My updated everyday makeup.

I thought I would do an updated everyday makeup. Basically, I'll just mention the products I've been using to do my makeup lately. Most of the products are the same but some of them are not and I did add a few to the list. If you want to see the previous post about my everyday makeup you can just click right here. Let's just get right into it. 

As a primer, I use the Mac Cosmetics fix plus. I usually only use it during the winter because it does make my face a little more shiny then I would like during the summer. Since my skin is a little bit more dry during those cold months, it just makes it perfect. I tried it many ways and the way that really works for me, is when I dot my foundation on my face, spray the fix plus and then blend my foundation. 

The foundation I use is still the same. It's my favourite and I really don't know if I'm ever going to change. The Revlon Colorstay is just the best and it's actually running low. I guess I'll be heading to the States soon. It's just the best, the color match and the staying power is just amazing. Now, I did use other ones but I just always go back to Revlon. I also tried the Nars Sheer Glow which I liked but it's too expensive for me to use everyday.

Next, I use the Maybelline concealer. It's the Superstay Better Skin in the color deep. I really like it. It really hides my dark circles and stays put all day. I don't use the Maybelline Fit Me anymore only because they either discontinued my color or it's just not available in Canada. I usually just put some on my under eyes and on my brow bone, let it sit for a minute or two and then dab and blend it. I don't use it as a highlight because anyways it's a perfect match for my skin tone and I'm not really there yet when it come to doing my makeup. 

As for eyeliner, I still use l'Oréal Infallible The Super Slim liquid eyeliner in the color black. I really like it. I did try the L'Oréal Voluminous Superstar liquid eyeliner in the color black, but I must say I really don't like it. I have to press so much on the applicator or shake it up really hard to get a nice sharp line and a nice color pay off. That's why I went back to my trusty Super Slim eyeliner.

As for blush and mascara, it didn't change. I won't get into any long details but I didn't try anything new. I still use the MAC blush in the color sunbasque and my mascara is still the L'Oréal Voluminous in Carbon Black. The only thing I can say that has change is the fact that I use a different mascara when it comes to my bottom lashes. I use the L'Oréal Telescopic in Carbon Black. I like the fact that it separates my bottom lashes without making them look too thick. I should also mention that I don't necessarily use blush everyday.

Now on to the best part, my highlight. Now, I layer two highlights one on top of the other. I bought I new one not to long ago it's the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector one the color Topaz. I must say for my skin tone it's a perfect match, but I do need to layer it with another one which is the Colour Splash  baked mineral blush in Spicy Splash. Now yes it's a blush but I use the lightest color as my highlight, and I'm sorry but it is wayyyyy tooooo sparkly to be a blush, it's a highlight! I won't talk to much about the Becca highlight because I will have a review coming in a few weeks.

I don't use a lipstick for my everyday makeup. Like I said many times, I'm not a lipstick girl I only use them on occasions. The only product I use on my lips is some lip balm. The one I really like is the Softlips Lip Moisturizer in the flavour Cool Cherry. It also has a fps of 20.

My everyday makeup minus the blush.

My fall lipsticks.

Fall is here. It's colder, but at least the sun comes along six out of seven times a week. We're lucky this year. Usually, it's all rain, rain and rain and I am not a fan of it. It's all about big sweaters, big socks and hot chocolate. I just wanted to show you guys my fall lipsticks. You know what, I guess it's fall-winter lipsticks because let's be serious we just wear most of the same ones through the next season. 

The first one is by Tarte. It is from the Lippie Lingerie collection. The one I bought is in the color Revealed. Now, on me it is not super dark. It's almost like a nude color. It has a matte finish and has a mint smell.

The second one is one I already mentioned in a previous post. Like seriously 2 or 3 posts ago. It's the MAC Cosmetics in the color Antique Velvet. If you want a review the link is here. It's one of my favorite. Like I said before, I line it with the Revlon Colorstay lipliner in the color Chocolate.

The third one is the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid in the color Possessed Plum. Okay so first of all I just want to mention two things. It is not matte what so ever unless you take some of the excess of and play around with it and I hate the smell of it. The smell of raisin or even raison cola is just not for me sorry and it's not like it fades away through out the day. Other then that, I mean I'm not really supposed to do a review here but the color pay off is really nice. Since I'm not a lipstick expert the wand is a bit difficult for me to use, so I line my lips with Annabelle Waterproof lipliner in the color Bordeaux. (I think this brand is only available in Canada.)

The last one I wanted to show you guys is not really a fall color. It's actually kind of nude. I only use it once in a while when I want to make the other lipsticks a little more pale, so I top the Mac Antique Velvet or the Tarte Revealed with the NYX soft matte lip cream in the color Abu Dhabi. I also do use it alone sometimes.

So these were my favorite fall lipsticks. I do have other ones but I just wanted to mention a few. If you have any questions just ask.

Thank You!
