The idea for this post has been shamelessly stolen from a hashtag that I spotted on Twitter. I thought it would be nice to show you what makeup I picked out to wear today. I don't have any face pictures, just a snap of the products I used but I was really pleased with how it turned out. I have been continuing with my efforts to pick out old favourites each day to mix with new items. NARS Brousse felt like a good choice for a Friday. It's a bit darker than I usually go for but it's nearly the weekend and I felt like doing something a bit different (you're probably thinking it's hardly wild but it isn't taupe and that's as wild as it usual gets around here!).

Now it's over to you, I'd love to hear what you picked for your 'Friday Face'. I'd also be interested to know if you change your makeup in the evening even if you're not going out?

Trying my new Naked 2 palette today, so wearing:
ReplyDeleteNars SG in Gobi
Nars Zen blush to contour
Guerlain Blush G from last year on the cheeks
UD Verve, YDK, Busted and Foxy from Naked 2
by lack of anything else in my bag, Clinique Black Honey lipstick (I thought I had Mac Fanfare with me, which I meant to wear, but nope)
I've never tried the original or the new Naked palette. How do you like it so far? You've reminded me that I meant to return to get matched for SG ages ago. I had a shade that was too light but really liked the finish. Thanks for the lightbulb moment!
DeleteAt the office today, I am wearing Armani Designer Lift foundation, YSL black eyeliner, Maybelline mascara, Milani blush, and Pacifica lip tint. You reminded me about LMDB Peau Vierge, I will need to pull this baby out when the weather warms up.
ReplyDeleteMy PV has lasted ages as I rotate it with other things. Every time I use it, I'm reminded how much I like it. What kind of coverage does the Armani Designer Lift have?
DeleteIt has good medium coverage and buildable. It feels heavier than Luminous Silk and suitable for normal to drier skins.
DeleteLiking the look of brousse! Today, I had to go for cream shadows as all my brushes were still damp from washing them last night. Sit was bare study and benefit skinny jeans
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a nice combination. I bet you would like Brousse, it's nice for a smoky eye look. It's one of my favourite NARS duos x
DeleteToday I wore a more pink eye look with Tainted and Junkshow from UD Anniversary palette, YSL gel eyeliner Ashy Black, MF 2000 Calorie mascara, Lily Lolo foundation, Benefit Dallas and RBR lipgloss in Blameless.
ReplyDeleteYSL gel eyeliner? I don't think I've come across these before. I love my YSL pencil, how do you rate the gels? Are they worth a look?
DeleteThey came out fairly recently with the Faux Cils Shocking mascaras. I really like them, nice creamy consistency to apply and stay put all day.
Deletewell you know what my eyes focussed in on there don't you, though I only see one level of the Kaleidoscope I know that I want it ;)
ReplyDeleteI like what you picked, I can see the colours would work very well together.
I wore some of that diego dalla palma stuff today, not made my mind up on it yet, something feels wrong with buying makeup from tesco direct..... xx
LOL at your Tesco direct comment. I'll be posting about the Kaleidoscope next week BUT, if you go along to my flickr account you can feast your eyes on a lot more photos. Just sayin' ;)
Deletexx
why its almost cruel directing me to even more loveliness on your flickr account ;)
DeleteI'm sure there are some other product pics on there that you haven't posted about yet, its like a sneaky peek :)
xx
There are indeed other things lurking in there that I haven't posted yet. Think of it as a little teaser ;D xx
DeleteNARS Grand Palais, black liner (as always), Chanel Rose Tourbillon, YS Rose Aphrodite were my color today. A lot of pink and rose for today :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I really like Grand Palais, much more than I had expected to. I must put than on my mental list of things to re-visit. :)
