The tag was very interesting and I’m really glad that she tagged me. I was so excited to do this because I find it to be so interesting and also, I’m inspired by Eyah’s creativity in her tag/entry. Therefore, since I am such a Photoshop addict, I thought I’d add some spice in this tag as well.

If I have to pick one, then I’d pick a blush instead. Though I really want to contour my ‘Oh-so-chubby-cheeks’ I still don’t want to look like an oompa loompa without a blush, so I’d go with a blush instead.
On that note, I have a perfect stand-alone blush for that, and that’s the Tarte Amazonian 12-Hour Clay Blush in ‘Exposed’. It works great as both a contour because the shade is very versatile. (Check out my review of the said blush here). |

| Easy. Lipstick. I’m not much of a lip gloss person, in fact I don’t have a lot of them in my collection. I don’t like the ‘sticky/tacky’ feeling that it gives my lips. I know that that’s the nature of lip glosses but I just don’t like it.
At the right you will see my current lip products (supposed to include lipsticks only but I accidentally placed the L’oreal Caresse Shine lip stains so, my bad :P |

LIP BUTTERS! Duh! Kidding. But seriously, lip butters. But if I’m in dire need of lip moisturizing (because my lips can be so dry due to my braces). I love lip butters because not only do they moisturize my lips but they provide a decent tint/shade. Kinda like MLBB.
Those at the left are my fave lip butters. I’m really addicted to them and they give my lipstick a subtle color/shine. |

| Uhh, yeah, this time, I’m gonna have to say BOTH. I think too much matte eyeshadows will make your eye look too flat, and having too much shimmery/frosty/sparkle shades on your eye look will make it look like it lacks dimension. I believe that you should always have a good dark/medium shade of matte shade to contour your crease. Also, I believe that every eyeshadow palette/quad should hve a good balance of matte & frosty shades.
Just like my fave right there –> |

FOUNDATION. Well, sometimes, BB Cream. I forgot to include my BB cream here. Haha. But yea, I prefer Foundation/BB cream rather than a concealer. I’m just not used to using concealer all by itself. I know some people do that, but that’s just not me. |
|
|
|
| I’m gonna have to say Pencil, particularly Brown Pencil Eyeliner. With the use of this particular eyeliner, I can contour my nose, eyelids, fix my brows, tight line my eyes and do some cheek contouring if I feel like it as well.
I like this eyeliner pencil because it’s really creamy yet it doesn’t smudge and it lasts long. :) |

I am all for loose powders, especially now since I’m really going crazy about my Snoe Cosmetics Poudre Extraordinaire. However, it’s not really that convenient when you want to bring it with you. So just for the sake of this tag, I’ll go with pressed powders |

| I don’t have a ton of highlighters and all of my highlighters are in powder form. So I guess that leaves me no choice.

Of course, I can use my trusty fingers in blending foundations, concealer, everything. However, brushes are still very helpful. You can improve your whole makeup look just as long as you use the appropriate makeup brushes.
Currently, my favorite brushes are the ELF Small Stippling brush, Small Tapered Brush and the Ellana Minerals Flat Top Kabuki Brush. |

| Personally, I prefer waterproof makeup because they provide a longer staying power, and you know guys that I’m all for the longevity of the product. Those are some of the things that I consider when I’m buying my makeup.
The photo at the right shows some of my favorite waterproof makeup. Of course it includes not one but two mascaras, an eyeliner (which is very stubborn to remove!) and my favorite BB Cream! |

| Well, not really. But let’s just say that if I were to travel and I wasn’t allowed to bring lots of makeup, then these items would probably be in my bag.
Snoe Cosmetis Poudre Extraordinaire in ‘Perfect Beige (Medium)’ Skin Food Gold Caviar Toner/Moisturizer Tarte Amazonial 12-Hour Clay Blush in ‘Exposed’ Covergirl Perfectblend Eyeliner in ‘Black Brown’ KJI & CO Lip Stayss Lip Butter Essence in ‘Seductress’ And probably a concealer too, although I forgot to include it there, sorry… I love how this BB cream makes my skin look more ‘awake’ especially when matched with the Garnier Light BB Instant Fairness Roll On (which was supposed to be there, btw). Then I just set it with my Snoe Poudre Extraordinaire, contour with my brown eyeliner, a hint of blush, and lastly, applly a lip product, then I’m all set. And since I’m having a problem with my extremely dry skin, I need to moisturize often, and currently, I’m loving my SkinFood Gold Caviar Emulsion as my daily moisturizing treatment. |
