Makeup for me has always been a love and a passion but when I first started out, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I had the pencil thin brows, the silver shadow on the lid and my lipgloss was always poppin! I really wasn't into foundations and concealers all that much until about six or seven years ago when I started trying to do makeup on other people (scary stuff). Then I was introduced to one of my all time favorite items, MAC's Studio Finish Concealer. I originally only used it for brow work but then I started to see that hyperpigmentation on my face so I used it on that and then it was over! I was completely in love. Fast forward to now and I cannot live without it. I use it underneath, and sometimes on top of, my foundations. I also use it with a little powder for those easy makeup days. Concealer is one of those products that is addictive. Once you see
those dark circles go away, that dark spot on your cheek disappear, that
lack of sleep vanish, it's over! This is a staple product in my personal makeup bag and in my kit and I highly recommend it. Now, it is a cream product and emollient so I do set it with a powder when used under the eyes.
MAC SPF 35 Studio Finish Concealer
Price: $18 USD
From the MAC site
"A
lightweight, creamy, discreetly opaque concealer. Provides a smooth,
long-wearing invisible coverage for all skin blemishes. Water-resistant,
fragrance-free and non-acnegenic. This emollient-based, lightweight
concealer is so concentrated that a tiny amount can provide opaque
coverage of the skin's imperfections and discolourations. It effectively
covers dark circles, blemishes, moles, tattoos and birthmarks. Enriched
with antioxidants (derivatives of Vitamin A and Vitamin E), it also
contains silica to help absorb the skin's oils. Concealer has broad
spectrum SPF 35 protection and is available in a wide range of colours.
It can be applied with a medium to firm fiber brush (try the 242 Shader
Brush), a latex sponge, or the fingertips."

I've been a little under the weather the past few days and haven't felt much like playing in makeup, however, today I felt a little better so I decided to play! I'm always on instagram (glamsabs) and I see the most incredible makeup artist posting pictures and I was inspired by one in particular (dressyourface) and she does the most incredible cut crease work! I absolutely love it although I'm not a big fan of the cut crease look on myself and this is only my second time doing it on myself so be nice!

If you have been following me on twitter, instagram, facebook, youtube or this blog, you know that I am completely obsessed with Pressed Pigments from MAC. I absolutely love these to add a little something extra to the looks that I do when I want to be a little lazy with the creativity! I'm not a huge glitter person anymore, but this is glitter/shimmer done right. I typically use these with a clean finger instead of a brush and press it onto the lid as I get less fallout that way but you can try it however you like it.

I'm absolutely all about this shade. Love it!
I had to rush this morning when I was doing my makeup and I threw this on over a black base. Love.
Yup another MAC order! I am a total MAC addict. I really need to stop...but I won't. In my last MAC Haul Video, I told you guys about 3 pigments that I ordered (although I thought I ordered Reflects Bronze but it's really Copper) and I promised swatches. Well the swatches are a bit late, but here they are. I also tried to record another video but it was an epic fail so we'll just pretend it never happened.

I am absolutely loving these shades. They look so gorgeous in the pots, maybe it will actually encourage me to use them instead of sticking them somewhere to never be seen again! I hate the mess that pigments can make but I love the colors. The dilemma is real.
