My natural look

 

Something that I have gotten a lot into lately is make-up.  I LOVE make-up.  My everyday look is a natural look.  I pretty much wear a natural look most days especially to work, but here and there I spice it up with a little bold lip color.  Any who, here is my natural look. 

My primary make-up brand is MAC. 

Foundation and Powder:  MAC NC50 and Pressed Powder in Deep Dark 

Brows:  Covergirl Brow and Eyemaker in the Midnight Brown shade.  I also prefer to get my eyebrows waxed rather than threaded.  It just looks neater to me.

Eye Shadow:  Too Faced Natural Eye with the color “push-up” on my lid, and I mix colors “erotica” and “cocoa puff” in my crease.  I don’t have a brow highlight in this picture

Eye Liner:  Maybelline Gel Lasting Drama in Black.  Eyeliner is the one makeup component that I “MUST” wear.  I think I’ve worn eye liner for so long that I just can’t go without it now.

Blush:  Nyx “Pinched.”   I love Nyx blushes.  They are comparative to NARS blushes for way cheaper.  They last all day too

Lips:  MAC lip liner in “chestnut” and Maybelline NY Colorsensational Lip Color in color “Nearly There” #205.  This lip color is turning into one of my daily lip colors.  It’s a pretty nude color for my skin tone, and it’s moisturizing.  I sure hope they don’t discontinue this color anytime soon. 

I plan to do a favorite MAC lip colors post here real soon.  Out of all the makeup components, lip colors are my favorite.  Having two young kids really takes up my time, so being able to throw on a bold lip color makes it look like my makeup is all done when actually it isn’t.  I watch a lot of makeup you tube videos.  What I’ve learned is that you don’t have to buy all the high end priced makeup to get the same looks.  All of the drugstore brands like Revlon and Maybelline have dupe colors that match the high end brands.  I do splurge on some higher end brands, but when I’m trying out colors, I love a good drugstore brand.

Any who, stay tuned for more chronicles to my new makeup obsession.  The saga will definitely continue….
