I sloppily applied my lipstick straight from the bullet.  I really need to learn to just do the right thing and use a brush!  I adore this lipstick.  It wore quite nicely and only dried my lips very minimally by the end of the day.  I touched up the center of my lips every few hours and after eating, of course.

The HD foundation surprised me because I didn't hate it.  I have not worn it in a long time and the last times I had tried it, I was really displeased with how it wore, especially in my t-zone.  It always got so shiny so quickly!  This time around, I did get a little shiny midday, so I used a blotting paper on my nose.  Near the end of the day I was shiny in my t-zone, so I used another blotting paper.  Otherwise, it was comfortable and looked really great.  I might keep playing around with it to see if I can come up with an even better combination of primer and powder.  And blotting twice a day isn't necessarily a huge annoyance for me.  My neck looks super white and even yellow compared to my face, in these pictures.  I can assure you that it was a really good looking match in person.  (I swear!)  Also, in my defense, pasty neck never looks its best when up against the stark black work shirt.

I want to try and wear more red lips.  I don't think I wear enough.  It's tough, though, since I love so many different lip colors and finishes!

Thanks for stopping by!
