Stef and Tyna of we heart this
The My makeup Life series asks appeal biz insiders, bloggers, makeup mavens and artists to share their holy grail products, tricks, ideas and favorite appeal tools. Is there any individual you would like to see featured in My makeup Life or questions you think I must ask? let me know here.
Names: Stef Andrews and Tyna Werner
Location: southern California in the U.S. Stef lives in Joshua Tree and Tyna lives in Los Angeles.
Day job/current gig: STEF: I’m the editor of a magazine aimed at military spouses, and Tyna is a manager at top Tier Social Media.
Hangouts online: weheartthis.com, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Google+
Current favorite product: STEF: Sorry, they’re limited edition MAC products! Tyna’s go-to blush this summer is The best Cheek from the Marilyn Monroe collection. and I’m loving feel My Pulse Lipstick topped with Underdressed Lipglass from temperature Rising.
Beauty inspirations: STEF: We find appeal inspiration in the same places we find life inspiration — old Hollywood, punk rock girls, artesian cocktails, the desert, terrific shoes, luxury packaging, cityscapes, the French Riviera in the 1920s, playing dress-up, animals and every stunning nail polish that has touched our nails.
One word that best describes your outlook on beauty: TYNA: We both agree on this one. It’s “more!”
What makeup/beauty products can’t you live without?
STEF: The one product that is on both of our need to have lists is MAC pressed Blot Powder. Tyna’s skin borders on dry and I’m incredibly oily, but we both rely on it to reduce shine without getting cakey.

When did you start getting into makeup?
STEF: though my dolls always got sharpie makeovers and choppy haircuts, my appeal addiction swung into high gear in 9th grade when I discovered my Mom’s mega eye shadow palette with every shade of the rainbow. I painted Adam Ant-esque stripes on one eye and never looked back!
Stef and Tyna over the years
What’s your best appeal time-saving trick?
TYNA: To save time when trying to cover a large pimple and shave some time off of the lifespan of said pimple, I take a few minutes to apply ice before putting on makeup. wrap a cube in a washcloth and hold it against the pimple for 1 minute. The ice will minimize the inflammation and redness, making it much much easier to hide.
What’s your favorite appeal tool?
STEF: My favorite is also the least expensive — the e.l.f. small Smudge Brush. At only $3 a pop, I get these by the dozen. I color code the handles with a stripe of nail polish and have one devoted to each liner/shadow shade (brown, black, green, etc.). The small dense bristles are also good for concealer and lip liner too. It’s the only brush I’m guaranteed to use every day.

What’s the best appeal recommendations you ever received?
TYNA: treat your neck and décolletage the same way you do your face. The neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging, and the entire “portrait” area is what people notice first. So don’t stop at your chin when going through your appeal routine; wash, moisturize, tone and treat the whole area.
Ποια είναι η ρουτίνα σου περιποίησης της επιδερμίδας σας;
STEF: The only constants are Kiehl’s Calendula Toner and Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel. They’re joined by an ever-changing supporting cast of products! In the a.m., I use only the toner followed by eye cream and moisturizer. In the p.m., I use cleanser, eye cream and serum. I exfoliate with the Alpha Beta peel 1-2 times per week.
One of the newest products I’ve fallen for is Orlane Super-Moisturizing Light Cream.
Something about French skincare gets me every time…
Ποιο είναι το πιο περίεργο πράγμα που έχετε δοκιμάσει στο όνομα της ομορφιάς;
STEF: My stint with a home microdermabrasion maker (pretty much a miniature sander) didn’t end well. It was absolutely my fault, but I got a bit too vigorous and made my skin bleed!
(Some things are best left to the pros.)
Έχετε μια εμφάνιση εμπορικών σημάτων (μαλλιά / στυλ / μακιγιάζ);
TYNA: Bangs. I have what I think is a large forehead (a five-head, if you will) so I’ve had bangs in some form or another (long bangs, short bangs, choppy bangs, side-swept bangs) my whole life.
Are there any appeal decisions you’ve made that you look back on and ask yourself, “why?!”
STEF: In 8th grade I gave myself diy highlights with tin foil and a tide powder mixture because I thought it’s what I saw them use in the salon.
I fried my hair, but it was squeaky clean!
Where are your favorite places to shop?
ΔΙΑΦΗΜΙΣΗ
TYNA: Blue Mercury, Shopbop, Sephora, Target, H&M, Etsy, and vintage stores.
Anything else you want to share?
STEF: We’ve been BFFs considering that 6th grade, and we started we heart this together so that we could share our obsessions — beauty, DIY, entertaining and a lot more — with a larger audience thένα μόνο το ένα το άλλο.
