fabulous at Every Age contest. To enter, all you need to do is post a photo using the hashtag #FabAtEveryAgeContest and the age of the person in the photo. You can take a picture of yourself or nominate someone to enter for a win.

You can enter here or on Instagram for your chance to win.

My skin looked flawless and the products Blair used were so amazing. I learned so much from him and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.

Get ready because this one’s good!

Let’s be real… I am excited for every blog post of mine, but when I found out I am getting my makeup done by Blair Patterson I was SO excited. Now, I am not huge on makeup.

I definitely have my favorite products and am guilty of watching “Get Ready With Me” videos on youtube. My makeup has always stayed the same and I love the natural look on me. Right off the bat, I told Blair that I do not like not feeling like myself.

Getting my makeup done in the past has been horrendous because I feel so different after and everyone is staring at the products on my face instead of me. 

GlobalProMakeupArtists

Without further ado, meet Blair.

What does your title mean exactly?

BP: It’s a job of many hats. Anything that has to do with artistry and application of makeup is under me. I work directly with the education team, product development, special events, photoshoots, and ad campaigns.

What’s your favorite campaign that you have worked on?

BP: The Envy campaign that I worked on 3 years ago. It is fun to watch the campaigns unfold. Seeing it launch is awesome. I’ll be walking through the airport and recognize an ad that I’ve done which makes it really fun.

For someone getting into makeup and this industry, what tips do you have for them?

BP: Makeup artists are usually defined by skin, so if you can perfect skin you will get hired a lot more. It’s the hardest to make look real and it is 80% of the makeup. My mentor only ever let me do skin for two years. That’s when I learned that if I can do good skin, I’ll always have a job.

What do you recommend for girls that have really red cheeks?

BP: Color Correctors. They sound really scary, but they are so good. You’re not just covering the problem area, but more so neutralizing it with an opposite color so you don’t have to wear as much. If you are really red, color correct with green. Any darkness under the eyes, use red, peach, or orange.

More Makeup Tips

What’s best for the dewy look?

BP: Don’t rub powder all over the face. Instead, press it and only use it where you tend to get the oiliest. You don’t want to use it everywhere. I always avoid the top of the cheekbones. Key points would be around the nose, temple, and forehead.

I love the contour look. Can you walk me through the steps of a perfect contour?

BP: I’m using a dark color from your ear to the side of your mouth. Brushing forward and just lifting up the cheek so the darker part of the deposit is in the back and lighter in the front. Always do a forward motion with a fluffy brush so it’s not a hard line. You don’t want to look like you’re on broadway.

Any skin tips?

BP: A good routine will go a long way. If you’re really bad at remembering to moisturize, keep them by your bed and just throw it on right before you sleep. It’s better than not doing anything.

“If you wiggle your feet as someone is applying your makeup, you won’t move as much.”

Do you have a favorite eyeshadow look?

BP: I think smokey eye, but a rock n roll smokey eye. Do the perfect smokey eye and then smudge it and screw it up. I think really pretty makeup is lived in.

How did you get working with this brand?

BP: They called me when I was 22 for a job as a national makeup artist for North America which I took because I really wanted to travel. It just kept growing from there. The jobs kept getting bigger and I stuck with it. It has been 14 years now and I love the brand.

Last question, Do you have any last-minute makeup tips?

BP: Absolutely. If you wiggle your feet as someone is applying your makeup, you won’t move as much.
