FOTD - Kiko Milano Soft Touch Blush 104, Armani Eyes to Kill Excess Mascara No. 1 and Estee Lauder Pure Color Intense Kajal Eyeliner 05 Blackened Olive

 Today's FOTD is an eclectic blend of bronze, green, plum, and neutral shades using Kiko Milano Soft Touch Blush 104, Armani Eyes to Kill Excess Mascara No. 1 and Estee Lauder Pure Color Intense Kajal Eyeliner 05 Blackened Olive. I got the Armani mascara from British Airways on-board Duty Free, at 20% off the London price.

 It's been 3 weeks since I've been back from Hawaii, and I've faded quite a bit - I'm now wearing Armani Luminous Silk Foundation No. 5. On holiday, I was wearing Armani Designer Lift Foundation No. 6, two shades darker. I concealed with Maybelline FitMe Concealer No. 20 Sand, and applied a bit of Suqqu Nuancing Loose Powder in Natural to my t-zone. My skin is so dry now that I'm going to skip powder altogether for a couple of months! This is even though I primed with Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector in Invisible Bright and Estee Lauder Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator in Light-Medium.

 On my eyes, I'm wearing the Bronze, Brown, Forest Green and pale Blue shades from the RMK Ingenious Natural Eyes N 05 Palette. I applied the bronze to the lid, the brown at the outer corners of my eyes, the forest green to contour my crease, and the pale blue to highlight. In keeping with the green theme, I lined my eyes with Estee Lauder  Pure Color Intense Kajal Eyeliner 05 Blackened Olive. I absolutely love these pencil liners - they have deep, intense colours, yet are very creamy and stay put all day without migrating or fading.

 I'm also quite happy with the Armani Eyes to Kill Excess mascara. I was a bit underwhelmed by the regular Eyes to Kill Mascara, which caused my lashes to droop. This formula, however, adds length, volume, and curls your lashes. I couldn't ask for more - and you don't need to use a lot of product, either. A winner.

I blushed my cheeks with the plummy Kiko Milano Soft Touch Blush 104 - which has a LOT of colour payoff. In fact, I applied extra powder over the top to damp down the colour a bit. This formulation would be problematic for pale complexions, but if you are NC35 plus, this is a great blush for you.

I finished my look with Burberry Lip Mist No. 202 Copper, a soft Nude colour.

Hope you liked today's look and thank you for reading!
