Daily Face Products


Everyday I try to venture out a bit with my makeup by wearing a different foundation, eyeshadow and lipstick. Although the look may not be extremely, noticeably different I like knowing my makeup is being put to use. Nonetheless there are a few products I use on a daily basis. 



BeneFit Stay Don't Stray- I always begin a look by applying Benefit Stay Don't Stray primer all over the eyelids and brow bone. This primer helps eyeshadows last longer throughout the day and gives the lid a brightening palette effect. 

Bobbi Brown Corrector- The corrector helps neutralize under-eye circles, making eyes look healthier and brighter. The creamy formula glides effortlessly, by using patting motions with the ring finger. 

Laura Mercier Secret Concealer- After the corrector I use the secret concealer to brighten under eye circles. This concealer is highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. Using a soft brush helps give an airbrush finish.

Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage- This concealer is a high coverage concealer, which is why it is meant to be used to conceal blemishes, scars or any discolorations on the face. The compact includes two shades that can be blended to create the perfect shade. I use this concealer when I have a lot of redness on my cheeks, a blemish or sometimes to conceal the discoloration around my mouth. (The light shade is also great for highlighting the brow bone, around the eyes and the cupids bow)

Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder- I love this powder! I know my concealer will not crease because this powder sets it in place and brightens the eyes in a subtle way. The powder contains micronized pigments giving the eyes a brightening effect with an weightless feel. 

Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder- And after my foundation has been applied my finishing touch is with this Traslucent powder. A loose setting powder that is universal gives a satiny finish, setting foundation for a long lasting wear and giving a "soft-focus" appearance. 

What are your daily face products? Do we share any of these? 
Thanks for stopping by :)

Bobbi Brown Corrector and Creamy Concealer



Both Contain .05 oz (1.4g)
US $22.00 each

         I decided to review Bobbi Brown's corrector and creamy concealer together because I pair them both on a daily basis. Under-eye concealer is what makes many of us look awake and ready for the day. It is a great tool to cheat your previous night of only a few hours of sleep. 
         Bobbi Brown corrector and creamy concealer work great together giving my eyes and face a fresh and clean look. The corrector can be either pink or peach based and is used to neutralize the under-eye darkness. The creamy concealer helps to brighten the under-eye area. Both products are creamy and easy to blend. Although the texture is creamy, it is also a bit waxy which helps the product adhere to the skin. I tend to prefer using my fingers rather than a brush to apply the products. For long-lasting results I set the concealer with Laura Mercier's translucent loose setting powder. Having tried other concealers from brands such as Clinique, Revlon, L'oreal, Maybelline and Rimmel, I have come to the conclusion that they do not compare to the results I get with Bobbi Brown's corrector and creamy concealer. Not only do they wear for 8 + hours, both products can last for a while. I have had mine for over 6 months with every day use. 
         If you are looking for an under-eye concealer that is creamy and looks natural, think about stopping by the Bobbi Brown counter to check out these concealers. It is extremely helpful that they carry a wide selection of colors for both the corrector and creamy concealers. So there is a high chance you will find one that suits your skin tone and undertone perfectly.

Start with the corrector and then follow with the creamy concealer. Use your ring finger, and do patting motions. End with a translucent loose powder to set the concealers.
And no more shadows under the eyes!
