Soooo, I had never heard of PRIDE weekend until a fellow friend and bloggist asked me to contribute to her PRIDE edition blog special. Apparently it is one of the biggest gay/lesbian/transgender weekends of the year!!! Its supposed to be going down (no pun intended) in about two weeks. So, I signed on in cohoots (is that how you spell that) with K. of www.thekword.com to bring you some looks for the BIG WEEKEND!!!!!!! Since, i want you to look your absolute best, I have a few choices for you and I'm listing all the products you'll need to acheive these looks.
SO HERE GOES NOTHING!!!!!
Apparently, there is a BIG POOL PARTY one day. I don't know how much makeup you chickadees will be wearing to a pool party, BUT I'm a dragqueen (ummm but i WAS born a female. lol) sooooo Im wearing Full ON Makeup EVERYWHERE.

PRODUCTS FOR LOOK ONE:
FACE:
M.A.C Oil Control Lotion
IMAN Under Cover Agent Oil Controlling Primer (you want as much oil control as humanly possible when you're out in the sun all day)
Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation in Bronze
M.A.C Billionaire Bronze Bronzing Stick for Contour
MAC Trace Gold Blush for hi-lite
M.A.C Studio Finish Concealer in NW40 (to conceal dark circles)
NYX Copper Blush on apples of the cheek
M.A.C Blot Powder to set foundation (this can also be layered all day to stop shine and oil control, it is translucent there for it doesn't distribute pigment to the skin.)

FUN FACT: If you aren't good with eyeshadows, LASHES can add drama to your look and you can omit the eyeshadow portion. My favorite brands of lashes are KISS, M.A.C, NYX, and Red Cherry!!!!!
