Face And Outfit Of The Day

Yesterday we celebrated the bf's birthday. None of us where in the mood to get completely dressed up and spent most of the day brunching and watching The A-Team at the cinemas (highly recommend as it wasn't just an action movie, but also included alot of funny lines and shirtless guys ha ha).

At night we went to dinner with family and here's what I wore:

I bought these items back in April, so not all items will be available. The top from Forever 21 is actually a sweater like material and from the Alice In Wonderland collection.

It's so soft and probably one of my favorite wardrobe items of the moment.

The earrings are from Forever 21 and I didn't really accessorize with anything else aside from a black clutch.

I was running very late and only used liner (upper and lower) and mascara.

On my FACE I used:
-Revlon Colorstay Foundation
-Coastal Scents Camo quad (in Medium) for my under eye circles
-Benefit Moon Beam on my upper cheekbones, cupids bow, browbone and nose
-Maybeline pressed powder
-Estee Lauder brow pencil
-Anastasia Brow Wax pencil in Clear
-Mac Technakohl liner in Graphblack
-Rimmel profesional liquid liner
-NYC Moisaic powder blush
-NYX Dolly Pink lipgloss

NYX Dolly Pink is one of my favorite glosses and I'm so happy I picked it up! It's highly pigmented for a gloss and can even be layered to look darker. It's a hot pink that's very wearable, even for those - like me - who shy away from bright lips.

Lady Gaga Make Up Tutorial

Here are make up products you can use to recreate Lady Gaga's look at the 2010 Grammy's.

New Smashbox Lip Techs + Runway Look

I saw this video and was instantly drooling over everything used! From the brushes, to the blush and of course, new Smashbox Lip Techs.

"The Spring runways were all about softly stained, satin-matte lips. Lori Taylor shows us how to get this ultra-feminine, romantic look in just a few simple steps using our amazing new Lip Tech."- Smashbox.com

Here's the runway inspired look from Smashbox cosmetics. Below I highlighted the products I'm dying to get my hands on after seeing this video.

The products used where the 2 eyeshadows in Shell and Oyster: 2 lovely golden and pink pearl shades that instantly brighten the lids and reflect light.

Then there's  this "arced" liner brush #21 ($20) which was used with a cream/gel liner in black. This brush was designed so you can flawlessly apply liner to the top lashline AND lower waterline too. Genius.

After applying mascara, Lip Tech in Sangria was used. This is a semi matte, glide on flush of lip color, which isn't exactly a lipstick nor gloss. It's supposed to give the look of just bitten lips. Aside from the mirror, it comes with a special silicone applicator, that prevents color from soaking into the brush, allowing you to layer more. And it contains Vitamin E.

A fan brush was used to apply some Baked Fusion Softlights in Stardust to cheekbones, and a deep blush. I'm loving the idea of using the fanbrush (#22) for just the right placement and amount of blush.

Tutorial: Kate Moss

Here's a sexy glamourous tutorial for the look Kate Moss was seen wearing in the YSL Parisienne advertisment. It's a COLOURED cat eye- I've been trying to do a cat eye using eye shadows for ages.

Make Those Brown Eyes Pop!

Make your eyes stand out with this colorful eyeshadow tutorial.

 Click here to buy products  used.

The best eyeshadow colors for making brown eyes standout are those that are opposite of brown on the color wheel :

• purple
• teal
• green
• silvers.

More makeup tips for brown eyed girls:

• If your eyes are hazel instead of deep brown, make them look almost green by wearing green eyeshadow
• Stay away from yellow eyeshadow as it brings out the yellow in some brown eyes
• Applying blue eyeliner in the waterline adds nice contrast to the eyes and makes the whites of your eyes even brighter
• Some brown eyed babes can wear pink eyeshadows, but the deeper or brighter pinks are a bit more flattering.
• Since many brown eyed babes also have brown or black hair, wearing brown eyeshadow can be too drab against the face. If you must wear brown eyeshadow, play up the lips with a brighter color.

Day time make up looks

If you're anything like me, the vibrant green, blue and/or yellow eyeshadow tutorials aren't appropriate for day time make up. It looks great on some, but on me it just looks overdone.

Happy to say I think I've found another ways to my do make up thanks to youtubers, with just a bit of make up.

For this first look *cute 60's pin up girl inspired make up* you'll need these for the eyes:
-black liner pencil.
-creamy skin tone shadow/cream.
-dark blue/metallic liner (don't worry, nothing too shocking).
-brush for smudging.



And this one *subtle smokey eye* (i think this is officially the easiest smokey eye tut ever!):
-brown metallic eye shadow.
-black eyeliner.
-pencil brush.
