Easter Makeup

Happy Easter Angels! Today I want to share with you all my makeup look for the day. It was very simple and I didn't do much for it but I thought id share because the products I used are amazing and what better way to show case them then today.

Elcie Cosmetics is my absolute favorite. The Foundation has been my all time favorite for some time now. I use it as my everyday foundation.

1. Moisturizer: Before I do anything else I have to wash and moisturize my face. I will do a face routine which will dive more into what I do, but we will leave that for another post . The moisturizer I have been obsessed with lately has been the Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb. It literally is a moisture bomb im not even exaggerating. I wear this and the moisture in my face last all day. It smells divine my English Bulldog, Ace approves. I go this as a sample but I will definitely purchase a full size once I run out. Between this and the Glamglow ThirstyMud Moisturizer I can say you can not go wrong. If you want to give it a try you can buy it here.

2. Primer: After applying the Moisture Bomb I went in with a new primer I wanted to try. I have read a lot about using the Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel as a primer. All I can say is HOLY MOLY!!! It is amazing. It hides all of my pores and leaves the skin smooth. When combined with the foundation it gives it a perfect look. I will be sure to do a separate review for this gel as a primer on my blog. If you want to give it a try, you can find it here.

3. Foundation: My go-to/all-time favorite foundation is the Elcie Silque Foundation by Lilit Caradanian. I also used Elcie Cosmetics Beauty Sponge to apply it. I will definitely do a review on just this sponge because that is all I have been using since I purchased it November of 2017. The foundation is the perfect color match to my skin. It is like applying the perfect skin to your own. I was introduced to this foundation by the beauty guru Jaclyn Hill. It was her all year round foundation. I have also followed Lilit for a while and so I just had to try her foundation. I knew she would make something magical. This foundation was raving for quite a while. So much so that it made headlines in allure magazine. It was supposed to be the foundation that worked on any skin tone. Its coverage is medium-to full coverage and it leaves behind a satiny, matte finish. It definitely goes on light and feels moisturizing. It finished with a smooth finish. It does last all day but I did notice my T-zone getting oily however the make did not bulge it stated natural and did not look cakey at all. The bottle itself is amazing because it comes in a pump making it easy to use just what you need. Just one coat took the shine off my face and gave me a matte look however to cover up spots and redness I did go back in with one of two more coats. My skin has a lot of imperfections to I usually go in with two coats. The color match was perfect and this foundation feels so light weight you can almost forget it is there at the end of the day. This foundation can be found in www.elciecosmetics.com

4. Concealer: My all-time favorite go to concealer is the Urban Decay Concealer. It does so well to cover up my dark circles. I like to pair it with the correcting concealer as well to give it a finished look. However I did not use the correcting concealer in this makeup look just the coverage concealer. I came across this concealer at Ulta and I have heard so many give it a great review. I must say that it definitely lives up to the hype. It does not crease in your fine lines and it stays on all day without getting cakey. I use the shade Medium Neutral and it’s the perfect shade for me. I am a Tan/Honey Shade with yellow undertones.

5. Lashes: The lashes that I used are by Tarte. They are the Goddess Lashes (top right hand corner of the picture, the second set is Center of Attention). I like them a lot, they are not super glamorous but they are not natural either. They are the perfect in between I think. I have just recently started using lashes more often and I decided to get these as my new set. I got two of them to try out. I have not tried Tarte Lashes yet so they will be put to the test for several days before I decide whether they are my favorite. I have tried the House of Lashes before and they are divine and some of my favorite lashes.

Here is the link for where I purchased them: Goddess Lashes:

6. Lipstick: I used two different lipsticks to achieve this lip color. They are both by MAC Cosmetics. The main one, the one underneath is Velvet Teddy and the one on top is a glitter color is viva glam. They are my favorite two combination to give that nude but glossy/glittery color. You can find Velvet Teddy on Mac Cosmetics the link is below: https://www.maccosmetics.com/product/13854/310/products/makeup/lips/lipstick/matte-lipstickgclid=EAIaIQobChMI9cbY0cKf2gIVyrfACh0vEgBJEAAYASAAEgKoHvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CJCM0NPCn9oCFUbI4wcdcjUJuw#/shade/Velvet_Teddy

You can find Viva Glam Lustre on Mac Cosmetics the link is below: https://www.maccosmetics.com/product/13854/966/products/makeup/lips/lipstick/viva-glam-lipstick#/shade/Viva_Glam_V

7. Eyebrows: For eyebrows I use my #1 go to eyebrow product which is by none other than Anastasia Beverly Hills because I mean come on its ABH. I use the color Dark Brown. I love everything ABH, their eyebrow products the most. I use their Brow Wiz, Dip Brow Pomade and their Brow Definer. In this picture I used the Pomade. I usually use the Pomade for the thicker middle portion of the brow and the tip. I usually go in with the brow wiz at the beginning. I believe its so easy to use and such good product that I cant do without. You can find the pomade on the link below. https://www.sephora.com/product/dipbrow-pomade-P384060

8. Bronzer/Blush/Highlighter: For my Bronzer and Highlighter I used the E.L.F. Cosmetics x Heart Defensor. I love this dual highlight. It is definitely affordable and it will have you blinding everyone from here to Mars. The colors are called Coffee and Cream, it is cased in a rose gold compact with mirror. You can use the rose gold highlighter as a bronzer or an eyeshadow and the more pearlescent, champagne shade as a highlight of your cheekbones or the inner corner of your eyes. There is definitely no right or wrong way to use it because like Defensor says you will "slay every selfie" with her new product.

The blush I used in this picture is from a blush palette by Morphe. OMG yes! Morphe is my absolute favorite and I will do a review just for them on my blog. In this picture I used the Morphe 9N The Naturally Blush Palette. I used the most natural shade which is the one pictured right in the middle. I absolutely love this palette because it gives you so many choices depending on what you want to do with it. You can easily turn this into a work to evening blush palette as well. There is also another option if you feel you want to use it as an eyeshadow there are some shades here that can easily make a great eyeshadow look. One of my favorite things about Morphe is how affordable but pigmented their makeup is. They are also now available at Ulta which is going to destroy my pockets hahaha. You can find this beauty in the link below:I tried my best to try and find it on the Morphe website but it seems that it has been discontinued or no longer available. I read somewhere that amazon has it but I have yet to find it on there. I will continue to search and will update the post as soon as I have a link for you all.

Thanks for reading Angels! Talk to you all in the comment section. 💋
