Another 5 mins makeup, done quickly. It's kind of fun to limit myself to one shadow color -- and it's easy to do with this new shape. When the MUA did it for me, she basically mixed colors together to get the depth of shade she wanted. I figure I can do that too if a single shade isn't sufficient.
Eyes:
Base: Mary Kay shadow
Lids in new shape: Lancome Bluebirds Fly
Inner lids: Chanel off-white
Concealer: MK
Lined: Chanel Mercury/Sapphire pencil, sadly discontinued, love this darker blue
Lined lower waterline: MAC white pencil -- I like this look sometimes -- and I've also tightlined the top with white, which is interesting -- to do it right on the top, I should use white on the inner and outer edges and dark in the middle, maybe I'll try that tomorrow, because using white on the entire top shows the white starkly against the color of my eye, but it's really cool against the white part of my eye
Mascara: Stiletto
Brows: Anastasia pen
Primer: Sheer Cover
Foundation: Lancome minerals followed by Lancome mineral powder
Technique: use small amount of minerals on brush, spritz brush with Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray -- apply. I saw this done by someone else, but never tried it myself before today. I didn't realize how easy it would be to do or how well it would work.
This gives me more of the finish that I like, and in a sense, it is almost like making a liquid mineral foundation on your brush, only it is (maybe) faster than applying in separate steps (liquid, then powder.) Anyway, this is probably the first time I've felt that a mineral foundation worked for my skin type.
Nose: MAC concealer on my nose, buffed in/on and using a triangle sponge
Lips:
Guerlain coffret, the deepest crayon color + Gloss top coat, rimmed with Beaute Paramour
Pretty color! The crayon has a sort of copper look to it, not really red or pink as it looked.
I don't know why my face is in the shadows in the picture. I must have turned away from the light source.
What do you think?
Have you used this technique to apply mineral foundation?
I'm going to try this technique again this week and try using mineral foundation more often. It's nice to have another method that works.
