Polished Look for Office



I was going through my PhotoBooth and came across these pictures. I really like this look. I think I was too busy to post it here. As far as I remember I used light color from Naked Pallet on the lid, Cement and Flint by BB in the crease, Ivory under the brow. Lined with Caviar eyeshadows, wet application.

I can see that I defined my brows more with Blonde eyeshadows by BB.

Lips: Pale Pink

Cheek: Pale Pink

Definitely use bronzer





Makeup for Navy Jacket and Nude Top Outfit (office)







This picture is taken away from window light and appears a bit dull and I look tanner :)



I really like my new "Flirt!" palette. The eyeshadows have a bit of warmth in it but not too orangie-ee.

Here is my look today:

Face: BB Oil-Free Foundation in Beige, concealer in Cool Sand, powder and BB Bronzer in Medium.

Cheeks: Benefit Blush in Coralista     
                          







Lips: one of my favorite Bobbi Brown lip color " Blondie Pink" 



Eyes: "Flirt!" Bronzed look. First color all over, second color on the lid and third color on the outer half of the lid. I lined top lashline with Bobbi Brown espresso eyeshadows (dry).

Bronzed Day Look by "Flirt"







Yesterday, I got a Totally Bronze Style Box by Flirt!




I tried them today and I really like them. They are not too bronzy or beigie for my skin tone. It is a very pretty natural look.


Face: evened out middle part with BB foundation, corrector/concealer, set T-zone and undereye area with powder.

Cheeks: used Bronzer from Flirt! Style Box on cheeks, along the hair line and nose. I felt I needed to add some pink or peachy-pink undertones to add "life" to my face. It looked too bronzed - which is not the most flattering look for Soft Summers. That's why I  lightly dusted Maui Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzing Powder on apples of the cheeks.


Eyes: The top eyeshadows - all over the lid
          Second - on the lid  and along the lower lashline
          Last one - in the crease to create definition and depth.
 
          2 coats of mascara. Since it is a more nude look, I added some definition with mascara on my    lower lashes. 

          Defined brows with "Blonde" eyeshadows by Bobbi Brown
    

Lips: Naked lip pencil by Bobbi Brown and a light nude lipcolor from E.L.F. lip palette.

Natural Makeup for Office







This is extremely easy look. I decided to go for a minimal makeup look because of the color of my dress that was already a focal point. Cobalt blue is a strong color for soft summer, so I softened it with a scarf in lighter and more muted colors. Some of the colors in the scarf are from Spring palette, but I think overall work great. I love pale yellow that  matches  my bag.  Well, enough about my outfit :) Makeup...Again, it is a very simple look, takes only 3 minutes or less.

FACE: Oil-free foundation by BB on T-zone and around lips, BB Corrector and Concealer, Laura's Setting powder a bit of Deep Bronzer by BB all over my face.
Bronzing powder "Maui" dusted on cheeks, along hearline, nose.

EYES:


 



Swatches of Naked Palette

Bobbi Brown Hot Stone eyeshasows. Medium cool toned brown.

Lid: Sidecar from Naked palette and Hot Stone (one of my favorite Bobbi Brown eyeshadows) by blended in the crease and a bit above. While blending up, I usually keep most of the color on the outer side of the eyes. 
A layer of Definicile mascara by Lancome. If you noticed, I didn't use a line today. To add a bit of definition to the lashline, I wiggle mascara at the roots of the lashes - it creates a line - and then in zig-zag motions move up. It is a good time saving tip if you are in a hurry and don't have time to do liner.

LIPS: L'Oreal HIP Brillian Shine lipgloss

L'Oreal HIP Lip Gloss, Inviting 832 .5 oz (15 ml)

Cherry Lipstick for Casual Friday in Office






Today I decided to wear a white shirt and jeans for our casual Friday. I thought to give this outfit a boost with a red lips look.

FACE: BB natural finish foundation applied only where it is needed (t-zone and around lips), BB corrector and concealer, Laura Mercier setting powder, BB bronzer in Deep for contouring.

CHEEKS: Illuminating Bronzing Powder by BB in "Maui". It is such a pretty subtle color. Sometimes I use very lightly it on top of my regular bronzer to add some of those pinky-peachy undertones to my complexion. Or, like in this case, I applied more color just on my cheeks. 


LIPS:  ELF Lip palette.  Deep Cherry Color. They are actually very sheer. I usually apply one layer, set it with powder and follow with one more. This way the color is richer and they stay on longer.

EYES: BB eyeshadows. I applied Ivory all over my lid, Cement on the lid and blending it just a bit above the crease. Lined my eyes with damp Caviar eyeshadows and MAC liner brush. I winged my liner just a bit :) - it's Friday afterall! :)
