I dont have an "everyday" look, because everyday i'm in a different mood, there's a different outfit and a different occasion. but for a "wearable" daily look I run to:
Smashbox Foundation Primer, Stila Perfecting Concealer in i/j, Stila Oil Free Natural Finish FDTN in i/j, CARGO blush in Sonoma, NARS e/s in Key Largo(over UDPP), UD 24/7 glide-on eye pencil in Zero, and BadGal lash or NARS Mascara, with DiorKiss in Praline on the lips.

I got it as a gratis, which possibly means it was limited or we're no longer carrying it. And I dont see it online anymore, so yeah it's probably d/c.

Just yesterday, I did a cool eye of the day with Stila SP in black and MAC Blue Brown pigment followed with black mascara. Too easy:
Stila SP on lid as base and BB pigment on top of SP and blended and more BB in crease blended upwars towards brow. Lashings of mascara on curled lashes. The BB went all beautiful beetle on top of the black SP and it's gorgeus reddy brown self when placed on the eye areas without the Smudge Pot as base. It was crazy how easy this was and so pretty. It wore really nicely too, I might add.

A quick 10 minute face for a monochrome or neutral look
The majority of my makeup is MAC, but since joining SPECKTRA, I’ve incorporated some other eye colors and blushes into my collection – namely Fyrinnae ES and NARS blushes. [I live in a small town and the local mall overwhelmingly caters to white women – when asking for help, never got it.]
This is not my “everyday” face, but this is a face I wear when I need to get out the door fast and don’t have time to coordinate anything. Also, this is a face I wear a lot on the weekends – It takes me 10 minutes to do and it goes w/anything I might pull out the closet to wear.
FACE:
Select coverup concealer
MAC Dark Natural MSF
Fyrinnae “Magenta Gaunlets?” or “Dragon’s Blood” eye shadow – Use for blush (Porcelain Pink or Glissade MSF to highlight)
Dark blot powder
EYE:
UDPP
Improper Copper CCB as a base
Fyrinnae “Magenta Gaunlets?” or “Dragon’s Blood” eye shadow - crease
MAC “Dazzlelight” eyeshadow for lid and brow
Blacktrack Fluidline
Prescriptives “false eyelashes” mascara
If I have the time, I’ll add these colors to the outer V for some depth: plumage or wait til dark or blu noir or embark or sketch eyeshadows or deep blue green pigment.
LIPS:
Prescriptives Meteor gloss or MAC Ornamental lustreglass, or Polish Me Pink or Autobody Red lip varnish or Chance Encounter or Pure Vanity lipglass.
This is more of a monochrome look and is as “neutral” as I’ll go….Every night I plan my face palette for the next day for work. I would get bored real quick if I wore the same colors everyday!
