An Everyday Face



I'm one if those girls that "puts their face on" every morning.  I mean EVERY MORNING.  When I have to go to work, church, shopping, and even when I plan on staying in my house alone all day.  I've done this for as long as I've worn make-up, which is since my first year of high school...  That's 15 years.

It's honestly not as burdensome as it may sound; I admit it does sound a bit labor intensive, but putting on makeup is a security blanket of sorts and I enjoy taking the time.  Hair?  Well that's a different story... for another time.

Here's what my face consists of these days:
Clinique All About Eyes- Got a sample awhile ago, and think it makes applying concealer a smoother process.
Maybeline Instant Age Rewind Concealer- Must get rid of the under-eye circles!
Loreal Magic Lumi Concealer/Highlighter- Another weapon in my never-ending battle against those circles...
Everyday Minerals mineral powder foundation- It's cheap and effective!  I never mastered the liquid foundation application, and my first failure is ever etched in my mind... 
Wet 'N Wild MegaGlo highlighter- This is my blush!  Must use a light hand.
Everyday Minerals finishing dust- I'm not too sure if this is actually doing anything, but I think I've detected a bit of difference...possibly...  The jury's still out.

Maybeline Color Tatoo eyeshadow base in Bad to the Bronze- I've been using this everyday for the past 2 months!
Urban Decay's Bootycall eyeshadow- The perfect highlighter color for me.
Urban Decay's Busted eyeshadow- No more eyeliner pencils for me!  I've been using the eyeshadow liner method with this Naked II Palette color.
Urban Decay's Lush Lash mascara- A birthday gift from my sister, it does a great job of lengthening with no yucky clumpage.

Extras in my bag...
Covergirl Eye CC cream- I want to like this...I really want to like this.
Pixi Bronzer- I'm not so confident about my bronzer application skills, but I like to have the option handy.
Avon Lash Super Curlacious Mascara- I don't know why I still have this after using the Urban Decay mascara, but I do.
