All Dolled Up

Hey y'all! 

    So, today I am going to talk about what I have in my makeup bag. I will post the photos of the makeup that I use, and will mention some of the tools I use (Like, beauty blender, eyelash curler, and eye shadow brush.) So here we go!

    So, I start out by putting on this fantastic moisturizer made by Lush. It gives my face a matte feel and helps my makeup to stick to my face. I love it because it doesn't have that oily feel nor does it feel heavy.

    Then, I take this e.l.f. flawless finish foundation and a beauty blender and blot onto the face, it hides my pores, redness, and any acne bumps that have made it to my face.

    Next, I use this cheap concealer. I am not a fan of it, but bought it so I need to use it up. You definitely have to layer it so that it covers anything. 

After I am happy with the concealer, I set my makeup with e.l.f. High Definition Powder. This powder is very fine, and gets everywhere if you aren't careful... But it does a wonderful job setting my foundation and concealer, and I don't have any wrinkles or creases in my foundation by the end of the day.

    After I have set it, I contour my face. I have a rectangular-oval shaped face, and when I contour, it takes some of that roundness away. This stuff is wonderful. It doesn't go on super dark, so you can tweak the area you are contouring till you are happy with it.

    I use the highlighter in the Smashbox contour kit because it really brightens my under eye area. I love highlighting that area. It's my calling in life.

    Then, I begin working on my eyes. Depending on my outfit for the day, I use my BH Cosmetics 88 color matte palette. The colors are wonderful and last all day.

    Once I have my eyes perfectly shadowed, I use my Benefit Push Up Eyeliner. It's a gel eyeliner and kind of tricky to put on at first, but once you get the hang of it, you can do pretty much anything with it.

    Then comes the best mascara I have ever come across. The Better Than Sex mascara by Too Faced. I love this stuff. It volumizes with clumping, curls, and lengthens my eyelashes. No need for false eyelashes at all!

    After my eyes are finished, I put on some of my blush with a super soft blush brush. Coralista doesn't add a whole lot of color, but does add a bit of shimmer to the cheeks. Whatever is left on the brush I fluff all over my face... It does have a pretty floral smell to it, but I don't mind it.

    This is my go to lip color. I love it. It's not crazy dark, nor is it crazy bright. It's Nyx Matte Lipstick in the color Merlot.

    What kind of makeup do you use? I want a concealer that can hide my under eye circles.... any tips?
