every day face

most used makeup products

Photobucket

after i apply revlon's photoready foundation, i'll cover any blemishes with a concealer. then, i'll apply both deep throat by nars and mac's well dressed for a flush of color. benefit's high beam gives a natural sheen to the skin, which i'll blend onto my cheekbones. i've cut out face powder from my routine because i prefer a glowy rather than matte look. for eyes, i'll use benefit's creaseless cream shadow in birthday suit as a base for my naked palette. i often skip on liner, but sometimes i'll apply sapphire by stila when i feel like taking the time. it's a nice navy shade. lips vary, but one of my most used lipsticks is naked by urban decay. aside from it's hideous packaging, it's a gorgeous, natural shade with an appealing creamy formula.

top row are my favorite/most used shadows from the naked palette; toasted. buck. virgin. sin. naked. sidecar. top left; sapphire
bottom row; high beam. deep throat. well dressed. naked (lipstick).

oh, the blending shadow brush above is a sonia kashuk brush from target. along with my measly blush brush, they are the only brushes i use.

i have a slight obsession with cream eyeshadows. the two i have from benefit are birthday suit, left, and strut, right. they're easy to sweep across the lid when in a hurry or to use them as a base for other shadows. although these products have a great staying power, i can't say that they don't crease after longwear. however, it doesn't take much effort to blend them back out with your finger.

birthday suit is a nice neutral, shimmery shade that is perfect for every day use. the darker shade, strut, can be applied with a light hand for day use as well, or you could use more of the product and smoke it up for a sexy evening look.
