Product Review: Missy Lynne Palette and Maybelline Matte+Poreless Foundation

Missy Lynn is one of the first YouTube Channels I subscribed to when I became interested in makeup. She won the NYX Face Awards a couple years ago and now she has her very own eye shadow palette with BH Cosmetics. When I purchased the palette it was on sale for $11.95 the original price is $18.95. 

Missy Lynn Palette

The palette includes six matte eye shadows and two baked highlighters. I used an eye shadow base with the shadows because they were not as pigmented as I like. They blend well and can make a variety of looks including day and night. Those highlighters are gorgeous, makes your cheekbones pop. I used them in my inner tear duct, on my cheekbone, and as a brow bone highlight. All in all the palette was a good purchase, glad it is part of my collection. 

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation

I have been hearing about the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless foundation all over YouTube and Instagram so I finally decided to give it a try. I have combination skin which means I am oily in my T-Zone, have large pores on my nose and cheeks, and dry on the other areas. With my combination skin and large pores, I thought why not give this foundation a try due to its name Matte and Poreless. 

Foundation Review:

• Medium coverage, but buildable to receive full coverage
• Matte finish and minimizes pores
• Lasted six or seven hours before I began to see the oil come through

I am satisfied with the foundation due to the price and coverage. I would recommend it to others for their everyday makeup routine or even a night on the town.

Everyday Makeup

I do not wear makeup every day, but when I do I typically go for something light and natural. I save the glam for special occasions or times when I am feeling "Divalicious." A few items that I go for to create my "Everyday Makeup Look" include: Tinted moisturizer or BB Cream, concealer, powder, blush, neutral or gold eye shadows, and a soft color lippie or gloss. I also apply mascara and fill in my brows as well. Those products were not listed in this blog.

The Look

My go-to tinted moisturizer is from MAC and my go to BB Creams are Maybelline (not pictured), and AJ Crimson. These products act as a moisturizer, primer, and gives a hint of coverage all in one. They are lightweight and feels as if you have no makeup on. It is best to grab one with SPF to protect your skin from the sun, if not add a bit of moisturizer with SPF before to protect your skin. After applying tinted moisturizer or bb cream, I set my face with powder and sometimes setting spray to seal everything in.

I use concealers under my eyes and to conceal any blemishes and also clean up my brows. Covergirl Queen is used under the eye to brighten, Maybelline is used to conceal blemishes, and  MAC is used to clean up my brows.

Neutral or gold eye shadows work best for me in my everyday look because they are soft and gold gives me a little shine. I sometimes use an eye shadow pencil and blend it out with a blending brush. Light and medium brown eye shadows are good for an everyday look as well.

End the look with a pinch of blush and the lippie of your choice. Orange, nude, and light pink blushes are a go-to for everyday makeup unless I want a pop of color then I will go for a darker pink or purple and pair it with my lips.

Lips are my favorite part of my makeup look so I tend to add color in that department. Some days I will wear a nice bright or bold lip color with no makeup. These are a few of my faves for a hint of fun. Bold, light, and bright.
