I've been getting a lot of comments/questions regarding what makeup products I use. I figured it was about time to let you all in on my secrets. I definitely enjoy MAC Makeup, as you'll see, but also have found really inexpensive products that work really well for me.
These are the products I use daily for a clean, classic look. I'll use other products for going out, or date nights, etc., but the following will always be my favorite!
All of this starts with a soft, dewy base.

1. Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Mineral Powder, in 001 Transparent: Great for setting foundation and concealer
2. MAC Studio Stick Concealer, in NC20: Perfect for the unexpected blemish.
3. Almay Clear Complexion Concealer, in Light 100: I use this for my under-eye dark circles.
4. MAC Studio Fix Foundation with SPF 15, in NW15: I apply this first, mixed in with moisturizer, it has a soft, dewy coverage that doesn't hide my freckles but evens out uneven skin-tones.
Most importantly; big, sexy eyes.

1. Bare Minerals Eyecolor 'Euphoria', a great highlight for cheekbones and under eyebrows.
2. MAC Eye Shadows in 'Naked Lunch,' 'Da Bling,' and 'Velvet Mulch.' These are perfect for a subtle, 1950's smokey eye!
3. Cover Girl Eyelash Curler. 3 Pumps for fabulous curled lashes!
4. Benefit 'High Beam', for the inner point of your eyelid. This gives the illusion of extra space between the eyes, and ads an exotic vibe.
5. MAC Warm & Cozy Shadestick. I use this as lower-lid eyeliner. The golden copper color picks up the copper in my eyes.
6. MAC Eye Kohl, only on the top lids, and the inside lower lid.
7. MAC Studio Fix Lash Mascara in Black. My favorite mascara ever! Never clumps, never flakes, always natural.
Pucker-up, princess! I love natural-lips, the more natural the better. I'm loving pinkish neutrals right now!

2. MAC Lipstick in 'Sophisto'
3. MAC Lipstick in 'Impassioned'
*Not pictured-my favorite lip gloss ever: 4. MAC Warm & Cozy Lipglass, in N2
I have a lot of allergies, and have found that these products are not only calm enough to not irritate my skin, they really work to enhance my features and not camouflage them. Rimmel London and Almay are two inexpensive brands that I have used for years, because I love the product, and the price tags! MAC has always had a good reputation for beautiful results. If you birds have questions on any of these products, let me know!
