Fresh Face

I do have many different versions of the “Fresh Face” look, but today it was all about peaches!

The point of a fresh face is to keep everything sheer & light :). Peach/apricot is a great color scheme for this particular look because it is so neutral & natural to pull off.

*My foundation is Nars Sheer Glow -I’m wearing a very thin layer of it! (For oilier skin types, try Nars Sheer Matte )

*My eyelid color is Bare Minerals Prime Time in “Sun Dance”

*Mascara is Benefits “They’re Real!” With a little bit of MAC “False Lashes”

*Cheeks done with Smashbox Skin Tint in “Heat” mixed with a light layer of MAC “Azalea in the Afternoon” (me and mixes, right? Hah!)

*Lip color made with the same Smashbox Skin Tint and Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Gloss in “Rockstar”

Oh, and let’s not forget about the brows! Anastasia Beverly Hills “Perfect Brow Pencil” – very deserving of its title!!!

Bright Summery Day: Pink and Gold

This season its all about summery brights-a bit like spring but paired with bronzes and golds. This look was inspired by one that I saw on good ole Pinterest (heehee!) and was so much fun to recreate, especially since it is a bit out of my usual make-up box :).

My take on it:

Overall, I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out. But! I definitely want to play around with it more 🙂

The orchid lip

I was thrilled to find out that the beauty color of the year is orchid. It’s such a  beautiful choice, and there are so many different shades of it-truly, anyone can rock this color.

I decided to use orchid as my lip color. The making of it was easy! Rather than going out and hunting down the “perfect” orchid lipstick or gloss, I decided to use what I already have!

*Bare Minerals Moxie Lipliner in “electrified” (the entire lip was filled in with this gorgeous plum shade)

*OCC Lip Tar in Femme, pressed in using my fingers.

All you need to create your own orchid shade is a pink and a plum. Simple!
