My Current Face Collection

As you can see, my drawer is a complete mess.  I need to reorganize them.  My foundations are in the back, powders and blushes are scattered together everywhere.  My collection is consist of drugstore products to high end products.  I like to try different products and find deals all the time.  There is always an alternative to a product if you really look and explore.  Sometimes you can find a drugstore product that work as great as a high end product.  Call me Kia, the beauty explorer :)    

Enchanting Green Prom

To achieve this beautiful look, I prepped her face with Maybelline Age Rewind face primer.  The primer is going to help smooth out her face for her foundation.  I used Neutrogena Skin clearing foundation in the shade Natural Beige 60 and set her foundation with MAC MSF in Medium Plus.  To achieve her vibrant eye look, I used BH Cosmetics 120 Eye Palette.  Of course, the look won't be complete without a flirty pair of false lash.  I contour her cheekbones with NYC Bronzer in Sunny and highlight her top cheeks with ELF Luminizer.  For her coral lip, I used NYC duo lipstick ( I forgot the name of the lipstick).

The complete look from head to toe.

Girly Pink Prom

This is a very simple look to achieve.  I primed her face with Maybelline Age Rewind face primer.  I used Lancome Tient Miracle foundation on her and set her foundation with MAC Studio Fix in NC 30.  To achieve her eye look, I used the Naked 2 palette from Urban Decay.  I apply the shade Chopper on her first half of her eyelids.  I then went in with the shade Tease and contour her lids.  I went in with Blackout to intensify her outer lids for a smokey effect and along her lower lash to balance out the look.  I finished the look off with the shade Bootycall, highlighting her brow bones and inner corner of her eyes.  Moving on to her cheeks, I contour her cheek bones with NYC Bronzer in Sunny and highlight her cheeks with Revlon Colorstay Finishing Powder in Brighten.  To complete her look, I used Revlon Lipbutter in Lollipop on her lip. 

This is the complete look from head to toe.

Purple Prom

To achieve this look, I started out by priming her face with Maybelline Age Rewind face primer.  Never skip this step because it will help your foundation apply on smoother and last longer.  Since she will be taking photos in the dark, avoid a high SPF foundation.  I used Maybelline Smooth Mousse Dream foundation in the shade 240 and set her foundation with MAC Studio Fix in NC 40.  Since her dress is purple, I used hot pink as her base color for her eyes.  I contour her lids with a dark purple shadow.  To make the eyes interesting, I lined her lower eyes with a blue liner from Urban Decay.  For a glowy face, I contour her cheek bones with Revlon Colorstay Finishing Powder in Sunkissed.  Don't skip out on highlighting the cheeks for that dewy look.  On her, I used Revlon Colorstay Finishing Powder in Brighten.  To finish off the look, I used a fuchsia pink lipstick by Lancome.

Naked Palette 2

Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette ($50).

Finally! I was able to grabbed this product. It was sold out everywhere when it first launched. These shades are more taupe and darker than the first palette (which I haven't own yet, which I might consider to purchase). There are 3 matte shades in this palette just like the first palette. This palette is awesome!  This palette does the job for me.  It is very light and convenient for me to take with me for touch ups.  Urban Decay never disappoint me with their shadows. They are highly pigmented!  I am not going to do swatches because I don't have time to do. I am pretty sure you gals had already seen the swatches from other beauty gurus so I am not going to swatch these shadows. What do you think of this palette? Naked or Naked 2?

Lancome Idole Ultra 24 Hr Wear Foundation

This is one of my new favorite gig from Lancome.  I wear the shade in 230 Buff (W).  This foundation cost $44 and you can find this on their website or at any department store.  I suggest you go to a Lancome counter and get a sample first because not all foundation is for everyone.  I like this foundation and you might not.  The packaging on this new foundation is lighter than the Teint Miracle foundation that I also owned.  This packaging is more on the plastic side compare to the Teint Miracle foundation which is glass.  I love Lancome's packaging as always. 

Since this foundation is a prolong wear, I might not recommend this foundation for those who have dry skin because it will bring out your dry areas.  This foundation is perfect for normal and oily skin.  I love this foundation because it is long wearing.  I didn't have to retouch my makeup.  The texture is velvety and easy to blend.  This is my new favorite foundation for the summer!
