EOTD: Naked Black

I was browsing the interwebs yesterday and I stumbled upon a lovely French beauty blog called 'Mon Petit Coin Beauté' and I fell in love with her 'Naked Black' makeup of the day, so I decided to recreate it, using a few different products because I don't own Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette. So these steps are all hers, I just interpreted them with my own brushes and products. Plus, I translated her steps into English, for not everyone understands French (trust me, it was a struggle for me as well!)

Products used & steps made

NYX jumbo pencil in Milk over the moving eyelid

Naked from UD Naked palette over the moving eyelid

Little Black Dress from The Body Shop LE A la Mode palette in the outer corner and the crease

Scene from MAC used to blend out the black

Vanilla from MAC used as a browbone highlight

Peggy Sage kohl liner in Noir on the upper and lower lashline

Bourjois Volumizer mascara

and the obligatory full face, which I always dread

FOTD: Pink Nouveau and 60's liner

My very first face of the day, I always feel awkward posting pictures of my face. Or taking pictures of my face, for that instance. But I was so satisfied with this particular look that I felt the need to blog it. It's been my go to look for a while now, with the lipstick color changing every once in a while from pink to red to mauve. Sometimes even a nude color, or no color. But it's usually bright.

I adore bright lipstick. It's so simple, but makes such a difference. The thick liner changes the shape of my eyes ever so slightly, giving them a more cat shaped appearance.

For my skin I used a foundation that has been my favorite for quite some time now. I love the effect and the color it gives my skin. It's the only foundation that doesn't change my skin at all. It doesn't make me break out nor does it make me look dry or oily. It's just perfect. And it should. FOR THAT PRICE!!

This one really does it, right? Oh how I hate staring straight into a camera. But I really needed to show a proper swatch of the lipstick on my actual lips. You can't really see the eyeliner in this one, but it needed to be shown. So...

Oh yeah. I CHANGED MY HAIR COLOR! Not sure if you know. But it's much darker now. I'm really happy with it. I love how it makes me look slightly paler. Looks good with my dark eyes, no?
