“There is no royal flower-strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it for I have accomplished anything in life it is because I have been willing to work hard.” _Madam CJ Walker

I get asked a lot watch I have on makeup I’m wearing. I often response with “Girl a whole lot.” I’m going to share in this post the what I’m wearing question.

I begin by spraying my face with Mario Badescu facial spray with aloe, herbs and rosewater. I use this to wake my skin up. I apply M.A.C. prep + prime moisture infusion serum and 24 hour comfort cream to moisturize. I then do my eyebrows.

I use a Wet N Wild color icon kohl eyeliner in simma brown now (603A) to shape my eyebrows. I use shade lighter than my skin tone to clean up and highlight the bottom of my eyebrow. The one I use is L.A.Girl Pro conceal in a color fawn. For the top of the eyebrow I use a color that more closely matches my skin tone. I use L.A.Girl Pro conceal in the color toast. I used e.l.f. eyeliner brush for the top and bottom eyebrow clean up.

I correct my dark spots with L.A.Girl Pro conceal in the color orange. I then apply foundation. I use L’Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous in the color nut brown cocoa (C7-8). Followed up with M.A.C. Pro longwear concealer in shade NC50. I use the Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge to apply the longwear concealer in the same places I applied the orange color corrected.

Because I love a matte look I set my face with Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder in medium deep.

After setting my face I then highlight and contour. I use is L.A.Girl Pro conceal in a color fawn. to highlight applied with a damp Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge. The highlight is set with a mix of Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder in medium deep and natural finish applied with a damp Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge. I then layer three products to contour. The darkest shade from e.l.f. cream contour palette, Black Radiance press power in rich mahogany and M.A.C. cosmetics blush in the color sketch.

On the apple of the cheeks I use my go to blush in color violet from e.l.f.’s aqua beauty blush & bronzer set with a little of Becca’s luminous blush in color Dahlia layered on top.

I then focus on the eyes. For eyeliner I use either blacktrack by M.A.C., tattoo liner by Kat Von D or Marc Jacobs Beauty gel eye crayon liner. Recently I’ve been obsessed with lashes. Mainly bottom lashes. I’ve been using a combination of 5 mascaras at once to get my eyelash look. I use mainly Make Up For Ever Smoky Extravagant Mascara, Revlon ultimate all-in-one mascara and Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real! Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara and whatever mascaras that are in arms reach. When going to events I add a lash strip to the top lash.

Highlighting is currently the hotness makeup application around. I am in love with Make Up For Ever’s Pro Light Fusion Highlighter in color golden pink. When I tell you it takes me to my happy place, It does! I also use M.A.C. mineralize skinfinish in the color gold deposit, La Bronze or NARS highlighting blush powder in the color albatross. Lastly I spray my whole face with prep + prime fix+ by M.A.C. to set and seal the make up look for the day.

I know it seems like a lot. Once you gone down the make up rabbit hole it’s not, lol. There are a lot of makeup products I “should” add to my makeup process but as if yet this is it.

Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder in MEDIUM DEEP

February 21, 2017February 9, 2018Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, LIFESTYLETagged brownbeautyblogger, Chicago Blogger, Chicago Plus Size Blogger, chicagobeautyblogger, fashion & beauty, FASHION WEEK, Laura Mercier, makeup, makeup brush, Medium Deep, mommy blogger, the makeup show, the makeupshow Chicago, thefatgirloffashion, Translucent12 Comments

“Change only what you can’t live with, but try to accept who you are, and say yes to what makes you unique. Your confidence will make you sexier than any beauty product or accessory you could possibly buy.”

_ Laura Mercier

I’ve said this before and I’ll say this again I’m not an MUA nor have I ever claimed to be one. I’m just a regular degular shmegular girl who has a real love for makeup. With that being said I love love love Laura Mercier’s translucent loose setting powder. I was always a fan of the translucent loose setting powder but now the brand has added a new shade called Medium Deep. This setting powder is a silky, lightweight setting powder with a touch of sheer coverage offering a matte finish. This medium deep tone oil-free, non-comedogenic, non-caking, dermatologically tested power can only be called a makeup blessing for darker tone makeup junkies like myself.

Laura Mercier’s translucent loose setting powder has long been a fan favorite. To me, it’s the best of the best. The medium deep shade for me works just as good as the original. When a brand tries to expand its range quality can be lost in that expansion. That’s not the case with this power. It still goes on evenly and feels like it melts into the skin. It blends without adding weight or texture while providing great wear.`

Now let’s talk color. Translucent loose setting powder in Medium Deep was designed for medium deep to the very deepest skin tones. With the original shade would cause at times flashback or a gray shadow of darker tone skin people. The medium deep colored power know gives darker tones a translucent finish. Laura Mercier brand recommends applying with the velour puff (sold separately). Only the 0.33 oz size /travel size of translucent powder comes with the velour puff. I use a large fluffy brush.

