Another day... another bronzey eye, but WAIT... plot twist! Funky blue gradient bottom lash!
I've had these pictures saved as a draft for a pretty long time now - something just keeps stopping me from posting it - but ho hey, why not?
For base I used the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation in 7.5 - for some reason this foundation doesn't work on my skin the way it used to - I used to rave about how amazing it was, but now it just sits on my skin without sinking in - can you tell from the pictures? I followed it up with the MAC Prolongwear Concealer in NC42 and set everything in place with my Ben Nye Banana Powder - after wanting it for years, I can say, it does brighten - but I'm not a fan of how matte it leaves my skin, almost making my undereyes look a bit.. crapey.
For Bronzer, I used my Bobbi Brown Matte Bronzer in Dark and blended it to my cheeks. Because it's a reddish brown, it works very well as a subtle blush as well.
For my brows I used the same thing I've been using for over a year now and just it pan on; the Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade in Ebony.
For my eyes, I used MAC's Bronze eyeshadow all over the lid, and MAC's Woodwinked in the inner corners. As for the interesting bit, I used MAC's Chromographic Pencil in Hi-Def Cyan on my waterline and blended it below.. to top it off, I used Urban Decay Chaos (electric palette) and blended it out with Urban Decay Fringe. I then used Fringe to create a wing from the lower lashline upwards and add some definition to the upper lashline. L'oreal False Lash Architect 4 D Waterproof Mascara finished up the eyes rather nicely.
Finally, for lips, I used MAC's Twig lipstick.
I was rather pleased at how this came out, what do you think?
I love the pop of blue on the waterline! Loving the bobbi brown bronzer on you..need to try that next time!
ReplyDeleteOh, you should! However, I think Deep is a nicer colour to Dark.
DeleteThat pop of blue, so awesome! I have similar issues with the Ben Nye powder (I rather like the matte finish) but for my face I like to finish with a spritz of plain old rose water, and it turns into a lovely, luminous finish! (I have the Dabur one; the glycerine in it seems to help as a finishing spray!)
ReplyDeleteI like the Matte finish for under my eyes too! I've been using the NYX setting spray, but for some reason, it still looks crapey. Maybe I'm just getting old..
