Smokey Neutral Face of the Day

Hey doll hey!!! How’s your day/night going? Great I hope. I was able to sleep well last night and woke this morning with less pain than I was in yesterday.

Today was family breakfast day. I made Disney Contemporary Chef Mickey’s Breakfast Pizza from a recipe that I found on the Disney Food Blog and I added sausage and bacon to the recipe … it was super yummy and super simple to make and look how yummy it looks:

Today I am wearing my Bath and Body Works Champagne Rose body spray. Now let’s jump into this Face of the Day….

Base:                                                                                                                                                          I first primed my problematic pore areas with Tarte Clean Slate Timeless Smoothing Primer ($39 at Ulta) and then primed the full face using NYX Angel Veil Primer ($16 at Ulta). I also prepped my face using Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter ($44 at Sephora and the Beautylish website). My foundation today is Il Makiage Woke Up Like This foundation ($44 on their website) in the shade 040. I contoured using Charlotte Tilbury Contour Wand ($38 at Sephora) in the shade Medium/Dark. I highlighted the tops of my cheek bones, bridge of the nose, center of the chin, and high points of my forehead using Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand ($38 on the Beautylish website). I concealed my under eyes using 5 dots of Benefit Boi-ing Cakeless Concealer ($22 at Ulta and Sephora) in the shade No. 3. I set my under eyes using Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder for Under Eyes ($28 at Ulta) in the shade 1 and then set the rest of my face using the  Too Faced Born This Way Ethereal Setting Powder ($33 at Ulta and Sephora) in the shade Translucent. I then warmed up the perimeter of my face using MAC Bronzing Powder ($30 at MAC) in the shade Matte Bronze. I am using Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder ($4 at Walmart) in the shade 011 creamy natural as my touch up powder today.

Eyes:                                                                                                                                                         I set my brows using Believe Beauty Eyebrow Styling Gel ($4 at Dollar General) in clear and then filled in my brows using  Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil ($24 at Ulta and Sephora) in the shade 4.5 and then I primed my lids using P.Louise Base ($10 pound sterling/ $12.08 USD on their website… can also be found on the Morphie website for $15) in the shade Rumour 0.5 and I also used a little of this to cut my brow line. For today’s eye look I used the ColourPop Bare Necessities 30 Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($34 on the ColourPop website). I started with the shade Velveteen (tawny brown matte) from lash line to brow bone. I then went into the shade Crack On (chestnut brown matte) and applied it on the outer 1/3 of the mobile lid and outer v of the crease. For the remaining 2/3 of the mobile lid I used the shade Designer Duds (rose gold pink metallic) and then went into the shade Rumored (silvery taupe metallic) and tapped that over the middle 1/3 of the mobile lid and then went back into Designer Duds and blending it into the middle 1/3 to blend all the shades together. On the brow line I used a combo of the shades In the Buff (neutral pale pinky beige matte) and Full Exposé (creamy vanilla matte). For the lower lash line I did a drop shadow using more of the shade Crack On and then highlighted the inner corners using Idol Hour (warm ivory with a pale peach sheen metallic).  I coated my upper and lower lashes with 1 coat of Milani Dangerous Lengths Mascara ($9.99 at Ulta). I lined my upper and lower waterlines using Charlotte Tilbury The Classic Eye Powder Pencil ($22 at Sephora) in the shade Audrey (classic brown).

Cheeks and Lips:                                                                                                                               For my blush I did it a bit different today. I applied my blush with the rest of my cream products since I was using a Super Shock Cheek blush…. and then set it when I set the rest of my face and I think it gave me a pretty flushed look. I used ColourPop Super Shock Cheek ($8 on their website) in the shade Quarters (a mid-toned peachy coral satin). I lined and filled in my lips using NYX Suede Matte Lip Liner ($4 at Ulta) in the shade Wipped Caviar (a reddish pink nude) and then topped that off with L’Oreal Rouge Signature Lightweight Matte Lip Stain ($5.99 at Ulta) in the shade 448 I-Tease (a soft taupey pink matte) and felt that this was too muted so I tapped a few dots of Makeup Geek Creme Stain ($11.99 on their website) in the shade Jitterbug (an intense coral matte) and then I felt that this was too dry looking so I topped the whole lip off using NARS Lip Gloss ($24 on the NARS website) in the shade Stripe Tease  (Sheer champagne nude).

Final Thoughts:

I got an email from ColourPop that says they will begin processing their back orders now!! Yahoo because I have 2 orders that I am waiting for and am stoked to try out that new Mulan palette.

I have a few beauty buys this month… not as many as last month because we are trying to stay above water with the bills… but I will have a few things to haul for you soon.

 

Well that’s all for now dolls. Hope you enjoy the rest of your day/night and that you are in good spirits and health. Remember dolls … save a spoon for a bit of lipstick.

XOXO
