Everyday Full-Face Makeup



Today I'm going to walk you through my everyday face makeup! Here's a picture. Obviously edited, but I love this effect. :)





FACE
To start off, I always apply makeup to a clean, washed and moisturized face.
Then I apply my favorite primer: Korres Vitamin E Face Primer.
After that, I conceal any red spots, and dark circles with Benefit's Boi-ing Concealer in 02.
Next I apply BareMinerals Original Foundation in N2 with an Ecotools bronzer brush. I go over any spots I may have missed with the same foundation using the Full Flawless Face Brush.
After foundation, I love to conceal under my eyes with BareMinerals Well-rested Eye Brightener using the Max Coverage Concealer Brush.
Then I dust BareMinerals Mineral Veil all over my skin with the Flawless Face Brush.
Next I use BareMinerals Faux Tan All Over Face Color with the same brush. I apply this in a c-shape starting above my eyebrows in the temple area, and ending underneath my cheek bones.
I use the blush of my choice next. In this photo, I'm wearing MAC's Plum Foolery. I apply blush with a MAC 116.
The highlight that I use is MAC's Nylon Eyeshadow. I use a basic blush brush for this, and I apply it high up on my cheek bones, and right above my eye brows.


EYES
not my everyday eye makeup, I switch it up daily, this is just a simple neutral; natural look

As a base, I use MAC's Painterly Paint Pot.
I apply Urban Decay's Naked Eyeshadow all over the lid, and blend it out.
I use Urban Decay's Virgin Eyeshadow as a highlight under my brow bone, and on the inner third of my eyes.
For my crease, I use MAC's Woodwinked Eyeshadow. I blend that up toward the brow bone, and into my eyelid.
The pencil I use to line my waterline is MAC's NC15/NW20 Chromagraphic Pencil, then on the inner tear ducts I use MAC's I Get No Kick Eye Kohl.
I curl my lashes, and apply Dior's Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum on both the upper and lower lashes.
And the I apply one coat of MAC's False Lash mascara on both the upper and lower lashes.


LIPS

I first apply a moisturizer to my lips, I like Eucerin's Aquaphor since I am allergic to chapstick.
Then I use a clean concealer brush to apply Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetic's Hush Lip Tar


Wah la!
