What's On My Face.

Good morning, loves, and happy Tuesday. I have the day off today so I'm spending a little extra time on today's post and I'm sharing a little secret with you all...

So, guess what?

I don't actually wake up looking like this. Shocking, I know. Of course my boo wakes up looking sexy... damn you, men.

I can't believe I'm actually posting this, but this is actually what I do look like when I wake up...

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for nightmares this photo may cause.

Yeah, that's some scary shiz. I know. Those aren't even Louis Vuitton bags under my eyes, guys. Uneven skin, red nose... Surely I'm the cause of any and all nightmares C has. 

So, how do I get from Scary Spice to Baby Spice (yes, dammit, I'm still living that performance)... today I will show you!

First, here is a look at the products I use on the regular, in order from start to finish. 

As far as primers go I'm not too picky, though I am a big fan of the pore minimizers. I got Benefit's Porefessional in a Birchbox so I've been using that sample up lately, but my original choice has always been Too Faced Primed and Poreless.

Once I'm primed I cover my face, blending at my neck, with Revlon's PhotoReady foundation. I really love this stuff which is shocking because I am, sort of, a makeup snob. I apply this foundation with my hands.

Next I take a makeup sponge and apply by dabbing MAC's Pro Longwear Concealer under my eyes and on my nose. 

Before I started realizing my skin was aging I never, ever wore foundation. Only MAC StudioFix. Ha, if only we could all be so lucky now, huh? Nowadays I dust StudioFix over my forehead, nose, and chin (T-zone) just to eliminate shine throughout the day.

I learned of Benefit's highlighter, High Beam, from PinkLouLou a little over a year ago and it pretty much changed my entire makeup regiment. This stuff is face glow in a bottle! I apply it to my cheek bones and right under my eyebrows.

I'm a huge fan of MAC's Mineralize bronzers and blushes. My cheek bones get brushed with pink or very light bronze and I accent them with a darker bronze.

I start with MAC's Nylon eyeshadow every single time I do my eye makeup. I've loved this color for as long as I can remember and it is the perfect shadow to highlight the inside corners of the eye. Also great for the brow bone, under your eyebrows.

For everyday shadow, I use half baked and snake bite from Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette. I plan to make another post, one of these days, on my eyeshadow application, stay tuned!

This is liquid eyeliner by L'Oreal and another drugstore product I swear by. I've been using this eyeliner since I was a competitive dancer. It makes perfect lines without bumps or flaws!

 And lastly, as I posted a little while ago... MAC's False Lash is the only mascara for me!
