Reading And Rouge: My Face

Good evening!

 This morning I did a very quick, not high quality, before-during-after post. I told you all to be on the look out for a what it is and where to find it post. So here we go:

Cleanser:

My face wash changes as much as a 1 month old needs his diaper changed so that is irrelevant.

Primer:

I use Mary Kay Foundation Primer with spf 15. I also received a sample primer from Sephora-Hourglass Veil- I LOVE IT. But it is 52 dollars, so I will stick with Mary Kay because I love her too, and I can always go to sephora and get samples.

Mary Kay Foundation Primer $16

Hourglass Veil $52

Foundation:

My summer foundation is Hello Flawless by Benefit. It is infused with oxygen and feels so light. It is also oil free--bonus! It has sun protection and we all know that too much sun is no fun--so protect up!

On top of my Hello Flawless I use Make Up Forever Duo Mat. I have NEVER had a better powder foundation in my life. You can always use the Hello Flawless by itself, but I love the extra coverage and matte finish.

Benefit Hello Flawless Liquid Foundation $36

Make Up For Ever Mat Duo $34

Bronzer/Blush:

I don't use either. But I do own a powder blush by tarte. If I need blush I use this. Great color (and they have a lot of colors one is sure to fit you)--Lasts forever.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush $26

Eye Primer:

I use a little extra of my foundation primer on my eyes--always always prime! (That's my best advice.) If I can afford it in any certain month I buy urban decay's eye shadow primer. They have one you can wear as a shadow, as a base, or as a primer to completely cover up. I love the versatility.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer $20

Eye Shadow:

I just started using Clinique's All About Shadow 8-pan pallet. If I am not feeling particularly crazy on a specific day I will use a single shadow color; no fancy stunts. I use maui wowie, virgin, sin, mildew, space cowboy, and naked They are phenomenal (all Urban Decay). I love Half Baked too--but it is very shimmery! *Side Note: USE PRIMER WITH URBAN DECAY*

Clinique All About Shadow 8-Pan Palette $36

Urban Decay Eye Shadow $18

Liner:

I usually use bottom liner only. Pencil. Black. Whatever is cheapest at CVS or Wallgreens. Right now it is Rimmel London. It's good. I also have a new Makeup Forever Aqua Liner. It is a plumb-y color--I use it on my top lashes before I put on shadow (I did this with Maui Wowie by Urban Decay--GORGEOUS!) It brings out green tones because of the contrast. Another eye liner I love (I just used it today on the top!! I was feeling ambitious.) is Maybelline Eye Studio creme eye liner in blackest black. I also have this in eggplant and I cannot wait to use that color.

2) Clinique's Black Honey Almost Lipstick (LOOKS PHENOMENAL ON EVERY SKIN TONE--I have seen this in magazines. It nourishes with a tint of color. The color is beautiful. And has been said to work on every skin tone. Clinique made great product with this one!)

3)Maybelline Baby Lips Sunscreen. Protect those lips, girl! (Boys could use this too--it has no color and hydrates like crazy).

Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip Balm $2.98

Finishers:

Urban Decay's Finishing spray All Night. Keeps your makeup locked and loaded all day. You stay and feel fresh.

I also just purchased Make Up Forever Mist and Fix. I hear it is the best thing in the world. Urban Decay, this stuff could give you a run for your money!
