I haven't done an motd in a while and thought I would because I'd like criticism mainly on my brows. Lol... I brush them straight now instead of arching them, how does that look? I feel it give my face a "softer" look. Don't mind my hair also, I hate having it back lol...that line up amirite?

This is the makeup I wear pretty much everyday for work. We're told to keep it to a minimum as I work in a very high end place, I will switch up my lip color on occasion and do winged liner, but hardly ever. Lol... Anywho, here we go ( I have some reviews also on some products I've been using )

P R O D You C T S
face (in order):
• Estée Lauder double wear in "bone" : I recently got a sample of this foundation, I believe bone is the second or third lightest shade but it has a strong yellow undertone which is perfect for me as I am light but very yellow lol. The shade is a pretty great match, I really like it. I've even used it on days I don't feel like putting foundation all over, on just spots that need it and I'm good to go, it matches pretty damn good. I've worn it a total of 4? Maybe 5 times now and I love it so much ugh. Such a beautiful foundation. The finish is awesome, glowy NOT oily. It's a liquid, reminiscent to revlon colorstay consistency but definitely not cakey. It's buildable. I would say the cover is light-medium. I have few (like 4 noticeable) acne scars but they're pretty red and I just use a tiny amount of this on each side of the face and then a little on the forehead, chin, etc...then go over the areas that need a little more coverage with a bit more foundation and I'm good to go. It definitely is not full coverage, perfect for everyday. I don't use it with a primer, I just moisturizer with my ponds primer before hand and then I'm off. Works well for me and makes it look even more glowy. I think I will purchase this as soon as my sample runs out (which might be in months, you only need a dime size amount for the whole face). Highly recommend.

• Maybelline age rewind concealer in "neutralizer" : favorite concealer ever for under the eyes lol. It's a light yellow color (again perfect for me) Self explanatory, I just apply a little under the eyes and pat with my finger until it's all blended. I also apply to the sides of my nose as I have redness there.

• Milani blush in "luminoso" : gorgeous blush. My all time favorite.. I just applied to the apples of the cheek and brush upward a bit towards the temple.

• MAC "naked" pigment: gorgeous little pigment. Not too overpowering as a highlight. I take a mini buffing brush and apply it ever so slightly on my cheekbones. I also add this to the top of my nose sometimes and on the Cupid's bow.

[I don't set with powder and I don't really find the need to, sometimes I will set my under eyes with Nyx translucent powder but I haven't had the chance to repurchase so I didn't)

Eyes:
• Physicians formula kohl liner : applied to only the top waterline
• Wet n Wild mega length mascara : applied only one coat the the outer corners of both the top and bottom lashes
• Physicians formula oh so sexy palette : I applied the champagne shade to the inner corner
• bh cosmetics brown eyeshadow : applied to outer corner and crease of the eye..
• [ I didn't add any product to the brows, just brush them up and out with a spoolie ]

lips:
• L.A. colors baby pops pink lip gloss tube (SO PIGMENTED!!) I've been loving pinks lately I don't know. Lol...

I think you look gorgeous! Your look reminds me of the Victoria Secret models. Natural, and very glowy!
Thank you for the details! I need to bring out that Milano blush... I bought it once and hid it away so I forget about it all the time :(

If I had your brows, I would never fill them in. Girl, you are gorgeous! I agree with Kitty you look like a Victoria secret model. You wear the natural look so well that I will
Believe you're not wearing makeup at all. That lipgloss though!!

Kim, thank you :) there w blessing and a curse. They grow back to fast I'm constantly plucking lol. Thank you!! I really like it.

Kitty, woo! What a compliment :') thank you. Yes, but out that blush!! It's such a gorgeous shade, it'd suit anyone and everyone lol.

Livi, thanks babe!! That's a relief because I feel so weird with the natural look.. I don't know what it is. I work at a resort at the restaurants..we have to have our hair up, minimum makeup, and tame nails. We used to not be able to wear nails or polish at all, but thankfully they're becoming s but more lenient as we were recently bought over by another company lol. So I can have acrylics again!! Just not too long or flashy but yeah.
