Just wanted to check in with you all. I've been testing out the MAC Matte, Face and Body Foundation and Matte bronzer that I mentioned before so that I can give a good review. I wanted to see how I feel about about it in this weather (unfortunately, it's actually been cooler.)
Friday's Face:
FACE: moisturizer, MAC Matte, Face and Body foundation in C5, MAC Matte Bronzer, and Space Out and Sincere blushes on cheeks! EYES: Studio Finish Concealer, UDP with Rubenesque paint pot layered on top (fingers), Graffiti e/s on lid (#239), Soft Brown e/s in crease and a bit above , as a transition color or for my darker colors in crease(#224), Fig. 1 e/s in crease (#222), Plumage in outer v (#219) and blended out a bit with the #222. Highlight is Moon Glow loose e/s (#217). Eyes are lined with Maybelline liquid liner (the felt tip, pot kind) and water line is rimmed with Milani's Brilliance liner in Aqua. Mascara is MAC Fibre Rich-- it def. doesn't stand up to my LOreal Voluminous (I guess without some primer!) Brows, I used Girl Boy brow set and Cork e/s... no time for the concealer tricks this time!
*****If you have darker hair, brows or skin you may be interested in
Show Off! brow set******
Using the brow set helps so that you may not have to tint/bleach your brows, but using other pencil or brow powder/eye shadow may be necessary.
LIPS: Dazzleglass in Steppin' Out (eaten off after a full day)... I really want Glamour ID!
Thursday's Face:
I used all of the above with these exceptions:
FACE: I used the items in this order- moisturizer, Face and Body foundation, MAC Matte, then matte bronzer.
EYES: On the lid is UD's Honey, Studio Finish Concealer and Laura Mercier's Secret Brightening powder #2
LIPS: Clarin's lipstick in shade?? and Love Knot lipglass
Current Loves
Love Knot lipglass from MAC's Naughty Nautical Collection. (Okay, I actually had to have Love Knot and then added Bateaux to the host of other tan/brown lipglosses and lipsticks that I own. *sad face*)
Milani's Brilliance Liner in Aqua and MAC Duo Sided eyeliner in Black Funk/ Pop Blue.. I mainly use the Pop Blue side and I love it as it reminds me of Blue Peep Fluidliner in pencil form. Much easier to use, but will be used up much faster. I use these interchangeably and I'm additcted. My Fascinating eye khol has been collecting dust *tear*
I'll post soon with more reviews of some of these products!
