Howdy ho!
Today I am back with a makeup-related post. FINALLY right?! I know I have been harping on and on about babies and the glamorous life I do lead a little too much lately. But it is HARD to talk makeup when life is a total circus.
But makeup is what I love. It is what I am hear for. And maybe even you too. So here, my friends, is what I have been putting on my face as of late.
Foundation
When it comes to foundation, I have come to the conclusion that I am a very big fan of a slight dewy or luminous finish. Strong emphasis on the word slight. When a foundation is too dewy, or too sheer, I find that it almost makes my skin looks worse. And the same goes for a matte finish. It makes my skin look old, and overdone.
I have recently tried a few foundations that fit this bill, but none have even compared to my love for the Flower Beauty Light Illusion Foundation, in shade L2. This formula is SO GOOD. Click here to read a full review of this.
Concealer
The concealer I am using at the moment is the Too Faced Born this Way. The coverage is great and it does not settle into fine lines. I mostly wear this one under my eyes and I do not have issues with creasing or dryness.
Powder
I use the Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder to set my entire face and under my eyes. There are few powders that I like for BOTH the face and the under eye, and this is easily my fave.
Bronzer/Contour
My favorite bronzer at the moment has to be the Soleil Tan De Chanel. It is perfect. It always looks natural and beautiful and I always feel bougie putting it on.
BLUSH
I have been really into bright pink blushes lately. For years, I was stuck on the peachy warm colors but I find they just blend right into my bronzer. A nice pop of pink is so much more natural looking on me and adds a much-needed brightness to my face.
Another fave has been cream blushes! They work great with the Chanel bronzer and can look so much more natural than a powder blush. My favorites as of late have been:
Wet’n’Wild Color Icon Blush in Pearlescent Pink
Tarte Cheek Stain in Flush
Brows
I am still using (and loving) the gool ol’ Anastasia Brow Whiz pencils. I use taupe and soft brown to lightly fill in my brows and the colors work perfectly on me depending on how long it’s been since I’ve had my hair done.
Mascara
I am currently using the Grande Lash mascara. While it is not my absolute favorite, it is a really nice formula. I also like that it is actually good for my lashes. I recently got this set from my sister in law Shannon, which contains a Grande Lash serum and mascara.
Liner
You guys! I found the best drugstore eyeliner ever! And it is $3. Say hello to the Essence Extreme Lasting Eye Pencil Waterproof in Blacklove. It does not move and is SO black!
Highlight
I have so many highlights that I wear on a regular basis. The one I reach for most often is still my good ol’ Makeup Revolution Goddess of Faith. It works perfectly with my pale skin!
What have YOU been using lately?
that pic of the chanel bronzer is so satisfying!
