My Daily Makeup

One of my biggest struggles in green living is finding suitable substitutions for my daily makeup. I've tried a lot of eco-friendly products and to be honest, they often fall short of my expectations (both in quality and price). But I will recommend zoya nail polish because they are are both vegan-friendly and formaldehyde-free (I wore austine at my wedding).  Urban Decay is another good company; I love their  gorgeous eyeshadows in particular. They come in 75 different colors & many are vegan-friendly like my faves: mildew, shattered or heartless.

As for what I use day-to-day, I am in love with MAC's lipsticks. It's a toss up of Everyday Diva, So Chaud or Lovelorn. I also use their blush after applying moisturizer, primer and a little bit of foundation. I don't  typically use eyeshadow except for special occassions.  Instead I use the ELF eye primer and their liquid eyeliner in black.

What I Wear ////////////
1. so chaud by MAC. I have probably 6 different shades of red in my beauty arsenal but so chaud is probably my favorite of them all. It is the perfect matte lipstick that lasts all day.
2. great lash by Mabelline. It's about as generic as you can get of a mascara that doesn't clump. I'm also a fan of Urban Decay's mascara however it is a little bit out of my normal price range.
3. dainty mineral blush by MAC. I never wore blush until my wedding but since then I have added this to my daily routine and really feel it gives my makeup an overall polished look.
4. blush brush
5. liquid foundation by MaryKay. It was a gift that I'm quite grateful for because I have a hard time finding the right foundation/concealer.
6. illuminating primer by Este Lauder. I got a sample once of this stuff and have loved it ever since. This is what helps give my skin a little bit of a glow.
7. liquid eyeliner by E.L.F. It goes on so smooth and the brush is really small which makes it great for a subtle stroke along the lash line.
8. eye primer by E.L.F.

    I have only wore makeup once in my entire life on my wedding day but I am always curious as to whats out there in case I want to dibble or dabble.

    I'm glad to hear someone say they use the eye primer by E.L.F. I've always wanted to try it, but wasn't sure it would work well. Does it make your eye color stay and not migrate?
    I don't wear make-up often, but I like to dress up and make myself extra pretty once in a while :)

    I dont wear a lot of makeup, but I do have an Avon illuminating primer that I love. It makes my skin look more even and bright, without leaving it greasy feeling!

    I only wear makeup if I go out, and even then it's usually just eyeliner and some lipgloss!
