More Sephora

I've been looking for a really good highlighter as well as a good contour product, and I think I found them….! I also picked up a new lipstick, just because :-)

I've been using Hoola bronzer by Benefit for the longest time, and it comes off as more of an orange toned brown on my skin so I've been trying to find something more cool toned and the NARS Contour Blush in Paloma looked perfect. 

I also have been using MAC's Soft and Gentle since my Freshman year of high school- so almost 5 years- and I got kind of bored of it and I wanted to try something new. That being said, Soft and Gentle is a really good highlighter. I highly recommend it. The Argan Enlightenment Illuminizing Veil by Josie Maran is a little more natural looking than MAC's Soft and Gentle, but it's more noticeable than Hourglass' Ambient Lighting Powder. It's right in the middle of the two. 

Right now I love the strong highlight/contour look that has been going on. I've been looking for the perfect products to get this look, so hopefully I found them!

The lipstick that I bought is NARS Audacious Lipstick in the color Anna. The packaging is really chic and simple, and I love it. The color is extremely opaque and the formula doesn't dry out my lips. I definitely want to go back to get more of these lipsticks.

It's currently raining and I'm really lazy so I decided to do my makeup!! This is more dramatic than what I typically do, with a heavy wing and false eyelashes. 

On my eyes I used:

MAC's Vintage Selection paint pot

MAC's Copperthorn fluidline

MAC's Soft Brown in the crease

Urban Decay's Nooner and Limit in the crease

Urban Decay's Trick on the lid

Eyelashes: Ardell's Natural Multipack 

Liner: Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner in Trooper

On my lips:

Liner: MAC's Whirl

Lipstick: MAC's Half & Half and Creme Cup in the center

I took two different pictures in semi-differnent lighting to show the look

Mother's Day Makeup
