My Everyday Makeup

This has been my go-to look for the past couple of weeks, so I thought I would share it with all of you. While this is my "Everday" makeup lately, it is on the more dramatic side so it might be a little much for those of you who like to keep it natural during the day. Myself, on the other hand, I'd rock glitter eyes at 6 a.m. so this is just right for my taste :) I incorporated neutral shades, like white, brown, and black.

On my eyes, I started off by priming my eyes with MAC Painterly Paint Pot. I applied MAC Wedge through the crease with a fluffy brush to act as a transition color, so that all the colors blend together well. Then I took the dark brown from the LORAC Haute Couture Palette (an exact dupe for this is MAC Espresso) and applied that through my crease as well, but not as close to my browbone as Wedge. Then I applied a matte white to my lid and inner corner. I used Inglot Matte 318 to do that. I took MAC Black Tied and applied that in the outer corner. I used the dark brown and black colors I used and applied them to my lower lashline. I used NYX Highlight as my highlight. Then I winged my upper eyeliner with my Physician's Formula Glam Eyes Gel Liner in Black (It's not my favorite gel liner by any means, but it has silver sparkles in it so I like that aspect of it). Lined my upper and lower waterline with an black eyeliner by Avon, and then used a combination of MAC Dazzlelash and Loreal Voluminous Mascaras. (Voluminous is one of my favorites, I combine it with Dazzlelash because it gives great separation).

To amp up this look even more, I sometimes add a little bit of glitter liner in the inner corner. My favorite to use is NYX Candy Glitter Liner in Crystal.

On my lips, I used NYX Lipliner in Nude Beige, MAC Honeylove over top of that and mixed it with MAC Hue to make it a more pinker nude.

Lastly, on my cheeks I used Bare Minerals Warmth to contour my cheeks and temples. I used NYX Pinky on my cheeks and MAC Soft and Gentle to highlight.

Hope you all enjoyed and are having a great weekend!

LORAC Haute Couture Palette in Sand Tropez

For those of you who have never heard of Hautelook, you're missing out on some great deals. Every week or so they sell new brands of clothing, furniture, vacations, etc. for a discounted price. They also have a beauty section, which is my favorite. They sell Urban Decay, Rock and Republic, Michael Todd, Fusion Beauty, and LORAC frequently. A couple weeks ago, they were selling two Hautelook exclusive LORAC palettes. This one caught my eye and I just had to have it.

It comes with four shadows: a matte ivory, gold shimmer, bronze shimmer, and matte espresso brown.

These shadows are extremely soft and blend-able. The two lighter shades aren't very pigmented but the ivory would be a perfect subtle highlight and the gold shimmer is more of a beautiful golden sheen.

The darker shades are pigmented. The matte brown is a dupe for MAC Espresso

All in all, this palette is perfect for an all-in-one everyday look for school or work. Which is mainly why I got it. It retails for around $15. I'm not sure if they will be selling these palettes again, but I'm sure they will sometime in the future. I will definitely let you guys know if it comes back up for sale, but in the meantime, definitely check out Hautelook if you haven't already. Right now they're having a sale on Jane Cosmetics.
