Yesterday's "Today's Make Up": Jury Duty

Hey guys! I made it out of Jury Duty alive! Don't get me wrong, I don't mind serving, I actually feel honored to be serving. It's a privilege and right reserved for an American citizen. I just despise the process. It's so tediously long... But enough about me, how are you guys?

So a little new twist today, today's post is about yesterday's make up... posted today. Even though it is a day late, I still wanna share with ya'll mainly because my make up was one of long-wearing proof. They're products I wear normally, maybe not together though, but when they're paired together they're forever lasting. And long-wearing was exactly what I needed, my make up was on from 5 AM to 7 PM.

After giving my face some great patting with my Olay moisturizer for Combo/Oily skin, I prepped my face by priming it with my Holy Grail of face primers. I concealed my under eyes with Pixi and the rest of my face with Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette. These two concealers are creamy but they aren't oil base so that will prevent me from getting oily. This Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous foundation is soooo long-wearing friendly, even in Arizona. It has great full coverage and does not lose said coverage at all throughout the day, not to mention it has the capability to control my oily skin. This foundation comes to a velvety finish so it is unnecessary to set it with a powder, but I feel incomplete skipping this step. I used my favorite bronzer to contour and sculpt my face. Then I used Heather Silk - a dusty rose shade on the apple of my cheeks. This blush is matte so to add a little shimmer shimmer and dimension back to my face, I used Tiki to highlight.

I start by priming my lids, this will help the color show up better and make it last all day. I used Wet N Wild Color Icon Trio in Sweet As Candy, I did a whole post about this trio so you can check it out here if you'd like. With a detailed brush, I took "browbone" to my inner corner and pulling that down to my lower lash line, about 1/3 way in. With a flat brush, I took "browbone" again and applied that to my browbone and packed it on my lid starting from my inner corner and pulling it a third way out to mid-lid. I flipped the brush around and packed "eyelid" all over my lid, from the inner all the way to the outer corner and pulling it slightly above my crease. With a pencil brush, I took "crease" onto my crease, outer corner, outer V and 1/3 of my lower lash line. With a clean fluffy blending brush, I blended and buffed everything together. I took that same flat brush and  took "eyelid" to my lower lash line and placed it between "browbone" and "crease", so in the center.  Ya know, that really reminds me of Napoleon ice cream. I thinly lined my upper lash line with my liquid liner, but instead of winging it upward, I pulled it down. Don't pull it down too much because that will look super weird, I basically just extended it from my lash a bit. To open up my eyes and make it seem more awake, I rimmed my waterline with a nude eyeliner pencil. To finish my eyes up, I heat up my eyelash curler with a blow dryer to curl my lashes then I generously coat my lashes with mascara, top and bottom. I used a waterproof formula because I find that they last me a lot longer than normal formulas and also keeps me smudge free.

Since I will be out all day, I needed something hydrating for my lips that will also last me all day and will also provide me with pigmented color. After I applied EOS onto my lips, I applied Sweetheart to my inner lips and let it sit for about three minutes. I then reapplied it again for more intensity. I could just leave my lips like that but it was a little too bright for such situation so I applied Cupcake on mu lips then took my fingers and GENTLY dab to blend the two shades together. This surprising me lasted me until about 2:30 when I got home.

To top everything off, I spritz a setting spray onto my face to lock everything in.

Please come back again soon, I have a couple of haul post, monthly fave, iPsy bag I will post very soon. Thank you for visiting and thank you for reading guys! :)
