A hint of golden natural....


Happy Monday! I am so happy that the day is almost over. One day down, only three more to go before I start my weekend. It is going to be a busy weekend which will be a nice distraction since next week probably won’t be so great for me. Today I went for a more natural look. The face routine is the same from yesterday minus the highlight. I used Penny Lane by NARS again. I love this color. I just can’t stop gushing about how great it looks on my face! 

My eyes are simple today. I used my Urban Decay Naked palette and a few colors from MAC. With a small eye shadow brush, I lightly put naked from the UD palette all over my lid. I did not take it past the crease. It is a very natural color and it is darker than my skin tone. I mixed MAC woodwinked and satin taupe and blended them into my crease with my MAC 217 brush. In the outer corners, I took mystery from MAC and very lightly dabbed it on. I used my blending brush to blend all the colors together. Going back to the UD palette, I put half-baked on the center of my lid. Once again, I used vanilla as my highlight and then added exquisite from LAsplash to give a little sheen to my eye. I used my favorite eyeliner, UD 24/7 glide on pencil in whiskey. I love the color. It is the perfect shade of brown. I put a little bit of mystery over it to keep it in place. I smudged whiskey on my lower lash line and velvet from NYX on the water line. Lastly, I used Bad Gal Lash mascara. 

My lips were a little darker than usual. I used Revlon Just bitten in Twilight and then put Viva Glam Gaga 2 lipstick and lip glass over it. I love lip stains because after the actual lipstick fades, there is still some color on my lips and I don’t have to worry about them looking too pale because yes, my lips are also pale without some type of product on them!

I hope you enjoyed today’s look. I have been doing a lot of purple/blue looks and I wanted to do something different. During the week, I try to keep things fairly natural. Thanks for stopping by!
