THE UNDER-EYE EDIT

MY OFFICAL UNDER-EYE STARTER KIT

Table of Contents

If there’s one area we’re all trying to figure out, it’s the under-eyes. Fine lines, puffiness, dark circles, dryness, concealer that suddenly decides to settle into every. single. line. – there’s a lot going on in one tiny area.

And trust me, I’ve tried A LOT.

Over the years, I’ve tested products, swapped techniques and figured out what actually makes a difference for me. So instead of giving you another list of things to try, I’m giving you my Tried + True Under-Eye Edit – the skincare, tools + makeup products that have earned a permanent spot in my routine.

No gatekeeping. Let’s get into the good stuff. 

BYAVA FACE + SCALP MASSAGE SCULPTER

CLICK HERE TO SHOP & LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Now you may be wondering what a massager is doing in my under-eye routine.. but hear me out…

This one goes beyond the under-eyes – and that’s exactly why I love it. I use the larger end to massage my scalp + neck, then flip it over and use the rounded end on my face.

We hold SO much tension in our jaw, temples, brow, forehead and neck, and that tension can show up in the way our face looks and feels. Taking the time to massage these areas helps me release some of that built-up tension while giving my skin (and honestly, my whole body) a little love.

JOCE TIP: Don’t just focus on where you see the lines. Work into the scalp, jaw, neck and down toward the clavicle too.

OLVIEDA F09 ANTI-WRINKLE EYE CREAM

CLICK HERE TO SHOP & LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT

This baby is my go-to and one I consistently come back to. The Oliveda F09 Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream gives that delicate under-eye area the hydration it needs while helping it feel smoother, tighter + refreshed.

I’m picky about what I use around my eyes, and I love the ingredient lineup in this one. The scent is light, it doesn’t feel heavy, and it feels SO good around the eyes. It’s such an easy everyday step, whether I’m wearing makeup or keeping things simple.

JOCE TIP: Give your eye cream a few minutes to settle into the skin before going in with your next under-eye step – especially if you’re following it with silicone patches or makeup.

MINTIER COLLAGEN LIFT & HYDRATE FACE TAPE

CLICK HERE TO SHOP& LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT

You’ve heard me talk about these before because they have become a nighttime staple for me. After I’ve finished my skincare and let it sit for 5 minutes, I apply the tape along the lines around my eyes and anywhere I’m noticing fine lines.

Before applying, I actually stretch and relax my face so I’m not placing the tape over an already-created crease. I especially love these at night because if you’re a side or face sleeper like me, you know how easily those sleep lines can show up.

JOCE TIP: Apply these after your skincare and smooth out the area before placing them.

DUBOSE REUSABLE SILICON EYE PATCHES

CLICK HERE TO SHOP& LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT

These are one of those products I own and think, why am I not using these every single day?! Unlike a traditional eye mask, there’s no product built into them – you apply your own skincare first, let it settle for a minute, then place the silicone patches over top.

I leave them on for at least 10 minutes, but if I’m puttering around the house, I’ll leave them on even longer. They’re reusable too, so when they start losing their stick, simply rinse them with water and pat dry.

JOCE TIP: These are a daytime skincare step for me. At night, I reach for my Mintier face tape instead.

SEINT SPOT & EN POINTE BRUSH

CLICK HERE TO SHOP& LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT

When it comes to color correcting, the brush you use makes SUCH a difference. These two are both from SEINT and give me the precision I need to put color exactly where I want it – because my rule is to never use a brush bigger than the area I’m trying to correct.

The Spot Brush is the one I recommend most. It’s double-ended with two different sizes, so whether you’re correcting under the eyes or working on a smaller area, you have options without over-applying product.

The En Point Brush is for those tiny, precise areas where I need even more control. I also love using one end for adding pigment, like contour or bronzer, and keeping the other for my yellow + orange correcting shades.

JOCE TIP: Start small + stay precise. Color correcting isn’t about adding more makeup — it’s about putting the right color in the right place.

SEINT COLOR CORRECTORS (Y01 & 03)

CLICK HERE TO SHOP& LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT

If you’ve heard me talk about color theory, you know how much of a difference the right corrector can make – especially under the eyes. These two are both from SEINT, and Y01 + 03 tend to be two of the shades I reach for most.

Y01 is my go-to when I’m seeing more purple + blue tones, especially underneath the eyes or within a blemish. Instead of piling concealer on top, that yellow helps neutralize the unwanted color first.

03 comes in when the pigmentation is deeper — think melasma, hyperpigmentation, sunspots or more prominent blue colouring underneath the eyes. It gives me that stronger correction exactly where I need it.

JOCE TIP: Color correction is definitely not one-size-fits-all. If you’re dealing with pigmentation and aren’t sure which shade you need, I always recommend getting a custom color match rather than guessing.

SIGMA CREAM CORRECTOR DUO

CLICK HERE TO SHOP& LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Yes, I have two different types of color correctors in this edit – because I use them completely differently.

Sigma’s formula is softer and creamier, so I love putting a little on my fingertip and pressing it underneath my eyes to brighten and correct. Seint gives me more control for precise placement, whereas Sigma is beautiful when I want that softer, diffused correction.

That’s why you’ll find both in my makeup bag: SIGMA for brightening + SEINT when I want to pinpoint exactly where the correction goes.

YOUR SAVINGS HUB THIS LABOR DAY

Table of Contents

Okay, there are a LOT of Labor Day sales happening right now, and I don’t know about you, but I don’t have the time (or patience ) to sort through all of them.

So I did a little of the work for you.

