I was trying to go for a really soft, natural look. A lot of people don't like the nude lip look, but I do. So does the bf and I think it actually looks good on me(bf editing: yes it does). I might be wrong, but oh well. Maybe I'm just walking around looking like a clown, haha!
Foundation Primer: Sephora Anti Shine Foundation Primer. I love love love this, it definitely helps me look less shiny! I have two deluxe sized samples, but I'm sure I will repurchase once I run out. I apply this with clean hands.
Foundation: Yves Saint Laurent Le Teint Touch Eclat in B30 Beige. This was a foil sample that I got from Sephora. I really like how well it matches me, although it will be better once I get a bit darker. I didn't like that it's a bit too liquidy for my taste. I touched my nose by mistake and removed a bit of it, that was way too easy! I need my foundation to be a bit more "bullet proof"! I applied the foundation with my beloved Beauty Blender!
Concealer: Yves Saint Laurent Touch Eclat in N2. I used this as a highlighter. I applied it on top of my foundation, on the bridge of the nose, under my eyes and a bit on my forehead and chin. I think that it did work well and those areas do look slightly highlighted, which is clearly what I was going for. Applied with my fingers and blended with my Beauty Blender.
Bronzer: Too Faced Chocolate Soleil. I got this from a mystery bag from Sephora. It's a deluxe sized sample and I love it so much, it already has a dent in it! I love how well it works as a contour! I applied this on my cheeks, around the hair line, on the jaw line and on the temples. Applied with Sigma's F40 Large Angled Contour Brush.
Blush: elf HD Blush in Superstar, applied with elf's Large Stipple Brush. Careful with this one, because a little goes a long long way and you can end up looking like a clown! We all hate clownface!
Highlighters: Smashbox Soft Lights in Illuminate(don't think they sell it anymore since I can't find a link for it ) on the bridge of the nose, forehead, chin and below the eyes. I applied this with Soho's Powder Brush. Benefit Sunbeam on the cheek bones. I usually apply this with my ring finger(clean hands of course) and blend it in, by lightly tapping the fingers across the cheek bones.
Eye Primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion(Original). I can't choose between Lorac's Behind the Scenes Eye Primer, Too Faced's Shadow Insurance and UD's Primer Potion, since they all work great, at least for me. I can't spot a difference on the wear or pigmentation. The only difference is the brand, prices and maybe texture of the product. Applied primer all over my eyelids with my ring finger.
Eyeliner: elf Cream Eyeliner in Black all across the lash line, applied with Coastal Scent's Angled Brush. I don't really love this eyeliner from elf,it gets the job done and wears well, but I think it's not as pigmented as I want it to be! I want my black liner to be the blackest black ever! Essence Kajal Pencil in White applied to my waterline. This is not pigmented at all and I had to warm it up a bit (holding it in front of a light bulb) for it to give me some pigmentation, I definitely need a more skin colored liner for the waterline, white can look a bit creepy.
Mascara: Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes. When I first got this mascara I didn't "love it", but after a few tries I definitely fell in love!
Eyeshadow: Urban Decay Scratch on the brow bone and lid, Shag on the lid, Underground blended onto the crease. All from the Deluxe Shadow Box palette.
Lips: Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in 24.
Brows: Jane Iredale PurePressed Eyeshadow in Dark Suede, this is my go-to eyebrow color, it's not too dramatic and not too boring, best of all, it stays in place all day! I applied it with Soho's Eyeliner Brush.
That eye looks SO creepy! And I forgot to apply mascara to my lower lash line! I should be punished for this! I promise, it's not a daily thing!
Disclaimer: I purchased this with my own money, and this is my own personal opinion :)
