Too Faced

I’ve always struggle with oily face, mainly around the t-zone. I’ve tried many, many different primera and foundations and my face was oily within 2 hours of applying my make up. I’ve tried the Too Faced line and wow! I mix the primer with three drops of The Ordinary Niacinamide first, I dump my Real Technique blender and I apply the foundation. Lastly, I apply the setting powder with the same dumped blender. This make up line helps my face stay hydrated without getting oily. Too Faced - Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation REAL TECHNIQUES - Miracle Complexion Sponge Too Faced - Hangover Primer The Ordinary - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Too Faced - Peach Perfect Setting Powder ***bonus - I subscribed to the Too Faced email list and I get discounts promotions often. So I buy my products with them at discounted price instead of paying full time at Ulta or Sephora 😉

I don’t usually do my makeup, but when I do there are some products I never go without. I love a dewy, sun kissed finish, so I always start with a hydrating primer and end with a creamy blush. Here are some of my favorite products to get my favorite makeup looks! Too Faced - Hangover Primer has been my go-to primer for a couple years now. I love how smooth it makes my skin look and it always seems to downplay any dryness I might have. Even if I’ve been slacking on skincare, this stuff makes my skin and makeup look awesome! benefit - Boi-ing Cakeless Concealer is for sure my favorite concealer, hands down. I’ve tried a few others recently, trying lighter colors for under my eyes, and everything else cakes and rubs off so easily, so I just end up going back to my tried and true. I love her and will repurchase until the end of time. A more recent development has been my love of cream blushes. I’ve started buying them whenever I can get my hands on them and so far some of my faves are WANDER BEAUTY - Double Date Lip and Cheek Tint , BEAUTANIQ BEAUTY - Butter Lip & Cheek Balm , and Milk MAKEUP - Lip + Cheek . The ones I have are a nice range of colors from orangey to pink to rose. I like to put a little on the bridge of my nose to make it look like I spent a little too long in the sun the day before. I usually put a cream blush on the apples of my cheeks and my nose and blend it out with a similar powder blush toward my hairline and around my forehead. And that’s my usual makeup look! I usually go pretty lowkey with the eyes, just some highlighter in the inner corner and maybe some mascara. Stay tuned for photo evidence the next time I put makeup on! <3

bh - Take Me Back to Brazil 35 Color Pressed Pigment Palette wet n wild - ProLine Felt Tip Eyeliner Too Faced - Better Than Sex Mascara

CLINIQUE - Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes in Ample Amber. The color didn’t build well. Thinking of trying the purple because there is no such thing as a purple eyeshadow I won’t try, but this is a little too neutral for me. WANDER BEAUTY - Unlashed Volume & Curl Mascara I think this product might be called ‘unlashed’ because it makes your lashes disappear. I understand no makeup makeup but I don’t understand ‘no makeup makeup’ mascara. It’s undemocratic. What was Allure thinking? bareMinerals - Complexion Rescue Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 in Opal. It is not the kind of coverage I need right now with the breakouts from the PEACH & LILY - Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser which has broken me out so badly. It is also too...shiny and summery. I am buying UOMA BEAUTY - Say What?! Foundation this weekend because it is better coverage. tarte - Shape Tape Concealer in 16N. Really great coverage but the texture clashes with the BareMinerals. Hoping tarte + UOMA is a better match. The color match is great though. OFRA - OFRA Highlighter I have become disillusioned with Rodeo Drive. I don’t know if it is old and needs to be replaced or I need to use a different highlighter under bronzer. Too Faced - Chocolate Matte Soleil Bronzer in Milk Chocolate. I need to figure out a better brush for this bronzer. Suggestions welcome. Has an initial faint chocolate scent that dissipates quickly. Lasts but does, eventually settle into pores. Another reason to switch to foundation. FENTY BEAUTY - Glossy Posse Mini Gloss Bomb Set in Ruby Milk. Great color in the tube but not intense enough for me when wearing. Very comfortable to wear, subtle scent that dissipates quickly. Easy to apply. If you like a more neutral lip, this would be a good holiday present for you or a friend. Title from Lauryn Hill. Hope you like the post on creating a 15 makeup look! What products do you do use when you are in a hurry?

