    College Graduation Pics

    I am taking graduation pictures on Monday. I have TONS of makeup (mostly MAC & Make Up For Ever) and I don't know what to do! I know that I can't wear eye shadow that is too shimmery. Do I nix my bronzer? Or blush? I use this MAC powder to contour my cheeks. Would that be too much? Lip gloss...

    I have TONS of eye shadow. Teal, emerald green, purple, you name it, I got it! The thing is, sometimes I feel like I don't look professional.

    I had the best experience at MAC today!

    I went to MAC today to find a foundation that leaves my skin dewy. I'm tired of the SF Fluid. I ended up getting Mineralize Satin Finish in NC50. It's awesome!
