For Girls Only
Ah, I should start breathing good in, breathing nasty out.
They made their decision and I shall respect it. I saw it coming anyway.
Enough of that, I finally went to that free Bobbi Brown make up lessons. I splurged quite a bit on their products months before and I became a member thus the make up lessons. My make up artist, Noel, is just fabulous.
So today's lesson was brows and eyes. He taught me how to do the contour thing but it was kinda shit on me so he threw in extra lesson; smokey eyes. Yes, finally. I tried smokey for years and I only succeeded just once for the record.
A slut picture is obligatory, of course.
He used Forest 6 and Sage 4 with Long Wear Cream Shadow Sandy Gold 04 as base (he chose cream cos my eyelids tend to be oily), Beige 17 as the highlight and Graphite 15 eyeliner. I was a bit apprehensive when he suggested green but hey, it worked on me. And the magic thing that made the makeup pops is the Eye Brightener which doubles as an instant concealer. It's my favorite thing right now. I opted out foundation and powder cos they do funky stuff to my skin. Blusher is my own The Body Shop Cheek Colour 10 Sweet Nutmeg. One trick I learned to pop the cheeks out is to apply all the way to the temple. Lips are discontinued The Body Shop Lipstick 07 and Bobbi Brown Metallic Lip Color Beige Gold 5, another personal favorite.So, from here, I consider two products as the essential things you and I should have in our makeup bag apart from the basics (mascara, eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, blusher and the la la la):
1. The Eye Brightener: doubles as concealer and it's fuss free! Minimum blending required.
2. Metallic Lip Color Beige Gold 5: I absolutely love this color. You can wear it on its own for nude look or apply them on brighter shades. Alternatively, you can get Tinted Lip Balm in Champagne for a more subtle hint of shimmer.
I look forward to the free makeover next week. *Giddy*
