Complete Ecstasy

My obession with the New Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks by Gerard Cosmetics is crazy.  The color payoff is great.  It is easy to apply and will not over dry the lips.  This color Ecstasy is beautiful and a great color for this fall season.  With a pair of long lashes and perfect glow, you have a great easy fall look.  One of the prettiest simple and cool color looks yet .....

As my base, to cancel any red I used NYX Studio Perfect Photo-Loving Primer in Green (NYX Photo Loving Green Primer) and Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation in Natural Beige (Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation)

 For brows, I used my trustee Brow Bar To Go by Whitening Lighting

(Brow Bar To Go)

For my Contour, Blush & Highlight... I used the BH Cosmetics Contour & Blush Palette (BH Cosmetic Color Contour Palette).  For highlight I used theBalm Mry-Lou Manizer (theBalm Mary-Lou Manizer) & M.A.C MSF in Soft & Gentle (MAC MSF Soft & Gentle)

For the eyes I used my favorite palette at the moment, the Lorac Mega Pro 2 Palette (Lorac Mega Pro 2 Palette) and Koko Lashes in #108 (Koko Lashes #108)

For the lips, I used one of my favorite color combos for this fall season.  For the liner I used M.A.C.'s Lipliner in Stone (MAC Stone Lipliner) and my newest lip obsession, Gerard Cosmetics Hydra Matte Liquid Lip in Ecstasy (Hydra Matte Liquid Lip )

Just the Minimum Needed ....

There are just some days that all you need is a little. Especially here in the south where the sun is fierce and the humidity the worst.  Still no reason that we can't look well put together and fresh face. Let ur lashes and flawless skin be the focus. 

I was able to get this look with the exception of the lashes and brow pomade, all on a drug store budget. 

Starting with a fresh clean and moisturized face because a clean canvas is needed for a flawless result.
