So for today's makeup, I decided to dive into the back of my makeup drawers to use the products I never reach for. I'll try to explain why I don't reach for each product

Products used:
•Too Faced Born this way foundation
•So Susan statement skin highlighting crayon in candlelight
•Beauty for real blush + glo stick
•Girlactik eyeliner marker in black noir
•Too Faced Candlelight Glow
•Coty Airspun translucent powder
•L'oreal colour riche lipstick in 140 Mauved
• Mac single shadow Soba
•Ofra single shadows Millennium Gold, Smoke, Bohemian, and Truffle
•beauty for real shadow stick in midnight marathon

I don't use the BTW foundation because it is very iffy on my skin, sometimes flakey and sometimes okay. I never use the highlight sticks because I just don't like cream products very much and the blush on the blush + glo can be too dark and sometimes blends out badly.
I tend to use pressed powders rather than loose powders because it can add extra coverage. Also, my pressed powder is older and I'm trying to use it up lol. For the too faced highlight, I just have highlights I prefer more. It's not subtle but it's not bright either - and I have one for both of those when I want it. I just don't usually want the "in between". For the Girlactik liner, I really don't like liquid eyeliner because I'm not very good at it, or I just don't use eyeliner at all. I also never use single eyeshadows because I have so many eyeshadow palettes that I find easier to use due to the fact that they're usually all in the same range. The shadow stick is brand new and I really didn't like it that much. Too shimmery for a crease or for a depth color but too dark for a lid color that I would like. For the lipstick, I just don't like the color or the formula as much as my other lipsticks.

Other products (ones I use regularly)
•Maybelline age rewind
•cover fx illuminating primer
•cover fx anti age smoothing eye primer
•physicians formula butter bronzer
•Laura geller blush and brighten in pink buttercream
•Maybelline mega plush volum express mascara
•eylure brow pencil
•the browgal clear eyebrow gel

That's a beautiful look! I sometimes do that too and I find it creates the most interesting of looks

Thank you. I find it so easy to fall into the routine of things and this really made me think a lot more about everything.

I think it looks great! It's always worth while to try and use up some products that don't get as much love.

I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out... With it being makeup I hardly or never use I expected it to look much worse lol. Makeup can be unpredictable
