People who know me best know that I have an addition to luxurious cosmetics, they're like a drug for me. My 'drug' of choice has to be NARS. I have loved the cosmetics line from the first time I tried it back in 2004. On the expensive side, it is definitely worth the cost because the quality and final results are incredible. The colors, textures, tones are perfect for all skin types. I have very oily skin and tend to get blemishes in the fall/winter time, and the products from NARS help to reduce the visibility and actually help to clear up my skin at the same time. My personal daily regimen includes:
Makeup Primer SPF 20, $33
After I wash my face with my AMBI products, I use a natural Witch Hazel astringent and then I apply a thin layer of Makeup Primer. This is a necessity prior to makeup application because it helps give a flawless finish and protects your skin from environmental damage.
Concealer $22
A must have for the blemished areas, especially under the eyes. Gives crease-resistant coverage. I personally use the toffee color, but there is a perfect color for every skin tone.
Sheer Matte Foundation $42
I adore this foundation because it is perfect for oily skin. It controls and prevents oil thru the day. It is very light and feels like nothing is on the skin. Gives an overall beautiful look and fresh feel. My color is New Guinea Sheer Matte.
For an added flawless look, I also use the Pressed Powder $32. It just gives a nice clear look over the foundation and evens out the overall skin tone. My color is Jamaica.
Blush $26
is so beautiful and highlights the cheek bone area. I use Taj Mahal, which is a gorgeous orange and bronze toned blush which really pops on my skin tone. I also love Orgasm, which is one of the best colors ever...And my lover, Drake, raps about it! LoLz!
Single Eye Shadow $22
There are so many amazingly beautiful colors of eyeshadows that NARS provides, and I am addicted to all of them. But my daily eyeshadow is Bali, which is a deep bronze and gold shadow. I always get so many compliments when wearing it. It looks amazing on golden brown skin tones.
Lip Gloss $24
Love Love Love NARS lip gloss options! Smooth finish, and looks amazing. I wear Supervixen as part of my daily look, it's an amazing shimmering nude beige color.
Eyebrow Pencil $20
This eyebrow pencil makes eyebrows look flawless and perfect. I like the Jodhpur color, but there are a few options available.
Please keep in mind that these are just the items I use on a daily basis. When I want to stand out, I try the dozens of lip glosses, shadows, blushes, etc. As far as mascara, NARS makes a couple of amazing options, but I opt for Christian Dior Diorshow Blackout. My eyeliner is MAC Smolder. NARS has amazing options for every product so please go to the nearest NARS counter and let one of the wonderful Makeup Artists try some things out on you, you're guaranteed to fall in love!
