Quick easy sunday lunch makeup

Today I juat wanted a quick easy and put together face. Light but enough to make me feel good enough to go out in. My skin has been super sensitive lately and my acne breakouts have been awful.
For my face i used Garnier bb cream the original one they came out with in light/medium. I like this bb cream because its just enough tint to even me out and also  sunscreen. Which is needed in this hot Oklahoma summer. One thing i dont care for in this bb cream is the dewiness. I am slightly oily in the t zone area and dewy is not my friend. So after my corrector by covergirl and olay under my eyes and concealer the instant age rewind by maybelline.  I apply a mattifying powder, i love the rimmel stay matte. Then i contour, blush and highlight. Using nyc sunny bronzer, elf blush in candid coral, and wet n wild reserve your cabana just on the top of my cheekbones.

Now on to eyes. I recently fell in love with makeup geek eyeshadows. For this look i used creme brulee as my transition color, and beaches and cream for my highlight. To deepen the crease i used matt batali by the balm. I also applied the balm shadow and creme brulee under my lower lash line. I applied covergirl lash blast to the lashes. I dont care for this mascara i dont feel like it does much for me.

My lips are my go to rimmel airy fairy.

Classic Pin-Up style

 Its been a long time since I have done a post and that is because I became quite busy in life a promotion at my job and a very active two year old to keep me on my toes. I decided though I should try again at this because it makes me happy and relieves stress. So here it goes hope you like it and if you do comment and let me know. Always helps to know you have someone cheering you on.
 I did this makeup quite a while ago. I went for the basic soft brown eyes, big lashes, winged liner, and red lip.
Although I don't remember all the products I used I can tell you what I would do to recreate this now.
For a flawless foundation I would use Revlon ColorStay Whipped (150 Buff) this foundation creates a beautiful matte finish to my skin and wears forever and is almost full coverage for me. I do need concealer under the eyes still so I would use my Covergirl and Olay Corrector then go over the top with Maybelline Dark Circle Eraser in Light. I would then use Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent  to set the under eyes and in my t-zone. My favorites for checks are NYC Sunny Bronzer for contouring and Elf Candid Coral Blush. For highlighted glowy skin I use Wet N Wild Reserve Your Cabana on the tops of the cheekbones and down the nose.
 For my eyes I do this look a lot minus liner and lashes. The Naked Palette by Urban Decay is perfect for this look. Prime your eyes with Milani shadow eyes in almond cream. Then apply sin all over the lid and on the brow bone. Define your crease with buck then blend out with naked. On lower lash line take buck and naked again and blend together. Use a jet black eye liner pen like Jordana Fabu Pen to create the perfect wing. Then apply your favorite lashes, I'm pretty sure these are Demi Wispies for Walmart.Then add Jordana Best Lash Extreme in black to bond lashes together and also add to bottom lashes
For lip any blue based red will work but I used Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella. Which is my favorite at the moment.
