NOT A BOOK POST (just so you know)!!!!
I get a lot of questions about makeup and what not because if you know me at all you'll know I have two faces. I really enjoy makeup and kind of nerd out (if that's possible when talking about makeup but I've done it so there you go) about makeup. SoOoOo I thought I'd kind of dole out some unsolicited advice about what I've learned and know about doing my own face. So if you're interested in that read on. HERE WE GO
Okay so let's start with the actual face. What kind of foundation (or lack there of) you use will depend on your skin type. I personally don't have super oily or super dry skin, although I do lean on the dry side on occasion like now since it's winter sigh. But because of that I don't use full coverage foundations. I find them to be too thick and heavy so I just like to use a BB cream which is basically just a tinted moisturizer which is perfect for light coverage and a bit more moisture. I like the Amazonian Clay BB cream by the brand Tarte. It is a higher end brand so it is kind of pricey so if you want one that basically does the same job I liked the CoverGirl BB cream too. Also, a good full coverage foundation for people with oily skin (or so I've heard) is the Revlon color stay foundation. I've never used it but so many people highly recommend it so if you've got the kind of skin, that foundation might be a good way to go.
(Side Note: I also like to use a Too Faced's Primed and Poreless primer it makes my face feel so smooth. Also I like this Garnier dark circle eye roller that I use as concealer I forget what it's called but it's really nice.)
Wow this is going to be a long post okay ONTO EYES. Eye makeup can be a bit intimidating so I'll just go through a quick rundown of what I do. I prime my eyes with Urban Decay's eye primer and then I line my upper lashes with a pencil liner. Now the way you do your eyeshadow (or don't) is up to you. I just us a bone color under my brows as highlight then I add usually taupes or browns into my crease for depth and I like to use golds or coppers on my lids. If you find eyeshadow intimidating (like I did omg so scary) I recommend trying Almay's intense eye color shadow trio's in your eye color. On my waterline I wear white eyeliner to make my eyes even bigger looking and one of the shadows I used in my crease to line my lower lash line. Then I add a layer of liquid liner over the pencil liner. As far as mascara goes I like Too Faced's Better Than Sex and when I say like I mean I WILL NEVER USE ANOTHER MASCARA EVER.
And we all know I love red lipstick. That's all you need to know about lips. Just wear red.
Well that's the basics pretty much. I'm not like super knowledgeable about this stuff but I know how to do my own face okay and get asked for advice or questions about the stuff I use so idk I thought this might be helpful.
If you've read this whole thing omg bless you you're a trooper. Also here's a picture of my first face just so y'all know that I don't wear makeup because I'm insecure or hate my face. I just like it. Okay I'm done. The next post will be back to our regularly scheduled book nerdyness.
