My friend Catabriea (Cat for short!) is a makeup queen, so of course I had her fill out my "What Do You Use?" survey. Check it out!

From Cat's wedding this summer; what a fun time!

I'm a web developer (implied nerd) who loves kitties, cupcakes, chocolate, music, makeup, my husband and my children - in no specific order ;)

What’s your skincare routine like?

Minimal and as Natural as possible. I believe beauty really does come from within. Treating your body right reflects on the outside: quality sleep, low stress, hydration, good food, hydration, did I mention hydration? If I’ve been slacking on those I make sure I defend my skin against the world - poor air, uv rays, etc. Moisturizing is my go-to 365, even in the sweaty summers putting on a layer of moisturizing protection (sunscreen please!) saves your skin in the future.

What are your holy grail makeup products?

An thin eyebrow brush for cat liner (more and more now they are being marketed as duo eye liners - FINALLY!). Trust me! Try it! Fastest way to get a clean sexy cat eye.
Moisturizer & Primer: Find what works for your skin - a 5 star product might be a 1 star for you. I’ve used over a dozen dif kinds and it really just depends on the time of year, hormones, yada yada. But moisturizing and priming your skin - especially before a makeup foundation is key to a polished look and healthier skin.
The Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit is my fav. The shades are the best quality and the palette wells lasts a long time.
Real Techniques Expert Face Brush - has NOT failed me when it come to foundation application. Flawless!
Coconut oil - or a non-toxic lip balm because nobody loves dry lips and because nobody loves flaky lips, exfoliate those kissers.
