Today's Look

My allergies are giving me a run for my money today. Nevertheless, here's a look that's simple, but still infallible.

 

Were working with 3 products only. A prominent purple gloss by Sephora.

 

 

Illuminator for underneath the eyes, by Bare Minerals

 

 

Eyebrow definer by NYX

Red Lips

Every girl's got a focal point to her look. What do I mean? Well...





 

Oh, hello nostril.

I'll let you guys guess what my focal point is.

When people look at you, what do you want them to see?

That's what I'm here to talk about today. Whether the largest/most striking and/or awesomest part of your face is your lips or your eyes or your cheek bones or your Spock eyebrows, you need to know how to work with what you got.

I've had big lips for as long as I can remember. Here are some pictures of me on a regular day with my staple--red lipstick. This is a "nothing special" look. No illuminators or concealers or eyebrow definer is used.



 

For inquiring minds, the lipstick I'm using is Bordeaux by Rimmel.

 

 

The lip liner I'm using is Ulta brand in the color Beet.

Let's Talk About NARS

Today were talking about....

you guessed it...

NARS products. Now, while I have yet to try their Orgasm blush which they're practically famous for and I will definitely get around to doing so and this sentence is getting rather long....

I have been dabbling with their lipsticks and eyeshadows for a bit now. In this blog post I will be featuring NARS Short Circuit lipstick, as well as the Marie - Galante palette. Here are some tips before moving on:

1. As always, don't forget to use a primer before you apply these pretty hues of orchid and blue. I use NYX. A primer is a must if you want to wear this stuff through the night with your sweat AND everyone else's.

2. Originally I thought about returning the lipstick (yes...I'm one of THOSE customers) after wearing it once because it is such a bold color and when I first put it on I wasn't wearing lip liner. Do you see what I'm getting at here? Lipliner is a must for this look. I typically get my lip pencils from Ulta, and I'm partial to the darker reds. I cover both my top and bottom lip with the pencil and then I apply Short Circuit. Now, onward to the peektures!!

 

What were working with!

 

 

These colors are by Pacifica and the color at the top I used as a highlighter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As usual I began with my lighter color (orchid) and worked my way out to my darker color (blue).

That's all for now guys :)
