I’ve been a fan of Make Up For Ever for as long as I’ve loved makeup. Today, I’m excited to share a new face powder I’ve purchased, Make Up For Ever Matte Velvet Blurring Foundation Powder. I purchased the shade 520 – Cinnamon. I’ve been considering cutting back on liquid and cream foundations, mostly because of newly developed skin sensitivity…

Came across these photos and I am loving eveything about it from the haircut to the bright red lipstick. Take me back! I’m in between looks right now which sounds kinda crazy but this gave me some major inspo! I kind of want to bleach my hair and put my individual eyelashes on, but I am also pretty lazy and…

Blush was my least favorite color cosmetic until I found the Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow in Eggplant. Yep, you read that right. With fall completely underway, I thought this was a good time to tell you all about the product that set me off into my lightweight addiction with blush. I was in the massive Sephora in NYC…

The Make Up For Ever Underpainting Color Correction Palette quickly caught my eye as soon as it came out. This palette was giving me Pro Sculpting Palette vibes but the sales rep in Sephora assured me that this one is different from that one which I have and really like. This one is more matte and is definitely for color-correcting.…

It’s a little kitty cat eye I made with Make Up For Ever Aqua Paint (L22). I started in the middle of my eye and brought it out just slightly. It’s unassuming, mysterious if detected, and still very professional. Also, I just found out that Princess Diana wore blue eyeliner so… yeah. All the way!

This volume of Super Swatch Sunday feature products that were recently released and ones I found myself incredibly curious about. The most interesting for me this time around is the Marc Jacobs Shameless Foundation. It fully covered my tattoo! Super into the Laura Mercier concealers, too – those things were like butter! Have a look and a few thoughts! Pat…

I love a good eyeliner, in case you can’t tell by the influx of eyeliner reviews. I’m also incredibly lazy, and it’s taken me forever to post this review of the Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Ink Liner ($24.00). I went with the shade Diamond Turquoise Blue, to spice up my regular old black liner.

Do you know how long I have been lusting after the Make Up For Ever Artist Nudes Palette? Years, I tell you, years! When it went on sale at Sephora, I knew I had to pick it up. It’s sold out and the only reason I’m still gonna review it is because the individual powders themselves can still be purchased…

I was so excited when the Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Color Paints ($25.00) came out! I went to Sephora and initially only bought two colors, but I couldn’t stop thinking about two other colors I regretted not getting so I went back for two more!

I’m never buying eyeshadow primer again! Says the gal with ridiculously oily eyelids… For someone with oily eyelids, you would think I would use eyeshadow primer every single time I wear eyeshadow. But since I don’t regularly buy it, and I don’t regularly buy it, I never have it handy. But you know what I always wear? Concealer. I know…

There’s not one Make Up For Ever purchase I regret. This is a brand that I will continue to sweat and praise because they offer quality products at a reasonable price point and they don’t leave any skin tone out. So when they released the Artist Liquid Lipstick ($20.00), there was no hesitation to go check them out. My skin…

This one is for all those days when you just want to roll out of bed and be ready to go. Most of the time, I just can’t bring myself to do it, and end up doing something very natural looking. The real MPV goes to the Ardell Double individual lashes. Even though you may not have lashes by the…

I have been hollering about how great Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet+ Foundation is for years. Somehow, I haven’t reviewed it on my blog, which is mind-blowing. I used to have a YouTube video on it, but it was so outdated and not the best representation of its glory. No matter how many foundations I try, Mat Velvet+ will…

This look has been in my queue for a month and I thought today, with the weather all cold, rainy, and gloomy, was a good day to post it. And to think, when it was 90 degrees and humid I let “I’m ready for fall” come out of my mouth. Smh. Bring back the sunshine!
