Today I planned out a look I'll be wearing to VidCon (YouTube convention) and came up with this! I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've worn red lips since I did my purple hair! Constructive criticism always appreciated.

Face:
-Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
-Estée Lauder Double Wear Maximum Cover in 1N3 Creamy Vanilla
-NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Light
-Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder
-Kevyn Aucoin The Sculpting Powder in Medium
-Too Faced Love Flush Blush Palette (Baby Love)
-NYX Illuminator in Ritualistic

Brows:
-IT Cosmetics Brow Power
-Chella Defining Brow Gel

Eyes:
-Lorac Behind The Scenes Eye Primer
-Too Faced Peanut Butter & Jelly Palette (Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter Cup, Spread The Love)
-NYX Retractable Liner in Black
-Lorac Pro Plus Fiber Mascara

Lips:
-NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella
-MAC Viva Glam 1

I applied my primer to my face, focusing on my t-zone and cheeks, with my fingers. I dotted my foundation into my skin and blended with the Sigma F80. I applied my concealer under my eyes in a triangle, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow and blended with the Beauty Blender Micro Mini. I set under my eyes with the RT Setting Brush and the rest of my face with the Danielle Powder Brush. I contoured my cheekbones with the Morphe E8. I applied my blush to my cheeks with the Danielle Blush Brush. I applied my highlighter to the tops of my cheekbones, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow with the RT Fan Brush.

I lightly filled in my brows with the pencil and set them with the gel.

I applied my eye primer from lash line to brow with my finger. I applied Peanut Butter in and above the crease with the ELF Blending Eye Brush. I applied Peanut Butter Cup on the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush and on the lower lash line with the ELF Blending Eye Brush. I applied Spread The Love under the brow and the inner corner with the ELF Defining Eye Brush. I applied my liner to my tight line and waterline and applied one coat of mascara to my bottom lashes and two on the top.

I lined my lips with the NARS pencil and used the MAC lipstick to fill them in straight from the tube.

Loove your hair!! I've seen your pictures from a couple of years when I saw you here on beautylish and I must say you have improved a lot! Love your makeup.

The red looks really nice with the purple! How do you like the nars concealer? I can't decide if I want to try it or not lol.

Thank you, Dana! This is actually my first time using the NARS concealer so I don't have a full opinion on it yet but it has nice coverage and blended very easily (:

Is the brow gel clear?

May 25, 2016

Alexis C.

Thank you, Delara! Yes, the brow gel is clear (:

Oh good, so how do you like the brow gel?? Does it last long? I have thick brows and I used a drugstore brow gel but my brows were not in place after an hour lol

It's a really pretty look how do you like the foundation?

May 25, 2016

Alexis C.

I really like the gel but I don't know how well it actually lasts, my brows stay in place very well on their own. I had gotten it in a beauty box and liked it so I just continued to use it (:

Maria, I love this foundation! I've used it before and it's great for special occasions when you want really full coverage, it's also long wearing and doesn't break down from skin's oils (:

Ok thanks

That great I have normal to dry skin but I've recently started wearing my glasses again and my nose get oily and my makeup smears of in that area so I was thinking of using a different foundation on my nose but I don't know if that would work.

I would actually suggest instead applying only a little bit of foundation where your glasses sit on your nose and setting it with powder. If you do that then I don't think it matters what foundation you use. Plus this particular foundation isn't for everyday wear, in my opinion (:

I have a lot darkness on/around my nose, I wear studio sculpt by Mac I'll try setting it with powder on my nose only since I quite like the finish the foundation gives. Thanks :)
