Just like my wardrobe, my make-up routine is constantly changing. Trust, this is coming from a girl that used to wet her eye-shadow brush in the sink so that her PURPLE shadow would go on darker. Purple. To be fair, it was to match my favorite scoop-neck purple belly shirt that I highlighted with a stretchy puka shell choker. Thank gawd there was no Instagram back then. Hot times people, hot times. Anyway, on to my current, slightly more mature face. These are a few of my favorites in my rotation today:
1. SMASHBOX PRIMER / 2. MAYBELLINE FIT(Color: 120)
3. MAKE UP FOREVER(Color: 128) / 4. NARS BLUSH(Color: Orgasm) / 5. HOOLA BRONZER
6. BOBBI BROWN BRONZER / 7. BENEFIT BROW / 8. MAKE UP FOREVER LINER
9. NARS BRONZER(Color: Laguna) / 10. RIMMEL LINER / 11. LOREAL MASCARA / 12. YSL
13. SEPHORA BRONZER BRUSH / 14. TARTE SMOOTH OPERATOR
Obviously everyone’s skin is different, but mine is pretty dry. For a while, I shied away from primers because I was worried they would dry my skin out more, but the Smashbox Photo Finish primer is perfect for me. It is super smooth and helps my make-up go on evenly and pretty much last all day long. Also, I know you might be wondering why I am highlighting THREE bronzers here, but the reasoning is two-fold. One, I have found that each of these works better for me, depending on the shade of my faux-tan. Two, I like to use the darker two (Bobbi & Nars) for contouring purposes to attempt to make my face look Kate Moss-skinny. It’s an on-going battle. I promise to update you as my make up bag grows, but right now the only thing I can commit to is this episode of Vanderpump Rules.
After I read this post on Tuesday, I went to purchase the Maybelline Fit Me foundation… At first I was skeptical of stick foundation, but after using it for a few days, I totally get it. Finally, no more spending buku bucks on other foundation! I love it!
RIGHT?! I love a good cheapie 🙂 So glad you liked it! XO
