Ultra Glam Makeup Details

I wore this look to a wedding, and aside from my horrible eyebrows, I totally loved it! I don't know what it is about my eyebrows but they are the trickiest part of my makeup routine! Anyways, for this look I used almost all Makeup Geek (MUG) shadows. If you haven't already checked out any of MUG's products, I highly recommend that you do. These colors are SO pigmented and easy to blend, not to mention they are affordable. The queen makeup guru, Jaclyn Hill, claims they are just as high quality as Mac (and I agree) but half the price.

Eyes: The transition color (the very top) is Mac's Wedge. All over the lid is Makeup Geek's Prism which I set with Urban Decay's Glitter Glue. On the corner of my eyes by the tear duct, I wanted extra sparkle, so I brushed on MUG's Bling as well. Along the top curve of my eye I gently used MUG's Barcelona Beach to give the look some dimension. The outer V of the eye is MUG's Mocha, but if you want a more dramatic look, you can add an extra layer of any black shadow which I did on my lower lash line as well.

Mascara: I used Maybelline's Falsies Volume Express on my top lashes and Lash Sensational on the lower lashes
Eyeliner: Kat Von D's Tattoo Liner in Jet
Face:
Primer: Elf's Poreless Face Primer. Foundation:Becca's Ever Matte Shine Proof Foundation in the color Nude.
Concealer: Under the eyes, bridge of the nose, and chin is Mac's Pro Longwear Concealer in the shade NC20. And then I set my whole face with IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores translucent pressed powder. And then on my chin, forehead, bridge of my nose, and under my eyes I went in with Mac's Studio Fix compact in the shade C3
Contour: Asthetica Cosmetics powder contour kit. They don't have names but I used the middle, darker shade on my cheek bones, sides of my forehead and along the sides of my nose. (*Side note.. This is basically the knock off version of Anastasia Beverly Hills contour kit and I LOVE it.. works just as great!)
Eyebrows: (Don't judge I had a bad eyebrow day lol) Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer in Soft Brown
Highlight: Gerard Cosmetic's Star Powder's in the color Audrey
Blush: Milani's Tantastic bronzer in the shade fantastic gold, I also used their blush in the color Luminoso
Setting Spray: Urban Decay's All Nighter
Lips:
Maybelline's matte lipstick in daringly nude with Nyx lingerie liquid lipstick in Babydoll

Aside from the numerous steps and makeup products, this is actually a pretty basic look to achieve. If I can do it, you can do it!

XOXO,
