Today's Make Up: Light Makeup for Errands

Happy Friday all! We got through yet another week so yay to that! Hope you'll all have a fantastic weekend.

My crazy weekend started today with my brother and I running all around town doing errands. It's so hot out, I'm begging for rain but there is absolutely no chances of precipitation today whatsoever. The temperature keeps rising as I slowly fry to death.. AH, IT'S SO HOT!

My skin is basically back to its original state, healthy and not a battle zone where pimples go to die. Thanks to my perseverance of not wearing makeup whenever possible, diligently doing steam facial, scrubs and masks, drinking lots and lots of water and eating clean, my skin is super healthy again. Yay!

If this taught me anything, it made me realize that it's okay to not wear makeup all the time. I've learned to appreciate my bare skin, blemish and all, just as long as it's healthy.

I want to quickly share with you all what I have on today. A little bit of concealer, some neutral gold eyes with winged liner and pretty pink lips. That's enough for me today.

Today's Make Up: Current Go-To Makeup Part 2

Happy Friday everyone! How are you guys doing?

I was supposed to go swimming today but instead I had an emergency to attend to. Even though it is now Friday, I am having a not so great day...Ughh. Had some repair men come in to work on the house today so had to get some makeup on. I needed at least 15 minutes of therapeutic time to myself.

Today's make up is extremely similar to what I wore on Wednesday. I just switch up the eyeshadow and lips, everything else stayed the same.

FACE
Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette in Hidden Agenda
L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB in Fair
Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder in Fair
NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny
Wet N Wild Color Icon Blusher in Pearlescent Pink
Hard Candy Baked Bronzer in Tiki

EYES
ELF Eyelid Primer
Milani Brow & Eye Highlighters in Matte Cream/Luminous Lift
Essence Eyeshadow (metallic effect) in Big Bang
Wet N Wild Mega Liner Liquid Eyeliner in Black
Holika Holika Jewel-Light Under Eye Maker in White
Maybelline The Mega Plush Volumizing Express Mascara (waterproof)

LIPS
Josie Maran Magic Marker Lip & Cheek Stain in Jitterbug
NYX Butter Gloss in Creme Brulee

I used Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette to conceal all the blemishes on my face. I used the lighter shade under my eyes, the darker shade on acne scars and the yellow tone corrector to conceal the redness around my nose and on my cheeks. With my clean fingers, I start dotting my face with the BB Cream then evenly blended the product out. I set with one of my favorite pressed powder and continued on with contour and highlight. For my cheeks, I will switch it out with other shades from time to time, but for today, I am using a coral shade that will give me an instant glow but still looking natural.

I prepped my eyes by priming it before using Milani Brow & Eye Highlighters to my browbone and inner eye corners. I applied it straight from the pencil and used my clean fingers to gently blend it out. With a flat eyeshadow brush, I swept it across Big Bang and packed that all over my lids, pulling it slightly above my crease. This next step is totally optional, I actually did it today, but I took a pencil brush and dip that into Big Bang and applied that to my outer corner and crease. I then took a clean fluffy brush to buff out the edges to clean them up. Taking my favorite liquid liner, I thinly lined my upper lash line and slightly winging it out. I used the shadow pencil end of my Holika Holika Jewel-Light Under Eye Maker to make a light line under my lower lash line. Then I used the pearly white side to fill in the gap between my lash line and that line I just made. I glided this from my inner corner all the way to my outer corner, concentrating more at the inner corner. Again, I didn't even curl my lashes today and just applied mascara on my lower lash line.

Today, I paird my pink eyes with pinkish nude lips. Before I start doing anything with my lips, I never forget to give 'em a good scrub then apply a moisturizing lip balm. I used Jitterbug in the inner part of my lips, top and bottom. Let that dry before applying another layer. Pop the lips so the tint will apply evenly. After that's dried, I used NYX Butter Gloss in a nude shade called Creme Brulee and applied a thin layer all over my lips.

After everything, I lightly mist my work with Avene Thermal Spring Water.

Today's Make Up: Windy Wednesday

Hey there... how you doin? It is yet another fine day, a very windy day in Arizona. Another day, another made up face. So what's on your face today?

My make up today is wind proof, meaning nothing on my face is tacky or sticky. I don't know about you, but windy days, bold creamy lipsticks and long loose hair just does not mix. My hair would fly all over my face and stick to my lips then pull the lip color and transfer the color all over making my face into a map.

FACE

ELF Mineral Blemish Powder
ELF Studio Baked Highlight in Blush Gems
Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Pink Frosting
Maybelline Dream Mousse Bronzer in Sun Glow

Essence 100% Splash-Proof Eyeliner Pen in Ultra Black

LIPS
Nivea Lip Butter in Raspberry Rose Kiss
Josie Maran Magic Marker Lip & Cheek Stain in Jitterbug

And just like that, we're about to end Wednesday. Can time fly any faster? Zoom, zoom...we start April next week. Sigh, slow down time, slow down just a bit.

Thank you for visiting and thanks for reading. :)
