>>What's your makeup routine?
Wash face with Mary Kay cleanser, let face dry. Combo of Aqua BB cream and MK moisturizer on face and neck. Urban Decay Naked skin concealer on eyes and nose (sparingly), Maybelline powder to set. NARS eyeshadow for Brows, quick cat eyeliner with Sephora high Def liquid liner, MK mascara, light blush from Mac, and then chapstick. My favourite right now is Tokyo Milo's Dark! Sometimes I wear perfume, either Flower Bomb or Zen pure mist.
>>Holy grail products?
Maybelline's Fit Me line. I've used it ever since it came out, and it's wonderful. Great coverage, not clumpy, and long lasting. I am only using their powder atm, but their concealer is fantastic too. AND CHEAP!
>>Any weird tricks you use?
If you really need a look that's going to stay on all day, through sweat, rain, or a Waterpark, go to your local costume store. Usually they will carry synchro makeup, and that shit does not come off. I used to use Synchro eyeliner all the time, however I found that a couple of people who used it had their eyes irritated easily. So caution.
>>Things you wish you knew before, but know now?
How to properly tackle pimples. At least for me anyways, not I get them few and far between, however when I was younger, I had a wicked T zone. I found what worked was a natural gentle exfoliating wash, clinique toner, and clinique's spot gel. It's amazing.