I pulled together some of the beauty, wellness, and self-care deals I’m most excited about right now — including a few products I already use and genuinely love, along with some things I’ve had my eye on.

These aren’t just random sales I found on the internet. These are brands and products I feel good about sharing with you, and I’m especially excited about a few of the deals because the savings are actually worth talking about.

So grab your coffee—or your favorite drink of choice —and let’s get into the Labor Day deals worth knowing about before they disappear.

ADDING THIS TO MY OWN CART

Results of using Olive Tree People for years

If you’ve been curious about Olive Tree People, this weekend is a pretty great time to try it — or stock up on the things you already love.

Their Labor Day promotion is 35% off when you spend $159 USD (or the equivalent of $219 CAD / €159). So if you’ve had a few OTP favorites sitting on your wishlist, you can bundle them together and save.

I especially love that OTP makes everyday body care feel a little more special. It’s one of those brands where even the basics can feel like a little treat, and I think it’s a fun one to explore if you’re looking for something new.

The fine print: the Olive Rose BRUSH & I56, Starter Sets, and Enrollment Kits are excluded from the promotion.

Happy shopping — and if you try something new, tell me what you get!

SAVE $260 ON MY SECRET WEAPON

I bought my LUMEBOX with my own money years ago – and after actually using it, testing it, and finding the ways it fits into my life, it has become one of those things I genuinely don’t want to be without.

It comes with me on every. single. trip.

Why? Travel can throw off all the cues my body is used to. If I’m in California, for example, 8 AM at home is 6 AM there – and it can still be dark when my body is ready to start the day. Having my LUMEBOX with me gives me a consistent light-based ritual even when my environment and schedule have changed.

But travel is only one way I use it. At this point, I reach for it for SO many things:

  • Morning + travel routines when my usual light cues are different
  • My nighttime wind-down when I’m trying to step away from bright lights and screens
  • Alongside meditation to set the tone and help me slow things down
  • Beside my ear as part of the routine I use when I’m focusing on calming and nervous-system support
  • Over my gut when my stomach feels off or when nervousness shows up there
  • On different areas of my body when something feels sore, achy, or just off
  • Anytime I need a little mood reset and want to create a calmer environment

I’m never going to tell you there’s one magic thing that fixes everything – that’s not how our bodies work. But my LUMEBOX has become one of those tools I reach for again and again because it’s simple, it fits into my life, and I genuinely notice the difference in how I feel when I use it.

MY FAV SET IS ON SALE NOW

Okay, this one is an easy one for me to share because I actually put this set together myself. 

My Sigma FAVSET is a curated collection of some of the products I personally love and reach for, and it’s 20% off right now.

Brushes included in the collection:

    • E35 — my fluffy blending brush
    • E27 — perfect for building depth
    • E21 — my favorite for lining the eyes

If you’ve ever asked me which Sigma products I actually recommend, this is a pretty good place to start because I’ve already done the picking for you.

And if you want to browse beyond the set, I also have a full page of my Sigma favorites with other products I love.

AND THEN THERE'S THE PRIMER...

I knew I wanted the Sigma eyeshadow primer in this bundle because it’s genuinely the best one I’ve used –  and trust me, I’ve tried a LOT.

I chose this very specific shade for a reason. That little hint of pink can help visually neutralize the look of discoloration and veins, giving you a more even-looking base before you ever pick up your shadow. I’ll even use a little under the eyes when I want some extra color correction.

Then it gives your shadow a smooth base and helps everything stay in place.

IF YOU'VE EVER ASKED ME WHAT I USE TO WHITEN MY TEETH...

This is it! I genuinely love my Banana White teeth whitener, and it’s one of those products that has earned a permanent spot in my routine.

So when I saw they were running a Labor Day deal, I had to share it with you. The Compact Pro Whitening Kit is $69 instead of $99, AND you get a FREE teeth-whitening foam with your $50+ purchase.

Basically, it’s $30 off my favorite whitening kit + a freebie when you use CODE JOCELYN!

If you’ve been wanting to try Banana White, I would absolutely take advantage of this one. The offer ends September 7!

AN INSIDE LOOK AT MY NEW COURSE

WHAT BROKE ME, BUILT ME: AN INSIDE LOOK AT MY NEW VIRTUAL COURSE

Before you ever Google something, there’s usually a reason, right?

Something feels off. Something isn’t working. Something hurts. Or maybe you’re looking for an answer to a question you can’t quite put your finger on.

But what about when you start Googling how you’re feeling, why you’re feeling it, or how to make it stop?

I spent four years researching how to fix this because I had spent too many years creating the signs and symptoms I was desperately trying to get rid of – through habits and patterns that, over time, completely burned me out.

And I know I’m not the only one.

Maybe you’re researching how to feel better, but you don’t even know where to start. Maybe you’re tired, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or frustrated that your body keeps reacting in ways you don’t understand.

That’s why WHAT BROKE ME, BUILT ME was created.

I had to stop looking at myself and asking, “What is wrong with me?” and start asking, “Okay, maybe I played a part in creating this – but where do I go from here?”

I didn’t want to feel exhausted. I didn’t want to feel depressed or disconnected from myself. I didn’t want to keep reacting to my body breaking down or constantly feeling like I was trying to catch up.

The research I did wasn’t something I already knew how to do. It came from one simple question: Why can’t I get better?

That question led me to understanding the nervous system, the lymphatic system, and – most importantly- how to recognize what my body was telling me and give it what it needed in that moment.

And that’s what this course is really about.

Not just knowing what to do, but learning how to recognize what’s happening in your body so you can actually respond to it.

