Makeup Request Photos

Sachie asked for a total makeup picture of all my current makeup including the unopened stuff I talked about last week, so here it is! Sorta, and more, haahaa! I realized I hadn’t done a total makeup roundup since June and a bit has changed. I went ahead and separated everything by makeup type. And it goes without saying, no, I don’t wear all of this every day, haahaa~ I wear maybe 1/4 of it a day if not 1/8th. Obviously different items are for different & various looks. Though some things are repeating, like having 3 pink blushes open & in use at one time. Multiple mascaras I use depending on the look I want that day. And I have a few opened black liquid eyeliners because I was trying out a few new ones and ended up not being exactly what I needed so opening/buying another type ensued!

BB Cream, Foundation, Concealers, Powder, Setting Spray
I use these the most daily. Typical day includes BB Cream + concealer (both liquid and under eye type) + powder

I don’t use the foundation much since I like my my BB Cream more but I at least always use my powder every day.

Blushes, Highlights, Bronzer
Currently my daily makeup includes the Highbeam and a different blush from my Shu Uemura palette below. But these I tend to switch up the most! I wear the other powder highlighters a lot, every other day, the bronzer too, and the Cosmagic Deco Blush I’ve been wearing a lot lately.

The orange blushes I tend to wear more often in summer so I haven’t worn them much lately, maybe once or twice a month. Same with Stila Shimmer Highlight, it’s so golden I wear it for summer more.

The Tarte cheek stain I used to wear constantly when I only wore only face powder and not BB Cream so often.

Nars and Anna Sui blush I switch out a lot but haven’t used them much this month.

I think blush is easily my favorite thing to buy~ For a long long time I was too scared to wear blush because growing up I thought only harlots wore it and it looked “too fake” for a girl “like me.” At least that’s the lesson I got from my Mom concerning makeup “how to’s.” But a few years ago I abandoned the blush fear and embraced overtly pink’end and orange’d cheeks! NEVER LOOKING BACK! Now if I have to rush makeup I at least wear tinted powder AND blush if I can’t wear anything else!
