I have been super busy and sleep deprived too so I'm Sorry!! I've been MIA...
So first as usual I prime both my face and eyes! I used MAC's painterly eye shadow primer which I strongly recommend to EVERYONE and Tarte's poreless primer.
I then use MAC's Soft Brown in my crease to blend out any harsh lines I might have from the dramatic blue with the Sigma Blending brush.
I then put Nehru on a Blending blush and put it in my outer corners and drag it to my mid crease. Make sure to use a light hand because you don't want the black to look too harsh! I then go back in the the previous Sigma brush and blend it all out so it's nice and buffed with no harsh lines.
You can't even see it but I had on glitter!! Love any excuse to wear glitter and why not use the basketball game as an excuse. I apply the glitter using a MAC 242 brush sprayed with NYX Dewy finish. I dip the brush in the glitter and apply it on the inner portion of my eye. it gives it even more of a pop and extra excitement!
I then use Maybelline Eyestudio in Blackest Black as my eye liner. I always use the brush that comes with it because it works best for me but I know a small angled brush can also be used. I gave it a little wing because I love wings and it helps bring dramatics to the eye. But go with whatever your little heart desires or best fits your eye shape.
I use Maybelline's Great Lash in very black, which I love, I do not know why I waited so long to try it! Then I used Urban Decay's 24/7 in Zero and put this in my waterline. I personally lay it on so it's dark because it makes my eyes pop!
Because I was going to be gone for a while I decided to use MAC's pro longwear foundation which is my new obsession and I am in LOVE! I apply is using a Sigma Flat Kabuki brush. This is one of my favorite brushes to use to apply foundation.
I also used the MAC pro longwear concealer for under my eyes also another new favorite! I use this blender sponge to apply it so it's nice and even!
Since my face is oily i always set my foundation with a loose powder and went with the Giorgio Armoni one. It is imperative that you always set under your eyes with a powder too, regardless of what skin type you have, so the concealer doesn't settle into lines!
I used MAC's weekend creme bronzer because I wanted to keep the focus on my eyes and keep the rest of my face pretty neutral. I love this Angled Kabuki by Sigma ... Especially for creme blushes! Actually any blush really. Creme blushes are so beautiful and I love the finish they leave... give it a try if you're into blushes!
I then used Gold Deposit by MAC to highlight my cheek bones! This is the most beautiful highlight EVER! (It gives Betty Lou-Manizer a run for it's money.) I am obsessed with it and this would be beautiful on all skin colors but those darker in skin OMG you'll be addicted!
I am totally obsessed and have been recommending this to any girl that breathes!
I finished it all off by using MAC's Studio Fix because it was more of an occasion and I wanted a flawless finish! I used Studio Gear #10 to apply it all.
To fill in my eyebrows I use MAC's brown clown ... It looks super light in this picture but it's a dark brown and it fills in my eyebrows really well. I also know Cork is another popular color to use. I apply it all using an angled brow brush!
To help keep all of it in place I used Urban Decay's all nighter which I love! Really works! And used a simple lipgloss from NYX!
ALL DONE 50 steps and 100 products later!
