I’m so use to bright colors and a dark, smoky look so I actually have to carefully think about my makeup when doing a professional look.

    Overall matte, kind of dull look :D

    I used my liquid foundation as my skin has just been horrible lately, so I figured better coverage would be good. I have NO idea why I am breaking out like I am. I scarcely use my moisturizer, and I’ve been using my cleanser since November. So I am not sure what is happening. I don’t know if I’m breaking out because it’s so dry being winter? Ugh…

    I also need new MUFE Lash Fibers like yesterday. Living so far away from a Sephora or MAC store sucks!!
