♡ today's makeup. ♡

Today's make up consisted of these products pictured and a few that are not pictured. Continue to read to find out and to see the final product! (Side note: I am not sponsored at all. I am also not a professional makeup artist. I just do this because it's a hobby of mine and I love learning new things, as far as makeup goes. ♡)

moisturizer, toner, & primer.

I first moisturized with The Body Shop's Vitamin E Moister Cream, then I sprayed Lush Cosmetics' Eau Roma Water over. I know you can also use Eau Roma Water before moisturizing, but this is how I like to do it instead. :) Then I prime my face using Benefit's The POREfessional. It minimizes the appearance of pores, it's lightweight, oil-free, and contains vitamin E. I applied this all over my face.

foundation. 

And foundation is obviously next! What I used was Rimmel's Match Perfection in 101 Ivory. Not a surprise. I feel like I talk about this foundation aaaaalllll the time! Sadly, I need to buy a different shade because the sun is out, its spring, and I'm slowly getting darker. Which is a bummer because I just bought this bottle and a newer one in the same shade. :( But anyway, I just applied blotches of it onto my face and down my neck. Then I used a makeup sponge to blend and buff until it looked like skin, basically. I had to do two layers to get better coverage because spots. :( I'm currently debating on whether or not I should buy a beauty blender. Leave a comment below if you have one and recommend it/don't recommend it. :)

concealer.

So... Something tragic happened to me yesterday. I LOST my concealer. It was fairly new as well. ;( BUT if I did have my concealer, I would have used Maybelline's Age Rewind Dark Circles Treatment Concealer. If you want to read more about it, you can find it here on a post I did at the beginning of the month. It's number 18 on the post and if you have one of these, you know how horrible of a loss this is to me. 

I would apply this under my eyes, on the bridge of my nose, and onto my spots. And blend using the same makeup sponge.

powder foundation.

I topped off the foundation (and concealer if I had it with me) with Rimmel's Stay Matte in the shade 001 Transparent. I used the 106 by Zoeva makeup brush to apply.

bronze & highlight. 

This is a new toy of mine! I literally just got it yesterday and, so far, I love it. I'll write a review on this in the future, once I fully have experience with it. I used the 102 by Zoeva for bronzing in the hollows of my cheeks after doing a fishy face. (insert fishy emoji) I also ran it up on the hairline of my forehead and on my jaw. Then I highlighted above my cheeks and made a "C" shape going up to my eyebrow bone. I used 110 by Zoeva to apply. This is the Lowlight/Highlight Perfecting Palette by Becca.

blusher.

I used MAC's Matte Blush in Melba onto my cheeks. It doesn't look it, but it is very pigmented. It's a peachy shade and I've been using it a lot recently. Anyway! I used my 127 by Zoeva to apply it onto the apples of my cheeks. 

eye shadow primer & eyeshadow.

I completely forgot to grab a shot of my eye shadow primer, but it's Elf's Eye Primer & Liner Seal. Its a double sided tube, and I used the primer side. I'm also currently testing it to see if it works, like it says it does, and if I like it. The concealer itself is a stick, so instead of directly applying onto the lid, I applied it onto my finger and from there onto my lid. Then I used Maybelline's 24hr Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow. Can I just say something? I LOVE cream eyeshadows and this one is the best one I've ever tried. It's very pigmented, you can do so much with it on your lid, you can wear it as a base, or wear it alone! Anyway, this is in the shade Bad to the Bronze. I recommend this one if you don't know which shade to pick up. I just propped this onto my lid with my fingers. Nothing special done here. :) My personal goal is to hit pan with this.

eye liner.

As for eyeliner, I went and decided to do a cat flick. I always start at the outer corner of my lid, to get the flick just right. And I use a different eyeliner to finish what's needed on the lid itself. For the flick, I use Tarte's Precision Longwear Liner. It's very pigmented and has a skinny felt tip, and I LOVE THIS. It's been my holy grail as of late. Then I run down my lid with Tarte's Inner Rim Liner. This is amazing. It's a liner pencil with a twisty, so I don't have to sharpen it. It's also very pigmented and stays on all day without smudging or wearing off.

eyebrows.

I am in love with this product. For eyebrows, I use Tarte's Amazonian Clay Volumizing Brow Powder in the shade Rich Brown. This makes my eyebrows look so natural and so happy, if that makes sense. I apply this on with 317 by Zoeva. (I should probably do a Zoeva review) 

mascara. 

Tarte's Lights, Camera, LASHES is my favourite mascara product to use. Thanks to Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty! This is what it looks like. It's an all around great mascara for lengthening, thickening, and just everything really. I even gave one to my mom and she absolutely loves this mascara. But anyway, I just applied this to my top lashes.

lips.

To finish today's makeup, I applied MAC's Matte lipstick in Velvet Teddy. This is an all around favourite and I love to wear it because I feel like it gives me a hint of the 90s. It's a lovely nude. 

final product.

 This is how it looks, overall. I really love how my eyeshadow came out. 

I also really think that the nude lipstick did a great final touch.

If you have any ideas as to what else I should write about, let me know in the comments below! If you decide to do this look, send me a picture and let me know how it went! Because I'm honestly really eager to know! :) Also comment if you own any of these products and what you think of them. Or comment what you want from these products listed. AND comment below concerning the hype of a beauty blender - if its worth it or not. Hope to hear from you all soon!
