FOTD - Subtle drama, Face of the Day

Here is my FOTD - a simple and quick day time look...  using the following products:

MAC's Shroom - over the lid

MAC's Antiqued - in the crease and blended up and down

MAC's Carbon - just a little bit in the outer corner to add a little drama

MAC's Carbon on my lower & upper lash line as my liner

Rimmel London's Lash Accelerator Mascara in Black on my lashes

On my lips I have Pale Rose Lipstick by Avon

On my face I have MAC's Studio Fix Foundation in NC44

This look was very easy and simple to do... and it also gives your eyes a nice little pop of drama but still allowing it to be a very wearable day time look.

To ensure a soft look without the drama of a night look - use your MAC224 or soft blended brush to blend out the lines for a really soft look. ;)

Hope you like it. ;)

Day 14 - Blog Challenge, What is in your makeup bag?

What isn't in your makeup bag would be a more appropriate question.  Right now, my makeup bag that I take with me is pretty sparse because I just changed my purse...  so I threw my MAC blot powder & carmex lip conditioner in my purse pocket and called it a day...  but normally - here is what you can find in my makeup bag.

• MAC Blot Powder
• MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation (I use this for touch ups only if I really need it - but other than that... I don't usually reapply my foundation and just use the blot powder)
• MAC Select Moisture Cover Concealer (for spot treating any areas on the go)
• Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm with Vitamin E + Aloe & SPF 15 (this is a mandatory and I will always have it in my bag no matter what.  I have dry lips and this is great to keep it moisturized and protected.)
• Loreal Infallible Never Fail Lip Gloss in a Nude color...  right now you can find it in Coral Sands in my purse.
• A Basic Mascara - I am currently really liking Revlon's Grow Luscious Mascara because it has yet to clump my lashes (LOVE THIS STUFF, formal review coming soon.)
• A Lipstick Tube - usually one of my Nude colors from Avon.  
• A MAC Lipglass - usually Viva Glam VI
• A Eyeliner pencil - usually one of Avon's Glimmersticks Pencil in Blackest Black or Blackest Night (waterproof)
• Tweezers (I use this mainly when I am sitting in the car waiting for someone... I tweeze my strays :-D)
• Bobby pins (never know when you need these)
• Twist tie or rubberband
• makeup remover (or sometimes I take this out and just use the baby wipes I always have on hand)
• back up earrings - incase I forget to put mine on before I leave the house.
• A Multipurpose palette - this palette usually consists of 3-5 colors (eyeshadows or both eyeshadow & blush).  I select to use my palettes that will allow me to do a quick makeup look - like a brown smokey eye and I'll have an extra green shade or blue shade in there.  Something that is multipurpose.  Often times you will find my small MAC quads or MAC holiday collection palettes in my purse.

That is pretty much it - the list is long but it fits all in my Hello Kitty Makeup bag and I stick it in my purse.   Ready to go when ever I need it. ;-)

The look for today.... sexy, sultry, but simple.

Here is my look for today. I'm sorry I didn't do a tutorial on it, but I was in a rush.

Products used:
Eyes:
Primer used was two faced shadow insurance all over eye lid from lash to brow and NYX jumbo pencil in milk on the lid. Blend milk so that it is not clumped on lid.
Shadow: expensive pink on the lid. Sketch in the crease. Shroom as a highlight.
EyeLiner: I used Avon glimmersticks eyeliner in blackest black.
Lashes: I used colossal mascara on my lashes. (waterproof)
Lips: I used MAC lusterglass in Babied.
Face: I used MAC studio fix liquid foundation and concealer. I also used MAC's blot powder to set my foundation and Fix Plus to set and give my foundation that airbrushed look.

Hope u like this look... Hopefully I can do a video on the look in the future. Thanks for stopping by.

Xoxo
Honey
