Face full of ELF


Here we have what I've dubbed a face full of ELF.  That's because I used my ELF compact as a base and my ELF complexion perfection to try to neutralize my under eye circles and redness.  Judging by this picture, it worked :D

It's not often that I use full coverage makeup.  Not because my skin is so amazing, but it's just so hot and humid here than as soon as you step outside, it's like you're stepping into a sauna and your makeup has a tendency to just slide off your face.

Humidity aside, I also used a bunch of other awesome products.  A blush from a sephora super pallet (will get a pic of that eventually), Nyx sparkle diamond lipstick in Nude, with a layer of Neutrogena lipgloss over that in some pink shade (the name got rubbed off, alas).  My eyeshadow is one of the nudey-brown shades that I like to call my default - I've got a phobia of wearing makeup too dark/colorful for just going to class so I tend to stick to just this kind of face.  Nude-colored lips, light shadows on the eyes, light blush.

The one thing I like to lay on strong on a regular basis is eyebrows - strong, well shaped eyebrows can completely transform a face, and I like it that way.  Much easier to maintain than powdering and re-powdering your nose.

That's all for now, thanks for reading :D
