1/9/08 - MAD - I Foiled My Illusion

I tried a few new things this morning, and I think at least two of them were successful.

I used some Green corrector in addition to my regular concealer to try and get rid of the redness on my cheeks which always seems to show through. It helped a little, I think.

I also tried something different with my blush. I didn't concentrate it on the apples of my cheeks like I have been doing. I think it looks better like this, do y'all?

Foiling e/s is NOT for me!! I tried it with Illusion on my lid, and I just don't see where it makes a big enough difference to warrant the extra step. (Here is a pic of when I used it dry once: http://entipy.smugmug.com/photos/194934740-M.jpg) Plus, after I've blended my crease color, outer v color, etc., I usually end up going back and adding more lid color just in case some got swiped away. Adding dry powder on top of foiled doesn't really work too bueno.

So, that's it!

This does it. I'm going to start making my own lippies using MAD colors! I love the versatility of being able to use those loose powders for that, but the portability of it sucks. So, today, I'm taking my l/l and my ELF Pink Lemonade with me for touch-ups.

I'm glad you can see the difference in my blush. Now, if I can just keep that redness on my cheeks nice and covered up, I should be alright! LOL

Carly - Thank you! I hadn't planned on winging my liner this morning, but my hand and the brush decided to just go ahead and pull it out a tiny bit. I've definitely improved since I first began trying, huh?

The black is where I usually concentrate my blush. The red is where I applied it today, instead.
