Eyes: I almost always blend 3 eyeshadows. I really like L.A. Colors palates. I think they fit my eye makeup routine to a T.

Mascara: Any kind that plumps up my teeny-tiny lashes.

Lips: I stick to that rule. Bold eyes/nude lip. Bold lips/nude eyes.
Daily Cleansing: I really love Juice Organics Pomwash Exfoliating Facial Foamer. It's so soft and smells delicious. It's also an excellent makeup remover at the end of the day.

Weekly Scrub: Burt's Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub. heart

Daily Moisture: H20+ Face Oasis Ultra Hydrator oil-free cream with polyvitamin spheres. I love it, but I'm thinking of switching to Clinique Zero Gravity Repairwear Lift Firming Cream as soon as I use up my current jar of H20, however; The Clinique one really shrinks the poors and leaves my skin looking and feeling younger and softer. Both work great with my foundations though, they lock it in place, absorb well, and I can go through a whole day without it feeling gross or looking cakey OR shiny. If it's a really dry day and I absolutely NEED on-the-go hydration, I have a mini travel size H20+ Oasis Mist bottle I carry around in my purse.

Daily Eye Cream: I recently started using Clinique Anti-Gravity Firming Eye Lift Cream. I LOVE it. It tightens my under-eye area perfectly and takes several years off my face with every use. heart

Redness: I have pretty severe acne over the last couple months, so lately after putting on my moisturizer, but before I put on my foundation, I use Clinique Redness Solutions Instant Relief Mineral Pressed Powder. If you ever have a breakout or itchy red spot, any powder or liquid primer that's green or highlighter yellow will reduce the appearance of redness. I also occasionally use the silky smooth and lightweight Purminerals Color Correcting Primer in "Green", but only if I have a huge super dark red zit that just looks awful.

Foundations: I actually use two. The first is my base color which is Purminerals 4-in-1 Pressed Powder with SPF15 in "Light", and the second in "Porcelain", which is one shade lighter. This one is basically my 'highlighter', and I use it on areas where the sun will hit (forehead, nose, below eyes on cheek, etc.) and primarilly along my jaw line to help my structure pop a little more. I got the idea from this photograph by Felix Mack. (Notice how her jaw line is lit with a powder several shades lighter). A more subtle and wearable version can really help anybody's look, in my opinion.

Blush: I love blush. I really like the Purminerals Universal Powder in "Spice" or "Pink" (they look much brighter and prettier in real life). Usually I wear the Spice because red shades really warm up and give life to my pale skin. When I apply blush, I usually do a 'C' shape up my cheekbone and around the edge of my eyebrow. Something similar to these here, however not nearly as dark.

Eyeshadows: As far as eyes go, I usually go with a smokey blend somehow. Sometimes I like a darker dramatic look. Either browns/golds for a day-time look, or blacks/golds at night. I really like the NP Set Eye Palette in "Chicago" for natural looks, and Emani Minerals Duo Shadow in "Coco/Black" for darker shades. I also top it off with Emani Minerals Crushed Color Dust in either "Sand" or "White Gold", they're really pretty and shimmery in person.

Eyeliner: That Emani Minerals Duo Shadow is multi-purpose; You can also use it to fill in eyebrows and as a powder liner. I usually blend one of the colors along my waterline and up into my smokey. Sometimes I'll use a liquid eyeliner if I want to do something more dramatic, and for this I use an NP Set On the Double Pen. I don't like the blush side of it though. I don't usually like cream blushes.

Mascara: I use Emani Minerals Organic Soy Mascara in "Midnight". This stuff is amazing. It lasts a really long time, but doesn't 'cling' when you wash it off, and the brush is super easy to wiggle through your lashes.

Lipliner: I don't normally use lipliners, but when I do, I use Clinique Quickliner for Lips in either "Chili", "Sky Violet", "Bamboo", or "Crushed Berry", all pink and plum shades.

Lipstick: I love lipsticks. My favorites are Emani Hydrating Lipstick in "Plush" (which is MUCH brighter and pinker in person), "Sex Pistol", "Promiscuous", and "Big Flirt", and I also love Clinique Different Lipstick in "Glazed Berry" and "Rasberry Glace" (SO pretty! heart ). I actually just bought this Clinique mini-lipstick/gloss keychain & baggy set which happened to have some of my favorite colors the other day. It's so cute! 4laugh

Lipgloss: My favorites are NP Set Lipglosses in "Hawaii Pink" and "Maldives Rose", and Clinique Superbalm Moisturizing Lipglosses in "Rasberry" and "Lilac". (Both colors are in that adorable little kit, too. heart )

Chapstick: When I'm not wearing a lipstick/gloss, I'm keeping my lips moisturized with Burt's Bees Medicated Lip Balm with Clove Oil.

Brushes: I have a ton of makeup brushes. My favorites include~
* Purminerals Chisel Brush for foundation. (Excellent in providing thick coverage.)
* Emani Minerals' V3 Shadow Brush, V5 Brown/Liner Brush, V6 Lip Brush, and V1 Powder Brush for 'sweeping' up loose shadow that falls on my cheek while doing eyes.
* As far as blush and blending goes, I actually LOVE the two larger brushes in this cheap Walmart kit that comes in every holiday season. The blush brush in the middle in particular is my favorite; It surprisingly works very well, is very soft, and has yet to shed.




Anyway, this is how my finished makeup generally looks:

This is what I do normally when I wanna wear make-up. I'm too lazy to experiment with shadows atm.
I look ridiculously tired in that picture too. D;

Anyway, it's basically just a somewhat thick line of brown liquid line winged a teensy bit, lashes curled&mascara, and some lip color.
I'll use blush again since I actually bought blush yesterday. 4laugh I broke my other ones when I was trying de-pot.

When I do wear eyeshadow, I usually actually like wearing red. An example of me in red shadow's on my profile.
- Loose powder foundation (Physician's Formula).
- Bronzer (Physician's Formula).
- Eyeliner (Physician's Formula).
- Mascara (Avon).
- Lip balm (Savannah Bee Company).

I'll throw in eyeshadow for special occasions, or if I just feel like it.
I use mostly golds and browns, but purple occasionally sneaks it's way in there.

Lotion, Primer, then just cover up blemishes, then smooth everything out with power. Then I do my eyeshadow, which is typically browns or bronzes since I have blue eyes. Then I redefine my eyebrows (or rather I color them since my hair is dyed black and my brows are blonde!), then liner and mascara -nod nod- Takes me about ten minutes

Cute cat_whee Your face doesn't look too masculine at all.

I wear bb cream, hd silica powder to set, bronzer or blush, and mascara. That is my everyday makeup.

If I am going out, I wear eyeshadow and gel liner and something on my lips.


i also make up like this in the morning,but more times i just wear bb cream and with powerder to set and blush.then it looks lovely and beautiful in the whole day!
Eyeliner and chapstick.

This past week I just started wearing mascara for the hell of it because I want my eyes to be dark but I don't feel like applying eye shadow, even though I have a whole smoky eye palette.

Personally it doesn't make much of a difference because I have naturally long eyelashes.

I usually just wear mascara and lip balm on a daily basis, but for different events I wear much, much more dramatic makeup.
