I clearly have far from perfect skin, but when I do wanna wear full makeup I go to my "holy grail" foundation routine. Also the picture makes my face look lighter than my neck but it was just the lighting.

L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation

L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base

Mac Select Cover Up "NC30"

NYC Loose Powder "Naturally Beige"

Maybelline Dark Circle Concealer

ELF Finish Spray

Start off with a clean and moisturized face.

Put on your base for a smooth canvas.

Conceal what you need to conceal, this will help with putting on less foundation. With a tapered blending brush to make the concealer look airbrushed.

Foundation in circle motions with a synthetic flat top brush. 

Using a fan brush lightly to dust the t-zone with the powder just for lasting purposes.

Review: Mac Cosmetics "Dipdown" Fluidline

On the website: Ultra-smooth, Fluidline's gel formula provides the precision of a liquid liner with a silkier, softer finish. Goes on “foolproof” with a brush in an easy dip-and-stroke action. Long-wearing. Smudge-proof. Lines up in a rich array of colours and finishes.

Hi make-up lovers! Long time no review, I've been extremely busy and enjoying my summer. 

Dipdown is a brown fluidline, and from my experience with fluidlines-- they're wonderful and creamy don't smudge one bit. Dipdown brows are all over instagram, and I wanted to catch onto the hype and see if it is really what it lives up to.

 $16.00

3 g/0.1 ounce

Okay, lets get to it... It is creamy, and a little goes a long way. I'll be posting up ways for softer natural brows and the more dramatic clean brow in another post. It is smudge proof, and it does take a strong make-up wipe to take this off. Dip down is also a little tiny bit water proof. I've only used this on my brows, and it's easy to work with. What I love about this is that it can be built up and natural but dramatic if wanted. This product lasts all day, I swear by it. When I wore this everyday in Vegas, it wouldn't smudge or budge! 

Purple and Gold sandwich with a gradient pink crease, I looooooooveee this gold! 

Sinful Colors Shine Nail Polish W/Gel Tech

$2.99

Long lasting with gel technology.

Collection is mostly creams and has similar colors in the regular line. 

First when I saw this, I was very skeptical because it's so cheap. But I said "might as well, yolo." Haha, this is a beautiful lavender cool toned pink color. 

Application: OH mannnn! So shiny with just one coat, it's sheer but it builds up so beautifully just after two coats! The shine is definitely there, even without an topcoat. 

Lasting Power: Lasted all week, crazy and the shine still stayed. 

I fell in love so much I don't like trying out any new colors. This color and application+ lasting power, it's everything I want in an nail polish.

Try this out, it's CHEAP & amazing!
