In this post I'll share my views on make up, skin care and what I use personally. I enjoy applying make up when I have the time but when you have a little one it is very challenging to do so. I will also admit that I am not good at applying make up. And from what people tell me and what I notice in my pictures, I look better with light make up. On the good side, I have round/doe shaped eyes and they are I'd say a decent size :) so whenever I apply too much of stuff (especially eye shadow) it takes away from my eyes. My lips are very full so for the longest time I use to avoid loud colors but I'm over that now. I am comfortable wearing loud colors now, but I keep my eye make up light (most of the times). I have bad eye sight and have been wearing contact lenses since I was in 8th grade. My contact lenses are by Color blend and I wear their gray color. That is another reason I need to keep my eye make up light because with colored contacts, your eyes tend to pop out even more and any little eye make up that you apply can look too much. So be cautious :) On the not so good side, I have a round face and fat cheeks so I love to contour my face whenever time allows : =)
My daily routine includes taking my daughter to Gymboree classes, children's museum, children's gym and lots of walking. For such routine days I simply wash my face, apply a moisturizer, a lip gloss and powder by make up forever pro-finish for some coverage.
We have a big circle of family and friends and we have a lot of family gatherings and parties to attend. For such occasions the make up products I love to use are as follows: I would like to also add that I didn't know about most of these products until about a year ago, thanks to all the social media and youtube tutorials that we have today..
Chanel foundation
Motives Contour Kit
UrbanDecay2 Eye Shadow Palette
ProFinish Foundation Powder
Eye Shadow Primer
Anastasia Beverly hills Brow
Chanel Mascara
Highlighter
Face Contour
As for my lips, I only own a hand full of MAC lipsticks. I don't spend a fortune on lipsticks, lipliners and other lip products. We don't tend to wear the same color all the time so I think it's a waste of money. I'd also like to mention my make up bag, (<= link) this specific one is from ULTA and is the best one I've come across. It fits all my make up and is very easy to travel with, especially for me because I travel 2 hrs away with all my stuff for our family gatherings.
I'm attaching a picture of my make up tote and some lipsticks..
My make up peeves: Today, if you look at any girl's picture on social media and especially on IG you'd think that God has created everyone with perfect features, thanks to all the make up products and make up tutorials and tips lol. And I said IG in specific because one cannot zoom in the pictures and also by the mercy of all the wonderful apps and filters that can be used there. That is my pet peeve because when you look at someone in person their features are not what you see in their pictures. And I don't think it is fair for those who actually do have prominent features or those who don't apply a lot of make up and to those who don't know how to apply make up. Anyways, so that's my take on the issue, what's yours?
Peace <3