I used to hate my brown eyes! I felt they were boring and ugly, but once I learned to love them I started experimenting with different eye makeup to really make them pop! here I show one of my favorite looks, it’s super quick but looks like it took forever! a few tips before attempting this, or any look: 1. blend, blend, blend. even the most novice of makeup users can master eyeshadow if you remember to blend! 2. little by little. it’s better to add your colors little by little. you can always add more pigment if needed, but it’s hard to remove it without ruining the whole look if you apply too much. Too Faced - Chocolate Matte Soleil Bronzer I actually start this look (and most eye shadow looks) with applying a bronzer as a “base”. MAC - MAC Eyeshadow next I apply my bronze, glitter shade with my ring finger. I simply tap it into the center of my eyelid, careful to not transfer the color too high. RIMMEL - Exaggerate Smoke N' Shine Eye Liner I love these eyeliners and have found a brown shade really makes dark eyes look soft & sultry. I use this to draw a rough winged liner, then take the sponge on the other end to blend it out. LANCÔME - Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara fave mascara, this maintains my lashes lifted and curled all day. the perfect last step! that’s it! literally takes hardly any time at all to really transform my eyes. hope this helps a fellow brown-eyed girl 🤎 #cheriepartner

Too Faced - Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eyeshadow Primer I fell asleep after taking these pictures and woke up with my eyeshadow perfectly intact! LORAC - PRO Palette Noir The shades are buttery soft, intensely pigmented and blend beautifully. Luxury quality at half the price. I can’t rec this palette enough. I even used a deeper blue color, which I have never ever done before and it turned out well. WANDER BEAUTY - Mile High Club Volume and Length Mascara Only Pat McGrath does it better. UOMA BEAUTY - Say What?! Foundation in T1N. I gave myself a little more coverage today. It has a faint smell when first applied but sets beautifully and covers like a dream. I don’t even think you need a luminizer underneath. OFRA - #OFRAglow Signature Highlighting Palette I used Bali on my cheekbones and topped it with a bit of Star Island. Star Island is fine. Bali is gorgeous, creamy and easy to work with. It is worth the (sale) price of this palette all on its own. URBAN DECAY - Original All Nighter Setting Spray Ornament A nice product that set my makeup well without mattefying my foundation or highlighter and did not have a scent. PAT McGRATH LABS - Mattetrance Lipstick Celestial Divinity Collection in Amour. First of all this looks nothing like the website picture. Second it pulls a little warm on me. Third her matte lipsticks always scare me because they look so matte in the tube. However, I loved this color both in pictures and IRL and it is nowhere near as matte as it appears in the tube. It has a nice creaminess to it that made it so comfortable to wear. A fun birthday treat for myself. I am looking for a champagne eyeliner (vegan) to line my waterline with. Any recommendations? Thank you!!

Too Faced - Shadow Insurance Anti-Crease Eyeshadow Primer This is the best primer out there regardless of what the marketing and awards say. WANDER BEAUTY - Mile High Club Volume and Length Mascara I had my eyes dilated and my mascara did not smudge or run from all the drops. I was impressed. It has a tendency to get a little crunchy as the day goes on but that could be because I apply 3 coats. LORAC - PRO Palette Noir I have always been a fan of these shadows and thought they were underrated. Noir is their new formulation and when I dipped my brush into the pan I was shocked. These shadows are creamy, intensely pigmented, apply like a dream and don’t kick up eyeshadow dust. Run, do not walk and get this palette. These shadows are comparable to luxury shadows. Lots of neutrals but fun neutrals. I can’t wait to spend more time with this palette. I only used one shade for this look because I was trying to keep things simple. DIOR - BACKSTAGE Glow Face Palette in Rose Gold. They give a lovely subtle glow to the cheeks. They are very soft so be careful with them. Mine arrived with one of the colors broken in half. The beauty of it, and also the eyeshadow, did not show up in my pictures. Sometimes lighting just isn’t on your side. I have wanted this highlighter palette for awhile and I am glad I own it. If I could do it again, I would pass on it though given the cost. UOMA BEAUTY - Say What?! Foundation in T1N. I love shaking this foundation before application. Does anyone else enjoy that? Two pumps covers my whole face. It has a medium consistency and I apply by hand. I have stopped using the shape tape because I didn’t like the texture. This foundation provides enough coverage right now and does an excellent job of evening out my complexion. It also sets without powder or spray which is nice on asthma days. OFRA - OFRA Lip Gloss in Love. Mixing in another texture and brightening up my face with this nice pink coral lip gloss. It is only a little sticky and feels great on. It has a nice slip. So that is what would be my 10 minute makeup look except as a disabled person everything takes me twice as long. Do you have a palette you are looking forward to buying? Also, again, the lighting is off for the pictures. Sorry!!!

