![]() The other night I tried to do a smoky eye, with dark blue shadows (we were going out). ![]() I too like to wear makeup, and feel more polished with it on, even though I go for a very minimal, no-makeup effect. I’m always curious about what products people like to use. So tell me… am I in the minority? Do you wear makeup everyday, sporadically, just on special occasions, or not at all? And if you have favorites or tips, please share! Kidding! I skip the lipstick most of the time and just swipe it on before I leave the house. I just withhold my affection in the name of looking good. * Edit: A lot of people wonder about wearing lipstick and having a baby that you want to smooch all day. A few other recent favorites: MAC Lady Danger, NARS Funny Face, and Maybelline Hooked on Pink Lipgloss. I wrote about my quest to find my perfect lipstick shade, and I’m still loving Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Daring Pink as my go-to, everyday color. I brand-hop and experiment with color all the time. ![]() I guess it’s seen as old-fashioned? No matter. My favorite! My friends don’t tend to wear lipstick. One color that I do like quite a bit though is MAC Satin Frost. It’s likely that I just need to learn how to apply it in a more flattering way. I usually skip this step because I feel like eyeshadow just isn’t a good look for me. Sometimes though, I also like the softness of smudged pencil, and in that case I use ALMAY Intense I-Color Eyeliner in Black Pearl. I like the sharp precision of liquid eyeliner (I started using Écriture de Chanel after Ree gushed about it, but now her post seems to be gone). Bright pink cheeks are so cute! I like NARS Blush in Desire, but if I’m in need of something more understated, I choose Deep Throat. I’ve experimented with other brands and finishes (in fact, I’m eying MAC Studio Tech), but I always come back to Studio Fix. I have used MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation in NC20 for years, after my friend Tyrone (yes, you’re reading that right) recommended it to me. It covers circles and blemishes, and I use my ring finger to apply it. If you have a recommendation for an alternative, I’d love to hear it. It used to help control oil, and now it almost seems I’m worse off when I use it. I used to love Olay Complete All Day UV Moisturizer – Combination/Oily but they changed the formula recently and I’m not happy with it. ![]() It seems like a lot when it’s all written out, but I’m done in five minutes or less. Here’s what I tend to use on a daily basis. And bonus: I’m not embarrassed to answer the door! I just feel better when I take the time to get ready in the morning, plus I like the feeling of being able to get up and go at a moment’s notice. I’m a blogger and a mother of two, and I get dressed and wear makeup every day.Īm I in the minority among my fellow bloggers? Among my fellow moms? Sometimes it seems that way. ![]()
