There seems to be a sudden revival of the Face of the Day/Night here on Colliding Interests, hasn't there? Blame it entirely on the 'moving to another country' bit, but I've been going out a lot. And with the going out comes a plethora of other things - good food, actually using my fancy clothes and jewelry and of course the makeup!
I went back to an old Foundation Combination of mine - the Chanel Vita Lumier Aqua mixed in with the Giorgio Armani Luminous silk. I've posted about it here, but let me tell you, it is some seriously amazing stuff. Since it pretty much conceals everything that needs to be concealed in my case, I just dabbed a bit more of the Luminous Silk mixed with the Maybelline Dream Touch Lumi under my eyes, on my chin etc to add a bit more coverage, and highlight those areas ever so slightly. I dusted a bit of the Kryolan Anti Shine Translucent Powder just to set the highlight (precision powdering people!).
For the rest of my face, I used a combination of the Inglot 357 Matte (contour), MAC's Lustre Drops in Sun Rush and the Clinique Cheek Pop in Berry Pop. These are finally out in India, btw, at INR 2100 - ridiculous!
Onto the eyes. I finally got my hands on the Clinique Eyeshadow in Black Honey, which I used all over the lid, and a bit of the Kiko Eyeshadow Stick in 6 in the inner corners. I smoked things out and lined my lashline with Makeup Geek's Corrupt and used a boatload of the Maybelline HyperCurl Waterproof Mascara.
For the lips - this is a bit of a confused one. So, I started out with L'oreal Matte Moisture Lipstick in Lincoln Rose, but I didn't like the way it looked with Black Honey, so I added a bit of the WetnWild Mauve Outta Here on top of that, and suddenly things came together, I feel.
Also featured in this post is my new haircut - I went shorter, woot!
So, what do you guys think?
P.S. Two weeks to England! *runs off to panic*
Berry pop looks amazing on you but yeah the price is way too high!!!! its almost double! didnt know Black Honey was available in india? I saw it on a blog few months back and totally fell for it! from where did you pick it up?
ReplyDeleteSeriously. I was seriously considering getting another one, but I will not pay that much for it. Pffffft.
DeleteBlack Honey is! It wasn't for a long long time, but I think they got it a while back. I just picked it up from the Clinique at the Lifestyle near me. Ridiculously excited to use it.
Oh and, its not similar to MAC's Antiqued at all!
Oh yes! I have MAC antiqued and its nothing like black honey! will definitely check out next time I am at shoppers stop :D
DeleteHaha yay, while you're there, look at the Olive in my Martini or whatever its called. Its so prettyyy!
DeleteBlack Honey looks so brown on me, I can't seem to make it work :/
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try Kryolan products for a while now, but can't seem to find them anywhere. ~oh well!~
I've heard the GA foundation is similar to Laura Mercier's new foundation! I also tried the Hourglass one and gahhhhhh SO MUCH LOVE. I'm so torn :(
Kryolan is available in Bangalore! I forgot where. But Google to the rescue!
DeleteI can vouch for the GA one, not sure about the others. Which one matches better?
Black honey - outer V?
