The Power Of Makeup!

Today I finally bit the bullet and did the power of makeup challenge! I've been wanting to do this for a long time but I kept talking myself out of it, lol.

I like to think that when I do my makeup I'm enhancing myself rather than completely changing myself and I think I've proven to myself that I'm doing just that!

Face:
-Smashbox Photo Finish Oil Free Foundation Primer Pore Minimizing
-Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer
-Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Foundation in Light Medium Neutral
-NYX HD Concealer in Light
-Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Powder
-Kevyn Aucoin The Sculpting Powder in Medium
-Too Faced Love Flush Blush Palette
-NYX Illuminator in Ritualistic

Brows:
-IT Cosmetics Brow Power
-NYX Control Freak Brow Gel

Eyes:
-Lorac Behind The Scenes Primer
-Lorac Unzipped Palette (Unconditional, Undiscovered, Undercover)
-NYX Retractable Liner in Black
-Too Faced Better Than Sex Waterproof Mascara

Lips:
-NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella

I applied the Smashbox primer to my cheek and nose and the Hourglass primer to the rest of my face. I dotted on my foundation and blended with the Sigma F80. I applied my concealer under my eye in a triangle, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow and blended with the Beauty Blender Micro Mini. I set under my eye with the RT Setting Brush and the rest of my face with the Danielle Powder Brush. I contoured my cheekbone with the Morphe E8, applied blush to my cheek with the Danielle Blush Brush, and highlighted the top of my cheekbone, down the nose, and the Cupid's bow with the RT Fan Brush.

I lightly filled in my brow with the pencil and set it with the gel.

I applied my eye primer from lash line to brow with my finger. I applied Unconditional in and above the crease and on the lower lash line with the ELF Blending Eye Brush. I applied Undiscovered to the lid with the RT Base Shadow Brush. I applied Undercover to the inner corner and brow bone with the ELF Defining Eye Brush. I applied my liner to my tight line and waterline and applied one coat of mascara to my bottom lashes and two on the top.

I applied my lip color directly from the tube.

Honestly not much of a difference lol which is good! I've seen some crazy ones on youtube! I like how natural your brows look!

Liz, that's why I was so hesitant to do it, I was afraid that I was making myself look like a different person without even knowing it! Thank you! (:

You look great. One tip though is to wear white eyeliner on your waterline and tightline to make your eyes look bigger. :)

Thank you, Sailor!

Brook, I actually like wearing black liner but thanks (:

Not much of a difference at all! I love how you do your makeup, It looks so natural! I definitely agree with Liz, I love how your brows look very natural. I've seen a lot of "the power of makeup" YouTube videos, and I find that one of the most dramatic differences is the brows. Beautiful with or without makeup :) Great job!

Thank you so much, Isabella! (:

I honestly don't think you need any makeup at all except for parties maybe. Your natural glow is getting hidden by the makeup. Also you look younger without it. Which is great 😁 you're beautiful!

Thanks, Rashi
