The Power of Makeup

  
Hey everyone!  Welcome to BLOGUST day 1!  I thought a great way to start off would be to do this “Power Of Makeup” post that I’ve seen everyone doing.  This is inspired by a girl on YouTube named Nikki Tutorials.  I heard a lot of buzz about her post and decided to do it too.  I basically just applied makeup to half of my face – as I’m sure you can tell in the picture!

Never be ashamed by your bare face, but also don’t be ashamed to be like me – a girl that wears makeup every single day.  I get up early (before my girls get up) just so I can take the time to get myself ready in the morning.  I don’t want to walk by a mirror in a store and see myself without makeup. I feel more put together, more awake, and more confident with it on.  I love to choose which products I’m going to wear that day, and experiment with different looks.  It is really my favorite hobby! 
So, here is my bare face on the left side.  I’ve got sparse brows, hyperpigmentation, and a little bit of redness around my nose, and makeup covers all of that up!

Here’s what I used on the right side:

 

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water

Dior Star Foundation in Ivory

Mac Prep + Prime in Radiant Rose

NARS Creamy Concealer in Chantilly
NARS Light Reflecting Powder in Translucent Crystal
NYX Blush in Taupe (contour)

Clinique Cheek Pop in Rose Pop

Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Urban Decay Smoked Palette

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner

Benefit Roller Lash Mascara

Lipstick Queen Lipstick in Medieval

Stay tuned tomorrow for a new post!

Thanks for reading 🙂
