Hi There! Meet The Faces Behind Three Babes Beauty

As a way to kickoff our new beauty related blog, we thought it would be best if we introduced ourselves - the three wannabe beauty experts behind the posts - and find that deep soul connection with our long lost beauty loving readers out there. Okay, okay. Maybe not that deep, but a good connection builds a solid foundation. If you’re lucky, we might even tell a few jokes that help you achieve the perfect blush. ;)

To start off, we should clarify that we each have very different and strong opinions about skincare and makeup. No matter which beauty spectrum you are on, you will always be hearing our honest opinions. We vary in age and skin type, which helps us cover a pretty broad range of beauty products for you.

Without further adieu, here is our open love letter to you! Get ready to eat your heart out, world.

Christina

Favorite Makeup Artist: Mary Greenwell  
Favorite Beauty Icon: Blake Lively

Skin Type/Color: Dry, Olive  
Eye Color: Hazel (brown/green/gold)

Hi, how ya doing? My name is Christina and I am 23 years old. As an animal enthusiast and conscientious consumer, I am probably the biggest penny pincher out of the three of us. I just cannot stomach the thought of having too much shit to choose from. It causes me stress and anxiety - and it's not as if I'm gonna let makeup stress me out. I typically prefer skincare over makeup due to me having extremely dry skin. I mean, more dry than jerky in the desert, dry. Thanks to my adoration for skincare and my forever dry skin, I am pretty dang good at going about my day without foundation and pretty much only using cream products. So, my makeup preferences are pretty much exclusive to lipstick, cream blush and liquid eyeliner. My goal is to find the perfect moisturizer and facial masks to keep my dry skin, plump. Join me as we find the best animal and eco friendly products that keep you stylish and drop dead gorgeous.

P.S. I promise to try to avoid ranting about *saving the environment* as much as possible.

Hillari

Favorite Makeup Artist: Patrick Ta  
Favorite Beauty Icon: Grace Kelly

Skin Type/Color: Combination/oily-ish, Porcelain fair 
Eye Color: Gray-green

Bonjour, mes amis! Je m'appelle Hillari and the only Paris I’ve been to is in my home state of Texas. Still, a Francophile girl can dream, but that’s beside the point. Like any good Southern woman, I’m going to keep my actual age a secret. I will, however, admit that I have been making 29 look fabulous for a while. I’ve always been the girliest of girly girls so my love affair with makeup started young. My makeup style - if I have one at all - is best described as polished and classic with pops of color. I love a bright, bold lip color or unexpectedly vibrant eyeliner. I love the beauty styles of Olivia Munn and Chrissy Teigen. Their skin always looks luminous and natural - something I’ve yet to master. I think it really starts with how you take care of your skin. While I’m not about to shell out $310 for 2 ounces of Creme de la Mer, I am willing to spend a little more on quality products that actually make a difference for my skin. (Coughcough VIBRouge at Sephora coughcough.) I’m a firm believer in removing your makeup every night before bed. Be prepared to see me on my soapbox about this fairly often. Since my skin tends to be more on the oily side of combination, I am forever searching for the perfect combination of primer, foundation, and concealer to keep me from looking like I’ve been frying chicken on the fourth of July. The quest continues. Who knows? Maybe it will take me to Paris.

Kaitlin

Favorite Makeup Artist: Rachel Goodwin  
Favorite Beauty Icon: Audrey Hepburn

Skin Type/Color: Combination, Porcelain Fair
Eye Color: Deep, Reddish Brown

Hello Sunshine! I may not be the light that radiates your life, but maybe my beauty tips can be the next best thing. My name is Kaitlin and I’m inching closer to my dream age of 24; a little over two months to be exact. I believe makeup is one of the greatest declarations of self expression. For myself, I prefer a blend of classic and natural makeup looks, but I love exploring all the newest beauty styles. The foundation of all great makeup looks is a balance of great skincare. You have to be kind to your skin, and it will reward you with a subtle glow. I’m still searching for my holy grail of makeup and skincare products, but every day I’m one step closer. My biggest goal is to find the perfect combination of simple eyes and bold lip on myself, or even the perfect go-to, everyday look. I’d love for you to go on a beauty adventure with me, and I hope you get a delight out of my snappy comments. Fair warning: I worship the likes of Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams and Kerry Washington, so be sure you know what you’re getting yourself into before we start.

Now that you know a little about us, we cannot wait to introduce you to our much loved or much hated products. Look out for our next post soon!
