Sunset Vibes Face of the Day

Hey doll hey! How’s your day/night going? Great I hope. Today is a very productive day for me… I finished 3 blog drafts, did my makeup, catalogued my yarn and we are having a full out feast of a BBQ.

We started with bagels and mimosas and that gave me the inspiration for today’s look….

For today’s look I am using the ColourPop Daisy Does It 12 Pan Palette ($18 for 0.42 oz / 12 g of total product on their website making it 0.035 oz / 1 g and $1.50 per shade).

This was the look I created on 3/29/2022. I had it in my drafts and forgot to post it.

Let’s get it going with today’s walk through and pictorial.

Eyes and Brows:

I started the way I always have, I applied Got 2b Glued Spiking Glue ($7.15 for 6 oz / 170 g of product at Ulta) to set my brows in place and then I filled them in using the LA Girl Brow Pomade ($5.99 for 027 oz at Ulta) in the shade Dark Brown. Using a c shaped brush from ColourPop I used the foundation that I am using today to clean up the top part of my brow and using the same brush I used the Beauty Creations Dare to Be Bright Color Base Primer ($4 for 0.5 fl oz / 15 ml of product on their website) in the shade White Out (pure white) to carve out the bottom of my brows and prime my lids.

Using a fluffy crease brush I went into the shade Pinwheel (soft yellow peach – matte) I defined the transition (from crease to brow line).

I started with the medium sized crease brush and the shade Rooted (warm beige – matte) to define the crease and then went in with a small crease brush and the shade Flower Girl (peachy coral – matte) to soften the first shade and give the crease a more sunset vibe.

I used a combination of the shades Top Pick (true yellow with silver pin points – sequin matte) and Nice Steams (beige pink with gold and silver pin points – sequin matte) on a short shadder brush to get a muted wash of yellow on the mobile lids.

To add a hint of a romantic glow I first started with the ColourPop Lawn Party Super Shock Shadow Duo ($10 for two 0.074 oz / 2.1 g pots of shadow on their website) using the shade Beloved (soft daffodil yellow with pink and gold pinpoints) on my finger I tapped it over the inner 2/3 of the mobile lids.

Then using my finger again I used the shade In a Scent (soft coral with a gold duo chrome – metallic) over the middle 1/3 of the mobile lid.

On a small built styled pencil brush and the shade Like Butter (warm brown – matte) I defined the outer v of the crease lightly… the goal was to add a hint of depth without adding too much drama to the look.

For the lower lash lines I started with a small packer brush and more of the shade Flower Girl (peachy coral – matte) to create a soft and light drop shadow. Then a pencil brush and more of the shade Like Butter (warm brown – matte) I defined the lashes of the lower lids. On a small fluffy crease brush and I took the shade Pinwheel (soft yellow peach – matte) to buff out the harsh lines and to connect the upper and lower shadows together at the outer v.

On a pencil brush I took the combination of the shades So Fresh (white gold with gold and silver pinpoints – super shock shadow) and Chain Letter (ivory with a coppery peach duo chrome – super shock) to highlight the upper part of the tear duct and then went in with a fluffy brush to defuse that area. For the lower water lines I used the orange #6 shade from the Handaiyan 20 piece liner set ($15.99 on Amazon).

Complexion:

I primed the face using the Thrive Causemetics Brilliant Face Brightener Illuminating Primer ($35 for 1 fl oz / 30 ml of product on their website). I then contoured using the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Match Stix Contour Skinstick ($28 for 0.25 oz / 7.09 g of product at Ulta) in the shade Amber (cool toned contour for light to medium skin). For foundation today I tested the Cover FX Natural Finish Foundation ($12.60 on sale for 1 fl oz / 30 ml of product at Ulta… shades a limited due to Ulta discontinuing partnership with the company… can still be found on their own website so I added that hyperlink instead) in the shade N10 (porcelain to light skin with neutral undertones). I bronzed using the Wander Beauty Flash Focus Hydrating Foundation Stick ($32 for 0.32 oz / 9.07 g of product at Dermstore) in the shade deep. I highlighted using the Milk Makeup Bionic Glow Illuminating Liquid Highlighter ($34 for 0.91 oz/ 26.8 ml of product at Sephora) in the shade Virtual (peach) and for blush I used the Thrive Causemetics Triple Threat Color Stick ($36 for 0.28 oz / 8 g of product on their website) in the shade Olivia (peachy pink satin). I concealed using the Milk Makeup Flex Concealer ($28 for 0.2 oz/ 5.9 ml of product at Sephora) in the shade Porcelain (Very fair with neutral undertones… it’s not offered at Sephora in this shade).

The first 2 pictures are the placement I use for my contour and the last picture is the placement I use for bronzer.

Setting, Touch Ups, Lips and Lashes:

I set the perimeter of the face using the HourGlass Veil Translucent Setting Powder ($46 for 0.36 oz / 10.21 g of product at Ulta) and the center of my face (the triangle of light) using the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Setting Powder ($34 for 0.98 oz / 27.78 g of product at Ulta). I bronzed using the Thrive Causemetics Sun Chaser Blur + Sculpt Bronzing Powder ($32 for 0.32 oz / 9 g of product on their website) in the shade Camila (tan neutral). I touched up the highlighter using Wander Beauty Wanderess Glow ($30 for 0.21 oz / 6 g of product on the Dermstore website) in the shade After Hours (champagne). I punched up the blush a bit using the Charlotte Tilbury Cheek To Chic Blush ($40 for 0.28 oz / 7.94 g of product at Sephora) in the shade Ecstasy (peachy pink)… just the center of the blush. I coated my lashes in Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Curling & Lifting Mascara ($27 for 0.3 oz/ 8.50 g of product at Ulta) and popped on a pair of ColourPop lashes ($8 on their website) in the style Minx. I lined my lips using ColourPop Lippie Pencil ($6 for 0.035 oz / 1 g of product on their website) in the shade Frenchie (bright warm red) and topped the lips off using NYX Powder Puff Lippie ($9 for 0.4 oz / 11.34 g of product at Ulta) in the shade Boy’s Tears (classic red).
