mark. Make-up Monday: Iconic

Livingaftermidnite- mark. Monday Iconic 7

In the Summer heat & humidity the most important part of applying make-up is applying products that STAY. Especially going out at night when you want to wear a little more makeup that usual, you don’t want to have to constantly check if you’re eyeliner is running, if your skin is oily, if you’re shadow is creasing…

I always worried about these things until I discovered mark.’s Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner & Shadow. When I use this shadow my makeup looks last FOREVER without melting/creasing/MOVING AT ALL. If I apply it at 8am it looks the exact same at 8pm. Using mark.’s Matte-Nificent Oil Absorbing Powder to set my makeup keeps my skin OIL & SHINE FREE for hours!!

Keep It Going in Iconic, a green/gold duo, is one of the most popular shades. It is constantly coming up in magazines & blogs (like WhoWhatWear). I’m loving this color combo with coral blush & lipgloss!
