I've never really posted a picture of myself without any make-up on my blog before. I'm a little nervous, but I think in the end we'll all be happy about it. :)
As I just started selling Avon because I believe in their products, I want to show you which products I love the most. Starting with a clean make-up free and moisturizer free face I'm going to use the Ideal Flawless CC Color Corrector Cream. I find this product to be reasonably priced and it feels great on my skin. Most of the time I use this product in the summer because of the UVA/UVB SPF 50+ protection that it has built in. If I were gauging the thickness of coverage I would say this works best for medium coverage. Basically what I mean by medium coverage is that I can still see some freckles underneath the foundation, but it smooths out the tone in my skin which makes it look healthy and natural. Awesome for everyday use!

Time for my powder. Personally I like to use the light bronzer all over my face and then the warm bronzer for my blush. The Avon Glow Bronzing Powder is a pressed powder which feels very light on my skin and it doesn't brush off your face as easily as most powders. I must warn you that the 'Sunkissed Glow' is very light and for most people this wouldn't be considered a bronzer at all. It's one of the reasons why I use it all over my face. Then I use the 'Warm Glow' on the tops of my cheeks and brush it towards my ears. A good rule of thumb is to place bronzer on areas that you would normally get sunburned.
After my Ideal Flawless CC Color Corrector Cream foundation and my bronzer is on I start working with my eyes. Now for this demonstration I am going to follow the directions for the Avon Quad Eyeshadow, but normally I start with my darkest color first and work my way up to the light colors. To be honest, after trying it their way I noticed myself adding a little more of the light colors after.
I use the True Color Eyeshadow Quad in 'Berry Love' because it helps bring out the color in my blue eyes. I absolutely love their color palettes because they have all the colors I need for a whole look. No more diving into my make-up box to find the dark shades and light shades.

Steps:
- Use the lightest color underneath the highest arch of your brow line. Bring the color all the way down the brow towards the outside of your eye.
- Use the second lightest color and go over the rest of your lid and just under the lightest color that you just applied.
- Use the medium color in the corner of your eyes closest to your nose. Bring this color to the middle of your eyelid staying close to your eyelashes.
- Use the darkest color a the outside corner of your eyes and bring it to the middle of your lid staying close to your eyelashes. Then bring it up to the crease of your eye and follow it back down to the starting outside corner. Make sure that this is even before blending it into the rest of the colors.
- To top it off and to make sure that it's blended properly I clean off my brush and use only the brush to blend the color that's already on my eyes. Starting with the medium dark to the dark color and then the crease line.
The next thing that I'm using on my eyes is a liquid liner. For those of you who don't like putting on liquid liners because they are messy, you NEED to try a liner with a felt tip. It makes it so much easier to put your liner on and keep it close to your lashes. Extra Lasting Eye Liner has a long felt tip which makes it easy to use and it glides smoothly without cracking. I would also like to point out that it dries quickly so you don't have to worry about blinking and having a line of liner on the top of your eyelid. The pricing on this item is comparable to items that you'd find at a drug store or a store brand. Very affordable and worth it in my opinion!
After my liner is set my eyes are ready for my NEW FAVORITE mascara. This mascara is revolutionary in the way that it defines your lashes and the way it's applied. I will soon be posting a short video on how this mascara application works and why it is ridiculously AMAZING. For right now let me just say that mark. Lash Act Build and Define Mascara is going to be the next hottest thing. Okay enough boasting about this product.
I applied a layer of mark. Lash Act Build and Define Mascara while the brush was in its full spread form and then I went back over my lashes with the brush pulled in so it would define my lashes more while lengthening the look. I swear that this mascara makes me look like I have fake lashes on. I would easily pay upwards of $30.00 for a mascara like this, but if you can believe it Avon sells it for less than $15.00. Actually I think the cost is $12.00 right now. lol INSANE!

Last, but not least. I personally don't like wearing lip stick very often. Maybe it's because I bite my lips or because I like kissing a lot, but for whatever reason I just don't wear it much. I do however love wearing lip gloss. I like how it feels and I like that I can wipe it off easily when needed. ;)
The Ultra Glazewear Lip Gloss is a nice color boost without making your lips feel sticky. It doesn't last a long long time, but it did stay on my lips for a few hours even after drinking my Starbucks. The cost is low and I'd definitely suggest getting it in a couple colors to fit the mood you're in or the event that you plan on wearing it to. I have the pink watermelon and the nude, but I need to get rich raspberry to add to my wardrobe. They run about $5- $6 each.

I hope you liked this product demonstration and tutorial. I enjoyed putting this look together and showing you from start to finish. Just so everyone knows... I wore this make-up all day and even at my volleyball game (where I sweat a lot) and everything stayed in place. My eye make-up still looked amazing and my foundation didn't melt off of my face. Definitely impressed considering most make-up melts off when I'm working outside in Florida. The only thing that I had to reapply was my lip gloss. NOT BAD!!
