Getting Glam

Remember how magazines used to have quizzes?  I used to love taking them.  Now Revlon has a fun new PS (Personal Style) app where you can determine your “style personality” based upon your mood.  Ir’s pretty cool – think “Choose Your Own Adventure” meets video.  As the video plays, you answer questions along the way.  I took it a few weeks ago and mine came up as “glam.”  I have to tell you – I was certain that it would give me “classic,” but happily surprised to see “glam” pop up.  I think it’s because of my penchant for bright lips and lash extensions.

I set out to create my “glam” using Revlon Nearly NakedTM foundation + powder.  As I typically don’t wear a lot of makeup on my face, I always find that using foundation makes the extra difference in terms of adding just a bit more polish to my look.  I like this foundation a lot because it isn’t very heavy and gives a more natural look.

Revlon-Nearly-Naked
To get my look, I applied just a few drops of Revlon Nearly NakedTM foundation to my face.  I dotted it on along my t-zone and cheeks, and then blended outward using my fingers.  From there, I used a brush to apply the Revlon Nearly NakedTM powder.

After that, I just swept on a few (okay more than a few) coats of mascara, added a touch of black liner, and a cherry lip gloss… and voila… ready to go!  I liked feeling “glam” for once… I think I’m going to do this more often!

    I’ve always been a less-is-more kind of girl when it comes to makeup. I didn’t know about Revlon’s Nearly Naked line until now. Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to add their products to my next drugstore haul.
