Makeup of the Day - March 16, 2010

Today was a pretty relaxed day. I didn't really do much until my mom called me on her way home and told me to get ready because she wanted to go out to dinner. Since I really didn't have much time, I got up, put my hair up, got dressed and put on my makeup. I decided to stick to a pretty neutral look (like always haha) since me and my mom weren't going anywhere fancy.

Here are the products I used:

Blush: MAC Smooth Merge MSF
Highlight: Fresh Twilight Glow
Primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin
Base: NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in French Fries
Eye Shadows: MAC Honey Lust, Mulch, and Shroom
Eye Liner: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Liner in Broubon
Mascara: L'Oreal Telescopic and Fresh Supernova
Lipstick: MAC Myth
Lipgloss: NARS Turkish Delight

How to: The Eyes
- First you want to prime your lid with Urban Decay Primer Potion in the color Sin.
- On the lid, apply NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in French Fries and smooth it out with your fingers on your lid.
- Apply MAC Honey Lust over French Fries and blend it into the crease.
- Take MAC Mulch and lightly add it to the outer corner, and blend it into your crease. You want this part to look very natural so make sure to blend out any harsh lines.
- For a highlight, take MAC Shroom and apply it right below your brow line.
- Next, apply your Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Liner in the color Bourbon to your lower lash line, your tight line, and LIGHTLY add it to your upper lash line.
- For mascara, take L'oreal Telescopic and apply it to your lashes and then apply a coat of Fresh Supernova. This will lengthen and volumize your eyes!

How to: Cheeks
- Take MAC Smooth Merge MSF and apply it lightly to the apples of your cheeks. You want to be careful with this because this is very shimmery and you don't want your face to look like a disco ball! Especially if you're planning on wearing this during the day.

- For a highlight, add a small amount of Fresh Twilight Glow to your cheek bones and bring it up to your temple. This stuff looks amazing in the sun and gives you that dewy look!


How to: Lips

- I just used a little bit of MAC Myth Lipstick with NARS Turkish Delight to give me a pink nude lip to finish off the look. This combination is amazing for a relaxed day or even a day at the beach! It gives you a great shine and the right amount of color for that nude look!

Please ignore how red I look in this picture. I promise I don't look like this everyday. I went camping this past weekend and got some sun! And as for my hair, I didn't feel like doing it, so it's just up in a ponytail.
