My EyesLipsFace (E.L.F.) Make-Up Experience

Hi guys! So recently I've been really into make-up. I mean before I was always into it but it was really just a mild affection. Now I've become almost obsessed with these products.

EyesLipsFace is a company that specializes in all things for the eyes, the lips, and the face (eyeslipsface.com) . They have "zit zappers" which tighten pores and deliver a mild refreshing formula to the spot that you want to take care of. They also have "Shimmering Facial  Whip" which acts as an all over highlighter that can go on your lips, your cheeks, and your eyes. It's just a really great highlighter that has a small tip so that you don't use too much and the product lasts longer. But another great highlighter is the "All Over Cover Stick" which is just like the facial whip in that it highlights and draws in focus to anywhere that you want it to.
Now since I'm so obsessed with this make-up line I decided to challenge the cover stick to the facial whip and the results were actually very good. I like the look of having a lighter inset to your eyes and as you get to the outer lid there's a darker version of the color. I think it's very cute and versatile with any color. So essentially the Color Stick is a solid version of the facial whip. They're both the same price ($1) and you can get them at your nearest Target store or eyeslipsface.com

I used a Burnt Plum in their baked eyeshadow collection ($2) and bought a Professional Blending Eye Brush ($1) . To get this look I washed my face, and then  moisturized it ; I always use this Equate Advanced Recovery Lotion and I wait for about 5 minutes for it to set in and properly moisturize my face. After that I use my CoverGirl Clean Pressed Powder in Classic Tan which blends in well with my skin color. Then I use the EyesLipsFace Eye Primer And Liner Sealer which really works well to keep creases out of your make-up so that you don't have to freshen up as much in the day. Then I set my face with this powder, I'm not really sure what brand it is but it works great and I just brush it on all over. After that I use my Blending Brush or a sponge and use either the Facial Whip or the Cover Stick to make the inset lighter, after I've gotten the degree of lightness that I want I then apply my eyeshadow with the Professional EyeShadow Brush   that is also from EyesLipsFace I make sure that the color is lighter and then apply an eyeliner that is not by EyesLipsFace , usually brown, and the Revlon Plumping Mascara which makes my lashes look longer and fuller. And after that I'm ready to go! Thank you for reading and I'll post a video of both the Facial Whip and the All Over Color Stick and hopefully find one that uses my technique for highlighting.
