Memoirs of My Journey to Make-Up Perfection

Man, I cant tell you how much I have been counting down the days till I get paid so I can hop on sigma cosmetics, coastal scents and ACW to make a purchase!

I have been seriously eyeing some goodies on these sites and I honestly cant wait till they are on their way to my hot little hands!! I also want to go to blended beauty and pic up a few mositurizers.

*sigh*

So many purchases and so little, little money to do them with LOL

Ciao bellas!

Sorry for no pics at the moment as I am still sick and just dont have the strength to do my make up or comb my hair as can be seen if one was looking at me right now LOL. But I want to share some tips I have come across when doing my make up.

I was using studio sculpt NC50 which was way too dark for me. I took pics at a friends house and realized how dark it made me look and decided to go to MAC and change it once and for all.
SO I bought 3 items

Studio Sculpt NC55 which is lighter
Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder
187 Brush

Reviews:

Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder

Ladies and gentleman can I tell you how much I LOVE my finishing powder??

There is no colour to it but it immediatly mattifies my studio sculpt and makes it stay longer in place. I dont touch up my make up anymore. Instead I come home for lunch and use the same powder brush and dott it all over my face to get rid of any shine then I am on my way!


187 Brush

Now that I know how to use it I love it. I squirt a bit of the SS55 on the back of my hand then use thebrush to pick up a bit then dott/pat it all over my face. It works best this way and does create a nice airbrushed look. To help that effor I use a kabuki brush to further blend or beat it on my face. After I follow it up with the finishing powder. LOVE!!!!!

Studio Sculpt Nc55

Its defineitly lighter but a bit too light. The finishing powder helps set it and when the oils on my face kick in it brings the colour down a bit darker which I think was what was happening with the SS50. All in all I like it alot and I will be using it more from now on!

TRICK and TIPS #1

Miz your Studio Fix foundation with your studio sculpt to get even more wearability and staying power! I got this tip from a MAC artist and off youtube and it works. Whenever I want to get the foundation colour closer to my skintone I mix my NC50 studio fix with my NC55 Studio Sculpt and apply with my foundation brush from Sephora or my MAC187 brush. Both works well though when I do this trick I prefer my sephora brush to the 187.

Hope this helps!

Love you all!!

Kisses ;)

Hi everyone, I am so sorry for being away.

The new job I started has a different take on make up lol. So I had to tone it down a bit but now I am at a new location where my manager doesnt care at all so its ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

I did a subtle brown eye today with turqoise green under my bottom lash line :)

I should have taken a pic but I was rushing out the door to work.

But I PROMISE to post my make up progress. Right now I am feeling quite sick....:( SO I will be back

Love you all!!

Kisses ;)
