FOTD: The Fashion Edition





It's been a while since I've done a 'what's on my face' style post and also something fashion related around these parts. The occasion? Amber Whitecliffe's launch of her Mrs Pinto collection, more on that later in the week. I wanted to wear a red lip and also quite glittery eyes. Any excuse to dress up! 

Base wise I opted for the Hourglass Primer with a bit of coverage c/o Chanel's Perfection Lumiere Velvet . I wear the shade B20 and it seems to be a pretty darn good match for my skin, but I want a matte base that's lighter for Summer. Leave me your suggestions down below! Tired eyes and blemish scars were sorted thanks to Bobbi and Nars, a quick dusting of powders from the Ambient Lighting Wardrobe and a touch of Tipsy on the cheeks and my base is done.

For polished brows you can't beat DipBrow Pomade and it's waterproof so if you encounter any rain you don't have to worry about your eyebrows ending up on your cheeks. I then opted for the new Hourglass liner. A few cotton buds later and I had a subtle bit of definition on my lashline that didn't look too Taylor Momsen-esque. Lashes were curled with these beauties from Kevyn Aucoin. Side note: These lash curlers are made in the same factory as Shu Uemura's and Chanel's and they're all sorts of amazing so get them. I used a mix of All That Glitters on my lids and also this pretty foil from Stila. For lips I felt like a bit of Cruella and it stayed put all night. Gotta love that Nars goodness. A quick spritz of setting spray and I was out the door.

*What are your special occasion 'face' essentials?

  2. The pictures I took are all really grainy but it's basically the same as the makeup in my Disqus+Twitter photo except with the red lip x

  3. I whipped out Cruella for Halloween. I'd forgotten how long-wearing it is! Definitely one to wear more often.

  6. You do. If it sweetens the deal, Mecca's dropped their prices on them now so they're more affordable x
