fotd

i've been lacking in fotd's recently. one of the reasons is that i can never find decent lighting at my house to take photos. i had my set up at uni perfect, but i find at home that lighting is always so inconvienient. it was my mums birthday on friday but because i was working late we went out for a meal this evening. we went to cafe rouge which was really yum and i had a crock monseuir :).

on my face i used:

boots 17 photo flawless primer

estee lauder double wear 4n1 wheat

too faced absolutely flawless concealer honey

too faced amazing face powder foundation honey beige

nars bronzer laguna

nars blush douceur

sleek contour kit medium

on my eyes:

mac eyeshadow cork on my brows

elf brow set ash

udpp

mua professional palette heaven and earth

illamasqua pure pigment static

lancome hypnose drama

mac fluidline blacktrack

burts bees chapstick

mac lipstick creme cup

i'm not 100% sold on the mua professional palette. it's nice but not that pigmented and i have to work quite hard to get the shadows to show up. here i dusted a small amount of illamasqua pure pigment in static over to give it a pinky purple sheen. i love this lancome mascara also, i 'suffer' from really long eyelashes but they're super straight. this mascara gives them lift and curl which stays all day which is what i need from a mascara!
