Margaux's everyday makeup look #1 (Part 1)

Hi readers!

So Liz and I finally dragged ourselves out of our inertia and got a Blogger account. Woop woop! I knew I couldn't commit to my own makeup blog because I always have a ton of other stuff to worry about, so Liz as a co-blogger is an absolute godsend. Her humour always cracks me up!

I've received lots of requests to spill my makeup routine(s) and my go-tos. Unfortunately, I don't stick to products/brands...except for a certain few, which you will find out as you continue reading this blog for hopefully, the next few years. I will, occasionally, mark out my fave/HG products with an asterisk so you know which products have attained cult status in my books.

My first look is one of the many variations of my everyday look- I keep my face and eyes simple but I love bright lip colours...no like, seriously. I. Love. Bright. Lip. Colours. My obsession with bright lip colours started ever since I saw...some celebrities wear red lipstick in 2007. I bought a Chanel Rouge Allure in Lover and have never looked back on my crazy obsession since. So here's magnified versions of my face after I'm all dolled up for my boyfriend's best friend's sister's birthday party (I know how distant that sounds, but there was a bouncy castle!):

Face: Estee Lauder Invisible Fluid Makeup in 2WN2, Cle de Peau concealer in Ochre 

Cheeks: NARS blush in Luster*

Eyes: Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in 1L*, Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour in Sandglow, Dior show Maximizer, Lancome Definicils (non-WP) and Make Up For Ever Aqua Smoky Lash*

Lips: Fresh Sugar Advanced Lip Therapy* and YSL Glossy Stain in #10 Rouge Philtre

Nails: Essie in Marshmallow

I know my hair looks really dry because I haven't been taking care of it. So try to ignore that for a bit. I'll probably do a Part 2 on this topic, just to say how I apply the products and what I think of them. Maybe a video? I need a good camera first....sigh. The pains of being a blogger. Till then, hope this satisfies any burning questions re the makeup products I use!
