Skyler - I absolutely love it. I've tried 4 different powders by MAC so far and this one is my favorite. It gives the perfect matte finish :)

I sometimes use BB cream if I have a breakout. Then I use some blush if I'm looking pale, and it depends on how lazy I'm feeling but I usually put on a thin coat of pencil eyeliner and do a light smokey eye with Sephora's moon baked glitter pallet. I then just use a lipbalm xx

-Wash face with clinique mild cleanser (I exfoliate at night), toner I use witch hazel mixed with rose water, pluck eyebrows if needed, put in contacts, moisturize I use cliniques dramatically different moisturizing gel on face and neck don't forget about your neck!, eye cream I use Chanel precision beaute initiale eye which I don't find does much for me, but it was a gift, an expensive one, and eye moisturizing is important.
-wait 10-15 mins for everything to soak in.
- fill in eyebrows. I love NYC's kit with the wax and powder. it comes with its own angled brush and mini tweezers, cute!
- concealer: I use a flat brush and start by defining around my brows with a covergirls invisible liquid concealer, then move onto under eyes which I use Revlon photo ready cream concealer for and pat on with my fingers (I skip this step if I plan on doing heavy eyeshadow. its best to.do under eye concealer after that), go back to the flat brush and covergirl liquid and do my nose, chin, and inner cheeks (my red zones)
- foundation (I only do this for night looks, special occasions, etc.) : I use and love cliniques stay matte and stipple it on.
- setting powder: I use covergirls translucent loose powder and buff it on with a big powder brush. This gives me such a flawless look and sets everything in place, it absorbs oil for the day and keeps my face makeup put. (avoid under eyes if eyeshadow is in the plan).
-eyeliner: I don't wear this for my everyday look, only for night looks. I use Sephoras waterproof gel (this stuff doesn't go.anywhere once its dried) and an angled brush. a little goes a long way and I use different techniques depending on the look I'm going for.
- eyeshadow: I don't wear eyeshadow everyday, just when I feel like it lol and if I wear it during the day it's without eyeliner. I use, LOVE and highly recommend UD's Naked Palette 1. Love the quality, the colors, the brush. I usually go for a light golden smokey eye or just a basic light lid, slightly darker crease, lighter brow bone.
mascara: I like maybelines lash stiletto in black for my night looks with black eyeliner, for my daily look I use a brown mascara and am currently using, but don't really love, bare minerals length and volume. The formula is good. the brush sucks. I.start by combing my lashes, curling them at the root and in the middle, pulsing for 20 seconds at each spot and then do two coats mascara. I wiggle the brush left to right while at the base and swoop up. This is where I do my funny/scary/ completely necessary mascara face lol I like to use mascara so it kinda looks like I lightly used a liner or tight lined. always do the second coat while the first is still wet or your going to get clumping. I do my bottom lashes, I've read it's not for everyone but I like the look on me. I do my mascara clean up with a dry qtip. (this is also where I would apply under eye concealer if I were doing eyeshadow for a night look)
-highlighting: I use this shimmery gel stuff that came in an NYC eyeshadow palette. I highlight the arch of my brows, my temples, the swoop on my top lip, the bridge of my nose and upwards in-between my brows kind of fountaining onto my t zone, my inner eye corner, the point of my chin, and the highest part of my cheekbones. This is all very lightly.
-clean up: fix any mistakes, press some powder under the eyes to really set and cover my dark circles and babylips to get rid of any powdery lookin lips :)
