I love makeup... it's so much fun. Although, picking up makeup while healing from surgery is torture... you can just look at it and take inventory. That's the hardest part of healing... waiting to try the new stuff! I am a big advocate of makeup in the "can I pass" threads. So I figured I would share a quick view at my kit bag... I am an advocate of brushes. They'll help tremendously with making your makeup look lighter and more natural. I know I get a few people who are shocked by just how much I don't pass... well, brushes are a mainstay.
Bringing out your inner beauty takes about 40 minutes if you're slow like I am... eyeliner is hell!



Now for the fun stuff!

Evening mask helps a lot with pores... while waiting for estrogen to do its thing... only have to use it every couple of weeks.

A clean face and clean tools are very important... always have a "fresh canvas".

I advocate brushes for a lighter appearance of the finished product.


A full coverage liquid foundation and some powder to set it.

Not necessary, but handy.... contouring pallet. You can do the same with lighter and darker shades of foundation.

Eyes in a couple nudes and a couple flashy colors.. lipstick dependant.



And never ever forget your eyebrow pencil! That's a lame picture so meh... you'll see one at the store... toss it in a bag with a mirror and a couple towels to wipe brushes and you're set!
