Typical Face of the Day

I wanted to show my daily go to makeup. It's the look I usually wear to school, or shopping, or sometimes even out to lunch or dinner or something. It's quick, takes about 10-15 minutes, and it looks good. :) I was going to do a step by step picture montage, but for some reason when I upload a photo here it rotates it...the wrong way. So anyway...


The picture is taken with my IPhone, so it's not the most awesome quality in the world, but you get the idea.
On my face I am wearing:

  • Benefit POREfessional
  • Skin79 Super BB Cream
  • Benefit Erase Paste
  • E.L.F Complexion Perfection
  • Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in "Wonder" (a peachy pink with golden shimmer)
  • Wet n Wild Mega Last Lip Color in "Just Peachy" (a matte peachy pink)
  • Tarte Lipsurgence Lip Luster in "Sweet"  (neutral pink with a slight gold shimmer)
  • E.L.F Eyebrow Kit in "medium"



Here is a closer look at my eyes. On them I am wearing:
  • Urban Decay Primer Potion in "Eden" (all over the lid)
  • L'Oreal Infallible Eye shadow in "Perpetual Purple" (all over the lid, and blended to fade out into the crease, also smudged underneath the lash line)
  • Wet n Wild Vanity Palette (the lightest matte shade, used to help blend)
  • Urban Decay Sin from the Naked Palette (as an inner highlight)
  • Physician's Formula Gel Liner for green eyes. ( I used the black shade with green sparkle, on my eyelid, and just a tiny bit smudge under the lash line)
  • Tarte Lights, Camera Lashes mascara (1 coat)

This eye look works well for glasses, because the eye shadow is a very bold color, so it can still be seen through the frames, yet it tones it down. I wing the eyeliner out a bit, for dramatic flair, since my glasses cover up so much of my eye! 

Tell me what you think! But remember...I am an amateur!

  1. I think this looks fantastic! Your lashes are gorgeous... I may have to pick up some of that Tarte mascara. I've been hearing a lot about it, and my lashes need some serious help!

  2. It's the greatest mascara EVER! In my opinion of course!
