I thought it might be helpful to list the products that I use in making Micki. I included links to the page or post where I give details on their use. I am not compensated or connected with any of the companies in any way.

Please note that I may or may not currently be using any particular product as I constantly experiment. Foundation makeup is a good example where I switch between cream and powder depending on different factors. Many times I will see a video demonstration that motivates me to experiment. If I like the results its my new favorite until the next successful experiment.

The products are listed in the order I use them starting with my daily skin care routine. It is important to create the best surface possible so your foundation looks flawless every time.

Surface preparation is crucial for any project where beauty is the end goal. When refinishing a wooden table the best varnish in the world is useless on a weather beaten surface. Preparing the surface by sanding smooth prior to the varnish gets the best outcome. Your face is no different which is what I use the system below.

Daily scrubbing in the shower with DEEP CLEAN.
Twice a week exfoliating in the shower with ZO SKIN
Daily application of CORIUM 21 immediately after drying off from shower.
If I going to be in the sunlight LA ROCHE-POSAY sunscreen.

When I start the Micki Makeup Process I:

Wipe my face with a clean wet hot towel to remove surface dirt.
Apply a coat of CORIUM 21 all over my face.
Draw the rough shape of my eyebrows with ANASTASIA BROW POMADE So I know where I need to tape.

4. Using 99% pure alcohol and I cotton ball I wipe the area above my eyes. That is where I will put tape to create a feminine arch for my brows.

5. Using the NEW SKIN on my finger I coat the area I wiped with alcohol. This minimizes perspiration and makes the tape hold without lifting. When the NEW SKIN has dried I cut a 2 inch piece of the 3M BLENDERM tape. I attach it about an inch above my eye to form the top of my arch.

6. The next step lining in between my eyelashes with PRIMELASH mascara to give the artificial lashes more depth.

7. I line the area above my lashes with a generous coat of i.ENVEY MAGNETIC EYELINER with extra on the corners. I quit using the liner that comes with the lashes because it is crap and usually dried up so can’t be used. I purchased the i.ENVY from Sephora and it lasts about a year using it twice a month on average.

8. I use the DUOERLA MAGNETIC lashes from Amazon but throw their liner away.
