Face of the Day - Emerald Eyeshadow

Monday, December 1, 2014

Hello beauties!

Last night I posted a picture on my Instagram on a look I did on myself for a night out, and although I  quickly listed the products I used in the caption, I decided to make a blog post and go a little more in depth. I usually stick to my neutral colors, but that night I decided to be a bit more daring and step a little out of my comfort zone.




Face:
I always start off by moisturizing my face, so I used the Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer. For primer I have been loving the Pixi Flawless and Poreless. I wanted my face to appear flawless and picture ready, so I applied my tried and true Makeup Forever HD Invisible Cover Foundation in the shade 153 Golden Honey. For concealer, I mixed L.A. Girl Concealer in Medium Beige, with NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard- I applied this in patting motions in an "upside down triangle" shape under my eyes, instead of just blending it in to achieve maximum coverage and smoother finish. To set that concealer, and to add highlight and contour to my face, I used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit. On the cheeks- Warm Soul by MAC, and the highlight for my cheekbones is the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Opal. Hourglass Ambient lighting Powder in Dim Light to further set, and to really make my skin look amazing.

Eyes:
UD Eyeshadow Primer Potion in original for my eyelid primer. To highlight under my brow bone I used MAC eyeshadow in Brule. Soft Brown by MAC was used as a transition color, and I applied it into my crease, and a little bit above it. Milani eyeshadow in Bella Emerald was used all over the lid. I first applied it dry and decided to intensify the color by spraying my flat shader brush with a little bit of Fix +. For the outer corner I went into my Amrezy Palette and used LBD and Legend for my inner corner. For my brows I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Dark Brown. Inglot 77 gel liner, Cargo Picture Perfect HD Mascara, and Ardell Glamour lashes in 102.

Lips:
Instead of applying lipstick, I opted to just line and fill my lips in with Spice Lip Pencil by MAC, and on top of that I used Rambutan Lush Fruit Lip Gloss by Bite Beauty.

I should have taken more pictures, but as you can see, I had my coat on ready to go! Is this something you would like to see more of? Perhaps in pictorial form showing step by step? Please let me know down below!
