Makeup Of The Day

 

Hello my makeup enthusiasts, today I wanted to bring a #MOTD for you. Lets be honest not many of us have been wearing much makeup now that we have been quarantined. However, this is my take on very minimal makeup just to enhance my face a little even when I am just going to wear a face mask over it all. I apologize since Fiona Stiles has been discontinued. I have been trying to use up items in my collection.  

I didn't add a moisturizer nor a primer I went straight into It Cosmetics YSBB CC+ Color Corrector (medium) under my eyes and spread it out into my eyelids to use as an eye primer. I placed some on my chin and forehead to balance out the brightness. 

Then I went in with my Hourglass foundation stick (beige) and blend it out all over my face and into the CC+.  I set the foundation and CC+ with the Ambient Lighting Edit - G.U. (finishing powder, soft light)

Added some shade on the hollows of my face; first with the Mac MSFN (med-dark) then went in with the Maybelline Fit Me matte & pore less (360 mocha). Being as soft as possible. Used two shades to make a transition and not have to much of a harsh line. I could have done my nose, but I wear glasses so I didn't really feel the need. 

Topping my cheeks with a bit of color. I used the NYX HD Blush (amber/HDB11).  I did not use a highlight today because my skin's radiance eventually peeks through I didn't find it necessary to add more shine. 

Moving onto brows, I used Benefit  Ka-Brow! (6). I really feel that this years and some of last years trend was and will be thick bushy brows. Thanks to quarantine because it was getting expensive to keep up, I am not mad. Now I just use a hair removing cream and clean up my brows and it takes 7 minutes. I can do a quick demo next time. I am not one to worry to much on my brows.  

My eyes on the other hand can be my focus. I am sorry I used a discontinued product today. I have been trying to shop my own stash because well quarantine has been helping at that. Fiona Stiles was and is one of my favorite brands with great formulas and products. Her eyeshadow quads are very easy and effortless to use. I used the quad in Canyon and its one of favorite quads in my collection. One can definitely make a smokey eye look or just and everyday wearable look with a single quad.  

Just to finish up the eyes I used the Wet n Wild eyeliner (880 dark brown) and Mac MME Lash Charged Black mascara. Also bringing the dark color of the quad to my lower lash line for more definition. On my lips I have Mover 160 Super Stay Matte Ink liquid lipstick by Maybelline. A very mauve wearable shade. It can come off as both a brown undertone or purple undertone. 

Finally, product not shown in picture above but I used the Morphe continuous setting mist to bring it all together. I am not sure if this just happens to me or other people also but there are parts of my face that my foundation wont stick to. It drives me insane.. mostly around my jawline. Anyways I hope this post was of any help or just a good read. XOXO
