Easter Makeup

I had a lovely Easter meal with friends over the holiday weekend and got a few compliments on the makeup I wore that day :) 

It was really simple to do, and with the addition of the half lash, becomes just a little glam...

Here's what I used:

1. M.A.C. Painterly Paint Pot all over lid, up to the brow
2. Urban Decay's "Naked Basics" Palette - "Naked 2" all over lid and into the crease, blended out with "WOS" (also used as a brow highlight)
3. L'Oreal Infallible Black gel liner on the upper lash line, winged out
4. M.A.C.'s "Smoulder" Liner on waterline & tightline
5. L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black mascara on upper lashes
6. Ardell's Demi Pixie Lashes - I cut mine in half and applied to the outer corner of my eye.  I LOVE these lashes, I usually get about 5 or 6 wears out of each pair and then cut them up for different looks.
7.  Maybelline’s Define-a-Brow in “Light/Blonde” to fill in sparse areas on the tail end of my brows
8.  Bare Mineral's Original loose powder Foundation in “Medium” buffed all over – I recently rediscovered this in my drawer, I had used it religiously a few years back and repurchased it a few months ago but not used it much and I didn’t know why! I realized how great it is for warmer weather days.  It feels light and breathable on your skin but still provides great coverage!
9. Hard Candy’s Glamoflauge Concealer in “Medium” – I use this under my eyes to cover my dark circles (which, for me, is quite the mission as mine are more like craters, ugh!)
10.   E.L.F.’s Studio HD Translucent Setting Powder to set everything
11.  NYC’s “Sunny” Bronzer dusted lightly on cheeks as a blush and bronzer – On days where I do heavier eye looks, I prefer to keep my face makeup pretty neutral
12. M.A.C.’s Mineralized Skin Finish in “Soft & Gentle” on the tops of my cheekbones
13. And for lips - Burts Bees “Refreshing” Chapstick – smells like grapefruit, one of my favorite scents! I opted for a lip balm instead of a lipstick so I wouldn’t have to reapply or do too many touch ups after eating all the yummy Easter food!
14. I finished up the look with a couple spritzes of M.A.C.'s Fix+ Spray to lock my face in place. And just so you know - this photo was taken AFTER we got home after a whole afternoon outside in the sunshine, it all held up quite well, right? :)
    
    Well there ya go! FYI – I had tried to post this last week and somehow it didn't save everything and it never published! Boo! (I’m still getting the hang of this blogging thing. And as many of you can imagine, just like losing an essay or homework piece, I didn't have the energy to rewrite it all that day! Lol) 
    
    I used many of the products I featured in my March Favorites Post – so check that out for a more detailed description. Aaannd - if anyone is curious about these products’ pricing or where I purchased mine, let me know and I will share!
