I used Sonia Kashuk® Holiday Limited Edition Jazzed up Nude Palette. How awesome that most of the makeup I used came from my Ipsy bags?! And last but not least, my lips. It's by Doll 10 and the color is called flirt. I proceeded to check what else I had in my makeup bag and came across my hydra gel blush which came in my Ipsy April Glam bag. For my eyebrows I used my Touch in Sol Mini browza Superproof gel brow pencil that was in my Ipsy October Glam Bag. To curl my eye lashes, i used the Etos eyelash curler.

To make the color sort of pop, I sprayed my brush just a tad bit using my Evian Facial Water Spray before I started applying the eye-shadow. The shade was called Carnival and gives a nice nude/bronze finish. The eye-shadow I used is from my Ipsy November Glam bag. I know some that do their eye makeup first but I do not. I do all of this before putting my eye-shadow. To blend all of this I used my amazing beauty blender. I used the Etos Foundation brush to apply this foundation. For my foundation I used bareMinerals bareskin pure brightening serum foundation broad spectrum spf 20 in bare latte 11.
I also outlined my eyebrows with the highlighter stick and blended that in with a concealer brush. In between my eyebrows I made a few lines - almost like a half star. I drew a straight line starting at my nose down to my chin. To highlight my face I used the Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter stick that I received in my Ipsy March Glam bag which by the way I loved. I applied this by just making upside down triangles under my eyes and some on my acne spots. The concealer I used is from Covergirl which I purchased at no cost thanks to coupons. I used my finger tips to apply the primer. If that warrants for the magic oil status it enjoys, we don't know.For my base I used the Smashbox primer photo finish.
