Face and Outfit of the Day

Hi Ladies! I wanted to do a face and outfit of the day for you since I have not done one of these in forever! I wanted to keep the look neutral enough for daytime, since I wore this look to an afternoon event, but you can easily transition it into an evening look by adding some dark brown/black eyeshadow in the outer v part of the eye.

Products Used:

Eyes:

• Mac Painterly Paint Pot
• Mac All That Glitters
• Mac Sable
• Mac Shroom
• Urban Decay 24-7 Pencil in Zero
• Loreal Telescopic Mascara
• Ardell Lashes 125
  

Face:

• Palladio Herbal Primer Potion
• Nars Sheer Glow Foundation
• Mac Studio Finish Concealer
• Mac MSF Natural
• Mac By Candlelight MSF
• Nars Orgasm the Multiple
• Mac Blush in Hipness
  
• Clinique Almost Bronzer

Lips:

• Gosh Darling Lipstick
• Mac Forever Hip Lipstick

Nails:
OPI Rumple's Wiggin'

First I applied primer. foundation, concealer, and powder to my face. Then I primed my eyes with painterly paint pot. Next I applied all that glitters on my lid, sable in the crease, and shroom as my brow bone highlight. After that I lined my eyes with Urban Decay liner in Zero, applied my false lashes, and finished off with a little mascara.

I took a little of orgasm the multiple and applied it to my cheeks as a base. After that I applied by candlelight as my cheek highlight, hipness blush to my cheeks, and contoured with my almost bronzer. Since my lips have a lot of color, I used gosh darling lipstick to nude out my lips. To add a little color, I applied ever hip lipstick over top which created a nice coral lip.

My Bronzer Collection

Hi Lovelies! I don't know about you, but summer is my favorite season. I love spending time at the beach and pool soaking in the sun. Although I enjoy tanning, I try to keep my face from getting too much exposure (we don't want premature aging!) That is why I love bronzing powders; they give a natural glow to your face without harmful side effects.

I have four bronzing powders in my collection:

-Physicians Formula Bronze Booster
-Mac Golden Bronzing Powder
-Clinique Almost Bronzer
-Nars Laguna Bronzer

All of these bronzers provide a nice all-over glow. I have had the Clinique Almost Bronzer the longest and it gives a very subtle bronzing effect. I purchased Mac's Golden Bronzing Powder last year from a collection and it's nice, but I don't reach for it all that often. Nars Laguna works well for an all-over bronzer or for contouring. You need to be careful when applying it or it can end up looking dirty, which is not attractive. Lastly, Physician's Formula is a pretty decent bronzer, especially for a drugstore product. It provides a really pretty subtle glow that looks very natural.



Above are swatches of the bronzing powders. I did heavy swatches so that the colors would show up well against my skin-tone. Although I enjoy and use all of these bronzing powders, I am always on the lookout for something better. What are your favorite bronzers for summer? Let me know in the comments below.
