MUFE Tres Vichy look

So unfortunately I am still being afflicted with the crazy face breakout rash thing :(  But I wanted to do a new look today anyway so I broke out my Makeup Forever Tres Vichy lashes that I got forever ago and haven't really played with!


In their campaign for the Tres Vichy collection, one of the looks I saw was a rainbow eye with these lashes, so I kind of wanted to do a super girly take on that.





On my lips I used OCC Lip Tar in Interlace with Neutrogena's Soothing Lip Sheer in Shimmering Blush on top. Side note- OCC Lip Tar is AMAZING!!!! They are one of the few lip items I can get to stay on my lips for more than 5 minutes!

For my cheeks, I used Stila blush in Art Deco which is crazy vibrant (I know you can't tell here but that's due to not the best lighting!) and toned it down slightly with Hard Candy blush in Honeymoon.



On my eyes, I used a light green shade on the inner corner, a pink on the outer corner with a pinch of dark pink on the outer edge and crease and silver at my browbone and tear duct areas. All of these shades came from my BH Cosmetics palette.




I lined my upper lashline with Clinique Cream Liner in True Black.
I actually had to go out and work on a project for school with a partner, so I toned down my look by removing the lashes (which are super uncomfortable by the way!) and making the liner more of a cat eye look!

Hard Candy Nobody's Perfect Concealer Palette: My One True Love!

I have had the hardest time finding a great concealer palette. The hunt has been on since I started middle school and started getting dark circles under my eyes! Unfortunately, the dozens that I have tried have all disappointed massively until I found Hard Candy's palette.



The Hard Candy Palette has six colors: a green, cream and pinkish color to offset different tones (i.e. the green for red tones such as zits) and then three nude shades to match your skin color. It also comes with a small concealer brush which is completely useless. I don't know why I haven't cut it off yet!

This is a swatch of pink, cream and green. They kind of blend in really well so they're hard to see...



These are the flesh tones- Once again they blend in really well so it's kind of hard to see them.

I really love this palette. It has helped with all of my cover-up needs and I find it comparable to Makeup Forever's concealer palette, only much cheaper at $8.00. The one downside I have found is that instead of being a more clay-like consistency like Makeup Forever, it is a bit more on the oily side. Overall, this is definitely one of my favorite, most used products.
