I’m a Femme and I love, love,
love, love, love being a Girl! It’ safe to say that makeup is a huge part of my
life. Am I one of those women who won’t allow her Lover to see her without
makeup on? No! Am I one of those women who can’t leave the house without a full
face? No! I am a firm believer that if you’re going to be in a relationship
with someone then she needs to know what you look like glammed up and totally
stripped down – if you have no idea what
your Lover looks like without makeup then exit stage right immediately!
My Complexion: I have the Mixed
Chicks Dilemma – Gold/Yellow undertone with skin that’s a Butterscotch-Caramel
mix in the Winter (MAC NC44), and a Caramel-Nutmeg mix in the Summers (MAC
NC55).
Face: I have tried just about
every drugstore and department store foundations and as much as I have strayed
I have always come back to MAC’s Studio Fix Foundation. No other brand,
including those specifically designed for women of color, has been able to give
me the coverage I crave and match my complexion as MAC has done. The concealer
I use is Maybelline’s Liquid Concealer in Café which I commonly find at Target.
And to finish off my look I use Cover Girl’s TruBlend Minerals in 415. A little
goes a long way with this powder, in fact I’ve had my current one for 4 months
now.
Eyes: The eyes MUST POP whether
it be a subtle neutral tone or a complete viva glam, the eyes MUST POP! Costal
Scents Eye Shadow Palette’s are a GOD SEND. If you’re not already on the
bandwagon I highly suggest you jump on it and fast. I have the 88 Shimmer Palettes
and I am in love! For a Primer I use Coastal Scents Camo Quad. I’m not a fan of
this concealer quad for my face but it’s perfection with my eye shadows. My
eyeliner can vary but my daily use is a pencil from New York Color (NYC), and
for a night out I use Almay’s Liquid Eyeliner in Smoke Gray. I’m not a fan of
false lashes unless they are to be worn for a formal event or photo shoots so I
give my lashes some illusion with NYC’s Show Time Mascara.
Lips: I’m not a lipstick kind of
girl, never have been and probably never will be. I don’t like how it goes on
and I don’t like how it feels. But when it comes to glosses I’m all over it. My
daily staple is NYC’s Liquid Lipshine in Nude. I also own the same brand in
about 4 other colors as well. They give my lips a sexy wet look and are very
buildable. If I’m going for a glam look I’ll use an NYC lip liner pencil then
build with the lip gloss.
That’s what’s in my makeup bag…what’s
in yours? Got an interesting tip? SHARE!
