I primed with Missha BB Boom and smoothed on Estee Lauder DayWear BB Cream SPF35 in 01 Light. I love this BB cream - it's got a slight yellow tone, is very moisturizing, and has an excellent SPF. It also doesn't settle into pores and fine lines. I concealed with Kiko Milano Soft Focus Concealer 01 and set my base makeup with Suqqu Nuancing Loose Powder in Natural.
I applied Ellis Faas Milky Eyes E209, a pale yellow beige, as an all-over base, and shaded and contoured my lid and crease with Inglot Pearl Eye Shadow 420, a cool violet colour. I lined my eyes with NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner Rue Saint-Honore, a deep, royal blue colour. I finished with two coats of a new mascara, Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero Smudge Volume+Lift Mascara in 01 Black - it curls, lengthens, volumizes, and doesn't budge. It's much gentler on your lashes than a waterproof formula, and it's a great choice unless you're actually going for a swim. I filled in my brows with Blink Eyebrow Pencil in Indian Chocolate.
To add warmth, I applied NARS Laguna Bronzer. I blushed my cheeks with Ellis Faas Blush S304, a deep cranberry shade. You only need the very tiniest bit of this blush - it is amazingly concentrated. If you are NC40+, you will adore this blush. Paler folks will need to be very careful in order to avoid clown cheeks.
Hope you liked today's look and thank you for reading!
Jamilla,

The cooler toned lip color is gorgeous!! It reminds me a lot of the upcoming spring colors. ;]
ReplyDeleteI have cranberry blushes and I agree...so pigmented that when too much it applied, I look sunburned! :3 It looks lovely on you.
I have never heard of Elli Faas before. Learning a lot from here. The blush has a nice tone.

ReplyDeleteWowww this mascara sounds great! So glad you both were not disappointed even if Mai found the wand a bit long!
ReplyDeleteI haven't had much success with drugstore mascaras but then I suppose I haven't given them much of a chance. Maybe its time to try :3
