NYX concealer in a jar!

I couldn't wait to blog about this concealer!  Honestly I'm a product junkie!  I buy products to try out to see if I like them or if they will be great for my kit. Needless to say I had been wanting a great yellow concealer.  I had this concealer in my kit for some time now.  I had never used it.  It was always one of those "just in case products".

Fridays FOTD!!

     Today I'm back with my Friday FOTD!  Today I was rushing as usual to get out the door and to work on time.  Needless to say I was still late but I thought that the look was quick not too detailed and really wasnt time consuming at all.  I basically just contoured and highlighted my entire look.  Even on my eyes I used blush, sculpting, highlihting and shaping powder.    

For foundation I used Nars Tahoe Sheer Matte in Med/Dark 2. I love this foundation!  It doesn't take much, it's buildable and it goes on seamlessly.  To apply my foundation I used my Beauty Blender. Another new love of mine. If you have not purchased a beauty blender it is definitely a  must have!  I bought them from Amazon.com.  After my first purchase and use of the Beauty Blender I placed another order for  4 more!  I ordered more to use on clients and to add to my kit. Definitely a great investment for my kit I must say!     

Here is a list of items that I used to achieve this look:

                                                                              

First I cleansed, moisturized and primed my face.

For cleanser:Mac Green cleanser

For Moisturizer: MAC studio moisture cream

For Primer: I used Milk of Magnesia(my first time using this.  I had to try it. Lol. Shhh)

For my Contour: Shadester by MAC(sculpting powder pro)

I contoured my nose, crease of my eyes and cheeks with this.

For my Highlight:Emphasize by MAC(highlighting pro powder)

I used it under my eyebrows, bridge of my nose, the top of  my cheeks and the tear duct of my eye's.

Also for the crease of my eye  and lower lash line to add some depth I used raizin blush and  Format blush by MAC. For actual blush I used coppertone blush by MAC.

For shadow on my mobile lid I used lightsweep shaping powder pro by MAC.  I also used Loreal eyeshadow primer to prime my mobile lid.

I used Loreal Volumnous Mascara for lashes

NYX eyeliner for liner on both top and bottom of my lids.

For my eyebrows I used spiked eyebrow pencil by MAC and went over top of it with Boy Girl eyebrow set by MAC just to set my brows and give them a natural look.

For Lips I used a tad bit of concealer to even out my lip color and a sheer coat of  Greek Holiday gloss  by Nars to give my lips a nice neutral look and some shine.

I wanted to do more with my look today but being I was pressed for time this is what I came up with.  It's my go to look when I'm rushing to get out the door.  This look I feel gives me detail without alot of color but comes across as neutral, clean and flawless!

NYX Natural Nude Kit Review

Hi everyone I'm back with a review and look today! Yesterday I went to Ulta and ran across NYX natural nude kit. I think that its very similar to their other pallets. One thing I like about NYX shadows are that the color pay off is great! The colors are so pigmented and glide on nice and smooth. They are also very blendable and with such a variety you can't go wrong.

When I was recording this video I was just sort of creating as I went along as I usually do but this pallet has such an array of colors that they all are easy to apply and blend with the other colors in the pallet. This pallet could very well be used when going to church, interview, school or just an everyday office look.

If you are just getting into make up this pallet would be a neccesity! Also if your having a problem finding neutral pallets as I did when looking for the Naked pallet by Urban Decay it would not neccesarily replace it but it would do just as well.
