MAC foundation (NC27), MAC concealer (NW25), and Elf blush (Flushed).
At first, I wasn't really comfortable with using foundation, but now I've learned how to put it on properly. I love my concealer because I can hide my tiny tiny pimples and downplay my eye bags. I always make the mistake of putting on way too much blush, and when I use this I end up looking flushed (haha, as the name implies). So, now I put just a tad when I use this or I use a lighter blush. :)
Products for my lips:
Clinique lip gloss (Juicy Apple), NYX lip gloss (Kiss), and my favorite lip balm.
I always put lip balm on, then my favorite lip gloss of the week. I have a couple of lip glosses, and at the time I took these pictures I liked using these two. But now, I use my other NYX lip gloss in Strawberry.
*I also made separate posts on my Clinique lip gloss and strawberry lip balm. For the lip gloss click here. For the lip balm click here. :D*
Products for my eyes:
Lash curler, Eyelid Primer, Liquid eyeliner, Lash & Brow Mascara, Eyeshadow quad (Luxe)... all from e.l.f.
I haven't yet mastered putting on eyeshadow, that's why when I'm in a hurry I don't put any on because I don't want it to look bad. But I do always put mascara on. However, I use this kind because my eyes tend to get all water-y. It works okay for me, but I want to get a waterproof one too. The liquid eyeliner is good too, I just have to practice more. :)
Most of my makeup are from e.l.f. because it's a really great line, especially for those just starting out with makeup (like me, haha). They are very affordable and the quality is really good. I love it. :)
My foundation and concealer are from MAC because as my sister always says, "MAC has the best stuff". :D
What makeup do you use on a daily basis?
*P.S. I started my cake decorating class today. It's a bit hard, but definitely interesting and enjoyable. Once I have a couple of pictures I will be making a post about it. :D*
*I also won a giveaway today! It's soo exciting. It made my day. Thanks to Kelly Lauren!*

I am the same way. I'm only starting to wear makeup on now. Mainly mascara, and eye liner. Other wise I'm makeup clueless. lol.
ReplyDeleteI wear less makeup the older I get, definitely! Today just Bare Minerals, I have major undereye circles and it's really annoying, and that helps a lot, plus blush, I fill in my brows and do lipliner and gloss. It's too hot here 8 months out of the year for eye makeup, it just melts off!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to read about your cake decorating classes! And I completely agree...2010 is going by at a scary rate :( x
ReplyDeleteHaha, Mimi, we are the same when it comes to our makeup "history"! :D
ReplyDeleteI cannot leave the house without my daily eyebrow basis. I'm using a lot of stuff by "Makeup-Factory".
Havn't checked out MAC or Elf in my short makeup career.
ive never heard of elf makeup before! from the looks of it though, it seems good! i think i mostly use covergirl, but i dont really wear that much makeup...mascara and cover-up most days!
