Demure FOTD

Hiya lovelies!

Here I am with my first FOTD of 2013 and hopefully it'll be one of many!

I decided to do a demure look today, because I never really do 'innocent' looks. I wanted to avoid a smokey eye. I usually favour dark but neutral eye looks, and since I learned to do a smokey eye I've done one pretty much every time I do my make up. I'd fallen into the habit of doing it without even realising it. I want to challenge myself with my make up this year so I want to try new things. I used a rose gold colour and a brown from an Avon quad eyeshadow on my eyes. I went light on the blusher, in fact you can't see it, oops.

My hair looks a bit funky because it was still wet. Photos can be clicked on to enlarge.

I used:

Body Shop brow powder in shade 02
Avon Supershock Max black mascara
Avon quad eyeshadow in Mystery (limited edition, I think.)
L'Oreal Visible Lift foundation in 15 light beige

Avon & L'Oreal products bought before I made the decision to go cruelty free.


Thanks for reading.

LOTD using Darling Girl Cosmetics

Hiya!

I decided to have a play with my Darling Girl Cosmetics eyeshadows and this is what I came up with. All photos can be clicked for larger images.

I used:

The Seam on my lower lid

Persuasion under my bottom eyelashes

Survival Instinct in my crease area and above

Lucky as highlight under my brows (all by Darling Girl Cosmetics)

Avon Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Foundation

Urban Decay Buck matte shadow to fill in my brows

Avon Supershock Max mascara in black

Avon Supershock gel eyeliner in black (on waterline)

MUA bronzer shade 2 as contour

Sleek MakeUP Rose Gold blusher

MUA shade 2 gold glitter eyeliner

Sue Moxley Famous lipgloss in Pink Sherbet

The MUA gold glitter eyeliner really picked out the gold in Persuasion and topped everything off nicely. 4 shadows is probably as many as I've used in a look. I'm usually pretty simplistic with my make up.

EDIT - Be careful if you have the MUA glitter eyeliner - when you take it off, do it gently. I did it in my usual hurry with a make up remover wipe and it made my eyes water. It's a wee bit gritty when you take it off. Ouch! Be gentle and you'll be fine.

Thanks for looking!
