12.5.2010 Beauty FOTD

My friend who got me into beauty told me about this British makeup artist named Lisa Eldridge and then I started watching her beauty videos. And then I became inspired. Not only does the makeup she does on editorials look amazing, but she's ridiculously beautiful. And tonight, I'm about to head out for my mom's birthday, and I was inspired by Lisa when I did my makeup. I was going for simple and fresh look and I think I kind of achieved it. Although I'm beginning to have wished I used some eyedrops in this one.
I'm going to attempt a step-by-step approach to how I did this look.
1. Moisturized.
2. Mixed primer and foundation and applied it with a foundation brush.
3. With the same brush, I applied Mac's Joie de Vivre on my cheeks.
4. Dusted my face with a Maybelline powder foundation.
5. Applied a Covergirl lipstain then applied a pink gloss over it, but then it looked like too much so I tried taking it off, but there was still a hint of lipstain, and so I just applied the pinkish lipgloss (man that was a long one.) haha.
6. Used Nyx's eyeliner in Pearl White on my brow bone and a tad on the inner corners of my eyes. Blended that.
7. Applied UDPP. And a taupish-brown generic eyeshadow on my eyelids.
8. Covergirl Lash Blast Luxe mascara (I think this is my favorite).
9. I eventually noticed how blah my eyes looked, and so I tightlined with a black-brown eyeliner.. and then a tad of black eyeliner on the bottom.

Dang.. I think next time I'll try to condense my beauty routine. And eventually try to achieve a 5-minute face. I was trying to do that a couple days ago, but it turned out to be a 10-minute face.
