I wanted to do a grunge look. I'm not a huge fan of rhe grunge look on my self but wanted to give it a go. Any suggestions or critiques? I created this look using all drugstore and Ulta products.

EYES -.Ruby Kisses 24 hr magic eye primer. Blended with fingers. A thin flesh colored eye primer. Works amazing. It's my go to eyeshadow primer.
.NYX Wiked Dreams Palette. Shimmer Rust above crease blended with Wet n Wild Crease brush. Matte Taupe on lid, applied with a sponge tip applicator. Blended with the same crease brush. It's an ok palette. If not applied in thin layers and blended well, all the shadows can be a little patchy.
.Beautique Defining Eyeliner in Deep Bronze applied to lashline and blended with the Wet n Wild Smudge brush. A beautiful deep bronze, a little shimmer. Blends beautifully and stays all day
.Physicians Formula Brow n Tweeze Eyebrow pencil in Dark Brown, light feathery strokes to fill in brows. It's a waxy pigmented brow pencil. It stays all day and Is pretty cheap. My go to brow pencil.
.L'Or?al Telescopic Shocking Extensions mascara, 2 coats on top & bottom lashes. It gives lashes incredible length

FACE -
. Covergirl Outlast Stay Luminous foundation applied with a flat top kabuki brush. It's a gorgeous medium coverage foundation. Doesn't make me look/feel greasy
.Hardcandy Glamoflauge Heavy Duty Concealer applied with the same kabuki brush. My favorite concealer. Covers everything, not cakey and very cheap
.Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent. Applied to face using a large fluffy powder brush. It's a cult fav for a reason. Beautifully matte, but not overly powdery.
.L'Or?al Wear Infinite eyeshadow single in Sable for contour, applied to cheekbones and blended with Wet n Wild Contour brush. It's the perfect cool toned matte shade for fair skinned girls.
.Giovi Magic Finish Cooked powder No 4 for highlight, applied with a small blush brush to tops of cheekbones, nose, & cupids bow. This highlighter is amazing! Can be used dry/wet. It gives the perfect glow. and it's only a dollar.
.Santee Mineral Blush Palette No 4, shimmery bronzer applied to apples of cheeks with a fluffy blush brush. It's amazingly pigmented and blends well to look natural.
LIPS -
.Milani Lipstick in Gourmet Coffee applied straight to lips from the tube. It's a great creamy matte formula that stays put.

Wow, this is a really great look for you! I like that it's not a strict interpretation of grunge, it's more suited to you and what you like.

One little thing, maybe it's just the angle of the pictures, but I think the lipstick application could be a little more neat =) But that's no big deal, I think this is very well executed otherwise! Also, I adore the way your lips turn up at the corners!

Oh, I also have my lip ring out. that creates a dent in my lip, but ya, should if used a lip brush.

Nah, I'm with you I don't think I even own a lip brush. I do any necessary clean up with q tips dipped in makeup remover haha but mostly I'm just super careful when I apply my lipsticks. It's no big deal =) honestly, I think your lip ring would look BOMB with this look! do you have a picture with it in??

I like this look... :) You have lovely skin. I've never heard of Ruby Kisses eye primer. Where do you get it? I'm always looking for a good shadow primer. :)

@Jacqueline H. I bought it online. it was 5 bucks. you can get it at samsbeauty.com. it's pretty amazing. makes shadows stay on a long time and makes even cheap shadows loom good.

@SailorMoon S. I haven't tried the Santee face powders, but I would. the quality of the blush palette and I also own some santee Long Lasting liquid lipsticks. Santee quality is really good. I'd take the plunge and try em out.
