Makeup Look

 So I created this look last week and put it up on Instagram and facebook.  I really liked it and I feel like it can be used for Summer or Fall.  So I am going to walk you through how I created this look and what products I used.  Next time I do a look I will be filming it for you tube :) YAY you guys will get a better idea on how to do it.

So first thing after my shower I moisturize my skin with Mario Badescu A.H.A & Ceramide Moisturizer I love it.  Makes my skin feel nice and doesn't leave it feeling like there is a bunch of product on my face.

Next I apply my eye primer.  Its a brand that came in my kit when I took my class at

For this look I used my Sedona Lace Palette.  The 168 pro full color second edition

I started with a light off white for all over the eye area.  I then took a bronze color in a lighter shade and put it all over the lid.  I blended out with a tan color and then took a purple (it was bright but you can't tell in the picture) to work in the outer corner.

I used maybelline gel liner

to do the winged liner on top.  I then used a dark brown liner for the bottom liner right on the water line.

I applied red cherry lashes #43 with DUO lash adhesive.  I buy my lashes and glue here.....

Then I filled in my brows with some powder (also from my kit) I don't have a name for it but I used an angle brush and powder.

I then used my CG tru blend foundation and my real techniques face expert brush and applied my foundation.

Next I used my NYX concealer and brightened the under eye area.

Set with some translucent powder and applied a neutral-peach blush on the cheeks.

I finished the look with a lipstick I recently purchases CG lipstick 415 in Siren

Real Techniques-Face Expert Brush

Hello everyone,

Today I am giving a little review about the Real Techniques face expert brush.  I have heard good things and wanted to give it a try.  I put a link to the site at the end of this post.

Brushes really do make all the difference with makeup.  I mean I didn't use brushes when I was younger and I made it work....or at least I think I did ;) but they really do help when it come to blending your shadows, getting that flawless finish with your foundation, etc.

I have the regular foundation brush and use disposable sponges also and wasn't loving it.  I won't even lie before the standard foundation brush and occasionally using sponges I just used my fingers.  It worked okay but seriously I am loving the FACE EXPERT brush from real techniques.

This is the standard oval foundation brush

I put my foundation on the back of my hand got a little product on the brush and started with my cheek area.  It blended so well.  Usually I get streaks, you know what I am talking about all those lines from the brush and it takes me forever to blend them out and get that nice smooth finish.  Not the case with this brush.

What I LOVE about it is that it is so reasonably priced and works so well.  It gives you that flawless finish and my foundation routine will not take so long now :)

They sell the Face expert brush individually and they have many other brushes.  I look forward to trying them all.  I will definitely be purchasing another brush for my freelance kit.

Have any of you tried this brush?  What are your thoughts?

It seriously costs $9.00 TRY IT :) I know there are other brushes out there and sigma is definitely another brand I will try but I like to try all different brands/products and give you guys my honest opinion.  I was impressed with this brush, the quality, and the price.

Have a great day loves,



This is the Real Techniques Face Expert Brush.

AMAZING!!!!

Jessie