Because here’s what I’ve learned: things start getting better, we feel good, and then we back off. Life gets busy. Old habits creep back in. Something feels hard again – and suddenly we don’t know how to get ourselves back to where we were.

I want to walk through that with you.

We’ll talk about recognizing patterns, understanding your body, taking the habits you need and weaving them into the life you’re already living, and learning how to support yourself through the hard days without creating another giant list of things you have to do.

Because healing isn’t a 30-day challenge. It’s a skill you get to keep.

And that is what I want you to walk away from WHAT BROKE ME, BUILT ME with: not another list of things to try, but a deeper understanding of your own body and the confidence to know what to do when things get hard again.

You’ve spent enough time trying to figure out what’s wrong. Let’s learn how to recognize what your body is asking for – and finally know what to do with it.

MY CORTISOL-CONTROL SECRET WEAPON

Table of Contents

We’ve been taught that cortisol is the bad guy… but what if we’ve been looking at it all wrong?

For so long, the conversation has been about lowering cortisol, reducing cortisol, getting cortisol “under control.”And yes, chronically elevated or poorly timed cortisol can be a problem – but cortisol itself isn’t something your body is trying to fight.

You actually need it.

Cortisol helps you wake up in the morning, plays a role in regulating blood sugar and energy, and helps your body respond when life asks more of you. It’s part of a healthy, functioning stress-response system.

The goal isn’t to have no cortisol. It’s to support the natural rhythm your body was designed to have – higher in the morning when you need to wake up and get moving, then gradually lower as your body prepares to rest at night.

And this is the part I really want you to hear: supporting that rhythm doesn’t have to mean completely overhauling your life.

Sometimes it’s looking at the little things you’re already doing every day – your morning coffee, when you see daylight, what your evenings look like – and asking, “Is this working with my body… or against it?”

ENTER THE CHAT: LUMEBOX

I bought my LUMEBOX with my own money years ago – and after actually using it, testing it, and finding the ways it fits into my life, it has become one of those things I genuinely don’t want to be without.

WHAT MAKES THESE BRUSHES SPECIAL?!

When I say I was picky about this set… I mean PICKY.

I tested so many brushes – other brands, different shapes, and brushes from across the entire Sigma lineup – because I didn’t want to put my name on a set just because the brushes looked good together. I wanted every single one to have a purpose.

My biggest thing? They needed to work for different eyes. Deep-set eyes, hooded eyes, mature or more textured lids, younger eyes – because we do NOT all have the same eye shape or skin.

These three made the cut because they work beautifully together. Whether you’re doing a simple two-shadow eye or building something with multiple shades, you can use them together to place, build, blend, and soften without needing 10 different brushes to get there.

And can we talk about softness? If you have sensitive eyes, you KNOW how much this matters. Some eye brushes are just too rough. These feel incredibly soft and gentle around the eye, which was a non-negotiable for me.

AND THEN THERE'S THE PRIMER...

knew I wanted the Sigma eyeshadow primer in this bundle because it’s genuinely the best one I’ve used –  and trust me, I’ve tried a LOT.

I chose this very specific shade for a reason. That little hint of pink can help visually neutralize the look of discoloration and veins, giving you a more even-looking base before you ever pick up your shadow. I’ll even use a little under the eyes when I want some extra color correction.

CHEAT SHEET TO COLOR CORRECTING

Orange? Green? Purple?

Who decided makeup needed a whole color wheel?! 

If color correcting has ever left you staring at a rainbow of concealers wondering “okay… but what am I actually supposed to do with these?” – you’re not alone. The good news? It doesn’t have to be complicated.

In this 5-part series, I’m breaking down color correcting in a way that actually makes sense, so you can understand what you’re seeing on the skin, why certain colors work, and how to choose the right shade for what you’re trying to correct.

We’ll cover everything from under-eye discolouration and learning to read the different tones you see on a face, to a deeper dive into shade ranges and how to choose the right corrector for your skin. Then we’ll get practical with “Pick a Spot & Balance It,” where we’ll look at how to target specific areas, followed by covering blemishes and acne without piling on product.

No more guessing, no more grabbing a random orange corrector because TikTok told you to. Just a simple, practical guide to understanding what your skin needs and how to balance it.

Part 1: Under-eye Discoloration

Under-eye discolouration can show up in so many different ways – lighter areas, darker areas, purple tones, or uneven pigmentation – and there isn’t a one-size-fits-all fix.

In Part 1, I’m breaking down how I use color theory to identify, balance, and personalize the right approach for your under-eyes. We’ll look at the color wheel, how different tones affect your color-correcting choices, and why finding the right shade for your skin matters. I’ll also walk you through how I approach everything from loss of pigment to darker and purple areas – without simply piling on more makeup.

Part 2: Reading Color on Faces

Before you can choose the right color corrector, you have to know what you’re actually seeing on the skin.

In Part 2, I’m breaking down how to read color on different faces and use the color wheel to figure out what tones may need to be balanced. I’ll walk you through five close-up examples, looking at everything from puffy, darker under-eyes to lighter areas beneath the eyes, and show you why the same color-correcting approach won’t work for everyone.

The goal? Learning to see the difference, understand what your skin is showing you, and make more intentional color choices instead of treating every face and every concern the same way.

Part 3: Shade Range Deep Dive

Not every shade carries color the same way – and that matters when you’re color correcting.

In Part 3, we’re taking a deeper dive into the shade range and looking at how pigmentation changes from the deepest complexions to the lightest shades. After working with more than 30,000 women, I’ve learned that while every face is completely different, the principles of understanding pigmentation and reading color stay the same.

