I actually wasn’t planning on doing much, but then that turned into a look once I got going. It complimented my pink Chucks perfectly! And my RevvWear hoodie that I wore to keep warm.

Face – nothing (laziness streak continues! Perhaps I shouldn’t have hit the snooze button)

Eyes

  • MAC Painterly p/p as base (Sephora flat e/s brush)
  • MAC Milk pigment all over lid (Sephora medium e/s brush)
  • MAC Up at Dawn e/s on out half of lid (239 brush)
  • MAC Parfait Amour e/s in outer V and as liner for upper lashes (239 brush, Mary Kay slanted e/s brush)
  • MAC Cloud Bound e/s as highlight (217 brush)
  • MAC Brow Finisher in Blonde, smoothed with Brow Set in clear
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Lips

  • MAC Sweet Strawberry lipglass

The Sweet Strawberry lipglass was a lot more pigmented than I expected, and a bit strong for this look. I kept it on for pictures, and then I blotted it off and used Pink Fish Lip Conditioner for a more softer look. I probably should’ve chosen She Loves Candy, but I am trying to use all my new Hello Kitty lipglasses.

Just a cute girly look!

It also suggested using Carbon, but I do not have that color (and try to avoid straight blacks, still kinda scare me!), so I substituted Well Plumed. Definitely a soft, pretty pink look.

This was also my first time applying makeup under my natural light bulbs I got for the bathroom last night. Definitely a great help! I always use to get out to the car, and see flaws, but now my makeup looks inside what it would outside.

Products (all MAC unless noted):

Face

  • Prep+Prime Skin Base
  • Mineralized loose foundation in medium (109 brush)
  • Redhead Mineralized Skinfinish (168 brush)

Eyes

  • Painterly paint pot as base (242 brush dupe from Sephora)
  • Slip Pink e/s all over lid (139 brush)
  • Sushi Flower e/s in crease (139 brush)
  • Well Plumed e/s in outer V and as a liner (139 brush for V, slanted Mary Kay e/s brush for liner)
  • Cloud Bound e/s for blending, and up to brow (272 brush)
  • Brow Set in clear
  • Make Up For Ever Smokey Lash mascara

Lips

  • Prized Petal lipglass

This can also be called the “all the discontinued colors” look, haha. Prized Petal was a LE, and I found Slip Pink, Cloud Bound, and Well Plumed at a CCO.
