Makeup (How to Look Like a Cheap Slut)

I'd like to preface this post by stating that this is not a makeup blog.  I am by no means a makeup artist, nor do I think it's something I particularly excel at.  In fact, my skills have been likened to that of a "cheapy slut."

That said, I've gotten a couple comments inquiring about the products I use.  I personally love when people post lists of brands and products they use, so here are mine!  

Be warned - using these products may turn you slutty.




Make Up For Ever HD Foundation
It's ok.  Haha.  It's not like WOW THIS STUFF IS AMAZING, but they offer a broad range of colors so finding a close color match is easy.   I was previously using a MAC liquid foundation and this one is slightly less oily, which is nice for the humid climate in which I live.



MAC Mineralize Skinfinish
I just recently started using this and I really like it.  I apply it with a big fluffy brush (like a kabuki brush) and it feels nice and light.  Good for setting foundation, blends nicely, and looks really natural.  Plus it's like ~MINERALS~ and it's better for your skin or something.  I don't know if I buy that because it's going on top of foundation which I'm pretty sure is clogging my face.



MAC Matte Bronzer
Sparkly bronzer make me angry.  This one is matte, which makes me happy.  I also use it to contour when I'm feeling like my face is unnecessarily puffy.



Nars Blush in Desire
I've been using this color since college.  There's just something about hot pink blush.  It looks scary in the pan, but goes on very sheer.  Nars Orgasm layers great with this color too.



L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner
I'm addicted to eyeliner.  ADDICTED.  If I was on a desert island and could only have one makeup product, it would be eyeliner.  Ok thinking about this now, it sounds ridiculous, but you know what I mean.  I started using eyeliner when I was 13.  I discovered Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in college and never looked back.  Gel and cream eyeliners are the ONLY thing that won't smudge and will STAY BLACK.  I was a Bobbi Brown devotee until I discovered MAC Fluidline, which was a couple bucks cheaper.  Then I discovered L'Oreal HIP Cream Eyeliner and it's like half the price and works just as well.  Some people say it doesn't work as well as BB or MAC, but it works fine for me. 



Stila Eyeshadow in Diamond Lil
I'm not very adventurous when it comes to eyeshadow.  I'll either wear brown/neutral, or smokey black/grey.  That's about it.  I like Stila eyeshadows because they're shimmery without being glittery.  I've been using this one lately.  It's a nice shimmery grey that is work-appropriate.



MAC Eyeshadow in Carbon and Typographic
WHATCHU KNOW ABOUT CARBON.  It is THE black eyeshadow.  Very pigmented, easy to blend.  I just started using Typographic, a matte charcoal grey, a couple months ago and it's nice to use in your crease/outer-V for a day-time smokey eye that is only a little bit slutty.  Like a baby slut.



Christian Dior Diorshow Mascara
I don't know if this mascara lives up to its hype, but it's what has worked best for me thus far.  I think it's hard to read reviews for mascara because everyone has a personal preference as to what makes a "good mascara."  For me, it has to hold a curl and lengthen; adding volume is secondary.  My friend thinks Diorshow is too dry, but I think it's perfect.  Also, I like the overindulgent size of the brush.  Another good one I like is Lancome Hypnose, but unfortunately, it irritates my contacts.  It's super good at holding a curl though.
  



MAC Slimshine in Lovey-Dove
I probably get the most inquiries about my lipcolor and this is what I'm usually wearing.  It's the only lipcolor I've ever bought a 2nd (and 3rd!) time.  I love the consistency - it's very moisturizing and maybe one step above sheer.  It smells/tastes kind of weird but that weirdness has become familiar (and comforting) to me.  Like an old friend.  A friend that makes my lips not chapped.

  1. You know how we do. Gotta slutty up. On another note, if you want length and curl in a mascara, try L'Oreal Voluminous ... or CoverGirl LashBlast (LOVE).

  2. lol @ the "baby slut" comment! too funny!

  3. awesome post
    you should do a skincare products post too!

  4. I am LOL

    We totally have similar makeup favorites - I am a MUFE addict - HD, Face & Body and Full Cover concealer. MUST HAVE

    also love carbon. LOVE CARBON. I think right now I have three pots of it - in my desk, in my bag, in my bathroom . . .

  5. I'm sorry I've fallen off the radar, what a terrible cheapy slut I am, geez!

    Love your make-up choices, we have similar taste in the sense that I own like half of what you wear. I'm definitely going to check out the HD foundation and lipstick though. I want to look as slutty as possible!

    Master slut, can you help me please? I'm just a baby slut. How many times can I write "slut" in this comment. SLUT.

  6. I have desire blush too from Nars and I really love it.

  7. Heh heh, excellent, this is just what my mom would love for me to wear!

  8. Lol I laughed when I saw the title! I remember the time when you had a hater calling you a filipino cheap slut haha.. (I'm filipino BTW..=)) baby slut hahaha.. Love make-up forever products esp their aqua eyeliner.. I personally love NARS deep throat blush..

  9. you inspired me to post what i use, so i linked you giving credit of course!

  10. so a long time ago on set i asked one of the makeup artists wassup w/ minerals and such.. and she said it's nice but dries skin out -- and it's no good if you're the type that falls asleep and doesn't wash your makeup off (totally me). BUT, if you take wonderful care of your skin -- washing/scrub and such -- it's perfectly fine. the end.

  11. Hahaha great title!

    XOXO,
    Lily

  13. ...the hell? I am now having to make a public apology because of a joke between us? And by us, I mean you, me, and your hundreds of readers. Oh Anonymous, how am I supposed to apologize if you're Anonymous?

    This is your fault you know. LOL.

  14. What brush do you happen to use with the gel liner?

  15. anonymous - i use either the bobbi brown ultra-fine eyeliner brush, or the MAC 210 brush.

  16. I was looking for a gel/cream liner that wouldn't break the bank and bought the fluid line since you suggested it. and i really like it! i actually think it's better than MAC and I really like the brush. thanks for that heads up!
