Face of the Day: Simple Staples

Jun 29, 11 Face of the Day: Simple Staples

Posted by in FotD

Today was a back to back day for work, and so I needed something that was dramatic enough for the counter but still appropriate for the clinic. I decided to keep things pretty simple and stick to basics; soft definition and colour for the eyes with a neutral peach lip and cheek.  It was definitely a change of pace from the...

Face of the Day: Cool Satin

Feb 02, 11 Face of the Day: Cool Satin

Posted by in FotD, looks

In my mind, Satin Taupe is the cool version of Woodwinked or vice versa. I have no idea why I hold to that idea, because one is a muted gold and the other a silvery taupe. Since buying them I’ve always considered them to be great neutral colours; just one leaning warm, and the other cool, opposite ends of the neutral...

I was in the mood for two things: a smokey eye and pigments.  It seemed a good time to try out my sample of Softwash Grey (from MAC’s holiday mini set) – and is it ever gorgeous!  I really wish they had it available in full size!  Even though I’ve pressed many of my pigments, both of these were used loose, and...

Not too long ago I was experimenting with my new NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk. This product has near legendary status as an inexpensive base to make shadows pop. I used it with my 88 palette for a quick EotD and I was shocked at how much it elevated those shadows. I’ve had that palette for over a year, and I rarely used it...
