Make-Up Wear.

Yay! Beauty post!- Finally! Above are my fave make-up products I use for everyday wear.

When it comes down to my make-up, I like to stick to a certain look that fits my everyday.

 I don't really like to take risks or try new make-up looks because 

I'm not one to really wear eyeshadow or falsies everyday plus with my
laid-back style, it allows me to wear something more subtle. 

 I'm a big fan of using both inexpensive, drug store make-up

and higher end brands- it's all about that balance!

My daily make-up routine consists of emphasizing my eyes, cheeks and brows. 

FACE: I alternate between wearing foundation and powder depending on my mood.
 For the most part I wear a foundation powder as my base.
- To prep my face, I start with using a toner after washing my face. Right now I'm into 
Lush's Tea Tree Water toner- I either spray it all over or use a cotton ball to apply.
-  After, I prime my face using Hourglass mineral primer- this helps prep the foundation 
but also makes your make-up look a bit more flawless.
- I apply my Two Faced foundation to help even out my skin and add concealer for my 
under eyes and blemishes only.
-  I then add a little bit of my Laura Mercier powder to help set in the foundation 
with a sephora brush
- Tip: Carry a translucent powder to touch up through out your day like Make-Up 
Forever's HD high definition powder- it matifies the skin without changing it's 
natural contours; DON'T touch up with more powder because you're just piling 
up more make-up.

-  I start at the outer corner of my eyes and work my way inward. I usually start with a 

- I add two to three coats of mascara to finish off my eyes and that includes my 
bottom lashes too! I use Dior show and Maybelline's Lash Discovery.

 - For a dramatic look (since I don't do eyeshadows) I like to smudge liner at the bottom 

lid close to my lashes with Rimmel's Spark it Up liner in 610. (similar here)

- Tip: Try staying away from black liquid eyeliner for day looks- it's too dramatic.
 Stick to a brown liner; it's more natural and youthful.

- First, I don't tweeze my eyebrows. I find that tweezing can be addicting and you always
 end up over tweezing and having thinner looking brows plus it's hard keeping
 up with them yourself.

- I thread my eyebrows instead- looooooooooove this! Highly recommend! Threading
 isn't painful and the result lasts about 2 weeks. Brows that are threaded have a far
 better look to them- they look clean, well groomed and the shaping looks always amazing.

LIPS: I love soft, rose looking lips- nothing too crazy, just pretty enough to make my
lips have a nice tint.
- I'm crazy about Laura Mercier's HydraTint in Berry tint and Rose tint-
 it gives me the perfect shade of pink/berry lips.
- I also use and love, NYC's lipstick in Violet Shine 319

*The last photo includes some other products I use and love:
Evian facial spray- I spray this on a couple times a day to keep my make-up
looking moisturized and fresh through out the day, perfect for on the go and it's small to
 fit in your purse!
Josie Maran- It's so important to protect our skin, including our face. I use this to
 moisturize my face and it has SPF 40+ protection... it smells good too!
YSL Shocking mascara- For years, I've had a hard time finding a great mascara...
 I had tried expensive and inexpensive ones and none ever made my lashes
stay curled. Finally, I found 3 that I haven't been able to stop using. Dior show,
Maybelline's Lash Discovery and YSL Shocking mascara!
Two Faced Foundation- Gives me the perfect amount of even-ness and coverage
without looking heavy. It's light and easy to blend.
L'Oreal H.I.P cream eyeliner-perfect creamy liner that glides so smoothly! Love!
