Office Makeup

I've been reading beauty blogs lately and got inspired to do a post in their FOTD style.

Here's my Face of the Day- Office Makeup!

The required products used list + application step by step!
1. Mally Perfect Prep Primer- All over face
2. Make Up Designory Foundation- All over face, pay attention to undereye circles and redness
3. Larenim loose powder in lt med- All over the face
4. Professional Makeup Eyebrow pencil in Brown Black- Applied with a brow brush. I run the pencil over the brush bristles.
5. Smashbox Eyelights in Beam- Use lightest shade all over, then darkest at the crease. Use middle shade to blend  all.
6. Mally Evercolor Starlight Waterproof liner in Lucky Penny- Line upper and lower lash lines. Darken upper outer lashline.
7. Shu Uemura Eyelash curler- Curl lashes in 3 places
8. Cache Cache Mascara Base- Apply to upper and lower lashes
9. Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus- Comb through upper and lower lashes
10. Nars Blush/Bronzer in Orgasm/Laguna- Contour cheeks with bronzer then apply blush. Use bronzer to define nose too.
11. Studio Makeup Photofinish Pressed Powder in Glitz- Highlight on upper cheekbones
12. Mineral Fusion Lip Pencil in Elegant - Apply all over lip
13. Tarte lipgloss in Romeo/Juliet- Romeo (medium pink) all over lip, Juliet (shimmery light pink) on the middle of lips.

Wow. 13 items total. And I consider this a basic day look.

What about brushes?
Bobbi Brown's Powder, Blush, Eyeshader, Eyeshadow, Brow.

I just love how my mood perks up as a result of a couple of minutes spent on makeup.

I have to practice on my eyemakeup technique. I hope my friends are willing models.
