Face:
Primer: none
Foundation: Lancome minerals -- I'm getting more used to applying it. I preferred what I added today.
Powder: Lancome minerals, then Mary Kay mineral pressed powder
Radiance Highlighting: L'Oreal Bare Natural Pink Glow, then Mary Kay up the center
Over primer: Clarins Instant smooth -- love this product!
Concealer: Mary Kay
Eyes: Mary Kay minerals
Outer corner and crease: Lemongrass; this didn't show up well so...
Crease: added Denim frost
Inner corners: Amber blaze -- normally I wouldn't choose this for the inner corners, but in the 2009 summer colors, they showed the brown not in the crease, but in the inner corners and it looked great!
Under brow: lemongrass, lightly
Lined lower: Denim Frost
Tightlined top and lower + wet lined lower: Tidal Wave Gel liner -- this is such a pretty blue
Brows: Prescriptive pencil
Mascara top: EL Blue; lower: Tarte
What I think of Mary Kay pressed mineral eye shadows
I like Mary Kay shadows very much. They go on like silk. There is a wide array of beautiful colors, but they do not have the indie colors that Aromaleigh or Fyrinnae have.
I give them a 5.
What do you think?
I like the look of my face today.
Addendum: I'm obviously not an expert at applying mineral makeup. It looked great here and in the bathroom, but when I saw it in sunlight I had to wipe it down on one side of my face as it was very weird looking. I would say it looked as if it had settled in my pores, but I don't have any for it to settle into in that area of my face. Once I wiped it twice (in the same area) it was fine. I'll definitely have to check this when I use minerals. Do you ever have this issue?
