Warning: I don’t know what I’m doing.Â
I am not an authority on the do’s and don’ts of the “art of makeup”.Â
I do things like lick a q-tip and then wipe off smeared mascara.Â
I can’t live without lip gloss.
My eyebrows are two different shapes,
likely as a result of some plucking mishap in the past.
There is nothing I despise more
than putting on mascara–it feels like a chore,
but like many girlies, I feel naked without it.
So take whatever you read here with a grain of salt,
and then go find some other blog where the girl actually knows what she’s doing.
Here is the makeup I use right now.
1. Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation. Shade: Light {Sephora}
2. Bare Escentuals Bronzer. Shade: Faux Tan {Spehora}
3.Sonia Kashuk Blush {Sephora}
4. Benefit cream to powder foundation stick Shade: Paper Dolls {Sephora}
5. Stila Eyeshadow Trio. Shade: Gold Glow {Sephora}
6. Stila Smudge Pot. I use this as eye liner. {Sephora}
7. Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara. Shade: Black {Sephora}
8. Eye lash curler. {anywhere}
9. Lorac Lip Stain. Shade: Sweet Emotion–see below. {Sephora}
First I take my Benefit concealer and I color over all my blemishes. You’ll notice there are A LOT of dots.
Then I take a sponge and blend in all the concealer.
Yes, it’s time for me to get a new sponge–ick.
Then I apply the bronzer. This is my MUST have make-up. Without it, I look pale and sick. I once read in a magazine that you should apply bronzer wherever you would get a sunburn. It should not be applied ALL over your face–that’s what I read anyway.

Now I apply my mineral foundation over the top of the bronzer. This will help blend the bronzer and hide the rest of my pesky zits.
Then I use my blush and apply just on top of my cheekbones.
Now the basics are done, but I still look bleh until I put on my eye makeup.
I LOVE this Gold Glow Eyeshadow Trio by Stila.
First I apply the lightest shade one to my entire eye lid, and just a little teeny bit underneath the bottom of my eye.
Next I use both of the darker colors and apply to the upper crease of my eye lids, like so:
I use an eyeliner brush to apply a quick line of the Stila Smudge Pot under my eyes. I don’t use eyeliner on my upper eyelid, simply because I don’t know how to put it on.
Then I curl my eyelashes and put on my waterproof, black mascara.
But I still have my secret little somethin somethin left to put on.
My all-powerful, and very sassy Lorac lip stain, followed by a layer of lip gloss.
And that’s it.
Nothing special.
