Happy Fourth of July everyone! It's my second time celebrating it in America ✌🏻

Face:
Benefit Porefessional primer (Applied on T-Zone)
Hourglass mineral veil primer (Applied all over)
Makeup Forever HD Foundation (#123, applied with a beauty blender. Do you think it would apply better with a brush?)
Chanel Translucent Powder
Milani Luminoso Blush
Benefit Hoola bronzer (it never really shows up on my skin...is there a better one I should try?)

Eyebrows:
ABH Brow wiz in Dark Brown (outline the bottom and top of eyebrows)
ABH Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown (Fill in the tail and small strokes near the front)
ABH Clear Brow Gel
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer (clean up brows - recently started doing this and it's great!)

Eyes:
Urban decay primer potion
Loran Pro Palette
- Taupe
- Sable
- Espresso
- Nude
- White
Stila Stay All Day Eyeliner

Lips:
Loreal Lipliner
Limecrime velveteen.

That's actually the only lime crime thing I have bought and my credit card was one of those that were stolen during the security breach!

Any feedback would be great and two questions: do you prefer Stila Stay All Day eyeliner or Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner? Also, I tend to go without mascara when I do my makeup. Is there anything you tend to skip that other people wouldn't?

Happy 4th!

Love the red lips on you :)
As for your questions, I prefer kvd! The stilla on always flaked off on me without me touching it and by 3 hours later, it'd be pretty much all gone. The kvd one I have worn for over 20 hours and not had problems like with the stilla one. I also like the tip better on kvds and the liner is matter.

I always skip blush. I have a couple blushes, but I always skip them. I have super red skin naturally and even with foundation on you can still see it, so I don't want to add to it

Wow you look stunning

You look beautiful! Whereabouts are you? I'm visiting the US at the moment too!!

I haven't tried either of the two liners, but now that I can buy them here I'll try them out :)

I usually skip foundation unless my skin is in need of it, which doesn't happen a lot :)

As for the MUFE HD, I've tried it (I still have the mini pump-bottle sample of it since March, that's how little I use!) and I applied it with a flat paddle brush and it looked great! But if you liked it with the beauty blender, then that's right for you!

@alyx thanks! Ever since I dyed my hair black I always wonder if the red lip still works for me. And ah maybe I should try the Kat Von D one! Are there any other liners that last even longer?

@Bre thank you!! 😅😘

@Breeze I'm from Indonesia but I'm the states for college now!!

Red lips always suit well with black hair! :)
As for the kvd liner, it's honestly all I use. If I try anything else I always go back to the kvd one as soon as it runs out or I return it or throw it away lol.

Happy July 4th Kim, so glad you're spending it here with us in America! You look lovely! As for the question of Stila or KVD, I adore the Stila stay all day. It literally DOES NOT BUDGE!

And the KVD one is great as well. I prefer the Stila, but you can't go wrong with either.

You look beautiful! The red is stunning, as the other ladies mentioned :) and I definitely prefer KVD Tattoo liner. It stays just as long as the Stila (in my experience) and the KVD is just so much easier to apply smoothly and crisply and get that perfect wing with. Lots of people love the Stila, but I have 2 of the Stay All Day liners and the tips have started to fray on both of them. It makes it really hard to precisely apply liner. So yeah, because of that I would go with the KVD.

I know this is late but love the red lips! As for the eyeliner I prefer KVD! I think its felt tip is easier to apply and I think Stila's is more of a shiny finish that doesn't always go with every makeup look. Both are great but I like the matte black finish of KVD's.