Building on Parts 1 and 2, I’ll break down Seint’s pigment colors, gradient scales, and undertones to show how these details can influence a custom color match. The goal is to stop treating every complexion the same and start choosing colors based on what’s actually happening on your face.

Part 4: Pick a Spot and Balance It

Color correcting doesn’t mean covering your entire face with another layer of makeup. In this part, I’m showing you how to identify one specific area, figure out what tone is showing through, and choose the right color to balance it before adding your foundation or concealer.

It’s all about being intentional – using color theory to correct exactly what needs correcting instead of adding more product everywhere.

Part 5: Covering Blemishes & Acne

Blemishes don’t all need the same color correction.

In this part, I’m breaking down how to look at the color and tone of a blemish or acne before reaching for your makeup. We’ll talk about how to balance redness, discoloration, and uneven tones so you can neutralize what’s showing through without piling on layers of concealer.

The goal isn’t to hide your skin under more makeup – it’s to understand what you’re seeing, balance it with the right color, and create a more natural-looking finish.

Remember when I said the key to achieving hydrated skin is easier than you think? Well yeah, I MEANT that… and I’m gonna let you in on my little secret!

When it comes to keeping my skin hydrated in the summer, the F06 Serum from Oliveda (click to shop) is my ride-or-die!

BUT she doesn’t work alone… because here’s the thing: you can’t just hydrate your skin from the outside and expect it to do all the work. The trick to helping your skin stay hydrated and healthy is HYDRATING YOUR BODY FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

Yes, all I’m telling you is to DRINK YOUR WATER!  It really is that simple, friends.

BUT if you want to spice it up a bit, I like adding electrolytes to my H20 for a little extra boost. And here’s the WHY…

Especially in the summer heat, we’re losing more water AND minerals through sweat. Electrolytes like sodium and potassium help your body retain and properly use the fluids you’re drinking, so you’re not just drinking more water – you’re actually giving your body the minerals it needs to stay hydrated and function at its best.

And when your body is properly hydrated, your skin benefits too! Think of it as the foundation for all of the skincare you’re putting on top. Hydration from the inside + hydration from the outside = a much happier, glowier complexion.

And THEN we bring in my girl, F06. 

This highly concentrated face serum is formulated to strengthen, tone, renew and rejuvenate tired, dehydrated-looking skin. Its fresh olive leaf cells deliver powerful cell-renewing benefits while the serum is quickly absorbed into the skin to moisturize, nourish and refine.

It helps minimize the appearance of dark spots, smooth the look of maturing skin and bring back that healthy, youthful glow we all want.

So basically? Drink your water. Add your electrolytes. Apply your F06.

Hydrate from the inside out, friends. Your skin will thank you. 

I’m going to share with you  my TWO favorite electrolyte products right now!

From Beginner to Beauty Educator: My Makeup Journey Since 2017 – And Why I Understand the Struggle Better Than Most

From Beginner to Beauty Educator: My Makeup Journey Since 2017

And Why I Understand the Struggle Better Than Most

When I first started learning makeup, I wasn’t a professional makeup artist.

I went to beauty school but the focus was hair, not skin and makeup.

I didn’t grow up with drawers full of skincare or luxury makeup products.

Honestly? I was just like so many women trying to figure it all out.

I liked makeup. I liked beauty. I liked the idea of feeling more confident. But I had no roadmap, no special training, and no clue how much I still had to learn.

What I did have was curiosity.

And that curiosity turned into years of studying makeup techniques, cream makeup, mature skin, skincare routines, color matching, contour methods, and the real missing links in the beauty industry that nobody was talking about online.

This is the story of how I went from a beginner makeup lover to someone who now educates women all over the world on makeup, skincare, mature skin, cream makeup, and confidence.

And if you’re just starting?

I want you to know something:

You do not have to be a professional to learn makeup.

You just have to be willing to learn deeper than surface-level tutorials.

2017 — The Year I Started Using Seint Makeup

2017 was the year everything changed for me.

That was the year I started using Seint makeup.

At the time, I knew almost nothing about:

    • color matching
    • undertones
    • contouring
    • mature skin makeup
    • skincare prep
    • makeup application methods

I simply knew one thing:

I loved the makeup.

graphic comparing "traditional products vs SEINT Beauty" on a black background. The left side features a collection of separate traditional makeup products, including liquid foundation, concealer, contour stick, lipstick, compact powder, blush, loose powder, and an eyeshadow palette, all circled by a white hand-drawn line. White arrows point from this group toward the right side, which showcases a single, compact SEINT Beauty palette holding 10 consolidated cream product pans, including highlights, contours, and blushes.

I loved that it was compact.

I loved that everything fit into one makeup palette instead of carrying around a giant makeup bag. It felt easier, simpler, and more realistic for everyday women.

I jumped into the business quickly because I believed in what I was using, even though I still had so much to learn.

Back then, I wasn’t focused on being an “expert.” I was focused on:

    • learning
    • sharing openly
    • washing my face more consistently
    • practicing
    • understanding why makeup worked differently on different women

I was a beginner figuring it out in real time.

2018 — My Makeup Business Started Growing

By 2018, things started growing fast.

People were intrigued by cream makeup and by the simplicity of the Seint makeup system. My business was growing, but more importantly, I was growing.

At this point, I still didn’t know nearly as much as I know now.

But I was learning quickly through:

    • trial and error
    • real-life application
    • helping real women
    • troubleshooting makeup issues daily

I started realizing that makeup wasn’t just about following trends. It was about understanding faces, skin texture, undertones, age, placement, and confidence.

