Face of the Day, Thursday 4/17

It was a no makeup, makeup kind of day.
Skin Condition in AM: Normal
Makeup Condition in PM: Perfect

Observations and Additional Information:
Today was my favorite makeup day this week - and it was "no makeup, makeup". The Etude House went on so well - I used two pumps, but one pump at a time. I worked from home today so I really let my sunscreen soak in before applying moisturizer - and I really let that sit before applying the BB Cream. And my ELF shipment arrived last night, carrying my new cream blush/contour. I LOVE IT. It went on so smoothly over the BB Cream.

I can't get the under eye concealer thing right - it's seriously settling into my fine lines. I took a trip to Ulta to browse around and one of their employees was kind enough to try and help me out. She recommended Philosophy's Eye Hope, explaining that hydration was the most important part of fine lines. Unfortunately, when I applied it I felt a tingling so I took it off immediately. (Now I'm wondering if there's something else going on though, because tonight when I applied the eye cream I have leftover from Rodan + Fields, I felt the same thing. It's since subsided.)

Because I didn't wear eyeliner today, I suspect that there's something happening there that's causing the fallout. I did have a little bit from my mascara, but nothing like what's been happening recently. The strange thing is that I've been using the Lancome Liner Noir for years, and I've never had this issue before. I'll figure it out. Eventually.

It's hard to see the blush in these pictures (I'd look like a clown IRL if I wore enough blush for it to show up well in pics, but seriously - the ELF Studio Blush & Bronzing Cream is amazing in conjunction with the Etude House BB Cream.
