~ Glam Bag Must Haves ~

StacieTennessee Insta

Happy Monday Beauty Queens!! I'm Starting This Week Off with Some of the Glam Bag Must Haves That I Posted to Insta Last Week. No Matter Your Day-to-Day Cosmetics Routine I Believe That EVERY Glam Bag Should Have Four Specific Things for Special Occasions or Days When You Just Need to Vamp it Up a Lil'.

1. A Duo or Trio of a Color for a Smokey Eye. I Don't Think All Smokey Looks MUST Be Black or Brown. One of My Faves is a Purple. However in this Pic I Sport the Basic Black. The Pallet I Used No Longer Has its Branding on the Container, but I Believe it Came fr @kohls. I Started w a Shimmer White All Over the Eye, Followed by a Grey/Silver Close to the Lash Line and a Bit Above. Finish w Black at the End Corner of the Lid. Down a Bit fr The Far End of The Brow Line & V Blending in & Under the Bottom Lash Line. I May Do a Insta Story at Another Time to Better Explain. I'll be Sharing More on the Liners in the Next #GlamBagReview Series, but Just for Facts Sake the Black is @tartecosmetics #ManEater #LiquidLiner in Black & the Silver is @hardcandylife #LiquidLiner. Both are Amazing at Staying in Place & Not Running or Smudging Easily. Mascara is @lorealmakeup #OriginalVoluminous in Black.

2. Along w a Smokey Eye I Also Think a Glam Bag Needs a Nude Lip. When You Go Drama on the Eyes It Is My Opinion You Wanna Go Kinda Chill w the Rest of Your Look. Here, I Am Wearing @revlon #GelLipStick in #Sand(its one of my new faves!! Highly Recommend Trying Out a Color fr the Line), Lined w a @jordana_cosmetics Lip Liner.

3. I Believe EVERY Glam Bag Must Have is Black Liquid Eye Liner & a Matte Bold Lip. I Love Red, Pink or Plumb. Paired I Find it to be Classic, Fancy, & Even Something You Could Do in Every Day Styling. Because of its Classic Vibe I Don't Know That I Think There is an Occasion Where This Look Wouldn't Work. In This Pic I am Wearing @revlon #LiquidEyeLiner in Black, @maybelline #CatEye (cant recall official name at the moment) Mascara in Black.

4. In this Pic I Am Wearing a #MatteRed Lip by @rimmellondonus #KateMossCollection #107, Lined w @jordana_cosmetics Lip Liner Both fr @walgreens.

Quick Tip/Trick ~ When Applying Your Foundation Save a Little on Whatever Tool You Use to Apply It (sponge, brush, fingers) and dab it Onto Your Lips. As You Finish Your Make Up and Blend. By the Time You're Finished Applying Your Blush, etc. it Will Have Set & Will Be a Good Foundation (pun unintended, but works out) for Your Lip Liner/Stick. It Helps Make the Color Last Longer, Helps to Keep Your Lip Liner on Your Lip & Helps Keep Your Lips fr Feeling Dry (which happens sometimes w a matte).

Stay Tuned for Future Glam Bag Posts!! Coming Soon = "I Walk the Line" a Post on Liners and Shadows. Remember, I'm a Mess So You Don't Have to Be.