As my audience grew, I realized I needed systems in place to grow with it.

This wasn’t just about makeup anymore.

It was about education.

2019 — I Became Obsessed With Color Matching and Undertones

2019 was a huge turning point.

My husband actually created a specialized database system for me so I could improve my color matching process because I was doing around 40 color matches a day.

That amount of repetition changed everything for me.

I became deeply familiar with:

    • cool undertones
    • warm undertones
    • olive undertones
    • hyperpigmentation
    • facial discoloration
    • neck-to-face mismatches

At the time, many makeup brands and artists leaned heavily toward overly warm foundations. Faces often looked too yellow compared to the neck and chest.

The more faces I worked with, the more I realized:

We were overusing warm foundation shades in the beauty industry.

This was when I truly started understanding makeup at a much deeper level than traditional tutorials.

Through:

    • internal training
    • comparing applications
    • testing different foundation tones
    • observing skin in person

…I developed a much stronger understanding of how foundation actually works on real skin.

By this point, I felt completely different from the artist I had been just a couple years before.

If someone had sat in my chair in 2017 and then again in 2019, they would have experienced two completely different artists.

2020 — The Year I Mastered Troubleshooting Makeup for Mature Skin

2020 changed everything online.

Suddenly, the beauty world became digital.

Instead of working face-to-face constantly, I shifted heavily into:

    • online education
    • email consultations
    • virtual troubleshooting
    • helping women through photos and communication

This was the year I became incredibly strong in understanding mature skin and makeup troubleshooting.

I realized something important:

Traditional makeup artistry and troubleshooting are not the same thing.

Many makeup artists know how to create beautiful makeup.

But troubleshooting requires understanding:

    • texture
    • skin conditions
    • discoloration
    • dryness
    • mature skin movement
    • product placement
    • layering
    • skin prep

I became stronger because I was solving real problems all day long.

This is also when I deeply realized that many women need multiple foundation shades to truly create balance in the skin.

Especially women dealing with:

    • melasma
    • sunspots
    • redness
    • vitiligo
    • hyperpigmentation
    • uneven skin tone

One foundation shade often cannot solve every issue on the face naturally.

That realization changed my makeup philosophy forever.

2021–2022 — Cream Makeup Became Mainstream

By 2021 and 2022, cream makeup started becoming far more popular.

Brands like Huda Beauty and others were introducing more cream products, and suddenly people were more open to understanding cream formulas.

One of the biggest challenges early on with Seint makeup was this:

People didn’t understand cream makeup yet.

Many people assume all cream makeup is the same. But just like liquid foundation, every cream formula behaves differently.

This is where I learned even more about:

    • cream consistency
    • placement techniques
    • strategic application
    • contour tones
    • mature skin movement

Seint’s thicker cream formula became something I actually appreciated more over time.

Why?

Because thicker cream makeup allows you to work strategically in specific areas instead of coating the entire face heavily.

Back then, many people were still applying makeup all over the face excessively.

But beauty trends were changing.

People were beginning to understand:

    • less is more
    • strategic contouring
    • placement over heaviness
    • softer shaping techniques

This was also when contour stopped feeling so intimidating for women.

I became much more skilled in:

    • cool contour vs warm contour
    • subtle shaping
    • face structure
    • realistic contour placement

Makeup became less about “covering” and more about creating art through enhancement.

2023–2024 — The Years That Changed My Entire Beauty Philosophy

These were the years that changed me the most personally and professionally.

I was going through significant personal and health struggles, and those experiences completely changed the way I looked at beauty.

This was when I dove deeply into skincare education.

And I realized something massive:

Makeup is not the true foundation. Skincare is.

Before this period of my life, I honestly didn’t know much about skincare.

Growing up, the only thing I really had to wash my face with was a bar of soap.

I had to learn:

    • skin barrier health
    • hydration
    • inflammation
    • skincare layering
    • active ingredients
    • skin cycling
    • mature skin changes
    • ingredient interactions

This became a huge learning curve for me.

I wasn’t satisfied with most grocery store skincare.

But I also wasn’t fully satisfied with many medical-grade skincare lines either.

Then I discovered RFA skincare.

RFA opened my eyes to what skincare education could really look like because they didn’t just sell products — they educated people.

And education has always fueled me.

I became obsessed with learning:

    • the science behind makeup
    • why skin ages
    • how environment affects skin
    • how health affects skin
    • why products react differently on different people
    • why makeup sits differently depending on skincare

This was when I stopped thinking like a traditional beauty influencer.

I started thinking deeper.

2025–2026 — Why I Teach Beauty Differently Than Most

Today, I feel incredibly strong in what I know and believe.

I have tested countless makeup lines over the years, and honestly, Seint makeup still stands out strongly to me — especially for mature skin.

Trust me… I’ve tried not to love it so much.

Surely there had to be something better out there.

But what I realized is this:

Cream makeup is not the enemy when applied correctly.

Over-application is.

Today, beauty has changed dramatically from when I started in 2017.

Women no longer want:

    • heavy makeup
    • full-face coverage daily
    • complicated routines
    • confusing techniques

They want:

    • quick makeup application
    • healthy skin
    • strategic makeup placement
    • confidence
    • simplicity
    • skincare-first beauty

And that’s exactly where my philosophy evolved too.

Results of using Olive Tree People for years

But during 2025 and 2026, I deep-dived even further into what the skin and body were truly asking for.