I love my BB cream, but wearing it alone can start to look oily through the day. Plus, under eye foundation can start to crepe. Here’s the products I use to supplement it for a flawless base~ with a focus on my favorite powder & spray! 🌟 BASE 🌟 I’ve used the PHYSICIANS FORMULA - Super BB All-In-1 Beauty Balm Cream SPF 30for over a year. It’s a great BB that evens your skin tone, and looks natural. It’s also non-comedogenic, and has moisturizers like Shea butter. Only problem is it can look oily if I spend the day with no powder. 🌟 CONCEALER 🌟 I use the Too Faced - Born This Way Naturally Radiant Concealerwhich was sadly discontinued. :( But it’s not matte, nor too heavy for the under eyes. I’ve used the L'ORÉAL - True Match Super Blendable Concealer& bareMinerals - BARESKIN Complete Coverage Serum Concealer, which were both comparable. ⭐️ POWDER ⭐️ In LOVE with the Beauty Bakerie - Flour Setting Powder in Oat (Translucent). It comes in the CUTEST bakery bag packaging when you get it, and it’s a loose powder. It has never felt too cakey, heavy, or overly mattifying. It has a blurring effect on my face. In the 2nd photo, it also seemed to brighten up my skin. My skin is sensitive, but it’s never irritated it- its gentle enough to even set under eye concealer. Beauty Bakerie powders have a large shade range, so deep & olive toned peeps don’t have to worry about a white cast. I’ve bought it 2x with my own money by now. It’s vegan, silicone + paraben-free, and flashback free. After trying other powders, I think this is my holy grail. ⭐️ SPRAY ⭐️ Let’s say you DO actually put too much powder on. A setting spray that makes you glow can help. I really enjoy the COLOURPOP - Pretty Fresh Hydrating Setting Spray It’s affordable at $12, and comes with hyaluronic acid and 🥥 coconut water to moisturize your skin. It smells like fresh coconut with every spritz. With this spray over the powder, my skin looked glowing- but not overly oily. It also helps my eyeshadow melt into my skin, and just... brings the whole look together. Colourpop’s forte has always been eyeshadow imo, but I feel like they’re killing it in the base department now, too. I’ve used a lot of other base products before. I tried the Maybelline concealer, the L’Oreal True Match Foundation, the Urban Decay Naked skin powder and TonyMoly setting sprays. Some were too matte or broke me out, or just did nothing. I will def think of repurchasing these products when I run out (unless I want to try something new !) ✨ TLDR ✨ Use these products for natural looking, glowy (not oily) skin. Suitable for sensitive skin, and the powder has a large shade range.

It’s the battle against the concealers. I have four contenders to share with you today. I rounded up my top concealers to share with you what I love and don’t love about them. Below are the top four concealers that I keep in my makeup arsenal. Next to each concealer, I’ll add in which color I personally use.  My Skin Type: I have combination skin (dry cheeks & oily T-zone). My skin tone is light with yellow/neutral undertones. 1. Clinique Beyond Perfecting Super Concealer (Very Fair 06) This is a 24-hour concealer that I love to hide my undereye bags with. I love that it’s 100% fragrance-free, and it has more of a liquid consistency compared to other traditional doe-foot applicator concealers.  2. Maybelle Fit Me Concealer (20 Sand) Not only is this the cheapest option on the list - it’s my personal FAVORITE. I can’t say enough good things about this bad boy! It’s full-coverage, non-drying, a perfect shade match, and it’s under $6. I can use it under my eyes, around my nose, and to cover up any pesky pimples that may come up.  3. Too Faced Born This Way Concealer (Light Nude) This is a super full coverage concealer, but I feel like it’s a bit drying on my skin. I think this may be best for someone with more oily skin than I have. I notice I get a little dry under my eyes if I don’t use a heavy-duty moisturizer underneath when I apply this concealer. While it’s a nice formula, and I know this one is loved by SO many, I don’t really see the hype.  4. Tarte Shape Tape Concealer (Light Sand) This is another one of those concealers that people rave about - and this one I totally get! This stuff is wonderful. It glides over my skin and gives excellent coverage. I do wish I had maybe gone one shade darker, though. My current shade works well in winter, but it’s a bit too light for my tanned skin in the summer. 

