Read My Lips: Brooklyn Babe

October 31, 2009

Hello all, and happy Halloween! I'm saddled with tons of work this weekend, so I'm unfortunately not doing anything costume-y tonight, but I thought I'd post the look I wore yesterday (for lectures and a graduate seminar, not quite as exciting as party I'm afraid...) because I quite liked how the lips turned out - dark pinky-brown, with a few hints of red... perfect for fall, just the right amount of boldness to cause a stir, and "normal" enough to wear out of the house!

Base: Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream; Garnier PureActive 24-Hour Moisturizer

Face: Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil (all over as base and finishing powder); BE foundation in Fair (as foundation and concealer)

Brows: Bobbi Brown matte shadow in Mahogany

Lids: Too Faced Shadow Insurance; Stila shadows in Wheat (all over lid), Golightly (in crease), and Starlight (browbone)

Liner: Bobbi Brown gel liner in Black Ink

Lashes: BE BuxomLash (black); a small amount of Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! (also black) on tips

Cheeks: BE blush in Poppy

Lips: BE Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Stick in Brooklyn, topped with liberal amounts of MAC lipglass in Soft & Slow

I'd better stop procrastinating and get back to work. Hope you all have a great Halloween, and thanks for reading!
