What’s On My Face #6
I’m going to jump right into this without any waffle and get to the good stuff… so excuse me.
As a primer I used Clinique’s City Block which has a high SPF of 25 so is great to use under foundations like NARS Sheer Glow that don’t include SPF, but because it’s a little tacky it’s also good as a primer. It comes out a little tinted, but doesn’t really show on the skin. I then buffed on some of the Jouer luminizing moisture tint that I got in the mini set from Cult Beauty. It’s absolutely tiny but really great for travelling or even to throw in your handbag on a night out! I have the shade Golden, which although is a little bit dark, it really gives a gorgeous golden glow. It’s SPF 20 and is oil free so will work for loads of different skin types. It is very luminous though so a little powder in certain areas is sometimes necessary.
I used the Burberry Sheer Summer Glow palette to highlight my cheekbones and then added a natural blush with MAC’s Blush Baby. On my eyes, I used my ring finger to apply one of my favourite cream bases, MAC’s Bare Study paint pot which is a really pretty champagne. I then blended into the crease the darker taupe colour from AERIN’s Weekday palette from the Fall collection, this added some definition and depth. I roughly lined the top lash line with my new Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes in 1L and blended it out with a brush for a natural line. For my lashes I gave Soap & Glory’s Thick & Fast HD mascara a go and I really like it! I’m picky with mascaras, but this one ticked all the boxes.
For the final touches I groomed my brows and after a short fling with Anastasia’s Clear Brow Gel I went back to my trusty HD Brows. Although I loved the brush on the Anastasia one, I found the formula made my brows too crispy and also left white bits when they dried. I used my mini Ciaté Fade to Greige on my nails and my new MAC Brick-o-la on my lips. The lipstick is an orangy dark red and I really like it’s warmth, it also matched perfectly with my Make Up Forever Aqua Lip in 14C.
So what do you think of today’s makeup combo?
