I also used Physicians Formula Mineral wear face powder in Buff Beige. I was never too impressed with their powders, especially the loose ones because of that mineral-y, metallic-y smell. But the pressed powder that I used today was absolutely gorgeous. The shade blended very well with the undertones of my skin and didn't highlight any flaws I feared. I am very impressed by the formula, texture-wise. It is a very soft matte that gives varying coverages depending on how much you brush on. In my case, I used it also as a concealer by concentrating the product under my eyes, chin, etc.
The powder seems to have brightened my face a little, making me look more awake in contrast of how tired I usually look without makeup magic.
I also used Rosy Glow on my cheeks. I love this color!
The eyeshadows are so pretty too! I really like the colors. The colors range from a sparkly white to a deep forest green. There are a mix of purple toned colors to balance out the many variations of green.
I tried my best to blend. I have a come a looong way and have learned so much through seeing everyone's different techniques.
Overall, this is an easy look for dates, anniversaries or any occasions! :)
In addition to the Physicians Formula powder, eyeshadows and blush, I used MAC fluid line in Black Track to line my eyes, Loreal Collagen mascara, and Estee Lauder lipstick in Bois de Rose.
That's all! :) Easy?
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Your eye makeup looks amazing and so well blended, I wish I could do it as well as you^^ What colours are you using btw? Is it a blue/olive green mix? It's so pretty!
The eyeshadow looks amazing on you, photos are really stunning :)
I have oily skin. Do you have recommendations for making eyeshadows stay on my eyelids?
Wow your shadows here really pop! I love the colors! Brighter shadow color complement your skintone really nicely :) And Jen how do you always have such beautiful glowing skin??
Tammy - I used the lightest green and the darkest green on the palette and a little purple in the middle. I think that mix turned it blue :p
Petite - Use a primer or pat powder on your lids before applying e/s. It really helps! :) Apply powder that is oil free.
Sophia - You are so nice all the time! Beautiful glowing skin!? It's the makeup!!
i love the look! your rave about the physicians formula has made me interested. I'll have to go and look into it ^^
cute cute! i love the shadow and you didn't over do it either. i love blue eye shadow and in college i'd pile it on. my gay friend would say...Ping turn off the lights...because it was so bright. hahah! your hair looks great too -- so voluminous!
The look is so cute. Very vibrant but not too crazy. I like your cheek color a lot!^0^
Thank you for the tip! I will try out with powder foundation.
I have their powder & blush too! I really like them but they can get really messy :(
gorgeous!
You got really great looking skin and I envy you! I also just noticed that you have those beautiful moles on each cheek. I think it's gorgeous! love how you work the eye make-up.
I'll have to show this to my wife--we go overboard with anniversaries. We celebrate the day we met, when we became a couple and of course the wedding anniversary. Throw in Mother's Day, Father's day, birthday's, Christmas, Valentine's Day and it's no wonder we're broke--but happy! =)
amazing eye make-up...you're definitely good at it.
thanks so much by the way for the encouraging words on my last post..i am trying to get by and i do hope that the leap i'm taking is worth it!

Your skin does look like it has a glow effect. Very pretty. I can't believe you had problem skins before [read on your last post].
Your blue and gold shadow looks really pretty as well. It's definitely an anniversary look.
