• lower lash line: urban decay 24/7 eyeliner in stray dog (discontinued, but mushroom is pretty close; see swatches at end of post)
• upper liquid liner: revlon colorstay liquid eye pen in blackest black
• i don't typically wing it out on school/work days because i'm usually in a rush! >.<
• i usually stamp and drag the pen along my lash line, like holding the pen nearly parallel with my face so the length of the pen tip can drag across my eye.
• be careful not to get it wet after it dries, it will remoisten and transfer to your lids before you realize it!
• loreal telescopic shocking extensions mascara in blackest black
• i generally apply a thin coat to the top side of my lashes, then apply a thick coat in a wiggling motion while turning the wand, dip and go to the next eye. repeat. dip, apply a second thin coat to the first eye, then the second. occasionally: use the remainder on the wand for lower lashes. i don't always apply mascara to my lower lashes.
• brushes: sigma E25 & E55, MUA E3, spoolie (if needed)
• face
• too faced primed and poreless (original/nude)
• revlon colorstay OR photoready concealer in light
• to set concealer: apply powder in a stippling motion, swiping your brush will move the concealer around.
• i usually use the sigma P86 (or F86) to blend in the concealer, or you can use your fingers.
• sephora mineral loose powder foundation in light (discontinued, i got it a few years ago and finally opened it)
• be a bombshell blush in sweet cheeks
• tip: if you apply too much blush, blend it away with your powder brush!

• brushes: sigma P86 [or F86 (not pictured)], real techniques powder brush, MUA F6
• lips
• eos lip balm in vanilla (apply before makeup application)
• benefit posie tint (1-2 coats)
• after it stains/develops, if you missed anywhere, apply a second coat.
• it generally lasts 3-4 hours or so, but i don't always have time to reapply it. also, i apply a clear lip balm over the course of the day just to keep my lips moisturized.
• optional: invisible lip liner to keep it from bleeding -- i don't have one and again, i'm usually in a rush in the mornings.
