Today's Makeup & Outfit of The Day

Today's look featured soft pink lips and cheeks with lilac and chocolate eyes. The photos did not do justice to Laura Mercier's Mineral Eye Shadows (loose shadows in lilac and chocolate shimmer). If you like soft lilacs, you *must* check out the Laura Mercier Crushed Amethyst. It's my absolute favorite lilac with complex pink and pearl colored sparkles. It's similar to MAC's Lovely Lily Pigment, but less pastel in my opinion and more sophisticated.

Cheeks:
Bobbi Brown Desert Pink Blush
MAC Light Flush MSF

Eyes:
MAC Painterly Paint Pot
Laura Mercier Crushed Amethyst
Laura Mercier Brilliant Quartz
Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink

Lips:
MAC Subculture Lipliner
Bobbi Brown Nude Pink Creamy Lip Color
Le Metier de Beaute Sweet Cream Lip Creme

For cheeks, Bobbi Brown Desert Pink was dusted on the apples of the cheeks with MAC Light Flush MSF dusted lightly over it for some shimmer/glow.

For the eyes, I first applied MAC Painterly last to brow as a base (heavier near the lash line and softer as it progressed towards the brow). Laura Mercier's Mineral Eyeshadow in Crushed Amethyst was applied 1/2 way up the lid with Brilliant Quartz applied near outer corners and softly blended towards center. Bobbi Brown Chocolate Shimmer Ink liner was applied along upper lash line.

For lips, I lined and filled lips with MAC Subculture (neutral nude pink) with Bobbi Brown Nude Pink Creamy lip color on top. The look was finished with Le Metier de Beaute Sweet Cream Lip Gloss which is basically clear with a slight pink tint (can easily be replicated with any sheer pink gloss).

Outfit was a light grey top with white polka dots from Jcrew, a black cashmere 1-button cardigan from Theory, black stretch jeans Citizens of Humanity, Stuart Weitzman pumps.


Hope you're having a great Monday!
