Current look right now--trying to change it up a bit so I started doing the winged eye look. This was my first time so I'm going to keep on trying until it's PERFECT

I used some a cheap Drug Store eyeliner, can't remember which. Didn't like it though. It kept smudging and fading. Going to take a trip to CCS to see if they have Fluidline Blacktrack.

Currently:
Foundation: Studio Sculpt SPF15 NC44
Concealer: NW35
Blush: MAC raizin (it's way too dark for me; MAC Eversun (my favorite blush & wearing in picture).
Mascara: Maybelline Colossal.
Eyebrows: some cheap brown eyeshadow
Lipstick: Nyx B52, MAC Creme Cerise (discontinued...)

Nyx B52 is close to perfect, but not perfect enough. On an endless search for the perfect lipstick!

I have really dry skin so I moisturize with shea butter underneath. Studio sculpt is for dry skin anyway, since there are a lot of oils in it. I definitely do not recommend it for oily skin.