I started questioning everything:

    • Why was skin so dehydrated?
    • Why were so many women struggling with sensitivity?
    • Why were active ingredients becoming stronger while skin barriers seemed weaker?
    • Why did makeup sit beautifully on some skin and terribly on others?

That search led me deeper into skincare simplicity and skin barrier health.

This was when I started using a skincare line that did not use water as its main ingredient. Instead, it focused on the health of the olive tree and the power of bioactive ingredients infused into the skincare itself.

Hydroxytyrosol became one of the biggest staples in the skincare I was using and studying. The more I learned, the more I realized something major:

Hydration is one of the greatest anti-aging tools we have.

Not stronger actives.

Not harsher treatments.

Not constantly over-exfoliating the skin.

Hydration.

Because without proper hydration, the skin barrier suffers. And when the skin barrier suffers, makeup suffers too.

That was the missing piece I felt the beauty industry was overlooking.

This was when Olive Tree People completely shifted my perspective with their product:

F06 — the Cell Active Serum.

An amber glass dropper bottle containing Oliveda F06 Cell Active Serum Face against a plain white background. The bottle features a black ribbed dropper cap and a clean white label displaying the Oliveda logo, an organic tree ring graphic, and text indicating that the product is "Olive Tree Therapy" and made with a 100% organic bioactive elixir instead of water.

Combined with an oil, it became known as the LOVE DUO, and that combination was when hydration truly took over my beauty philosophy.

I had learned so much through RFA and medical-grade skincare education, but now it was time to go even deeper into:

    • hydration
    • barrier repair
    • inflammation
    • skin resilience
    • bioactive skincare
    • how healthy skin changes makeup performance entirely

And this transformed everything.

No longer was I applying makeup onto dry, depleted skin.

Neither were my clients.

Suddenly makeup started:

    • laying smoother
    • lasting longer
    • looking softer
    • needing less product
    • enhancing skin instead of masking it

I now understand deeply that skincare cannot just be about:

    • oily skin
    • dry skin
    • acne-prone skin

It also has to include:

    • climate
    • travel
    • age
    • hormones
    • health
    • activity levels
    • inflammation
    • makeup formulas
    • seasons
    • lifestyle

The skincare routine you use at night should not always be the same one you use during the day.

The skincare routine you use while traveling should not always be the same one you use at home.

Winter skin is different from summer skin.

Mature skin is different from younger skin.

And makeup performs differently depending on all of it.

That missing link is what pushed me deeper into education.

At the end of the day, I’m not someone who started out knowing all of this.

I was just like you.

I didn’t grow up understanding:

    • skincare
    • mature skin makeup
    • cream makeup
    • undertones
    • hydration
    • skin barriers
    • or why makeup worked for some women and not others

I simply became determined to find answers.

What started with Seint makeup in 2017 turned into years of studying real skin, real women, real struggles, and real solutions. Then Olive Tree People (Oliveda) completely shifted my understanding of hydration, skin barriers, and how healthy skin changes everything when it comes to makeup.

Because the truth is:

beautiful makeup starts with healthy skin.

Today, my passion is helping women simplify beauty instead of feeling overwhelmed by it.

Whether it’s:

    • Seint cream makeup
    • mature skin makeup
    • Oliveda skincare
    • hydration-first skincare
    • skin barrier repair
    • or beginner makeup techniques

…I teach from the perspective of someone who truly had to learn it all herself.

And maybe that’s why so many women connect with my approach.

Because I’m not here to teach perfection.

I’m here to help you finally make beauty make sense.

Olive Rose Beauty + Seint: My Favorite Combo for a Natural, Glowy Makeup Look

Clean, waterless beauty look by Jocelyn McClellan using Olive Rose HT Shaping Contour and HT Mascara alongside Seint cream makeup.

If you’re looking for an honest Olive Rose Beauty review, I have to share what I’ve been loving lately. I’ve been combining Olive Rose Beauty by Olive Tree People with my favorite Seint products, and the result is the prettiest natural, glowy skin finish.

This combination has quickly become one of my favorite ways to create a fresh, lived-in glow that still looks like actual skin.

And honestly, I think makeup has changed so much over the years. The more we learn about skincare, skin health, and how our makeup interacts with our skin, the more I find myself leaning toward lighter, skincare-focused products that work with the skin instead of masking it.

That’s exactly why I’ve been loving Olive Rose.

Why I’ve Been Loving Olive Rose Beauty​

One of the biggest things that stood out to me about Olive Rose Beauty is that it’s a waterless, skincare-infused makeup line designed to support healthy-looking skin while still giving you beautiful coverage.

Now, if you know me, you know I’m careful about buzzwords in the beauty industry. Terms like “clean beauty” aren’t regulated, and there’s a lot of fear-based marketing out there that doesn’t always align with actual science.

So instead of focusing on labels, I focus on this:

    • How products perform
    • How they feel on the skin
    • Whether they work well for mature skin
    • And whether they help create a healthy, natural finish

For me, Olive Rose checks those boxes beautifully.

My Current Everyday Glowy Makeup Routine

Here’s exactly how I’ve been layering these products lately for an effortless, dewy finish.

Step 1: Olive Rose Skin Tint

Serum Hydroxytyrosol Skin Tint from Olive Rose by Olive Tree People

The real MVP is the Olive Rose Skin Tint.

I apply it mainly across my cheeks and nose—basically anywhere I want a little evening out without the heaviness of traditional foundation.

It gives that soft, polished look while still allowing freckles, texture, and real skin to show through. If you love lighter coverage makeup, skin tints, or that “no makeup makeup” vibe, this is such a beautiful option.

