NYX FOTD

All of this....

created this....


This is just your basic, neutral eye which I wore to work today using my new NYX trio from Cherry Culture.

I used MAC's soft ochre paint pot as my base and applied the lightest shade (barely there) all over my lid. I then applied the middle shade (champagne) to the outer half before applying the darker shade (root beer) to my crease. I used Maxfactor's 2000 calorie mascara followed by blacktrack fluid and voila a simple daytime look. Great for when your running late for work, which I usually am.


Onto the face and cheeks....

I used MAC's well dressed blush on my apples and Prestige's mineral powder in pure shimmer as my highlight. For an all over glow I used a bronzer from Bourjois which was recommended to me and which I love :)

Finally the lips...

Plain and simply Barry M lip paint in 101

Hope you enjoyed :)

  1. I tried MAC's well dressed today for the fist time (plus MSF Petticoat) and I love it! It looks really good on you. I thought it gives a very "healthy" and radiant color to the face...

  2. This is really pretty. Goes really well with your hair color.

  3. Gorgeous look, you look lovely :) I think I need to have a closer look at those Prestige products, would you recommend any in particular? Love the bronzer too...uh oh, I feel another spend coming on!!!

    Would you mind doing a post (or comment back) on what brushes you use. Even thought I've been obsessed with the YT and blogging community for a while now, I'm still very much a beginner when it comes to blending eyeshadows in my crease etc.

    Thanks!

  7. @Kerry: I had a look at the Prestige bronzers today, I liked the look of them and they swatched well on my hand, so I might get them if I have some money! The Bourjois bronzer looked really dark though, scared me off a bit...loving the fact it looks like chocolate though, hehe!

  8. @Laura There are different shades in the Bourjois bronzer. I got mine from ebay because the boots and superdrug here only stock the darkest shade. I use no. 52 x
