Brow Blade Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil & Ink Stain

not going to lie in this summer I don't like to fuss with my eyebrows too much I know I'm going to get sweaty whatever I apply as likely going to fade off so I've just been reaching for this Urban Decay brow blade not necessarily any more for the ink-stained side which I do still love to get those really precise hair strokes but that's just too much work in this heat so I've been gravitating towards the waterproof pencil side I have this eyebrows done all I have isthe waterproof pencil on and this is my sad on done eyebrows so we'll do this one together so I like to use my pinky for stability and I just use short saw Strokes to gently fill on the prowl I like the formula is creamy enough so that it Glides on smoothly but it's dry enough so that it doesn't slip and slide on my skin throughout the day it's really nice also the nice 10.4%

Stay Naked The Fix Powder Foundation

getting my first impressions of this Urban Decay stay naked the fix powder foundation the claims are at has up to 16 hours of we're supposed to be transfer proof sweat-resistant water-resistant with a seamless skin like matte finish I think it does Les really nicely on my skin being a powder foundation but since it is a matte finish I do find that when I make certain you know facial expressions it says accentuate my fine lines and wrinkles but that comes with age I'm fine with it I think that would actually look a lot more like skin like if I set it down with a setting spray which I will do later but honestly I feel like it is very smoothing this is completely natural I wanted to test the the transfer proof claim so I have a little nap in here

another product that I got clearance at Sephora in JCPenney is this Urban Decay stay naked the fix and this is an up to 16 wear powder foundation but what's interesting about the claims here is that they say it does not transfer does not transfer it's a stay true color water-resistant sweat resistant and it's vegan so let's see how this this is what it looks like I have a hole that looks kind of light for me right now I have it in the shade 50w yellow which is a medium warm yellow underneath the powder there's a little compartment with a charcoal infused sponge so I'm going to use this to just like set my under eyes oh actually that's not too bad so I have it on this side of my face and it

Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion

so this is the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer potion and this is been around for like as long as I can remember they've changed the packaging they've added variations but it's still like the same good stuff as always and I think that eyeshadow primers are such a good thing to have in your collection because like in my experience they make a big difference in last in power and giving a shot of something to grab onto and I do think also I'm learning that I need to really apply it like up to my brow bone I had a little bit of trouble blending this crazy purple out today because I forgot to do that so make sure you really like do a sweep all over your eye so I think this stuff works great I don't think you necessarily need to buy Urban Decay to have a great eye shadow primer I've had a really good one from Milani before 2 there's good drugstore ones as well that are a lot cheaper but I just think that eyeshadow primers in general are not talked about a lot but there's such an important step in your makeup routine
