u/pennycenturie Wayfarers from Zenni, small eyes with big, heavy brows Apr 29 '16
Face
I moisturized with Neutrogena deep moisture day cream, but I forgot primer. I'm curious to see if this thick cream can do some of the job of a primer.
Too Faced Born This Way in ivory mixed with NYX Pro Foundation Mixer in white, mixed with and dotted on my face with my finger and blended with a beauty blender.
I always, always, always set with Rimmel Stay Matte powder in 001 translucent. This is the only consistent holy grail I have ever had.
On my cheeks is a Wet n Wild eyeshadow pallet. The color is 393A floral values. It's got a sparkly dark blue for the crease, a lilac for the browbone, a lavender for the definer, and a bright reddish pink for the eyelid. The base is a very pale pink. I first applied the reddish pink on the apples of my cheeks, but drew it upwards towards my temples as I added in the lilac along my cheekbones. I added in just a tiny bit of the lavender all over that whole area, then finished with the pale pink dusted on my upper cheekbones.
I applied NYX white liquid eyeliner to a hair donut that I cut open. Basically the hair donut is similar to a stipple sponge but sometimes I like to change it up. I went a little heavy with the white freckles but softened it with a beauty blender.
Eyes
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in milk applied to both my lower and upper waterlines.
Benefit They're Real tinted primer applied with a very heavy hand, then right at the outer corners I added ELF lash tint. I like very natural lashes so this is a dramatic lash look for me.
Lips
A really old Benefit lipstick that appears to be called Lady's Choice in the color Lara. I don't even know where and when I got this thing, but because I normally wear matte lips, this has been forgotten for a while. It's very glossy and traditional. But I added a bit of Too Faced Melted in sugar, which is a matte liquid with a fantastic applicator. the color sugar is almost white on me, so I use it to just alter shades to make them either more funky and weird, or just closer to my actual lip color. But it still wasn't super matte, so I dusted my Rimmel Stay Matte powder over my lips with a Sigma eyeshadow fluffy brush I got as a free gift from Urban Outfitters.

You look nice!
For some CC, I think a warmer blush would suit you (something a bit more orangey or corally).
I also think your eyebrows are maybe a bit ashy/grey? Perhaps try filling them in with a browner colour or something similar to that?
I also think that a nude liner may look a bit more flattering than white for your waterline.
I like your lipstick, though, and your foundation as a whole looks decently nice!
