Pics of a makeup look on me...finally!!

B"H
Ok so i know its been like a century since i have posted...but i did warn ya'll that I am a very very very busy PA student. BH, TG. Anyhoo, so Thank G-d I got a really cool new phone that takes awesome pics and I was playing wiht it and well, i got you some pics of my most recent makeup look for this week's sabbath/shabbos. So I am going to tell you what products I used and try as best I can to describe what to do, which should not be that difficult, I really am no expert..maybe just a bit more informed that some..anyway enjoy yay!!.


Ok so here are the pics of my look. I have been really into neutrals lately, u know like beiges, brown, black ivory and all the colors in between. So those r the eye colors i used in this look. Ok so here is what I did:
1) EYES: Product used: Ulta Eyeshadows in SILK, SANDSTONE, MYSTICAL, & MOLTEN. I first primed my entire eyelid from lashline to brow bone with URBAN DECAY POTION PRIMER. Then I placed SANDSTONE on my lid from lashline up until and including my crease.Then i put SILK all over my  brow bone which is the area of ur eye lid right under your eye brow...if u touch and press it should fell hard...cuz there is a bone there..hense ur brow bone lol. Anyhoo Then i placed MYSTICAL in my crease and blended it out up a little bit out of my crease toward my brow bone. Finally to add some oomph and some extra drama i took a little of  MOLTEN (pics of the shadow will be below), and blended it just on the outer corners of my eyelids. Lastly, place black eyeliner on top and bottom and black mascara. I used MAYBELLINE'S STLLETO MASCARA & URBAN DECAY EYE LINER. Product notes: don't waste ur money on Urban Decay eyeliner, its good but its not the best and its alot of money so other brands r fine. I do really like maybelline stilleto right now though...really adds alot of length to my lashes. Also, i dunno if the deal is still on but I got a boat load of shadows from Ulta which i used for this look in a kit for only like &25 buck, i think it says it has like 61 products in the kit!!! a major deal. check and see if its still going on, if not u can totally achieve the look with diff products just similar shades. 
2) FACE: OK, so I used first under my eyes LAURA MERCIER CONCEALER, its like a combo with concealer for eyes, blemishes and setting powder all in one compact...pretty cool. so ya that under my eyes and on blemishes. Then I used CLINIQUE'S TINTED MOISTURIZER all over my face. Lastly I used LOREAL PARIS TRUE MATCH BLUSH IN W3-4 BARELY BLUSHING. K now when putting on blush this is really an art you need to develop and practice. I still am learning! This blush is really like a bronzer but anyway. I place it on my cheekbones, back toward my ears and hairline, and stop before my apples. You dont want the blush on ur cheeks on the area right next to ur nose, looks kinda funny. But anyhoo I apply the blush/bronzer with the brush in a circular motion (so its less streaky) directly onto the most prominent and round part of ur cheek. (the bone). I stopped the color about 2/3 along from my ear toward my nose leaving that last third closest to my nose without color. 
3) LIPS; I used MAYBELLINE'S SUPER STAY 24 HOUR COLOR LIP COLOR IN TIMELESS TOFFEE 150. Just follow the directions which this, its a long waering color (which is really all i wear beceaue nothing else stays on me and i hate having to reapply lipstick during the day...) Basically you put on the liquid color, let it dry for like 30 secs to a minute (depending on how patient u r lol) and then put on the lip balm part or clear lip gloss on top to add shine.
