Makeup Update

The above photo is one that I posted to Instagram last week. After posting, I got some makeup questions. I am wearing three different products than my usual makeup and I think they are all worth posting about. 

Just so we are on the same page, above is the photo before I color corrected it with the VSCO cam app. Just keeping it real ;). 

This 'crayon' is pure magic. I have recently been out in the sun a lot and have quite the tan, now. I needed new makeup to match my tan and so I bought this on a whim while grocery shopping. I had no expectations but just grabbed it to hold me over until I could get my favorite Tarte concealer. Oh my gosh, I will never use another concealer ever again! This stuff is $8 and amazing. It truly matches my skin perfectly and covers any imperfections, plus it is so easy to apply and blend. I use it under my eyes as well as on blemishes. It's a miracle. I try to limit my makeup in the summer so I've been relying on this, blush and mascara as my daily makeup products. 

I have a love/hate relationship with this product. I don't like wearing a lot of makeup and I consider foundation to be 'a lot of makeup'. I only wear this on special occasions but was going to happy hour after work that night and wanted my makeup to stay in place all day, so I put it on. I love it because I kid you not, it makes my face look flawless. I went through a period of skin issues earlier this year and this was a lifesaver. Now that my skin is back to normal, I rarely use it. But let me tell you, it's pricey but for a reason and it's worth every penny. I also don't like using it because I feel like it's one of those situations when you wipe it off you look like a different person... like this...scary! 

I usually wear Loreal's False Fiber Lash mascara but Estee Lauder sent me this mascara and this is hands down my new favorite. It is truly the best mascara I have ever used... it really defines my lashes and the applicator makes it really easy to apply-- no clumps!

Also, for those inquiring, the dress is Gap! It doesn't seem to be available on their website any longer but it was on sale in store! Have a fabulous day!
