In's and Outs 2

So... it has been forever since I have posted...okay like four months. Yikes! Sorry! Anyway as fall has crept into our lives I have switched up my makeup routine.

In's

MAC Coppering Eyeshadow I love this eyeshadow in the fall and winter. It is so warm and adds a nice glow to any eye. I have found myself reaching for this everyday for work. I place Coppering on the very base of my eyelid right up next to the lashes. Then use my MAC 224 brush to blend it out (using windshield wiper motions) up to my crease. They I use MAC Embark to darken the out V. If you have enough time you can add a dash of amber lights to the middle of the eyelid and blend out. This is such an easy fall neutral look.

MAC Painterly Paint Pot I tend to shift between eye primers and paint pots to prime my lids before eyeshadow. Right now I am not loving my Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I feel as though it is too greasy. So in light of my on again off again relationship with paint pots I am using painterly and love it. I feel as though it has a tackier consistency and holds the shadow better. I wonder if it has anything to do with the weather change.

False Eyelashes I don't wear false eyelashes on a daily basis but I adore them for nights out or days when you want to look a little extra special. I use all kinds of eyelashes but I always tend to go back to Ardell. I find that they are the best value. I know that you can use a pair multiple times but I am not ginger enough to salvage my lashes after a night off; so MAC is sort of an expensive one night stand.

Out's

Maybelline Dream Mousse Foundation I purchased this under the allure of a Victoria's Secret Supermodel selling it to me! Fooled again! I think every woman wants an airbrushed look everyday but this did not do that for me. I feel as though it laid on my skin like a think layer and never really meshed with my skin. It also caused me to breakout. Oh well back on the hunt for the perfect foundation.

French Tipped Nails I love french tips in the summer. They are so clean and fresh looking but in the winter I can't help but love dark nails. I am loving my short nails decked out in Lincoln Park After Dark and Sephora's Dark Room.

Let me know what you are loving right now!