I’m really in LOVE with the new shade. The Translucent loose setting powder in Medium Deep works great for my skin tone. It’s really easy to apply and doesn’t add weight to overall makeup application. The current available is limited. I was very lucky to get my hands on this powdery gold. Also the medium deep is not currently sold in the 0.33 oz size /travel size.

Setting powders controls and reduces shine.

It’s lightweight and does not look cakey on skin.

Help absorbs excess oil.

Brown beauties will you be trying the medium deep Laura Mercier’s translucent loose setting powder?

SPEND OR SAVE : Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner

February 16, 2017April 13, 2024Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTYTagged brownbeautyblogger, chicagobeautyblogger, FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION WEEK, LIFESTYLE, makeup, makeup brush, plus size fashion, REVIEWS, the makeup show, the makeupshow Chicago, thefatgirloffashionLeave a comment

“Eyes are everything to me. I have no problem with the rest of the face. I just think eyes are so expressive. You can say a lot with your eyes. The eyes stimulate the other person’s imagination.”

_ Mac Jacobs

I’m not an MUA nor have I ever claimed to be one. Now that you know I’m just a regular degular shmegular girl who has a real love for makeup you’ll really like this Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner review.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner says it offers a waterproof bold & intense color in a matte finish for extreme wear. It’s being said to be a gel pot eyeliner encased within a crayon. First of it’s kind, an exclusive to Marc Jacobs Beauty. The brand says the eyeliner should sit in place for an 12-hour wear. The eyeliner has a built in sharper to help keep a perfect point for a precise look.

The matte finish is prefect for a person who wants a glitter-free and super-rich pigment. They don’t dry instantly. It does take roughly 15 seconds to dry. That’s good because that gives you time to play with your look before the highlighter settles. Or it could be a bad thing because the product could shift on accident. I like that it’s a waterproof gel formula. I also like that it has a built in sharpener however, if you forget to reattach it the sharpener could be lost.

The Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner can be purchased at marcjacobsbeauty.com or sephora.com. I would say at $25 save your money. Mac Jacobs Beauty Highliner sized at 0.01 oz compared to MAC’s pro longwear fluidline at 0.1 oz for $8 less can’t compare to a pot gel liner. Yes, the pencil is very convenient and has a super fast drying time. I can see myself taking this with me to the lobby of a chic hotel as Marc envisioned. The brand’s claim to be long wearing is very true! The major perks of the highliner is the sharpener to keep the point sharp. It really does help in getting that crisp line we all love. The application was great and I loved how the pencil looked on me. It’s the price I can’t get past. If they dropped the sharpener and shorten the pencil a little maybe Marc could get the cost at $15 maybe. If you’re a Marc Jacobs Beauty fan this gel eye crayon will be worth every penny.

Highliner takes about 15 seconds to set, so if you work quickly with a small smudging brush, you can create an instant smoky eye.

Pictured wearing MIST ME. Brighten and enlarge eyes by applying a lighter color at the inner corners of the eyes and along the waterline.

Layer it under eyeshadow to create dimensional color.

To sharpen pop out the black sharpener and twist the tip of highliner the sharpen.

Will you be spending or saving on Marc Jacobs Beauty Highliner Matte Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner?

HOW I WORE A DRESS AS A TOP

Being a black female blogger from Chicago my influence reaches many demographic. The blog thefatgirloffashion has been bubbling under the surface for years. As a Generation X kids I’m a products of shifting social norms. With my mom having to work to support 3 children I was left to make many choices for myself and my younger siblings. You can say they were the first group to fall under my influence, lol. I can remember watching MTV and dancing in the mirror. Or sitting in front of my television on Thursday nights and wishing I could be a Cosby kid. They call people in my age range “Xers” to refer to an unknown variable or our desire not to be defined. However, At some point we’ll all have to check a box or two. That still doesn’t mean we have to be pigeonholed just because of some label. And it’s the same with clothes.

Like people clothes don’t have to pigeonholed on a specific label. A dress is just a top waiting to happen. I took a gray bodycon dress and tucked it into a pair of my favorite jeans to turn this summer staple into a form fitting top. This is great to maximize your clothes. I also took this swimsuit cover up and paired with this causal look as a duster. This adds a little extra pop of color to this monochromatic look with the flowers. The duster also adds a flowy element to fitted look of the top and jeans. Thinking outside of the box a little allows me away to bring some of my favorite summer pieces to colder months seamlessly.

I hope this little tips can help anyone who has favorite pieces that they don’t want to wait and wear. Plus this can save us a few coins so we can go to fun events plus size events like theCurvycon.

7 Plus Size Bloggers say “I’m A Carefree Fat Girl”

January 28, 2017April 13, 2024Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTY, LIFESTYLETagged Dating, FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION WEEK, LIFESTYLE, makeup, mental health, plus size fashion, self love, thefatgirloffashion20 Comments

Last week I spoke about what it takes to be a carefree fat girl. I got so much support from my readers. Of course my Chicago people reached out however, I had some many other ladies comment on Instagram, twitter and Facebook saying how they wish they could live a more carefree life. In the age of social media bullying it can be hard to grow your self confidence. And sadly easier to have it torn down.

