It is time to put my face on this blog, let's get real here. Just a quick makeup of the day.
I started out with Revlon Photoready Foundation in either number 004 Nude, and buffed that into the skin with a RealTechniques buffing brush. I then applied MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in NW20 and an ELF highlighting concealer and blended that out with a sigma F86.
I set my undereye with the Vanilla shade in the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit and a bit of Dim Light in the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette. I set the rest of my face with MAC mineralized skin finish natural in medium. For the eyes I had no idea when I started what I wanted to do, so the steps were fairly disjointed. I started with M5 in the Smashbox Full Exposure eyeshadow palette and just blended that in the crease with a Sigma E40, then to deepen the crease I used M6 with an E25. I then applied Buxom's Stay-There Eyeshadow in Chihuahua with a flat shader brush. I then went back and deepened up the crease again with M5 and M6 as well as blended M3 around the outer edge to warm up the look a bit. I then moved onto brows which I used M6 and M5 as well because I didn't have any specific brow products handy, then I set them with Benefit Gimme Brow in Light/Medium which I have decided is just a bit too light for my liking.

Once brows were done I went in with S4 still in the Full Exposure palette under the brow bone and in the tear duct as well as highlighted my nose, cheekbones, and cupid's bow. I swept M5 and M6 along the lower lashline then I started with GOSH Extreme Art Eye Liner in number 25, a really lovely gunmetal grey, but it wasn't quite dark enough so I did add my Physician's Formula Eye Booster Pen in Ultra Black just to amp up that top lash line a little bit. I curled lashes and used L'Oreal Lash Out Butterfly Waterproof in Blackest Black. I then decided this look needed a pop of colour so I used my Sephora Contour Eye Pencil in #23 Summer Cruise.
To finish off the face I used Fawn in the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit to contour and bronze a bit, and in the ELF Contouring Blush & Bronzer in St Lucia I just used the blush. I lined then filled in my lips with a NYX Retractable lip liner in Vanilla Sky, and just tapped on some Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask in Champagne. I took a bath in Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, and this is the final result!
