Grad Photo Makeup - A little favour

Before
After


A natural look for grad pictures. It's still you, but enhanced :)
I did this for my friend who already had clear skin. In pictures, it doesn't show a significant difference, but because of the lighting, it does not reveal shadows and her freckles. Since she had natural blush, I decided to leave it so it is as natural as it can be. 

Products used:
  • Physician's Formula - Mineral Corrector (Translucent)
  • bareMinerals foundation (W13) and mineral veil
  • Urban Decay Primer Potion
  • MAC eyeshadow - Chill
  • Grey & silver eyeshadow 
  • Kiss Me Heroine Mascara
  • Gosh "Touch Up" concealer (1)
  • Kiss My Face "Sheer Organic Shimmer" (Ruby)
  • Kiss My Face "Sheer Organic Shine" (Ruby)

Peter Thomas Roth - Lips To Die For (Pink Bombshell)


Description: “Protect and maintain soft, supple, sexy and kissable lips with this invigorating daily lip conditioner.”
Review: Okay, seriously, I just love this lip balm so much. I wanted to just post a picture of this and say “holy crap, best lip balm ever!”, but then I wanted to be consistent and decided to write a proper review instead.
My mom also got this PTR product from a retailer, but I think this is sold for $20 CAN.
Once the lip balm is applied, your lips will feel much more supple, smoother, and softer. It is a really nice, light fragrance. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s like a minty citrus fragrance. Your lips will also be treated to a soothing tingly sensation provided by menthol in the product (my favourite lip balms often contain menthol). The slight pink in the lip balm will give your lips a natural rosy glow, or can be used to enhance lip colour. 
Quality of product: Great product. Contains aloe, Vitamin E, mango & shea butter, all very moisturizing and nourishing for the delicate skin on the lips. Lasts for a very long time.
Quality of packaging: This lip balm comes in one of those little pots where you have to unscrew the lid to use the product. Although not many people are usually fond with the idea of dipping their finger in the pot to use the lip balm, I’m pretty satisfied with it. The quantity is larger than if it was in stick form, and if you’re worried about hygiene, use hand sanitizer. 
{ Overall }
Pros:
  • extremely moisturizing
  • cooling sensation
  • high quantity of product
  • enhances lip colour
