I'm going to DC today for the first time, and since I woke up wayyy earlier than I was wanting to (nerves haha) I decided to do my makeup and post it here!

Face-
I put Benefit Prefessional in my t-zone and anywhere I had large pores

RCMA Cream Foundation Five pan palette in KA (not sure what it's called, it's just the mini five pan palette)- I applied the middle shade mixed with the second lightest in the center of the face and the middle shade mixed with the second darkest on the outer parts of my face.

I applied a dot of the Sephora Collection bright future medium corrector (I think it might be called melon) on the darkest part of my under eye and the bright future serum concealer in the lightest shade on my undereyes, on my forehead, down my nose, and on my chin and blended in with a damp sponge.

I set my undereyes and my face with the RCMA no colour powder

I applied the bronzer shade in the Elf Contour palette onto my cheekbones and for head, I contoured with the contour shade in that palette, and I used a blush from the Elf Light Blush palette and the pinky highlight from the Elf Illuminating palette (I just put all of those shades into one so I could travel with it) with the Wayne Goss Airbrush (this has become my favorite travel brush because it can set my undereyes and T-zone, put on blush, bronzer, highlight and contour and is great for precise touch ups throughout the day).

Eyes/ eyebrows-
I wanted the focus to be on the lips, so all I did on the eyes was put concealer on to cover up the veins, set that, put a white highlight shade (I can't remember which one I used off the top of my head) in my inner corner, and put a coat of Loreal Voluminous Carbon black mascara on both top and bottom lashes.

I just combed the Loreal brow plumper in light/medium through my brows

Lips-
I lined my lips with a Jordana lip liner in Sedona red and filled it in, and topped it off with Nars lip pencil in Cruella

Hope you guys like it! I have super short lashes so my mascara never looks that great, but I am practicing falsies, I just haven't gotten the hang of it haha. Constructive criticism is always welcome!

Thank you! I'm not really into the super sculpted, flawless look for myself so I like to go for more of a natural look day to day:)
