The One Where I Show You How I Put My Face On {and a WINNER}

How I Put My Face On:

Little Miss Momma's Make Up

{Some of you asked, so now I'm telling.}

Warning: I don't know what I'm doing. 

I am not an authority on the do's and don'ts of the "art of makeup". 

I do things like lick a q-tip and then wipe off smeared mascara. 

I can't live without lip gloss.

My eyebrows are two different shapes,

likely as a result of some plucking mishap in the past.

There is nothing I despise more

than putting on mascara--it feels like a chore,

but like many girlies, I feel naked without it.

So take whatever you read here with a grain of salt,

and then go find some other blog where the girl actually knows what she's doing.

Here is the makeup I use right now.

1. Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation. Shade: Light {Sephora}

2. Bare Escentuals Bronzer. Shade: Faux Tan {Spehora}

3.Sonia Kashuk Blush {Sephora}

4. Benefit cream to powder foundation stick Shade: Paper Dolls {Sephora}

5. Stila Eyeshadow Trio. Shade: Gold Glow {Sephora}

6. Stila Smudge Pot. I use this as eye liner. {Sephora}

7. Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara. Shade: Black {Sephora}

8. Eye lash curler. {anywhere}

9. Lorac Lip Stain. Shade: Sweet Emotion--see below. {Sephora}

First I take my Benefit concealer and I color over all my blemishes.  You'll notice there are A LOT of dots.

Then I take a sponge and blend in all the concealer.

Yes, it's time for me to get a new sponge--ick.

Then I apply the bronzer. This is my MUST have make-up. Without it, I look pale and sick.  I once read in a magazine that you should apply bronzer wherever you would get a sunburn.  It should not be applied ALL over your face--that's what I read anyway.

Now I apply my mineral foundation over the top of the bronzer. This will help blend the bronzer and hide the rest of my pesky zits.

Then I use my blush and apply just on top of my cheekbones.

Now the basics are done, but I still look bleh until I put on my eye makeup.

I LOVE this Gold Glow Eyeshadow Trio by Stila.

First I apply the lightest shade one to my entire eye lid, and just a little teeny bit underneath the bottom of my eye.

Next I use both of the darker colors and apply to the upper crease of my eye lids, like so:

I use an eyeliner brush to apply a quick line of the Stila Smudge Pot under my eyes. I don't use eyeliner on my upper eyelid, simply because I don't know how to put it on.

Then I curl my eyelashes and put on my waterproof, black mascara.

But I still have my secret little somethin somethin left to put on.

My all-powerful, and very sassy Lorac lip stain, followed by a layer of lip gloss.

And that's it.

Nothing special.
