Hello all! It is now midweek, almost the weekend again guys... Just two more days. Who is excited??!
So today, I want to share with ya'll a makeup look I have been sporting a lot lately. I call it my Go-To Makeup because whenever I'm in a hurry or I don't feel like experimenting, this is what I end up wearing. It is easy and it will not take no more than 30 minutes of your time; my average time is 15 minutes.

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 Toasted and packed that all over my lids, pulling it slightly above my crease. This next step is totally optional, I skipped it today, but I would take a pencil brush and dip that into Toasted and apply that to my outer corner and crease. Whether I skip or do that step, I will then take 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 pink 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. I didn't even bother curling m lashes today and just applied mascara on my lower lash line.
I change up the lips every time. Any color of lips can be paired with this look in my opinion. I have paired it with orange, coral, pink, berry and nude, they all look great. Today though, I went for 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 Posietint 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 pinkish nude shade called Eclair and applied a thin layer all over my lips.
After everything, I lightly mist my work with Avene Thermal Spring Water.
And that took no more than 20 minutes today everyone. I think I look presentable.. right? :P
