Face of the Day #2

Today I had enough time before class to play around with my makeup and make myself look presentable so I decided to show you guys what I came up with. This is a pretty neutral, peachy toned look that I've recently really enjoyed wearing. Most days I enjoy wearing a full on red or purple or bright fuchsia lip color, but not every day. So this is how I rock a more neutral look.

 First of all, here's an awkward picture of my face and then one of all the products I used!





For my base I just use the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer in "Fair" under my eyes then my MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in "NC 15" on my blemishes and any other redness. I finished it off with a dusting of the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder and that was that.

For my eyes  I have the MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in "Vintage Selection". I used this as an allover color on my eyelids. This is a new product for me, as in I've owned it three days, and I'm completely in love. It's a gorgeous peachy taupe color that I especially love wearing with a pink or peach lip.



After that was done I used two colors from this Smashbox Photo Op Eye Enhancing Brown Eyes Palette. I used the purplish taupe color from the front left in my crease, then I used the light color right above it as a highlight both on my brow bone and the inner corner.




I finished my eyes off with my MAC In Extra Dimension Lash Mascara. Then I moved on to my cheeks. I decided on a peachy shade that was actually limited edition. It's MAC's blush in "Immortal Flower". It's a nice color but it's really sheer so I built it up quite a bit.




To finish off my look I just wanted a simple lip so I went with my new Maybelline Color Whisper Lip Balm in "Pin Up Peach". If you want to see swatches of this one refer to my most recent post!

































So there ya go. This is my version of an easy, neutral, yet polished look. Cue my slightly awkward facial expression.



I hope everyone is having a nice Wednesday!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! To all my fellow single people out there, remember that tomorrow isn't just about romantic love. Just tell your friends and family that you love them and eat a bunch of chocolate, I know that's my plan. Oh and a lot of cuddling with my puppy. 

Talk to you soon! :)
