#fix your face
Isis, baby, no.
Whatever you want to call it, it’s fucking awesome. AND EASY. And cheap, of course.
I already directed you to this video tutorial a while ago. If you didn’t look before, do it now. Do as I say. DO IT.
In the video they use all sort of expensive shit to do this. Fuck that. You can do it for cheap.
- Instead of $25 Lorac eyelid primer, get the $1 e.l.f. shit.
- Instead of $20 Laura Mercier eyeliner in Black Turquoise, get the $6-7 Milani liner in Blackened Teal.
(Ignore the glitter on the other end - it’s crap. Don’t expect to get two products out of this, and you won’t be disappointed when only one is useful.)
- Instead of $15 Mac Club eyeshadow, get the Wet N Wild Color Icon palette in Comfort Zone for $5, and get 7 other awesome shadows along with it. Use the bottom right shadow for this look.
- Instead of $23 Givenchy black eyeliner pencil, use whatever black eyeliner pencil you want. Seriously. It makes no fucking difference.
Today I’m just going to write about some of my favorite cheap makeup. Some of these I’ve posted about individually before, and others I haven’t. They aren’t all necessarily revolutionary and life changing, but they are are good and reliable and useful. These are the products I tend to use on a daily basis and that I keep buying when I run out.
This is a long one, so get ready.
- Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel (as primer), $6
Here’s my previous post about this one. I just got a sample from Sephora of Lancome LA BASE PRO Perfecting makeup primer. It costs 42-fucking-dollars a bottle. It looks, feels, and even SMELLS identical to this Monistat shit. I haven’t compared the ingredients, but I’ll wager it is exactly the same. Do not waste your money on that nonsense, or I will have to hunt you down and kick you in the taint.
These are my favorite eyeshadows by a fucking mile. They come in threeandeight shade pans (as well as singles, which I haven’t tried). The ones I own are:
- Comfort Zone (8)
- Silent Treatment (3)
- Walking on Eggshells (3)
- Cool as a Cucumber (3)
- Don’t Steal My Thunder (3)
- Sweet As Candy (3)
Comfort Zone, Silent Treatment, and Walking on Eggshells are my favorites, but the only shade out of all of these I was disappointed by was the darker brown in Sweet As Candy. It wasn’t as pigmented and smooth as all the others. ALL the others are wonderful. Here’s what I had to say about Comfort Zone in particular, recently.
Get this stuff:
- Wet N Wild Color Icon Collection Eyeshadow Set in Comfort Zone 738($5)
- e.l.f. Essential Eyelid Primer ($1) (or any other primer)
- (Optional)e.l.f. Studio Makeup Lock & Seal($3)
- Eyelids, if you don’t already have some
