Step 1: My face had already been primed using the MUD face primer, I also filled in my brows
Step 2: I applied Mac’s Mineralize Skin Finish powder on my eyelid to serve as an eye shadow.
Step 3: I lined my eyelid using the Nyx Gel Liner in Jet
Step 4: I applied mascara to my natural lashes (not every time false lashes)
Step 5: I lined my waterline with black eyeliner
Step 6: I know I said simple everyday look but I am sorry I had to highlight my face (so feel free to skip this step).
Step 7: I applied foundation all over my face and blended out the highlight.
Step 8: I used Ben Nye Banana Powder to set the areas that I highlighted earlier.
Step 9: I applied powder all over my face.

Step 12: I applied Nyx matte lip-gloss over the liner *smack smack*

Whch of mac’s concealers do u use? N wts d routine for those with little black spots?
Hi Funmi, I use the Pro concealer and corrector palette( medium NC35). The mid-peach color is perfect for counteracting dark areas under the eyes, covering dark marks/spots.
This look is amazing. I love everything about it
Please do I have to apply a moisturizer b4 applying a primer? Or can I use a primer without moisturizing.
Yes, I apply moisturizer first before primer. Usually I apply my moisturizer, wait for about 5 minutes for it to absorb then I apply primer.
Thanks darling
I guessed as much that it was you I saw at casabella some weeks ago. Love this look, please do a post on brushes and pocket friendly products for everyday use.
Im at work but I can’t stop going through your posts! You are really good at what you do. Beautiful!
Lol, thank you.
Very beautiful. Been going through all your posts. Amazing
Thank you @beautygeekng
I love this look. Can someone with oil issues substitute milk of magnesia for primer? I used to use “mattify” as a base for my foundation and it worked well till I got better results with MOM and thought I should get one myself.
I also would love a post on basic brushes. I’m always skeptical about eyeshadow ‘cos I feel it doesn’t look good on me and it over-emphasises my cat eyes but I like what you used here to substitute for eye shadow, it’s light.
Hi thank you. Yes Milk of Magnesia can be used as a primer and it works like magic. I will do a post on basic brushes soon.
