 Your skin looks gorgeous! What do you use to get that finish?

 
I have combi-dry skin so usually i will use a liquid foundation (My favs are YSL le teint touch eclat foundation, YSL serum foundation or MAC face and body foundation) , I use MAC studio careblend on T-zone to set the liquid foundation and skip the rest of the face as if i use too much powder on my face it can get a bit too powdered n dry. My base is just MAC lightful marine bright moisture creme before the foundations for extra hydration. And a bit of highlight powder like MAC belightful irridiscent powder on the cheekbones to give a glowy finish

 
Alright, I think I'm finally brave enough to do this!

My Mom and sister and I had MAC makeovers last night, and I snapped some Before and After shots, so here is mine:

(Keep in mind, this is a new look for me, I don't normally go that dark on the eye makeup. I really like it though!)



BEFORE



AFTER (but we didn't fill in my brows, which would have totally changed the look, I think!

And here's 2 more AFTERs that I did myself, plus filled in brows:



AFTER (did myself, this is my actual photo ID that I had to take for work, hahah I was pleasantly surprised with how it came out!)



AFTER (did myself, though not a great selfie, hahah!) I forgot to put on lipstick.

As you may see, I try to do little browny-taupey triangles a bit above my outer V, because I have slightly hooded eyes, and this really helps!

Hope you like it! Let me know which one you like the best!!!

Hey girl, you  need to change your username from 'uglystick' to 'lovelystick'! You look great and your skin and lips look really good without makeup!

My first thought: Wow, she is really good at eyeshadow application. That looks amazing! Honestly, you're really, really pretty both before and after! What color lipstick is that? I like it! Although I'm not sure I could pull it off on my light skin.

 
Hi Ladies, You all look gorgeous. This is so much fun, I'll load my pics this weekend. Right now I need to get back to work. Laters

Aww thank you :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I actually think this was when I just has Stila Lip Glaze on in Sangria! 

 
Wow girls, you all look lovely without makeup as well.

I'm starting to think I got too good with makeup, as I look so bloody different

I think the same thing. I'm always nervous the first time a new bf sees me without makeup, because I think I look like a different person! But I blame the fact that I'm just really damn good at it...haha :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I blame many things... but the main ones are:

-I've got quite normal round eyes and wear a cat eye 90% of the times, that definitely changes my appearence (love winged eyeliners and any eye makeup that will make my eyes look longer).

-I've got a lot of discolouration around the eye and dark circles, with my concealer I do wonders to cover that.

-And last but not least I am sooooo paaaleeee without makeup!!! I don't know if any of you has this feeling, but I somewhat think that my natural skintone doesn't suit me! I just look 1000 times better if my complexion is slightly darker or with a healthier aspect, but can't be bothered to go to sunbeds, so unless it's summer I work my bronzers and powders.

 
@SaraP Random, but what foundation do you use? I've been hunting desperately for a new one and keep running into a bunch that keep oxidizing pink on me. I'm a bit lighter than you, but from your pictures it looks like we might have similar undertones.

How funny, this was my first time using this one =) It's mac full coverage in C40.
