Here's a before & after MOTD for my family reunion! Constructive criticism is always appreciated!

Products Used:

Face:

-NYX HD Concealer in Light
-MAC Blot Powder in Light
-Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Matte Bronzer
-MAC Mineralized Blush in Warm Soul

Brows:
-IT Cosmetics Brow Power

Eyes:

I applied and blended my foundation into my skin with the RT Expert Face Brush. I applied my concealer under my eyes and blended with the RT Miracle Complexion Sponge. I set the concealer and through the t-zone with the blot powder on the RT Setting Brush. I applied my bronzer on the forehead, cheeks, jaw, and a little on the nose with the ELF Total Face Brush and applied my blush to my cheeks with the ELF Bronzing Brush.

I filled in my brows lightly with the brow pencil.

I applied the blot powder over my eyes from lash line to brow with the RT Setting Brush. I filled in my tight line and waterline with the liner and applied one coat of mascara on the bottom lashes and two coats on the top.

I lined my lips with the NARS pencil and filled them in with the MAC lipstick straight from the tube.

Have you ever tried nude eyeliner on your waterline! I think that would look nice on you
! Good job

If you're looking for some improvements, I would work more on the eyes. Personally I'm not a fan of lining the waterline because it closes the eye off so much and it isn't really on trend. And since you have smaller narrow eyes, I would maybe do a bit of contouring to make them pop. Also, maybe a winged eyeliner would help bring more focus. And I'm a big fan of lashes, but yours don't really seem noticeable here. Maybe try an eyelash primer before your mascara and this will help them look fuller. I like lacombe.

Thank you, everyone!

Julie, I do a white liner once in a blue moon but I like how the black looks (:

Jenna, I don't care what's "on trend" and what's not. I like doing the like black so I'm going to continue to do it. I don't wear winged liner because my eyes are hooded and it doesn't suit my eye shape.

Lol way to be offensive. And obviously you care to some degree since you posted a selfie on here and if you can't take constructive criticism then maybe don't?

Aug 30, 2015

Alexis C.

I don't see how I was offensive? I just explained why I wear my makeup the way I wear it.

May I ask how you apply your Kat von d foundation? fingers or brush or sponge?

Aug 30, 2015

Alexis C.

Kimberly, I use the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush to apply and blend the KVD foundation (:

Kimberly A.

I love the foundation but haven't found a good way to apply it just yet, going to have to pick up that brush :) your skin looks flawless.

Aug 30, 2015

Alexis C.

Thank you! (: Definitely get the brush, I got mine at Ulta!

Very nice Alexis, I'm a waterline girl myself and to me it's a sultry look. I have to ask are you applying the bronzer to the side's of your nose?

Aug 30, 2015

Alexis C.

Thank you, Alma! I didn't apply bronzer to the sides of my nose, only a bit over the bridge (:

Aug 30, 2015

Alma M.

Your welcome, thank you for responding I just thought you had on the sides of your nose but it could be the lighting, it just seems different from the other pic. Other then that looks great :)

No problem, Alma! I was looking between the pictures after you commented and I agree, it does look different lol.
