Wow! It's been a long time since I've put on foundation (I've been using Too Faced BB Cream and loving it). After watching these pics, yes, I do have to tone it down a bit.
I don't know why I think I still have the wonderful darker skin I had this past summer. =(
Yep, my makeup mistake ;)
Anyway, yesterday I went for a neutral look since I was going to a pool party with my kids, but at the same time I wanted to do a full face of makeup to cover a bit more my dark spots and heck, just for fun --yes, fun...and then I noticed I totally forgot to apply concealer, LOL!
I have been using so little makeup for months now that I feel like I'm lost. o_O
ETA: Just for comparison purposes, I added a "before" pic (it's a couple of years old...long hair... =/ ). Notice redness, dark spots and uneven skin texture.

You have a good skin tone,. You are beautiful. I notice you have a long lashes. Is that real?
ReplyDelete@Ashley: Thank you! LOL, yes, they are real. I do have some posts about fake eyelashes and they look great but for everyday...no no no.
