Bailaoragaditana's Aventuras

Just a quick look this morning before I get down to essay-writing and other fun things; this particular color combo (and application style) was inspired by my best friend in the whole wide world - her favorite color is green, she loves champagne eyeshadows like no other, and I don't think she'd know how to live life without black eyeliner and tons of mascara!

Base: Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream; Bobbi Brown Vitamin-Enriched Face Base; MAC Oil Control Lotion (t-zone only)

Face: Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Porcelain (under eyes); MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC15; MUFE Hi-Def powder

Brows: Bobbi Brown matte shadow in Mahogany

Lids: Too Faced Shadow Insurance; Stila Precious Pearl palette - white and green shadows

Liner: Bobbi Brown gel liner in Black Ink, applied to upper lashline and upper waterline with the Sephora professionnel angled liner brush

Lashes: Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes! mascara (black), several coats

Cheeks: BE blush in Lovely

Lips: Hollister lipgloss in Nude (I think it's called Rose Shimmer on the UK website, however... which is really confusing)

The final look is, rather surprisingly, quite wearable (I think!). Also, I'm quite pleased that I managed to snap this one in the 5 seconds of bright sunshine that entered my room :-p

And, of course, with glasses:

Not that I'm out to prove that gasses don't have to mean boring eye makeup or anything... ;-)

I haven't used Studio Fix Fluid in ages, and I was reminded of how good it can be for heavier coverage - especially when my skin is a bit drier from the cold and powders make it look flaky. Also, I am majorly, majorly LOVING the Hollister gloss. It's become my holy grail nude gloss, and if I even hear rumors of it being discontinued, I might cry. And then buy 500 back-ups. That's how much I love it.

Anyway, thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed; I'm off to get some non-makeup-related work done! :-p
