Concealers -MAC - Pro Longwear concealer
melimouse 4/9/2013 7:37:00 PM
I originally bought this concealer for my hereditary dark circles. I hated how it applied, looked, and it didn't cover too well. I don't have super dark circles but they're pretty dark for my fair skin(it looks like i cried and not slept for a week). I bought it with many other concealers trying to look for my HG under eye concealer. I don't like how it feels sticky. It being a little sticky makes it hard for me to accomplish the "I had 8 hours of sleep" look. I'm 22 and i don't have wrinkles, but it settled into my tiny fine lines under my eyes. Therefore, I stopped using it and it was just sitting on my makeup table. I then rediscovered it for covering acne, scars, uneven skin tone. i work 12 hour shifts and i don't want to wear a foundation b/c i want my skin to be able to breath more.To better explain how i use the concealer, ill just write a step to step process and hopefully it'll help somebody out there who's wanting slight coverage on their face without putting too much products. Must be careful with pump b/c it will pump out a whole lot of product. I literally concentrate so i don't pump out to much lol 1. I always use a primer, but not to much(hourglass is my HG) 2. I then CAREFULLY pump about a quarter of the pump(its very hard with this pump) 3. lightly dab onto problem areas on face: acne, scars, redness, broken capillaries, etc. 4. Using a sigma F80, F82, or F84 brush(they all work perfect) i blend it out from inner of face to outer NOTES: - this does not give a full coverage effect. It's almost a tinted moisturizer effect. sheer coverage - must work section by section since it dries fast - for reference i wear the shade NC20. I'm NC25 on the mac prolong wear foundation and mac doesn't have the concealer in a nc25

Liquid -Estee Lauder - Double Wear (old formula)

At first I wasn't sure if I liked double wear because I was having such a hard time looking for the right color and not having my face look cakey. After numerous of samples, I finally found the right color which is Sand. For reference I wear mac pro longwear foundation in nc25. Now, it was the applying it I had to deal with. After a few tries, I finally found the way that woudn't make it look cakey. I use sigma f82 brush and mac fix + spray. I spray the brush, dab off excess liquid and apply section by section. I spray my brush each section I do or if the brush is getting a little dry. This works perfect for me! This way you can add coverage if you need it but I don't recommend applying to much, apply concealer on any spots you want more coverage. Definitely will buy again

Eye Shadow -MAC - Eyeshadow in Mystery

I love using mystery for my eyebrows. It's the perfect shade. I have dark brown hair, nc25 skin. It goes well with mac spike eye brow pencil. I use to wear brun eyeshadow for my brows but mystery is lighter making it look more on the natural side compared to brun. It will last me a very long time since I only use it for my brows