I reached out to a few plus size bloggers who with their style and personal mission are living life carefree. Beside me telling you to block fat-shamers on social media or attending the theCurvyCon these ladies will offer you other options to a carefree fat life.

“I’m a carefree fat girl because I value me, the mental and physical. The opposite of carefree is anxious and careful. Hunny, when I step onto the scene, adorned in whatever, I’m confident and very much so unapologetic.” Leah of beautyandthemuse.net

Chasi of sweatinmascara.com “I’m an athlete and I do not wait on others to validate my passion for fitness. I love dance and I teach it passionately regardless of the size stereotypes and that makes me a carefree fat girl.”

“I think you’re a carefree fat girl when you’ve created your own lane in plus size fashion and you can see that the success of other fat girls doesn’t represent your own failure. When you can lift others up and instead of tear others down, you’re truly carefree!” Alysse of readytostare.com

Ashley “I know I’m a care free fat girl because I live by my own set of rules! No matter what anyone says about my weight, my clothes, my size, my aspirations…I do whatever makes me happy and feels good to my soul!”

“To be a carefree fat girl you have to live and walk in your purpose apologetically. You can’t spend your days trying to fit your large frame in the world’s narrow view of beauty. Don’t let your weight decide what you can and cannot do. Dance as a fat girl, love as a fat girl, and live as a fat girl!” Faith.

Darlene of suitsheelsandcurves.com “If you can look at yourself naked and smile at every curve, mark. lump and bump then you are a carefree fat girl.”

I want to thank all the ladies again for offering their feelings on what it takes to be a carefree fat girl. As you can see each has their on approach to happiness. Personal joy can be achieved in many different ways. Be sure too follow all of these influencers on social media for encouragement and style inspiration.

MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam 2017

Since 1994, 100 percent of the proceeds from the purchase of any MAC Viva Glam product has gone to the MAC AIDS Fund. The fund works to bridge the grab between poverty and HIV/AIDS. They work international providing services to those living with the illness. On February 2 Taraji P. Henson and her Empire costar Jussie Smollett will be the latest faces of MAC’s Viva Glam campaign.

Taraji P. Henson launched a small capsule collection #MacTaraji with MAC Cosmetics last year. I was able to review the #MacTaraji collection before it sold out. The collection sold out so fast that Taraji’s own mother couldn’t get her hands on it. I’m sure Mac is hoping for the same success with the 2017 Viva Glam collection.

The two join previous campaign’s famous faces, like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Nicki Minaj. Jussie is the first male face of the Viva Campaign. He joins the likes of RuPaul, Boy George, Sir Elton John and Ricky Martin.

In an unprecedented move Mac Cosmetic is used a tube of lipstick to directly confront and raise money and awareness for AIDS at a time when the pandemic dramatically affected the fashion makeup communities, and was greatly stigmatized as a gay disease. 22 years later the lipstick with a mission started by Frank Angelo and Frank Toskan is one of the most sought after annually.

I think this year’s berry-red hue will looks great on everyone! Will you be picking up the lipstick? the lipglass? both?

Jealous Of My Future Self

January 18, 2017March 12, 2017Posted in FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION & BEAUTYTagged brownbeautyblogger, Chicago, Chicago Blogger, Chicago Plus Size Blogger, chicagobeautyblogger, dress, FASHION & BEAUTY, FASHION WEEK, LIFESTYLE, makeup, mommy blogger, plus size, plus size fashion, thefatgirloffashion11 Comments

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side. We’ve all heard this before right?! We’ve been told repeatedly “People are never satisfied with their own situation; they always think others have it better.” However, thinking like that can make a girl complacent. Thinking like that can have a girl stuck. Sometime the grass on the other side is so green you can make your old self green with envy.

I’ve found myself thinking why not me. I then have to step back and remember what’s for me is for me. For now I have to take care of my own grass until I get to the other side. I have my own journey. I have my own testimony. I see people getting breaks I wish I had but I can’t envy them. I know I’ll never win that way. I must support my sisters whenever possible. I think that’s we as women trend to be jealous of what other women have. Focusing on what other’s have will make you lose track of all the blessings you already have. I can only jealous of my future self because that girl is truly living the life I want.

To get ready for our future selves we must work on the current us. However we see our future self we have to work hard to get ourselves there. If you want to make more money. Look for a new job that pays more or go back to school for a degree. If you want to loss weight start working out or skip that late night snack. If you want to meet new people start going out more. Start being jealous of your future self! But let’s not forget to support others on our journey to our future selves. Compliment the girl at work when you notices she spent a little more time of her makeup. Tell the lady on the train her hair looks nice when you see she’s done something different with her hair. When you see me on the gram double tap a playa’s pic, lol. Your future self will thank you for it!
