In the past, I have thought discussing my particular routine could be intimidating for most people. And I definitely understand that not everyone has an hour or two to spend in the makeup studio every day (like I do). But I also think now, that sharing all I do can help other people polish certain aspects of their own routine. So here we go:
Face: Aveeno daily moisturizing lotion, All about Eyes from Clinique. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation.
Eyes: (I find it easier to talk just about colors). I personally prime with cream shadow from Maybelline. Primers are expensive and cream shadow lightly applied is basically the same. Anyway, I creased my eyes first with a mix of medium and light shimmer golds. Then on the lid, I applied a matte yellow. Next, I created the "V" shape with matte hot pink. I swept yellow under my inner corners and the hot pink under the outer two thirds. Inside the pink at the outer edge of my eye, I created another smaller "V" with a matte Navy color. I lined upper and lower, and water well with black pencil and smudged it all out. Finally I swept a little navy under the outer edges of the lower liner. I also topped it off with shimmer white under the brow bone and inner corners of the eye. I made sure to over draw my brows making them longer, blacker, and thicker on purpose to make the look more "rock n roll"
Cheeks: I contour and highlight my entire face and that includes my cheeks. For anyone who wants info on contour and highlight please contact me. My blush is Bobbi Brown in Pink Rose.
Lips: I went easy with a sheer color gloss in Black Cherry from Bath n Body Works.
