Has anyone use Cover Girl's Outlast Foundation (the 2 in 1 that includes a primer/moisturizer & foundation)?  Basically, I didn't think that it would be a decent foundation because I am not really into products from Cover Girl (they should update the packaging for their products, especially the lipsticks) but it gives medium coverage without appearing too thick!

Why I would use this foundation
-affordable ($6-8 in drug stores, I'm not sure if this line is still available)

-left side contains prep primer/moisturizer that has spf (I think it is spf 15) & it is odorless
       -this is awesome because sometimes most of us (including myself) don't apply moisturizer before applying foundation and the foundation ends up appearing too dry and settles into our lines or pores

-right side contains the foundation itself
-foundation itself has light to medium coverage (buildable), it doesn't feel cakey or thick
       -reduce appearance of large pores
      
Seriously, it gives great coverage while manages to help you look somewhat more natural, but I will update later with its staying power throughout the day. (I also read other reviews and the users really complimented on its staying power.) Much better than I had assumed =)

Tip: don't add lipgloss onto your eyelids

Of course different lighting make our skin look different and in pictures also, but in real life, I like it!! =)

5 Wet n Wild lipstick swatches, why customers' reviews are important to a business, WIN free eyeshadow!

 Practicing makes perfect, repetition with practice is even better I had told myself I'd dedicate an hour every day to practicing makeup applications but the past couple of weeks have been so busy for me that I haven't been able to- but then whenever I do practice, I always try the same groups of colors on the eyes and same techniques. My goal is next time I practice, I will have a YouTube video on and practice along with the guru as well. You assume once you watch something, you can replicate the same colors and techniques after- but not I. I do not want Beyoumakeupshop's customers nor my friends, or people I know to think I am always about promoting our own products. I really do try to find different ways to use the products, research on the products and reviews, and I do try to test on myself prior to adding them. I have not tested nor use everything in the Shop, but hopefully over time I will be able to. Why customers' reviews are important to a business I bel

I'm grateful for work =)

The weather has been sooo cold here in Northern California, much colder than last year =(  I don't think I can ever imagine myself living anywhere but the warm states, unless its New York and there's no need to drive with the subway/cabs. Ay, with the 30 for 30 challenge, I have been so uncreative, but now that I'm starting to work, I'll be more out of the box of my typical self and practice wearing different makeup at the same time.  I'm so grateful because I finally found a part time job and after the first day of work (yesterday), I was so tired and end up sick. From now on, I will make sure to keep myself warm and wear tons of layers of clothing because it is so easy to get sick in this type of weather. One of most dislike situations is being sick- it just makes you feel helpless and weak. I'm gong to make sure I work extra hard and always do my best because I'm so grateful to have found it. How do people work full time, go to school, and still raise

I tried to be a model! =) Extreme eyes

I went outside of my comfort zone and tried something different with my look and I had just dyed my hair. I tried to emmulate this look, including the pose from the original model. I tried contouring the nose, exaggerate the cheekbones, and failed at the pose because I didn't know my hands were the opposite side. It was so much fun to step outside of my comfort zone!*P.S. if you look closely at my nails, you can tell there are color smearings around my finger- I used my Smashbox cream eyeliner for my nail colors ! =) Original picture   Can you see the contouring of the nose?
