FOTD - Naked & Nude

Bit more appropriate for a day working from home although it looks a bit dull compared to yesterdays!




Completely forgot my UDPP this morning so we have Sin (cream) on mobile lid, Buck (matt brown) into crease with Darkhorse (coppery brown) outer edge of crease and tightlining top and bottom, all from UD NAKED. Usual mascara and Clinique brow pencil. Nicked more of Ems Bourjois bronzer, which I am really liking. Not sure why it took me this long to get to bronzer, have always hated that blusher adds colour to an all ready ruddy complexion but had just assumed bronzer was something worn by 17 yr olds to turn their faces teak. I might have been wrong!  Lips are just GOSH Cappuccino on its own this time, really liking this but am going to have to sort lips out as it is totally unforgiving.  Have decided will def be buying MAC Viva Glam Gaga II both lipstick and gloss as soon as they appear.

So thats me, Naked & Nude!

FOTD - 21st Feb

Was taking pics for a guest post I am writing for another blog - watch this space! - and thought this would be a good fotd pic.


Eyes - tightlined with Darkhorse, Sin on mobile lid, Buck in crease.  Brows Clinique superfine liner in Soft Brown. L'Oreal Mascara.


Lips - Bobbi Brown Cocoa pencil and Buff Heather Cream Lipstick


Face - Lancome Teint Miracle and MAC Creme blush in Lillicent.


Googled tightlining recently, just hope I am doing it right? Loading very straight Ruby and Millie eye liner brush with powder shadow, putting into lash line and wiggling it down onto base of lashes?  Whether my techinique is actually tightlining or not I love the effect.  Wish wish wish I had taken a pic sat eve as I did a full on smoky eye with Creep as tightliner top and bottom and into crease with Sin on mobile lid, black kohl liner on water line top and bottom and stacks of mascara and just made sure that my eyebrows were extended a smidge further out than would be usual for day time. It was a much more made up look than I would have considered even a few months ago. In my opinion they looked bloody fab - and UDPP underneath made sure it all stayed perfect through a marathon 7 hrs of drinking, dancing and merriment!  Also used the last of the Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua for the evening, its a bit too dark for the day but perfect for a night out so am building up my secret stash for an Chanel purchase asap!
