At the beginning of this quarantine, I saw my time at home as an opportunity to level up my makeup skills and get my skincare routine all the way together. And everything was all good… until it wasn't.

Thanks to Lil' Debbie snacks, White Cheddar Jalapeno Cheetos, and my favorite pair of sweatpants, I've had zero f*cks to give about getting fly and I know a few of my good sisters can totally relate. Although the stay-at-home struggle is real, Kehlani just dropped a tutorial that will have you ready to pull out your favorite palette and put your wrist to work.

In the latest episode of Vogue's Beauty Secrets, the 25-year-old singer dropped the details on her favorite skincare beauty products, her best-kept beauty secrets of all time, and the makeup advice she got from Cardi B, and xoNecole has all the details.

Kehlani, who battles with dry, blemish-prone skin, even more so since getting pregnant with her now one-year-old daughter says that it is imperative to keep the moisture on deck, which is why she includes hydration in every step of her routine.

Along with applying Honest Beauty Magic Beauty Balm to her dry areas, Kehlani said that she uses Biossance Squalane + Vitamin C Rose Oil and Dr. Dennis Gross Hyaluronic Marine Hydration Booster for added drip.

Kehlani shared that after she gets her pores in alignment, she focuses on priming and prepping her skin to apply Pat McGrath's Sublime Perfection Foundation, which she says is a light, hydrating foundation for her sometimes fussy skin type.

After setting her brows with Benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel, Kehlani uses Black-owned beauty brand The Crayon Case for a sunset-inspired beat that will give you the ultimate glow-up.

With a YouTube channel that boasts millions of views from her hair and skincare tutorials, beauty influencer Candice Jones knows what it takes to look great on the outside. But when it came to her mental wellbeing, Jones started feeling a disconnect. “Because a lot of the things that I was seeing on social media like: take a bath, pour you some wine,” Jones tells xoNecole about her initial attempts at self-care. “I was doing all of those aesthetic things, but it wasn't making me feel better.”

Money Talks is an xoNecole series where we talk candidly to real women about how they spend money, their relationship with money, and how they get it.

Full-time content creator Yvette Corinne has made waves in the content creation space. On the outside looking in, while some might feel like you have to have hundreds of thousands of followers in order to make a full-time living as an influencer, Yvette has managed to bring in six figures with a highly engaged Instagram community of more than 24,000 followers. And how did she do it? Well, her journey to wealth wasn't one without struggle. The Los Angeles-based micro-influencer got her start in content creation through blogging in 2016.
