That's What I'm Wearing Wednesday. Since it's 4F right now, what I'm wearing isn't going to be all that exciting, but here's how I cope with the cold. In honor of Blogdorf Goodman's "wear your stash" challenge, I'm at least going to list makeup so that I can remember to wear something different next time. That'll really be a challenge since I have a bunch of new things I'm really loving.

This probably sounds very time consuming, but it isn't. It takes no more than a minute to prep my skin for foundation, and it wouldn't take that long if it weren't for the fact that the primer needs to set just a bit. Foundation and blush takes just a minute, I can do my eyes in 3 minutes, and lips take only seconds. (That doesn't mean that it always goes that quickly. Sometimes I dawdle. :))
*I've started just using foundation on the center of my face where my coloring is the most uneven. Then I dust some powder all over and the effect isn't bad at all. The Vincent Longo is such a good color match that I'm able to do this without a lot of effort in blending and with no visible line.
**Benefit 10 is half blush, half bronzer. Rather than swirling a brush over them, you run a brush straight across, depositing blush on one half, bronzer on the other. Then you apply with the blush half towards the top of the cheekbones and the bronzer half on the bottom. Foolproof, even for me.
