Fall 2013 Daily Beauty Regime

 Face!

1. After moisturizing, apply a thin layer of MAC Prep & Prime Tinted face primer.
2. Apply MAC Studio Fix Concealer to any red spots and under the eye area. If you have oily skin I would recommend this concealer. However for dry skin, I would use a more liquid-based concealer to add moisture to the skin.
3. Take a kabuki brush and apply BareMinerals all over the face to desired coverage. Mineral make-up is the best because you can add coverage in layers without it looking cake-y.
4. Next, with an angled contour brush, I contour my cheeks with NARS Bronzer in "Laguna". Contouring your cheeks defines the face and lifts your cheek bones.

Eyes!

1. First prime your eyes with MAC Paint Pot in the neutral color "Painterly". Using a colored eye primer neutralizes any veiny or red discoloration under the thin layers of skin on the eye.
2. Next apply neutral eyeshadows of choice from the half-matte/half-shimmery Lorac Pro Palette.
3. Then for eyeliner, I have been in love with Marc Jacobs Highliner Gel Crayon. It's ridiculously smooth and effortlessly smudge-able. I leave my lower waterline clean and only apply this to my tight line and upper lash line.
4. Finish the eyes with Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara.

Lips!

1. On clean lips, apply any mauve/rose colored lip liner to ensure all-day color. I've been using Milani's Easy Liner in Rose Pink.
2. Finish off with a moisturizing tinted lip balm. I've been using either Burt's Bees in "Rose" or Yes to Carrots in "Soft Plum".
