Getting ready: wedding in Easter

Complexion:

  1. Benefit porefessional primer: concentrate on the nose cheeks where my pores are large.
  2. MAC prep and prime primer base: all over face.
  3. Clinique even better and Superfit liquid foundation (shade 05): mix 1:1 on the back of my hand and apply with Shiseido foundation brush.
  4. Maybelline mineral power concealer: apply with doe tip applicator directly to dark circles, spots, redness and acne scars. Blend with fingers by patting.
  5. Loreal true match super-blendable powder: apply with a large eye shadow brush, lightly pat on the under eye area to set the concealer so it doesn’t crease.
  6. Loreal magic lumi pure light primer: apply to the bridge of the nose and top of the cheek bones to create highlight.
  7. Elf cosmetics blush in gotta glow (highlighter): use a blush brush to lightly brush onto cheek bones for more highlight.
  8. MAC Solar riche bronzing powder: with a contour brush, contour the hollows of my cheeks and my temples.
  9. Elf cosmetics brow set in light: I love the taupe brow powder, works great with a angled shadow brush to contour and shape my nose. Straighten it, narrow it, etc.
  10. Loreal true match super-blendable blush: with a blush brush, swirl in the product and apply to the apples of my cheeks.
  11. MAC prep and prime transparent finishing powder: apply with large face brush all over my face to finish off the look.
  12. MAC fix+ spray (not in photo): lightly spray all over to set everything.

  1. Elf cosmetics eyelid primer in pearl: apply die fly to eyelids with applicator. Smooth out with ring finger.
  2. Urban decay naked 2 palette: I used booty call for base, main colors are chopper and YDK, darker shade busted, upper lashline blackout. Foxy on brow bone.
  3. Elf cosmetics brow set in light: apply brow gel with an angled brow brush. Use the brow powder to set.
  4. Dolly wink liquid eyeliner in black: I drew a thick line with a flick at the tail. My line tapers at the inner corner and widens at the end to make my eyes look bigger and rounder.
  5. Dejavu Lash Knockout: after curling my lashes, I apply some false lashes, wait for it to dry and apply 2 coats of this mascara. This is a water removable mascara so it is really safe on my oily eyelids! Apply to the lower lashes after the glitter liner so it doesn’t get into the lashes.
  6. Canmake silver glitter eyeliner: apply to the lower lash line to create that sparkle in my eyes! *wink*

20130402-233612.jpgLips:

  1. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lipbalm stain in smitten: this is a dark red/pink with a hint of purple. This is for the ceremony in the afternoon.
  2. Revlon matte lipstick in In the red: this is a creamy matte red with a hint of orange. Love this color on my skin color.
  3. Estée Lauder lipgloss in 114 Cranberry: this is a highly pigmented red lipgloss with no shimmer. Very glossy and stays on for a long time. Works perfectly with my matte red lipstick. I use this lipstick lipgloss combo for the reception.
