Politically Pretty FOTD


Hello Divas,
The awesome B of Clumps of Mascara & Kia of Yummy411, came up with a great idea and challenge that I just had to participate in. The challenge was to use makeup to express your feeling or view on 2008's presidential election.

I am so proud to be an American right now. And I have never felt so patriotic in my whole life. Fourth of July was usually the only time I expressed my love for the flag but because of this special feeling and historic election. My patriotism is what inspired my FOTD. Here is my use of the powerful colors Red, White & Blue So, even though I'm late with my FOTD better late than never. Right?







Here's what I used:

Face
Smashbox Photofinish Primer
MUFE HD Foundation shade 175
Mineralize Skin Finish "Dark" & "Deep Dark"(182)
Star- Fascinating eye kohl & CCB "white" (142)

Eyes
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
NYC Brow set in Brunette (266)
NW40 concealer as highlight (208)
Freshwater/s on lid (239)
Deep Truth on crease (Sonia Kashuk blending brush)
Prussian e/s on outer v into crease (224)
L'oreal Hip Crayon "Intricate" e/l on waterline
Clinque Lash Building Primer
Maybelline Colossal Mascara "Glam Black

Lips
Prep + Prime Lip

Remember to
Rock the Vote!!!!
