LOTD: Soft Matte Contoured Look
After all the shimmer yesterday, I really wanted to go all matte with my look today – tip to toe. So I did! For my skin… Allover:

I was dead-set on wearing my favorite bright orange skirt today, so I wanted a strong but pretty peachy-orange-nude look to go along with it. For my skin… Allover:
I was travelling for the day today, so I wanted something pretty clean and simple that would be easy not to worry about during my busy airport-filled day. For my skin… Allover:
My outfit was mainly black, grey, and beige today, so I decided a smokey eye with a bit of taupe and grey would compliment it nicely. For my skin… Allover:
I had a really early start to my day today, so I decided to go for a pick-me-up in the form of a bright, matte green eye. For my skin… Allover:
I seriously can’t get enough of my Urban Decay Naked2 Eyeshadow Palette! It may just wind up being the first palette I hit pan on for every shadow. And I absolutely plan to pick up a backup during the next Sephora or UD friends-and-family sale. I decided on a sleek outfit today with some dark […]
I’ve come to find that this method of applying shadow (basically, in a soft gradient fading up from the lashline to the brow) is particularly flattering on my large, prominent eyes.

First I moisturized my skin with Garnier Skin Renew Daily Moisture Lotion. I used Fusion Beauty IllumiCover Luminous Concealer in Light under my eyes, […]
I had some Srs Bzns to take care of today, so I wanted something that wasn’t too in-your-face, but also wasn’t too natural either. To me, what’s the point in wearing make-up at all if your ultimate goal is for it to look “natural”? If you don’t want people to notice your make-up, why bother […]
Today I wanted to have a go with a gift from a co-worker: MAC Lipstick in Rebel, a fabulously bright berry satin color. (Nevermind that MAC describe it as a “midtone cream plum” – this is most definitely a bright berry!) Starting with my skin, I used my mixture of Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream […]
I’ve been caught in a whirlwind of YouTube videos lately and have found a few that gave me some new ideas for ways to use my Naked2 Palette. The ones that draw me in all seem to be smokey eyes in some shape or form, but I’ll try to come up with some other eye […]