One thing I personally appreciate is that the formula actually sets down nicely after application. Some skin tints stay overly wet or slippery on the skin all day, but this one dries down in a way that still looks glowy while feeling more polished and wearable.

And yes—it’s buildable. But in my opinion, especially as we age, heavier makeup can sometimes emphasize texture more than flatter it. Healthy-looking skin and strategic coverage usually create the most beautiful result.

Step 2: Adding Shape with Seint, Contour + Blush

After skin tint, I go in to create dimension and color. I’ve been using the HT Shaping Contour along my cheekbones, forehead, and down my neck to help everything blend seamlessly from face to body.

On lighter makeup days, I often skip bronzer completely because the Medium contour shade has enough warmth to softly sculpt without looking too cool or muddy.

QUICK TIP
If traditional bronzer pulls too orange or warm on your skin, try using a warmer cream contour instead. Sometimes it creates a much softer, more natural bronze effect.

For blush, I love using HT Blush Glow on my cheeks—and occasionally on my lips too for an easy monochromatic look. It gives that fresh, “just pinched” flush that makes the whole face come alive.

And for smaller areas that need extra coverage, I still reach for my Seint Main Highlight in targeted spots where I didn’t apply skin tint.

For structure aka contour, it depends on my mood for the day. If I want a lighter application, I just wear my Olive Rose contour on my jawline, nose, forehead, and cheekbones because it does enough sculpting without being too strong or too warm. On days I want a little more definition, I like to use my Seint stone contour as a bronzer (I use this as a bronzer because traditional bronzers pull me too warm so this is a great trick) in all the areas you’d apply bronzer- forehead, cheeks and neck (since my neck is a little lighter in an area – it matches perfectly)
These are areas you can as well too

The two brands honestly work so well together.

The Brushes & Mascara That Pull It All Together

HT Volumizing Mascara from Olive Rose by Olive Tree People

No makeup look feels complete to me without mascara, and the HT Mascara has been such a good everyday option for keeping lashes looking long, separated, and healthy without clumping.

And let’s talk tools for a second because application really does matter.

Can Olive Rose Work with Other Makeup Brands?

I’ve tested a lot of brushes over the years, and I still absolutely love the Seint Pilot and Blend brushes for this routine.

    • The Pilot brush blends the Skin Tint beautifully and gives such an airbrushed finish.
    • The Blend brush is amazing for smaller, intentional placement and detailed blending.

ABSOLUTELY! One of the things I’ve loved most is how easy Olive Rose Beauty is to pair with other makeup products I already own and love.

You do NOT have to completely switch your routine to enjoy it.

Whether you use Seint, traditional foundations, or other cream products, Olive Rose can fit in beautifully depending on the finish and coverage you like.

FAQ About Olive Rose Beauty

I personally don’t love the term “clean beauty” because it isn’t regulated and can sometimes create unnecessary fear around ingredients. What I do appreciate is that Olive Rose focuses heavily on skincare-forward formulas and simplified ingredients.

No—it’s definitely more of a light, buildable coverage product. It’s designed to enhance skin rather than completely mask it.

In my opinion, yes. Lightweight, glowy products often work beautifully on mature skin because they don’t sit as heavily in texture or fine lines.

Yes! I’ve been mixing the two constantly lately, and they layer together beautifully.

You can absolutely take the official shade quiz and then email me at fitmissionmakeup@gmail.com if you want me to double-check your match recommendation personally.

 

At the end of the day, makeup should feel fun, wearable, and supportive of the skin you’re in—not like a mask.

And if you’ve been craving a more natural glow, lighter coverage, and products that work beautifully together, Olive Rose is absolutely worth throwing into the mix. Especially if your goal is healthy-looking, radiant skin that still looks like you.

Best Sunscreens for Dry, Normal, & Oily Skin: Your Guide to SPF That Works Like a Primer

Grainy close-up of a woman’s lower face and neck in soft, moody lighting, evoking natural beauty and introspective skincare. Overlaid text reads ‘The Sunscreen Guide’ with the tagline ‘Soak up the sun, not the damage.

It’s finally here — my ultimate sunscreen guide for every skin type! Whether you have dry, normal, or oily skin, I’ve spent years testing and reviewing sunscreens across different climates to bring you the best of the best.

And here’s the game-changer:
When used the right way, your sunscreen can double as a primer. Yup, you read that right — the right SPF can smooth your skin, prep for makeup, and even replace a traditional primer.

Here’s what to look for based on your skin type:
    •    Dry skin? Go for a moisturizing sunscreen with nourishing ingredients.
    •    Normal skin? You’ll need something lightweight that balances hydration.
    •    Oily skin? A mattifying sunscreen is key — but it should feel weightless, not heavy.

With the right skincare (like the Olive Tree People serums I always talk about that lock in hydration), your sunscreen doesn’t have to compete with your moisturizer or makeup — it works with them. Unless your skin is extremely dry, you may not need a separate moisturizer. Just focus on a solid serum and the right SPF, and you’re set.

This guide helps you ditch the confusion in the sunscreen aisle and gives you tried-and-true SPF favorites that feel good, wear beautifully, and actually protect your skin.

Ready to find the best sunscreen for your skin type?

Finding the right sunscreen for your skin type—whether it’s oily, dry, or combination—can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be! I’ve created this guide to help you discover sunscreens that actually work with your skin, not against it.

I personally use two different sunscreens every morning: one for oily areas and one for dry spots. This helps me control shine while keeping dry zones hydrated—all without piling on extra layers.

