So... makeup. Makeup makeup. I don't know anything about makeup and the people at Macy's scare me, so after much on-line researching, I decided to make a trip to
Sephora and see what I could find. I ended up buying more than I should, but figured it'd be good to try out. First I decided to get a tinted moisturizer. Actually I was just looking for a regular moisturizer, but I heart Laura Mercier was a good brand, so I figured I'd give it a try since my skin is so dry.
Next I wanted to get a primer because I've heard you should always use a good primer. Plus I figured it'd be good to have a layer between the moisturizer and foundation, so I used Smashbox for that:
The next thing I wanted to get was concealer. I have some mineral concealer for my eyes, but I'd heard about this Make Up For Ever stuff that was good for dark circles and redness, so thought I'd give it a try. Plus it has three other colors for regular concealer!
I'd heard a lot of good stuff about NARS Orgasm blush and that pretty much any skin tone could use, so I got that next.
Then I needed some tools to actually apply the stuff. I decided to go cheap so got Sephora's travel kit:
Finally this morning I decided to put the makeup to the test. Sorry I'm so ugly! Below is a picture of me without any makeup and then one with! I think I look a little better... but need to work on my smile, and I maybe need more makeup and maybe I have the wrong color foundation?
