This post is a little outside of my comfort zone, because I have pictures of the stages of me putting on these products. Starting from no makeup at all. My heart palpitates.... I didn't use my regular camera, I used my cell because the cell could actually see me! The quality of the pictures of me aren't the best. My lighting was slowly going....so the last picture was taken in the guest bathroom. The picture below shows the brushes I usually use as well. So lets begin shall we?
I start every morning with a well washed, well use of serum, well use of eye cream and lastly a serious moisturizer (which has SPF). I then go into my beauty room and begin my routine.
I begin with using my Spackle Hydrating Moisturizing Under Make-up primer by Laura Geller. This feels like another splash of moisturizer on my face. I love it! I apply it to my entire face and neck. Second, I use my Makeup Forever HD concealer in the color Apricot Beige so that it cancels out my very dark circles around my eyes. Third, I take my Pore fessional by benefit and apply it to only my nose and cheeks where my pores are a little bigger. Pore fessional is amazing. It somehow blurs out my pores! Next, I apply my foundation with my fingers, because it applies the best way- this way. Lately, I have been loving the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue in the color Buttercream. What a 'glow from within' look this achieves on my skin. Then I take my Chanel concealer which is in the shade of Beige Ivoire and apply just to dot to any blemishes I may at the moment. I use my fingertip because it melts into my skin nicely. Lastly I apply my Tarte's Clean Slate 360 Creaseless 12 hour eye shadow primer. It helps with my old lady eye lids! Here is the proof this process, hides what I need hidden and brings out nice glowy skin!
Now, I move on to my eyes. First, right off the bat, I MUST do my eyebrows. Good Lord, they are so thin and sparse....I need help! I use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Perfect Brow Pencil in the color dark brown to just fill them in. Then I go in with Anastasia's Brow Wiz in the shade Dark Brown to make more precise outline. The two together are a match made in heaven. Next, I do some tightlining to my upper lash line with Revlon's Luxurious Color Matte in Black Velvet. It is the best eyeliner to work on wet lash lines. I like it even better than high end brands. Since I am working on my upper lash line, I then get my L'Oreal Lineur Intense Brush Tip Liquid eyeliner in the color Carbon Black and line my upper lid. I do not line my lower lid because it closes up my round eyes. Lastly, I take Rimmel's white eyeliner pencil and line my lower lash line to open up my eyes.
Now I move onto my eye shadow colors for the day which I am using the Smashbox Full Exposure palette. I used Creamy Matte Beige as transition color and Slate with Silver Pearl on my lid. I use my Sigma brushes to apply both colors. I have deep set yes so I can't do too many crazy colors and usually stick to matte colors with just a tiny bit of a little shimmer to make my eyes sparkle. (Hopefully-lol)
Now, this part may be a little weird to some people but I use 3 mascaras to achieve the lashes I want. First I apply one coat of Physicians Formula's Sexy Booster Va Va Voom Volume Mascara in black. I use this first because it separates my lashes nicely and makes them nice long. After I let my lashes dry, I apply one coat of Diorshow Iconic Overcurl in over black. I use this for volume and curl. When I am pressed for time, I will sometimes only use this mascara. It's amazing! Lastly, I apply Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara in black. I use this last because it makes my lashes look like I'm wearing falsies! It's kind of clumpy so be careful!
Lastly I use Physicians Formula's Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Bronzer with Nar's Ita Kabuki Brush and then I apply a little Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls as a highlighter high on my cheek bones.
Lastly, I work my lips. I line and lipstick. Colors vary. Nyx mechanical lip pencil in Nude Pink and I line JUST above my lip line. My lipsticks are organized by colors. So I usually grab something close to my lip liner, in this case pink. And this is it. It is a quick makeup look, easy and I usually go to this every morning. Thanks for stopping by!
