Ladylike Touches

05/18/2016

IMG_3005

Some days I run errands and I’m bare faced. Other’s, especially when I will be out for more than a run to the corner store, I like to make myself look a tiny bit put together.Plus, it’s an excuse for me to try new makeup products! 😉

I’m late to this party, but the Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Liquid Makeup (My word! How long is the name?!) & Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer, live up to every bit of hype that surrounds these products. It is available in nearly every skin shade and undertone. It is light weight, feels like nothing on the skin and can be applied for more coverage if needed. For a boost of radiance I mix the MAC Cosmetics strobe cream on my cheeks before applying blush.

I was skeptical of the Tarte palettes, but both the eye and cheek are easy to apply and long lasting. Meaning your makeup will not disappear in an hour! The palettes come with a variety of colors, which work on light or dark skin tones.

A swipe of the Gwen Stefani for Urban Decay collection red lipstick and I’m nearly ready to be out the door. I love this color. It’s vibrant, although not in a Bozo The Clown kind of way. It’s long lasting and just in case I need a touch up, I carry the Too Face Melted lipstick in Ruby. This  is more of a gloss and wears down to a stain. It mixes well with the lipstick or on it’s own. A spritz (or a couple ;P) of the Express fragrance and that’s it!

P.S. Out of these products my FAVORITE item is the ELF  High Definition Under Eye Setting Powder. It cost $3 and can be applied under the eye or in the t-zone to prevent creasing and add subtle luminosity.

Clockwise:

  • Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Ultra Definition Foundation & Concealer
  • ELF Undereye High Def Setting Powder
  • MAC Cosmetics Strobe Cream (travel size)
  • Express Amaze Perfume
  • L’areal Eyebrow Tinted Plumper & Eyebrow Pencil in Brunette
  • Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
  • Tarte Tarteist Blush Palette
  • Too Faced Melted Liquified Lipstick in Ruby
  • Urban Decay Cosmetics Gwen Stefani Collab Lipstick in Rock Steady *discontinued
  • Revlon Colorstay Lipliner
  • Tarte In Bloom Eyeshadow Palette

Au Revoir Beauté!
