You can't make this stuff up!

Makeup, Makeup, Makeup, Makeup. I love makeup, playing with it, applying it, and buying it. So anywho, I went to the mall this past weekend and I got my makeup done by NARS and they made my skin look flawless, like actually flawless. I did what any sane person would do and dropped a stupid amount of money on buying the products, and what do you know? I got home and looked in the mirror and I looked stupid. Enter creativity: after a few failed attempts, I was able to make the products look natural and give me a flawless look, without being too heavy. So what did I use?

1) After I moisturized and applied my face primer by Smashbox, I used the concealer stick in Chantilly. Just blot onto your face and use your finger to smooth, but don't rub in.

2) Letting that sit for a bit, I then used the Sheer Glow Foundation in Siberia (I know, I thought the name was a joke too, turns out, I am that pale). The trick to this step is how you apply it, when I was at the store, they used a makeup sponge, but after trying to use a sponge at home, I found that it was too liquidy and it just bled right through the foam. What I ended up using to apply it was my MAC 190 Foundation brush (I bought it a super long time ago, and it was worth every penny!).

3) To set the foundation I just dusted Bare Minerals and my bronzer over top (with my blush and highlighter) and the finished look was the perfect mix of coverage and lightness.
