makeup

i really like makeup. this is how i did my eyes every day for a while - quite a few months ago but i still like it, aside from the eyebrows.

recently i ran out of foundation and i've been looking for a new one - i used maybelline mousse for a while, which i like a lot; it's sort of medium coverage but it can be sheered down, goes on really nicely and lasts for a decent while. but i heard that high-end foundations are better, so when i ran out i went and got samples:

• chanel prolumiere
• m.a.c. satinfinish
• two bobbi brown foundations
• two stila foundations
• clinique
• estee lauder doublewear
• and i had a make up store sample from when i made friends with the lady working there.

this is what i wore today:

base: chanel prolumiere in 01 clair. it's a shade or two lighter than me. i tried the m.a.c. satinfinish but i think it had either oxidised or was just too dark/orange based, as every single foundation i've had from the mac booth has been also. they seem to always have one person who knows what she's doing and one that stands around and 'promotes the image'. but that's why i was white today: overcompensation. highlighted with fyrinnae's center stage on browbone, inner eye corner and cupid's bow.

eyes: da vinci pigment (i forget its name but it's a gorgeous gold-shimmered pink  loose powder), fyrinnae's sumatran tiger (i love this shadow so much. so much), fyrinnae's fyre & ice on the lashline. clinique mascara.

blush: fyrinnae's seduce and the little purple 'beauty mark' (red spot that wouldn't disappear) is fyrinnae's sennyo.

i had illamasqua's brink lipstick on my lips, sheered with a clear gloss, but these pictures were taken later in the evening and it had come off. that's why my eyebrows are so messy, i don't own a brow gel and they never stay put.

have a good day.
