I thought this would be really touch and go. Sit in front of a mirror with a camera in hand and take pictures after each step of my makeup. How hard is that? Well Alissa. It was very hard. Getting the camera to focus, trying to get the colors to actually show up accurately, trying not to poke my eyes out. It was tough. So bear with me as we all embark on this wonderful makeup journey after the jump!

FOTD: I'm Tired So I Will Overcompensate With Makeup
I love makeup. What I do not love is sitting in front of a mirror for 30 minutes pasting my face on. But hey, a girl has to do what a girl has to do. So I will be starting another feature here on It's Always Sunny, where I show off my accomplishments in the world of cosmetics and perhaps teach y'all a few tricks. LET'S GO.
As the title says, I was tired. And my solution to not looking tired is to make my makeup so dark that it looks like I am purposely trying to seem tired. It works, I'm telling ya'll. I did my friend Kelci's makeup for sophomore banquet and did these eye shenanigans on her and she looked so pretty. So essentially, you can dress it up or down. Depends on your outfit (I just wore a navy blue cotton high low dress and red sweater with my hair tied up. Not fancy at all.) Now for the products I used...
Face...
- Revlon Colorstay liquid foundation
- Neutrogena 3-in-1 undereye concealer
- Maybelline Stay Matte finishing powder
Eyes...
- Coastal Scents 88 matte palette (for eyeshadow and brows)
- Sephora Limited Edition Eye Palette
- Almay Bright Eyes liner
- Covergirl Lashblast Fusion mascara
- Maybelline Colossal Volume mascara
Brushes...
- COSTCO HAS THE BEST MAKEUP BRUSHES!!! AND THEY'RE CHEAPER THAN DIRT.
But Alissa, HOW DO I DO WHAT YOU DID?!?! Well, ladies and gentledudes, I will be doing a makeup tutorial on how you can achieve this look upon the morrow. So stay tuned for that. I hope you guys weren't getting too excited about learning this today. Patience is a virtue. Har har har.
Oh and did y'all notice that I dyed my hair black?! It was starting to turn green so I aborted that mission and had Tess dye it black for me. I love it. And I love her for putting up with me whenever I ask her to dye my hair ;)
Anyways, have a relaxing Wednesday!
Until next time,
A
