I posted this picture to my Instagram before I went to the Postal Service concert two weeks ago, and got a few questions about the makeup I’m wearing, and whether I could share my routine, etc. And, I mean, DUH. So, here’s what I used to get this look:
1. cover girl blush in “rose silk” 2. milani blush in “luminous” 3. make up for ever hd foundation 4. make up for ever hd powder 5. nyc bronzer in “sunny” 6. l’oreal true match concealer 7. e.l.f. concealor and highlighter duo
I apply concealer first, then foundation with a flat-topped brush (after moisturizing). I then apply my bronzer in a “3” shape, sucking in my cheeks to create definition. I brush up and out to my temples, and a bit on my neck so there is no line. I then apply the cover girl blush to the apples of my cheeks, followed by the milani blush up to right underneath my temples. These two blush shades are so pretty together! The milani adds a nice shimmer, too! I apply the e.l.f. concealer after doing my eye makeup (below) to cover up any loose eyshadow that may have fallen. I finish with a light brushing of the powder.
1. e.l.f. cream eyeliner 2. modlash falsies no. 33 3. duo adhesive 4. cover girl lash blast mascara (3 pack here) 5. almay kohl eyeliner 6. nyc brow pencil 7. benefit cream shadow in “r.s.v.p.” 8. urban decay eye shadow in “half baked” 9. urban decay eye shadow in “smog” 10. cover girl eye shadow in “champagne”
For my eyeshadow, I apply the benefit cream shadow on the entire lid and brow bone with my finger, then use a brush to apply “smog” all over the lid, and up to the brow bone. Then I use an angled brush to apply “half baked” in the inner corners of the eye. After pencilling in my brows, I put a bit of cover girl “champagne” on the upper brow bone to create definition and also use it as a highlighter above my cheeks.
For eyeliner, I apply e.l.f. cream liner on my upper eye only. I use the kohl liner on top of my eye and also lightly underneath my eye, from the outer corner to the middle. I smudge that to give it a smokey effect.
1. jergens moisturizer 2. victoria’s secret sexy little things noir body spray (yes, I know, I still use body spray. by the way, they only have the big size online. Mine was $10 in store and lasts forever!) 3. china glaze nail polish in “flip flop fantasy” 4. nivea lip shimmer
Also, someone asked if they are my real eyelashes. Pfft, I wish! ;)
This was a pretty heavy-duty look, as it was for a concert! I wouldn’t wear all of this every day, but it made for a really fun look!

Is makeup forever HD worth it? I’ve been considering..
Katie Did What
Haha I’ll totes teach you! ;) And yes, it is totally worth it. I love it! Not for everyday, but for a bit of a fuller coverage.

Pretty! Urban Decay shadows are so amazing, half baked is one i have been using a lot lately. You should try to get the naked 2 palette I use mine everyday and the colors seem right up your alley :)
Katie Did What
I know I know, I need the Naked palette! Do you like 2 better than the original? I have the Too Faced Naked palette, and love it! They’re definitely my go-to shades!

Michelle Pickett
Yes I personally like 2 better, I think it has more warm colors and more shimmery colors vs matte colors. Oooo I’ll have to check out the too faced palette I’ve never tried those products!
Katie Did What
Ooh okay you’ve convinced me to try it out!! 2 it is! ;)

Have you been using the Makeup Forever HD for a while? I’ve been wanting to try it because I’ve seen lots of beauty bloggers that use it but I’m always weary of trying new foundation for fear of having a weird looking face! Haha
Katie Did What
Yes, I’ve been using makeup forever HD for like 3 years, I think. It’s my holy grail full coverage foundation, for sure. It’s seriously the best!

I need to start rocking falsies more often!
Katie Did What
Yeah, I get frustrated with falsies, so I only wear them very rarely! haha they stress me out ;) but yes! they look so good!

I now need to go out and buy all this makeup. I never use bronzer or blush but I’d like to try it. I just need a makeup artist. Btw, do you have any tips for buying false eyelashes and putting them on? I want to try because my lashes are thin but I am slightly terrified.
P.S. Sexy Little Things Noir smells AMAZING. My sister used to work at VS and I remembered liking it when she got it for free to try out years ago so I recently bought one of the rollerballs for myself and I love it to death.
P.P.S. Body spray is still good. I don’t care what anyone says. I mean have you tried Forever Red, Cashmere Glow and Sensual Amber from Bath & Body Works? They are like heaven in a bottle. Trust me on this. I’ve also gotten many compliments on them. Just saying.
Katie Did What
Ooh yes, you should try them out! Experiment and find what look works best for you :) That’s the fun of makeup, I think. I have zero tips on falsies, except for the ones I used up there and the glue I used are both really good. I would probs not start with the ones I used since they are SUPER thick and kind of shocking, if it’s your first time haha. Ugh, just youtube a video on how to apply them, and watch it like 20 times and then after that it’s trial and error, really. I still get stressed out about applying them- it’s not easy! And YES I looooove vs body spray! and also bath and body works! Body spray fo lyyyyfe.

I really need a eyelash tutorial. I just make a mess and have to take them off! I need a video!
Katie Did What
Ohh I’m pretty miserable at applying falsies myself. I youtubed how to’s and then practiced a bunch of times and it still gives me anxiety haha
