My Everyday Look

So this is basically what my makeup & hair looks like on a daily basis and it has been this way throughout Summer and Fall. I do switch up my eyeshadow colors alot but they usually stay pretty neutral. My hair is naturally wavy/curly so i can shampoo, comb, and spritz in some Aussie Sprunch Spray when its 1/2 dry after pulling the bangs back to achieve this look.

Its pretty quick and very simple for me to do which is important because i'm a stay at home mom so all the laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, feeding the dogs, running errands, paying bills, sweeping & mopping the floors, cooking, and taking care of my daughter is left up to me everyday. Therefore i need something quick & easy so i can get back to doing what i need to do for the day.

The Power of Makeup

I recently did an FOTD using the new Wet N Wild summer products, and at the time i had taken photos of my full face routine. I did post them on Luuux but i was a little self conscious of posting them anywhere else... just to be honest. However, Huda inspired me to go ahead and post them thanks to the one she recent did. Everyone please check out her blog!! :)

Thanks to the a new foundation I tried, i have had a recent breakout (ugh!!) so i am currently trying to cover that up which means i need alot of concealer. You can read the steps below, or view them above.

My Routine

1. I begin with a bare face and apply a primer like L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base.
2. I then use a small concealer brush to apply a green concealer like Physicians Formula Conceal Rx in Soft Green to any red spots or blemishes.
3. After that has dried (its quick) i use Physicians Formula Conceal Rx in Light which is skin tones to cover the green concealer.
4. I pat around the edges of the concealer to soften it.
5. After that i apply my foundation with a stippling duo fibre brush (Sigma F50) which is a mix of 1/2 Maybelline Fit Me in 115, and L'Oreal TrueBlend in Porcelaine.
6. I allow my foundation to set for about 5 minutes then i top it with an M.U.F.E HD Powder to nix any oiliness.
7. After im finished with my face i continue on to my eye makeup, which in this case was Wet N Wild The Gilded Age eyeshadow trio.
8. I finished with Wet N Wild Everything Under The Sun Bronzer and Wet N Wild lipstick in Bare It All.

Thats it!! I can do this process in 10-15 minutes if rushed but i tend to take my time in order to ensure i get it just right, LOL. I think i look a million times better with makeup and while i dont always wear a full face i sometimes just do eyeliner + mascara and leave it at that.

Once my face clears up, because its summer, i'll be using a tinted moisturizer instead of foundation.

FOTD: 6/16/11

A few people requested an FOTD featuring the new Wet N Wild Summer products, The Gilded Age Trio, and Everything Under The Sun Bronzer.. so here it is! :). *All photos are mine. Enjoy!

Below are the products I used on my face, they are categorized into sections for easier viewing. Click the links above to see reviews/swatches of the new WnW products.

Maybelline The Falsies waterproof mascara in Brownish Black

Eyebrows

CoverGirl Clean Pressed Powder in Buff
WnW Everything Under The Sun Bronzer on cheek bones

I started by applying my face makeup (concealers, foundation, powder), then went to my eye makeup and finished with bronzer and lipstick. It took me about 20-25 minutes to complete the look but i can do it faster if im in a hurry LOL.

I am totally in love with these WnW Summer products and i realized vie been using them every day since i purchased them at CVS. I know a lot of people assume there are tons of dupes for these but i don't have a ton in my collection and i love that the trio has 3 perfectly matches shadows for a complete eye look in one travel friendly palette!
