Hi, I’m Jamie.
I’m a former beauty and fashion publicist/social media expert, turned blogger (though I still do consult in digital marketing for brands!). After years of working on the PR and marketing side of the beauty industry, I decided to take my insider knowledge and start HonestlyJamie.com. My main goal is to help my blog readers and IG/TikTok followers decipher between which products really work and what’s just marketing BS. With Honestly Jamie, started in 2006 (yes, one of the first beauty blogs ever!), I give my readers daily doses of beauty, lifestyle, fashion and pop culture…with a little sarcasm mixed in.
Past brand partners include: LANCOME, Dr. Dennis Gross, Shiseido, Sunday Riley, L’Oreal Paris, COVERGIRL, Express, Degree Women, Equinox, CVS, Polo Ralph Lauren, Acura, Olay, Old Spice, Neutrogena, La Roche Posay, HSN, Almay, Walgreens, Macy’s, American Eagle, and many more.
I’ve been featured as a beauty expert and blogger in: People, People StyleWatch, Lucky, All You, OK! magazine TV, NewBeauty.com, SHAPE.com, StyleCaster.com, POPSUGAR.com, AccessHollywood.com, ivillage.com, HelloGiggles.com, Bustle.com, Macys.com, TotalBeauty.com, TODAY.com, WomensHealthMag.com, and many more.
I don’t use foundation because I don’t know how to apply it! Lol!
Do you think primers are beneficial for those of us that just use a little powder?
That’s a good question. Typically I’d say no BUT, that said, sometimes powder can get a little dry and crack on your face (depending) so applying a primer first would definitely prevent that! Also, foundation is a lot easier than you would think. I actually apply my favorite It Cosmetics foundation the same way I apply moisturizer to my face, haha. I wrote about it in the link below under “makeup”

Hi,my name is Becky and i am 52yrs old with blonde hair & am very fair skined with combination skin (more on the oily side) with tinea versicolor on the sides of my face & neck also with adult acne. I live down south in Texas where it’s very hot, humid & salty air. Please help guide me in finding the right full coverage foundation , moisturizer & primer , that doesn’t look like I have on a ton of make-up & won’t slide off my face.
Hi Becky!
My absolute favorite (that sounds like it would be a good fit for you as well) is the It Cosmetics CC Cream. This is the oil-free matte version (great for oily skin but I can use it too!): https://bit.ly/2AweO5g
Let me know what you think. I’ve never met anyone who isn’t instantly obsessed 🙂
