Make-up
Although I used fairly dark eyeshadow colours in my crease, the overall makeup doesn't loose all it's playfulness, probably because I used my go-to lipstick shade - Liliac! Here's what I used to create the look:
- Primer: MAC Prep & Prime
- Foundation: MAC Pro Longwear SPF 10 (shade NW10)
- Concealor: Benefit Boi-ing (02)
- Powder: MAC Mineralize Skin Finish (medium)
- Bronzer: NARS Laguna
- Eye brow pencil: MAC's (stud)
- Eyebrow set: Boots No.7
- Blusher: MAC Breath of Plum
- Eye Primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Eye Shadow: MAC Crystal, Digit, Scene & Knight Divine.
- Highlighter: Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat
- Eye Liner: MAC Smoulder
- Mascara: MAC Falsh Lashes
- Lips: Barry M Lip Paint 129 / Lime Crime Airbourne Unicorn (I changed throughout the day)

Love the dress Em... looking good!
ReplyDeleteCute dress Ms Emmie and lovely pics! I think your dog was trying to muscle in on the shot :-)
ReplyDeleteQuestion about primer - do you wear it every day? I tend to wear a face primer for days when I need makeup to last day-night and when I'm so busy I don't have much time to touch up... but it could be a 'must' every day for you?

Thanks Jan. Will you be wearing a dress this summer?
ReplyDeleteHello Style on the Couch! How are you doing over there in NY? Yes, the dog...not what I'd call a good model's accessory! ;)
ReplyDeletePrimer: I do indeed use primer every time I wear foundation. The reasons are as follows:
I find that as well as pro-longing the 'wear' of my foundation it also does numerous other jobs...
The primer I have and I suppose the function of any decent primer is to make the skin ready for the application of makeup. It smooths out any imperfections(any fine lines/wrinkles etc.)by filling them in thus creating a flat, even canvas on which to begin. You will use less of your foundation as a result and should find that it can do it's job better.
Finally, I like the idea that the primer is a bit of a barrier. Instead of my foundation absorbing directly into my skin, the primer acts as a base with the foundation adhering to the primer rather than blocking my pores!
I hope that helped a bit?!
