Makeup of the Day/ e.l.f mineral eyeshadows

What's on my face today?




Products used (Face): Garnier Skin Renew B.B. Cream in Light/Medium
e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain
Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette hidden agenda-07
NYX stay matte but not flat powder foundation in Nude




(Cheeks): Hoola by Benefit Cosmetics- bronzer
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish in Redhead as blush/highlight





For the eyes I used these e.l.f. Mineral eyeshadows

(Eyes): 1. Prime the entire eyelid with the e.l.f. Mineral Eyeshadow Primer in Sheer
2. Using the e.l.f. All-over Eyeshadow Brush apply Elegant (champagne, shimmer) on the inner half of the eyelid, concentrating most of the color in the inner 1/4 of the lid
3. Using the same brush, apply Dreamy (really pretty blue, shimmer) on 3/4 of the eyelid carefully avoiding the inner 1/4 of the lid (so Elegant remains seen mainly in the tear duct area)
4. Then using e.l.f. Blending Eye Brush, blend out any harsh lines. With the Blending Brush, pick up a small amount of Enchanting (taupe-brown, matte) and sweep above Dreamy avoiding the highlight area underneath the brow. So this shadow becomes the transition shade between Dreamy and the highlight
5. Then with a clean blending brush sweep Innocent (ivory, matte) underneath the brow as the highlight.
6. With the e.l.f. Smudge Brush take Confident (bronze, shimmer) underneath the lower lash line, making a 'wing' on the outer lower lash line towards the brow
7. Apply Elegant to the lower inner lash line/ tear duct area
8. Line lower waterline with NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
9. Curl lashes and apply ULTA Voluptuous Volume Mascara in Jet Black
10. Finally fill in brows with the Coastal Scents Brow Tones palette

(Lips): NYX Matte Lipstick in Nude
MAC Lusterglass in Flusterose
