FOTD: Nude Attitude

I call this Face of the Day (FOTD) Nude Attitude not only because I'm using a nude lipstick shade and using neutral shadows but because I made a cat eye adding boldness to the look. I want this to be about the eyes so I toned down the lips and the cheeks a bit. You can wear this to prom with any dress color and you'll be fine. If I was still in school this is the makeup I'm wearing for sure. I know this maybe a little late for others but I remember we had our prom in UP on the third week of March. I know it's late... :). It's because we start the classes late too... 

Who's doing your prom makeup? Do you already know which one to wear? If you're unsure which look to sport for the prom, always go back to the basics, and neutral goes well with everything. Concentrating on eye makeup to me is low maintenance because you only need to worry about two things:

1) Make sure that your eye makeup doesn't move; and

2) Retouch your lipstick to make sure that you don't looked washed out

That's it... you're free to enjoy your night with your friends :). Although you may want to avoid products with spf or light defusing ingredients if you're going to be taking so many pictures because it won't look good on flash photography. Listed below are the products I use to create this look.  

Face

Danahan BB Cream #23

Elite Mineral Foundation in Natural 

Eyes

Elite Mineral Eye Shadow Primer

Elf Studio 32 piece Eyeshadow Palette in Warm

Revlon Eyebrow Pencil in Brown 

Elite Mineral Bronzer in Caramel

Elite Mineral Blush in Candy Girl 

Revlon Single Matte Eyeshadow in Rich Sable for brows

BYS Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Black

Avon Extra Lasting Mascara in Black

Lips

Avon Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick in Nude Attitude

Elf Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF15 in Pink Kiss

My face looks rather fair in contrast to my neck because I'm using a bb cream over mineral foundation which has plenty of light defusing ingredients. However, it will make you look more flawless In person though this looks better and doesn't highlight my face this way :D (I seriously need to buy a new camera).  

I hope you guys like this FOTD. Let me know what you think! :). Sorry my hair always looks boring. I'm not good with hair styling so this is as good as it's gonna get :D. 


Have a happy prom and take care! :D

FOTD: Summer Makeup

Summer is almost here which means, it's vacation time! Although the heat is sometimes too much to bear plus the humidity that's just way too much than I can tolerate, I'm still pretty excited because this is the time for going to the beach and spending great times with family and friends. 

During the summer we cannot put on the same old makeup products because it will most likely melt or move. This is the makeup look that I wear during the summer and I want to share them with you all. It's very easy, everyone can do it. I really cannot use a liquid foundation this time because it's just not fit for the season in my opinion. I personally don't feel very comfortable putting too much product on my face when I know will not look good after a few hours. 

This summer makeup is great when you're going to the beach, camping, or vacationing with family or friends because it's longer staying yet it makes you look fresh and glowy. On here I'm using mineral foundation which is just the perfect product for this time of the year. Mineral makeup is water proof and oil free so your makeup is going to last longer. Of course want to look good but don't want to be touching up while you're having fun, right? 

As base for my mineral makeup, I used a non-oily bb cream so I can skip the concealer. You may of course use a face primer if you prefer to use that. I have nivea sun protection on my face before I applied the bb cream because I don't believe the Lieole BB Cream has any spf in it. Always make sure to use sun protection especially when you're outdoors. Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner to avoid any summer horror of melting eye makeup, it happened it me before so believe me it's not pretty :)! I used an eyebrow pencil as it's not easily washed away by water but if you have a water proof one it's better. I have eyeshadow primer on my lids to prevent my eyeshadow from moving and I used the bronzer as lid color to create a glowy and natural look. I have 2 coats of waterproof mascara on my lashes for that fresh and more awake eyes. I didn't use any blush anymore and just applied bronzer for that natural sun kissed look! You also need to protect your lips so wear spf lip balm, tinted is better in my opinion so you don't look washed out.

with Etude House 55 Kissful Tint Chou in #1 on my lips

If you want to add more color to your face you may use a lip tint which is what I have on this photo and it instantly adds more glow to the face. The photo above was taken 5 hours after I applied the makeup and you can see that it has not moved or faded. It was scorching hot yesterday and very humid but the oil control of the mineral foundation is amazing that I look pretty much the same when I first put the makeup together. 

I hope you guys like this FOTD.  Stay safe, have fun, and have a wonderful summer! :)
