Well, I finally got fed up with myself. I mean, how do I expect to get back to feeling like myself, if I don't force the issue? I mean... C'mon son! So the other day, I decided that I would just throw on a full-face of glam and not worry about my lack of plans for the day.
Day 1:
I lined my brows with burgundy lip pencil and used a spoolie brush (looks like a mascara wand) to brush the color through my brows. Then i used an angled brush to add a dark brown shadow to my brows and, again, brushed the color through with the spoolie brush. Next was concealer. I used a small concealer brush and a consealer about 2 shades lighter than my skin from my Coastal Scents Camoflage pallet to highlight/perfect the shape of my brows.. See my brow tutorial here.
Next up was my lids. I primed my eyes from lash line to brow with Wet N Wild eye primer from the Fergie collection. This stuff really works, but can be difficult to get a smooth application, so i apply it with a flat shadow brush. After priming, i broke out my Coastal Scents Revealed 2 pallet...
From there, it was time to get a little dramatic. I used a dark brown Wet N Wild Color iCon eye pencil to draw a line along my natural crease. Then I used a short-haired blender brush dipped in the color second from the right on the bottom row (don't be fooled, it's a darker color than it looks) to set the pencil in my crease as well as blend upward. Using my flat shadow brush, I added more primer to my lid where no color had been added and then used that same brush to apply NYX shadow in Hot Orange using a patting motion to build the color. Using that same type of flat brush, I applied a yellow/gold shimmery loose pigment that I got on ebay for like, a dollar, to the inner corner of my lid. I applied Wet N Wild cream gel liner with a liner brush and some lashes, and moved on to my face.
I used a beauty blender sponge knock-off to apply Mary Kay Time Wise Matte Wear Liquid Foundation in a mixture of Bronze 4 and Bronze 5, all over my face except directly under my eyes. Then, using the same concealer I used on my brows to highlight my face. Check out my highlight/contour post here To get an idea of where i apply my highlight. Next, i used a small stipling brush to blend the concealer and make it look smooth and not so heavy. Instead of contouring with concealer, i used an angled face brush and Black Opal pressed powder in Deepest Espresso to contour my cheek bones and frame my face. I used a fluffy shadow brush and the same pressed powder to contour my nose. I used a powder brush to apply a bronzer from Elizabeth Arden (it has minimal shimmer and gives more of a glow than a sparkle.) to the area where my highlight and contour meet along my cheek bones as well as around the edge of my face and down my nose.. very lightly. I used an angled blush brush to apply Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color in Golden Copper and Cherry Blossom to the apples of my cheeks and blended outward. Since my face was done, I moved back to my eyes.
I lined my lower lash line with my dark brown Color Icon pencil, then used an angled liner brush and the second color from the right on the bottom row of my Revealed 2 pallet to smudge the brown liner out. I applied Mary Kay Ultimate mascara to both top and bottom lashes. And used a black Color icon pencil on my waterline.
On my lips, I lined them with a brown pencil, and smudged the color inward. Then i applied a Wet N Wild lipstick in Think Pink, blotted, then patted the same yellow/gold loose pigmenti used on my eyes, onto the center of my lips.
I set it all with Mary Kay Finishing Spray, and that was that!
