This is the makeup look I wore today. Not so exciting is it? LOL. I mentioned in previous FOTD that I'm currently into simple makeup looks with light eye makeup and bold lips. It's not that I don't want to play with eye shadows anymore, I'm just really liking how my eyes look without too much makeup and I play more on the lips by choosing a bright and bold lipstick or gloss.
For this look, I did a soft contouring on the eyes using MAC blush in Gingerly. This blush is my current favorite. It's light enough to be a blush and dark enough at the same time to be used as a contour shade. I then brightened my under eyes with a light concealer (Physicians Fomula Strength Rx in Soft Yellow). This is a bit tricky to pull off. You really must blend the concealer very well. I used a damp sponge to pat the concealer down until it blends onto the skin and slightly blend it down the cheekbones. I guess I should do a tutorial next time to show you how I do it. It makes my face look bright and awake. I defined my face by applying a bronzer (Milani Mosaic blush in Afterglow) under my cheekbones and the jaw line. I never skip this step. I like how it pops up my cheek bones and makes my face look slimmer.

For my lips, I first applied Wet n Wild Mega Last lipstick in 901B Think Pink. It's a soft pale nude pink. I was able to pull off this shade a month ago. I've gotten a bit darker, so now it looks pasty on me. To make it work, I topped it with NYX Round lipgloss in Doll Pink, which is a bright fuchsia with purple undertone. It looks much better.

hmmm I want to try the NyX doll pink lip gloss.. soo pretty!
ReplyDeleteReally cute lip colors. Think Pink plus Doll Pink remind me of MAC's Candy Yum Yum lipstick from the Quite Cute collection. The two shades of pink you put together would make a spot-on dupe for Candy Yum Yum. :D It's so pretty how you put together a simple eye look with bright, bold, and fun lip colors. :) As for the Gingerly blush, I like blush shades like that. Light enough for blush, yet dark enough for contouring. It makes a nice multi-purpose product. :)
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty:) I like this look!
