FOTD: Everyday Work


Hey loves!! I figured you might be interested in my "everyday" look that I wear to work daily.  I work as a health professional so less is always more. I don't go crazy with glitter or heavy winged liner or bold lips. I try to keep the colors neutral although I will throw in a slight berry lip or darker purple in the crease. I used to wear black liquid liner everyday on the upper last line but recently I have been shying away from that. Lets get into the look and products.

Hopefully that helps you guys get a little inspiration for work friendly make-up look or for those days that you don't want to wear heavy liner or foundation. I usually apply less foundation during the week when I don't want as much coverage or a more "natural" appearance. I do switch out the bronzer, blush, primer, and lip color most days only because I am trying out some other products but these are my most used for this particular look. I know in a past post  (Best in Beauty 2013- Makeup) I said I did not really enjoy the Jordana Best Lash Extreme Voluminizing Mascara but I am trying my very best this month to use up products so here is an example of one I am adding in each day. Let me know what products you use for your daily "go to" look.
