My daily face

I've been needing to get out the door in a hurry this week which means I have a total of 5-10 minutes for hair and makeup. This has been my go to as of late.

brows...gives my face some needed defintion

MAC paintpot in Groundwork, put this all over my eyelid and a bit on my browbone

great neutral little pallet

Using a MAC 219 brush I cover my lid and crease with the darker browns, highlight under my eyebrow with the lights and line my eye on top only with the brown and black

few coats of mascara

the smallest dab of this goes a long long way-I use it to cover any under eye darkness

a pea-sized amount will cover all the areas I want to even out and is super easy since I apply it with my hands

best bronzer ever

swipe on the cheeks, nose and chin

blush-my favorite makeup item, just on the cheeks

love this stuff-spray all over my face and it gives a nice dewy finish while making the makeup last longer

 

apply straight from the tube and then blot down with my finger (color is Sheer Mandarin)

 

best shot I could get of the finished product...you get the idea:)

 

 

My Current Favorite : Bronzers

I am very pale with freckles. When one is so pale most bronzers look as if an orange chalk stick has been rubbed all over. This is not (usually) the goal of any woman. However, there is a bronzer I have fallen in love with and used for the past 3 year. Bobbi Brown's Bronzer is perfection. The consistency is smooth and the bronzer is matte. I appreciate that Bobbi always offers a wide range of colors in her makeup line so that finding the perfect shade is rarely a problem. The Golden Light shade is fabulous on me and gives me a realistic touch of color without going overboard.

I also adore her Illuminating Bronzer because it gives dimension and energy to my face on those days when it is feeling/looking a bit dull. Often times during the Summer or when on vacation I just swipe the Illuminating Bronzer on my face along with a swipe of chapstick and am ready to go for the day. I love when I come across products that allow me to get ready in the fewest steps possible. Don't you? So, if you have not ever tried a bronzer or if you are still on the hunt for a good one I cast all of my votes for Bobbi's!
