Second Photo-Wearing Milani Lip Flash in Photo Flash

 I decided to post this picture so you can see a before and after of the eye makeup

Products Used/Steps

Face:

-After moisturizing my face I applied a thin layer of Chanel Vitalumiere foundation

-Under the eyes I patted Bobbi Brown corrector and then a bit of Laura Mercier Secret Concealer 

-To set concealer and for a bit of a brightening effect I used a fluffy brush and Laura Mercier Secret Brightening powder

-Chanel natural loose powder was applied all over (except under the eyes) with a large powder brush

-Using a angle blush brush (MAC 168) I contoured with MAC Blunt Blush

-Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Bronze was applied on the top of the cheekbones to highlight

Eyes:

-I filled in my brows using Milani Brow Kit 

-I began to prime and correct the lids with Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Buff (a shimmery/subtle champagne color)

-On the lids I patted MAC Shroom eyeshadow 

-On the brow bone and inner corners of the eyes I used the lightest strip of the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Bronze

-Then taking my bent eyeliner brush I lined my eyes with E.L.F. cream liner in Midnight

-I coated my lashes once with Prestige My Biggest lashes Mascara

-Ardell Accent Falsies in #301 were applied

-LORAC Multiplex 3D Lashes mascara was used on the lower lashes

Lips:

-Milani Lip flash in News Flash 02

-Milani Lip Flash in Photo Flash 04 

 Now for the quick review on Milani's Lip Flash Full Coverage Glossy Lip Pencils

Both lip flashes are opaque and deliver full coverage wear. They contain glitter but I do not find them to be drying or feel uncomfortable on my lips . However, I do find that News flash is creamier and easier to apply than Photo Flash. This may be because the glitter is more obvious on Photo Flash. In terms of lasting power I find that both have a good average wear (2 + hours) before the color begins to wear off. Overall, I am very happy with these lip pencils because they are pigmented as a lipstick with a glossier and glittery finish that does not look cheap. 
Available at Target and drugstores/ $6-7.00 each

Currently Loving....

    Hello everyone I decided to add a different type of post where I will feature the products I am currently loving. These products might look a bit boring because they mostly consist of daily products I use as part of my base. 

1. Laura Mercier Secret Concealer- For a long time I was a big fan of combining the Bobbi Brown corrector and creamy concealer but I think Laura Mercier's Secret Concealer beats the BB creamy concealer- I love how creamy it is and how a tiny bit goes a long way. I still do love my BB corrector!
2. Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder- this white brightening powder goes translucent (so it is universal on all skin shades) sets concealer all day and illuminates the under eye giving a beautiful-subtle effect. 
3. Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit (Medium)- My new go-to for filling in my brows! The brow kit includes a highlighter and two brow powder shades- perfect for defining and highlighting the brows! 
4. NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk- this white creamy pencil is perfect for giving more light to the brow bone!
5. MAC Blunt Blush- A matte golden brown blush that easily contours the face for defining the cheekbones
6. E.L.F. Cream Eyeliners in Black and Midnight- These cream eyeliners are so great! I love how creamy they are and the long wear they provide. Black is just a opaque true black while Midnight is a dark navy blue.

FOTD-Get More Out Of Your Products...

          Hello everyone :) This is the look I did today. My goal was to use a few products more than one way.  I used a pressed eyeshadow on the crease and to define my brows, a loose pigment for all over the lid, to highlight the brow bone and as a highlighter above the cheekbones, and a lipstick as a cream blush and a lip stain.

Products Used

Eyes:

E.L.F. Eyelid Primer

MAC Vanilla pigment (all over lid and brow bone and to highlight cheekbones)

Urban Decay eyeshadow in Buck (on the crease and to define brows)

MAC Blacktrack Fluidline

Prestige My Biggest Lashes

Lips: Hourglass Femme Rouge in Nocturnal; as a lip stain and as blush (sorry isn't really noticeable)

Which products do you love for their versatility?

FOTD- Green and Gold

       Today I decided to use MAC humid eyeshadow again, which is a gorgeous forest green that really pulls together the whole eye look. I recently did a look using humid, and both looks are very similar. In this look I used Goldmine eye shadow on the lid, and the previous one I used rice paper on the lid. I feel as if green colors really makes brown eyes pop, and who does not want that?

I kept the lips simple, using Hourglass Femme Rouge in Fresco (a MLBB lip color).
