today i was home alone for most of the day \(*`∧´)/ hopefully i can do something fun later... but i decided to take pictures of myself getting ready today! i'm not a real makeup artist and i'm not telling you how to do your makeup, this is just how i like to do mine.
i wash my face daily with bioré revitalize cleanser (i exfoliate about twice a week with cranberry and pomegranate sugar scrub) and then moisturize with yes to tomatoes daily balancing moisturizer. i always prime my face with smashbox photo finish primer.
i use covergirl concealer for red areas. (i'm not sure about which product it is specifically.) i haven't been using foundation because it's so hot out and i don't want to melt. (-_-メ then rimmel london stay matte pressed powder.
contouring is done with rimmel london natural bronzer to slim my nose and contour my cheeks.
for blush, i apply a more neutral cream blush by NYX (i think the color is cb02 natural or something??) over my contour. then, in a pretty concentrated but blended out circle on the apples of my cheeks, i apply urban decay afterglow cheek tint in quickie. since both products are kind of creamy, i set them with coralista blush by benefit cosmetics.
to make a basis for false lashes, i draw a line from the edge of my eye with an eyeliner pen from a korean beauty supply store. (^人^) this helps me get the lashes symmetry correct. i do eyeliner after lashes.
i like very enlarged eyes so i glue two lashes together like shown. the way they overlap also makes the part of the lashes right on the outside of my natural eye thicker, which enlarges the eye even more.
after my lashes are on, i apply maybelline NY eye studio master precise liner and maybelline NY lash stiletto mascara.
i cut a different set of lashes in half and apply mascara to blend my natural lashes with the fake ones.
i usually prefer MAC lipstick but today i wore NYX lipstick in LSS509 narcissus with a little bit of victoria's secret beauty rush lip gloss.
i ended up not highlighting today because i didn't feel like it. ( ̄▽ ̄;)
all done!
