FOTD: Neutral, Smoky Eye using OFRA Cosmetics Pro Palette

This is yesterday’s face of the day (FOTD) that I posted on Instagram.  I used my OFRA Cosmetics Pro Palette (see here).  I can’t get enough of it.  If you have the Urban Decay Naked Palette it should be fairly easy for you to recreate this look.  I actually regret not buying two; one for my kit and one for myself.  Oh well, I have the next The Makeup Show New York to purchase one if OFRA Cosmetics is there.

 

 

Tools:

I know I normally do not add the tools I use; however, I know it can be beneficial to some people, especially if you have brushes you don’t know how to use.  If you are comfortable using a certain brush for a different purpose you’re welcome to. There are no real rules in makeup.

I finally used my Kissable Couture lipgloss.  I purchased it during The Makeup Show Holiday Pop-up shop last year.  It’s a pretty berry.  Comes out sheer.  Perfect for this fall season.

 

Makeup Looks: Diosa Nails

Below are some of the most recent makeup looks I’ve done. 

 

This is Diana, the owner of Diosa Nails.  I did her makeup for the Diosa photoshoot, as well as two models.

Diana wanted a natural makeup look.  To achieve that, I used MAC Face & Body Foundation to even out her skintone. I also used MAC Mineralize Skinfinish to contour. I even gave her lashes, which she was afraid of because she thought they would look too dramatic.  She was happy with the finished look.

 

This is the finished look…

 


Here is one of the models.  I added a pop of color to the upper and lower lashline using Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes liner.  She too has on MAC Face & Body Foundation.

 

FOTD: Grey Skies

 

This FOTD I’ve coined “Grey Skies” because I clearly can’t think of anything clever .:LOL:.  sorry people.  Seriously, I named it “grey skies” simply because I used some grey eyeshadows with some blue.  The color combination reminds me of a stormy day.
