EOTD: Monday April 6 2009

This is titled "EOTD" and not "FOTD" because I forgot to take pix of the rest of my face. Actually, I don't remember what I used for blush. Used Everyday Minerals Sweet Almond Foundation and Abbott's Perk Me Up Concealer, if you're curious. I have pix of the lip products, but not pix of the lips.

The one word that came to mind with this EOTD was "romantic." It's such a soft, frosty, lovely look. But super simple!

Eye products:
Nars Eyeshadow duo in Elisa
Prestige Eyeshadow in Love
Covergirl Outlast liner in Onyx
Maybelline Volum' Express Turbo Boost Mascara in Very Black

Apply the Nars blue shade to the inner 2/3 of the lid. Prestige Love to the outer 1/3 and blend those two together. Apply the Nars purple shade to the highlight and the the center of your lid (on top of the ball of your eyeball, eww gross. I hope you understand what I mean.) Line lashes with the CG liner. Apply Prestiege Love over that on the outer 2/3. Nars blue shade to the inner 1/2 and blend the two together. Apply mascara.

Lip Products:
Nyx round lipstick in Georgia
ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine in Angel

FOTD: Monday Dec 22

This is a pretty pic heavy post, more so than usual. I have pics of all the makeup I used, then pics of my face, then pics of my face outdoors, because it was finally sunny and I wanted to show what I look like in REAL light. Then pics of my hair for today. Because I thought it looked cool.

First I'll show the hair. Isn't the color great??? (Blue Mayhem by Special Effects) I put my hair in a ponytail and braided it. Then I pinned it up in a bun. Results:



Now for the makeup photos:
Let's start with the face. I was trying to go with more minimal coverage today, so I just used ELF concealer where necessary and then followed with Rimmel Stay Matte powder all over.

I really can't do this everyday. I have some FOTDs for days that I did it and I really shouldn't have. Those are days when I don't put up full face photos. :-)

Next on the face, I used Wet'n'Wild MegaGlo Illuminating Powder in Catwalk Pink. The dark half for contouring and the bright half for highlighting. Sometimes I just swirl them together and brush it all over my cheeks. Anyway, then I topped it with ELF blush in Glow. My favorite of the ELF blushes. I went rather light on both of these products



Now for the eyes. It was a simple eye day. I swept Prestige eyeshadow in Love (pink) all over the lids and then highlighted with the Physician's Formula Highlighter (the cameo pendant) on the brow bone and inner corner. I lined my lashline (upper and lower) with a silver Wet'n'Wild pencil. Lastly, a sweep of the Jane mascara on my upper and lower lashes (only one quick sweep on the lower lashes. I don't like putting too much mascara there on a normal day).




Lippie time:
Again, very simple. I put Rimmel Volume Booster Primer all over my lips and followed with Cover Girl Wet Slicks Fruit Sprizter in Stawberry. I love how my lips looks. Hit of color and hint of shimmer.




Now for full face photos! My skin was in quite a good mood today, I am pleased to say.

Looking fresh faced and natural today!