Here’s my quick AM routine:
    1.    Rinse (only cleanse do oily)
    2.    Apply Vitamin C serum and let it absorb
    3.    Apply any serum needed, i use F59 from Olive Tree People all over and F06 on cheeks (only moisturizer on dry areas if needed)
    4.    Apply targeted sunscreens
    5.    Finish with Seint cream foundation

The right sunscreen can totally transform not just your skin, but your makeup. Skip the one-size-fits-all moisturizer + SPF combos—they often don’t give your skin what it really needs.

Use this guide to find your perfect SPF match and finally feel confident in your morning routine. Got questions? Comment below or email me at fitmissionmakeup@gmail.com—I’m happy to help!

Whether you’re new to Seint or a long standing customer, here are your questions answered!

What is Seint makeup?

Seint makeup is a cream-based product which includes cream foundation, contour, blush and lip colors (aka lip & cheeks), and more. While most of Seint’s products are cream-based, they do have an assortment of mostly powder eyeshadows, with a handful of cream colors.

Is Seint makeup good for mature skin?

Seint beauty is truly incredible for most if not all skin types. It is a cream-based foundation which means it works especially well for those with mature skin. Seint makeup can be used to achieve a light application to a full coverage look.

How do I choose my Seint foundation colors and build a custom palette?

Building your custom makeup palette with Seint official is easier than ever before, just get started with a color match HERE! As a trained Seint artist, I can color match your skin tone to the right shades of Seint foundation and give recommendations for your contour, eyeshadows, and more. All you have to do to get started is submit a makeup free photo here on my website and I’ll send over your custom Seint color match within 24-48 hours!

Why do I need more than one Seint highlight color?

Everyone’s skin tone is different, but more often than not, our skin is not one color/tone. You may see darker tones, you might see lighter tones. The IIID foundation is named accordingly as the makeup is meant to enhance the beauty that’s already there and provide a more natural look in comparison to other foundations within other makeup companies.

Why is my Seint contour hard?

The formula for the Seint Official contour colors is a little different than the other cream products but a trick I’ve used for years now is letting my palette warm up in direct sunlight to help the longevity of the makeup last all day as that is an area that can get rubbed on more. I warm it up in sunlight until my colors are soft enough to be applied. You can also run a blow dryer lightly over the top of your tin to warm up the cream and soften the contour for application. If you ever need to melt down your tin to soften it out or refresh it, using a candle warmer works great as it’s not too hot and is easy to use. 

Is Seint makeup TSA approved?

Yes! This is yet another reason I love Seint makeup – no more worrying about measuring out your liquid foundation when traveling. Since the makeup comes in a palette and most of the products are cream, you don’t have to worry about being stopped in airport security! It’s all in one compact – foundation, contour, lip colors, eyeshadows, etc. and it’s that easy.

Does Seint have a skincare line?

Yes! The Seint cleanser, toner, and creme are sold separately or they can be purchased in a bundle along with Seint microfiber cloths. If you are new to skincare and looking for somewhere to start, the Seint skincare collection is the perfect place for you to begin. You can shop Seint’s skincare HERE. To learn more about skincare and how it goes hand in hand with your makeup, check out my Skincare Blog Post here!

Do I have to buy Seint makeup brushes?

Seint Official makeup brushes are specially curated to go hand in hand with the cream-based makeup. They make all the difference in the world and can help you achieve the makeup look you want depending on how it’s used, which brush is used, and what methods you use to apply Seint makeup. You can start off with a couple brushes or you can get the Brush Collection! Keep your brushes safe using the Brush Holder and cleaning them regularly.

How often should I clean my Seint makeup brushes?

I recommend cleaning your Seint beauty makeup brushes at least once a week and giving them a good deep clean once a month. Using the Seint Brush Cleanser, spray a paper towel or washcloth directly and lightly sweep/swirl your brushes over the towel to remove product build up. I use Dawn dish soap to disinfect my brushes once a month during their deep cleaning, making sure not to soak the brushes or press down too hard onto any brush mat that I use to clean them.

Do you use a primer with Seint makeup?

Primers aren’t always necessary but choosing the right products to prep your skin for your makeup is! You can use a sunscreen, setting spray, or normal primer before your makeup application – it doesn’t matter which one you use, but it does matter whether or not it’s made for your specific skin type! The key is less is more –  the more product you layer on your skin before applying your Seint makeup, the harder it will be for your makeup to adhere the way you want. 

I’ve put together some of my recommendations for primers categorized by skin type; for COMBINATION – OILY SKIN options, click HERE. For NORMAL – DRY SKIN options, click HERE. For dry skin, I also recommend the Seint Setting Spray!

Should I moisturize before applying Seint makeup?

The cream-based makeup contains ingredients that help moisturize and lock in moisture so not much else is needed, however if you have skin that is typically more dry, you can definitely moisturize before applying your Seint makeup.Make sure to only apply it to your driest areas and give it time to fully absorb into your skin before continuing with your makeup application.

What are Seint Demi Correctors?

Seint said it best:

“Demi Correctors is a carefully calibrated saturation of cream color that is strategically applied using a featherlight technique. Most of your skin remains untouched, resulting in an undetectable makeup that reveals the magic of your face.”

“Analyze the colors present in areas of your face you want to correct for, then utilize color solving to select shades from your palette to filter out any excess colors you don’t want, and infuse your skin with a natural luminosity.” 

“Using a Seint brush, apply a light touch of Demi Corrector directly to the places on your skin that need color correcting to achieve a flawless finish without layering and add texture with makeup.”
