First, I started with my normal moisturizer (currently it's Murad's Anti Aging Moisturizer SPF 20 for blemish prone skin) then used a depuffing eye cream (I like Simple's Revitalizing Eye Roll On, the metal ball feels amazing on puffy tired eyes!). Next I started with my makeup, picking a hydrating primer (MUFE Step 1 Hydrating Primer) and I mixed it with my Cover FX Custom Coverage drops (I'm in the color N25) to give a nice flawless base. I didn't want to over use my concealer today so I picked a light weight but very pigmented concealer a few shades lighter than my skin tone to cover up the dark circles and brighten up my eye area (I used Maybelline Master Conceal Camouflaging Concealer in 10 fair). Then I set my whole face with a lightweight powder (I used Rimmel's Stay Matte Powder). Next up, highlight and blush. I also didn't want to go overboard with the highlight because sometimes what you think is helping, makes things worse...I took L'Oreal's True Match Lumi Rose Liquid Glow Illuminator just on the tops of my cheeks and followed with Mally's Liquid Face Defender Blush in Mimosa to give a healthy, wide awake glow to the apples of my cheeks. Next up, the eyes. I just put a tinted brow gel in to keep my unruly brows in place (I used my normal L'Oreal Paris Brow Stylist Plumper in Medium to Dark). Then I used an eye primer (Urban Decay Eye Primer Potion in Enigma) followed by ColourPop's Play super shock shadow in my crease and put their Mirage shadow on my lids. I chose these colors for the way they complement my skin tone and make my eyes look big and awake, you can use different colors that work well with your skin and eye color. I finished off my look with my normal cat eye liner (Kat Von D Tattoo liner in Trooper) and curled my lashes before applying mascara (Armani Eyes to Kill Classic Black). Put on some pink lip gloss and I'm all set!
After this, all I need to face the day is a good strong cup of coffee....
