Makeup I love, part 1

31 day belly dance makeup YouTube vlogging challenge

Throughout the month of July, 2016, I’ve been working on a 31 day vlogging challenge and have been putting together a variety of fantastic looks for attending, mc’ing, and performing in dance shows. In some videos I go into more details than others about the products I choose to use to build the look.  Although there are a few products that I’ve only used once or twice, most notably, lipstick, there has been a consistent set of basic cosmetics that I turn to again and again throughout this challenge.  Below is a list of the products I’ve had on my studio work table turned vanity throughout this challenge.  There are a lot of things on this list, but know that I would NEVER wear them all at once!  Because I’ve changed lipstick and lip liner virtually every day of this challenge, I will be putting together a second list of lip products that I have been using and like.  The list of lip products would be longer than all the rest put together, so they will get their own list.

Because my mandate was to use drugstore and affordable internet cosmetics, I did buy some products untested and found that occasionally, I got something just didn’t work out for me.  In the list below, I’ve only included in this list the products that I really like and that have really worked for me.  So if you see it here, it’s been a winner for my over 40 dry skin.   Wanna watch the videos? Check out this YouTube playlist.

Happy Costuming!
