So I attempted to make my very first makeup video and totally failed! I used my little Fuji x100t and it kept auto changing the white balance and it was super blown out but I didn't realize until I was all finished. Awful. I want to try again so any advice on what to use is much appreciated! I have a Nikon D800 that I could use, but I would rather have something with the screen facing me (selfie mode - is that what you would call it? hah) so I can see what I'm doing and I definitely need some better lighting. If you make videos, feel free to help a sista out with your knowledge!
Anyways, here is what I used even though you can't even tell in this photo *sad face for no video*:
FACE:
Moisturizer - Dermalogica Oil Control Lotion - trying this out so I'm not sure how I like it yet
Primer - Laura Geller Spackle Primer - love this!
Foundation - NYX Invincible Foundation - pretty decent, always on the hunt for different foundations to try
Concealer - Lorac Porefection Concealer - so far, love it! Got it on sale at Ulta and I've been using it for about a month.
Powder - Pur 4-in-1 Mineral Makeup - Love it, it almost has a slight sheen to it.
Contour - Mac Powder Blush in Blunt - using it for years, love it
Blush - So Susan Universal Blush - very pretty with a nice highlight already in it
EYES:
Manly Cosmetic Neutral Eyeshadow - I need to try something new, but these are SO pigmented
Pur Eye Polish in Suede for the outside of the eye - it's a new product that takes a little getting used to. It applies wet, but once it dries it's very pretty. P.S. it dries very quick.
Pur Eye Polish in Silk for the inside of the eye
Maybelline Ultra Eyeliner - a drugstore product I've used since high school.
Benefit Roller Lash Mascara - trying this out, but much prefer Smashbox Full Exposure in Waterproof
EYEBROWS:
Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade in Soft Brown - the best, hands down
LIPS:
PUR Lip Lure in Mystic - I love this! It's very hydrating to my lips.
SUNGLASSES are Oakley Hold On - love, love, love these.
