Hey hey hay haaay!  It’s Laura, aka @guildedpalace, aka Swiss Miss.  I’m a classic Type-A Brand Manager, and thus, have condensed my makeup case post into two 3-point lists.  

The Cardinal Rules of the Case:  

1. All products must coordinate and look good when they are lined up.  If it doesn’t come in black, it doesn’t come home with me.
2. Never switch brands.  Ever.  I’ve been using the same mascara since I was 14 (no, literally, the SAME TUBE).*
3. Maintain the naked face.  Stick to liquids and creams, never powders. 

 The Exploding 3 Point Palm Technique: for the girl who likes to sleep in 

1. Flawless Base (1 minute): I mix MAC cream and liquid concealers with a little bit of the Bobbi Brown liquid foundation to get a product that disappears into my skin.  I find my hands are my best tools for fast and loose blending.   
2. Color Application (15 seconds): A quick brush of NARS Orgasm blush is all it takes to brighten up the face and create subtle bone structure. 
3. Da Wings (1 minute – Eternity): I love, love, love – as Celine Dion would say, I lerv – MAC’s Fluidline eyeliner.  Combine the precision of the 266 Angle Brush with Fluidline’s smooth, cream-like consistency and it’s a snap to create the perfect 60’s cat-eye wing in one stroke.   

 The 3 Point Palm Technique is dialed up to “Fancy” by the addition of sparkly brown eyeshadow. 

*Just kidding that’s disgusting.
