mark. Makeup Monday: Sparkle Sparkle

NYE is all about sparkles & lashes & glitter….even if you’re spending the night hanging out with your friends playing board games & eating lots of goodies! But sparkles, lashes & glitter don’t have to stop on NYE…one of my resolutions this year is to not care what other people think and do what I want to do! Sparkles, Lashes, Glitter & ALL
Loving this quote from the Man Repeller herself,
“Some of us live every eve like New Year’s Eve; Theres no reason to stow your sequins away post-new calendar.”
Anyone else planning to live by this quote this year?

After using mark. Keep It Going Longwear Shadow & Liner in last week‘s mark. Monday post as a base to my shadow I’ve been totally hooked on doing this! I’ve always used it more as a liner because it is an amazing gel liner but it says right in the name – Shadow & Liner. When they say “longwear” they really mean longwear. Put this on a 8am and at 8pm it will look like you just applied it!

Get your own monogram necklace! One of the best gifts I’ve ever received!

As always its mark. Monday & all the products I used are mark.!

1. Started off moisturizing my skin with mark. Calm & Composed Soothing Moisturizer ((perfect ultra moisturizing lotion for Winter weather!)). Followed by prepping my eyes with Get Defensive Eye Cream & prime your entire face with Primed for Perfection Face Primer.
2. Apply Min-A-Real Foundation with a foundation brush. Concealer any blemishes and under eye circles with Conceal for Real Hook Up Concealer.
3. For the eyes start by prepping your lids with Please Hold Eye Primer. Taking a Flat Eyeliner Brush apply the champagne color from Keep It Going Longwear Shadow & Line in Exposure to entire lid and along lower lashes, including near inner corner. Set this shadow shade 3 from the On The Dot Neutral Palette (3rd shade in top row), apply to entire lid into crease. Apply iMark Metallic Eyeshadow in Lava to crease & outer corner of eyes. Apply the same On The Dot Shadow as earlier over the black shadow and blending well with a blending brush.
4. Groom brows and apply iMark in Whisper under brows as a highlight. Line upper lashes using flat eyeliner brush with black shade from Keep It Going Longwear Shadow & Liner in Entourage. Line waterline with No Place To Run Eyeliner in Jet Set. Curl lashes and apply 2 coats of Lash All You Want Mascara in Black to upper and lower lashes. Apply Ardell Accent Lashes to outer corners of each eye.
5. Finish face by wiping away any eyeshadow fall out. Conceal under eye again & set foundation with Matte-Nificent Oil Absorbing Powder. Apply Glowdacious Illuminating Powder in Prettied Up to cheeks and along hairline with an Angled Contour Brush.
6. Finish with Totally Balmed Tinted Lip Balm in Totally Sweet followed by Glow Baby Glow in Pink Crush to lips.