I found the Too Face Damn Girl mascara to be ok but nothing to get excited about. I feel like I have average lashes with them as far as volume goes but I didn’t see much lengthening. However, it does seem to hold a curl better than mascaras with runny consistencies. It’s a drier formula so while it doesn’t run all over your face it still is messy which brings me to the main issue. Why is this brush so big?!? The formula itself wouldn’t be messy if it was applied with a smaller mascara wand. When I apply it is all over my lids and bottom lash line which exacerbated the dark circles if you don’t clean it up. This mascara requires a q-tip clean up every single time. This isn’t as big of deal when just wearing mascara and bare lids but it messes up my eyeshadow and liner so I have to redo it (yes I’ve tried applying mascara first and I get too much fallout on the lashes from eye shadow where it looks worse than cleaning up afterward). While I didn’t pay for this because it’s an add on trial size with a Sephora order, I’m rating it as if I did because I feel the formula is similar to lash paradise but the brush is too big which causes all the issues. Too Faced - Damn Girl! 24-Hour Mascara

So excited to try and I’m in love!!!❤️CeraVe - Foaming Facial Cleanser For Normal To Oily Skin I love the cleanser leaves skin fresh and clean. CeraVe - Ultra-Light Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 For Normal To Oily Skin moisturizer a bit thick. But you get a great result and soaks in you skin nice. Leaving skin hydrated with protection from the sun. benefit - Goof Proof Brow Deal benefit - Goof Proof Brow Deal Too Faced - Damn Girl! 24-Hour Mascara essence - Pure Nude Highlighter First time using it. I absolutely love it and the cost. Beautiful pigment and stays on long.Too Faced - Born This Way Natural Finish Foundation Too Faced - Cocoa Contour Contouring Palette BIOTHERM - LIFE PLANKTON™ ESSENCE just got this treatment and my skin is feeling and looking more youthful and glowing. I have acne prone skin and this did not irritate or break me out.😁LANCÔME - Juicy Tubes Original Lip Gloss this was great gloss. Goes on thick. But let me tell you it lasts. I mean even wearing a face mask on and off all the time! This is a keeper. It was on for a few hours and I didn’t reapply and you can still see some shine. Impressive.

Since Halloween is coming I’m starting to try more fun makeup. I tried to do a cat like look, but not quite the stereotypical menacing black cat. Palette used was the too faced just peachy Colors: peach tea, just peachy and peach punch around the eyes peach punch blush fresh-picked contour peach meringue for color corrections I highly recommend this palette, it’s my only nude set but I don’t need anything else. I prefer brighter colors over more dimmed down charcoals and browns. It’s definitely pricy, but I don’t regret buying it. I’m generally against palettes as I’m afraid to buy a set and only use half or some of the colors, but I’ve dipped my brush into each color here. Next I’m looking for neons I can buy separately.

Honestly didn’t like the way my makeup was going yesterday so I messed around and ended up doing clown makeup. I ended up liking that one enough to post☺️ Products used are tagged👆

I’ve always struggle with oily face, mainly around the t-zone. I’ve tried many, many different primera and foundations and my face was oily within 2 hours of applying my make up. I’ve tried the Too Faced line and wow! I mix the primer with three drops of The Ordinary Niacinamide first, I dump my Real Technique blender and I apply the foundation. Lastly, I apply the setting powder with the same dumped blender. This make up line helps my face stay hydrated without getting oily. Too Faced - Peach Perfect Comfort Matte Foundation REAL TECHNIQUES - Miracle Complexion Sponge Too Faced - Hangover Primer The Ordinary - Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Too Faced - Peach Perfect Setting Powder ***bonus - I subscribed to the Too Faced email list and I get discounts promotions often. So I buy my products with them at discounted price instead of paying full time at Ulta or Sephora 😉

Although these products are on the pricer side, I really recommend the Peach perfect comfort matte foundation by too faced, and the becca champagne pop highlighter. I’ve used them for years and I found that I’ve never had an issue with them, even when I broke out and my skin texture changed. They have a great range of tones for the peach perfect foundation and I have found the perfect match. It’s a very comfortable wear and doesn’t cake or become too oily. As for the highlighter, it’s definitely a more universal tone, however mine has broken twice in my makeup bag!!
