Face of the Day: Red Lips!

I decided to rock some nice red lips today!  I'm getting SO excited for the holidays with my little one here this year, I couldn't resist being a little festive with my makeup today!

Products Used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden layered with Mac Paint Pot in Soft Ochre.  (Not pictured.  Individually, each of these crease on me, but layered they don't.)

Mac Eyeshadow in All that Glitters. (Placed on the lid)

Makeup Geek Eyeshadows in Creme Brulee and Frappe.  (Blended into the crease.  These shadows are AWESOME.)

Mac Fluidline in Blacktrack.  (As of right now, this is my HG eyeliner.)

Mac Haute & Naughty Too Black Lash.  (I have been liking this a lot more than I originally thought I would!  I layer using the volume wand first and then the length wand.)

Loreal True Match Magic Lumi Foundation.  (Very similar to one of my favorites, Neutrogena Healthy Skin, but this is a better winter shade for me.)

Mac Mineralize Concealer.  (My shade is NW20.  I love this because it doesn't settle in my fine lines.)

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light.  (This is barely yellow and helps hide any redness and blurs pores.  It's SO good!)

Anastasia Brow Wiz.  (I use Caramel to lightly define my brows and fill in bare spots.)
 

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer in Milk Chocolate/Light/Medium (Great for my skin tone in winter...not too dark and not too orange.  Plus it smells SO good!)

Mac Blush in Melba  (Perfect go-to peachy pink color that will be flattering on most skin tones.)

Dior Amber Diamond (Used as a cheek highlighter.  Beyond amazing!!!  Worth every penny!)

Bite Beauty Lipstick in VIB Rouge Red :)  (This came in the little package Sephora gave me when I made VIB Rouge!  It's just a very flattering bright red.)

Hope you enjoyed :)

Face of the Day: Easy Neutral Makeup

I did easy, neutral makeup today.  I'm trying to hide the fact that I'm fighting the tail end of a cold, so all my redness-covering products made their appearances this morning.

Products Used:

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden.  (Not a fan of this color...it creases on me, although the original doesn't.  I layer it with the next product to fend off creases.)

Mac Paint Pot in Soft Ochre.  (Actually found this at a CCO recently!  Great find, as it's part of Mac's permanent line.  It's lighter and more yellow than Painterly, but does the same thing.)

Mac Eyeshadows in Dazzlelight (on the lid) and Charcoal Brown (well-blended in the crease).

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Stingray.  (Went with waterproof since my eyes are all watery.)

Stila Kajal Eye Pencil in Topaz.  (Used on my waterline to hide redness.)

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Foundation.  (My shade is 40 Nude.  Applied with a Beauty Blender, it gives a nice glowy finish while still affording good coverage.)

Mac Mineralize Concealer.  (My shade is NW20.  Also applied with a Beauty Blender.  It's a lightweight concealer that amazingly does not settle into my fine lines, but it still covers my dark circles wonderfully!)

Anastasia Brow Wiz.  (I use Caramel to lightly define my brows and fill in bare spots.  My brows are a hot mess.)

Mac Haute & Naughty Too Black Lash.  (Recently opened this and still unsure how I feel about it.  I've been using just the skinnier lengthening brush, as the wider volumizing brush clumped on me.

Nars Laguna Bronzer.  (Dusted very lightly under my cheekbones just to warm up the skin a bit.)

Mac Blush in Peony Petal.  (This was limited edition for Summer 2012 in the Tres Cheek collection.  I found mine recently at a COO though!  It is just the prettiest bright pink.)

Mac Lipstick in Lustering, layered with Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Bellini.  (Super pretty combo...shout-out to Jaclyn Hill for introducing me to this one.)
