Soft and Natural Makeup Look

I created a look that is both soft and natural - the shades lean warm and I think this is the 'perfect' office day wear look - I've been experimenting with the nude lip and softer palette. This look has colours that are a mix of natural, warm-neutral shades and gold/light pink shimmer:

I started this look with my MAC concealer palette and Laura Mercier Bisque tinted moisturizer. I then used MAC's 'all that glitters' eyeshadow as a highlight and eyeshadow shade. I used Grey Utility liner on the upper lashline and smudged it out with a mix of mystery and embark shadows using an angled brush. I used urban decay 'smoke' eyeliner on the lower lashline and loreal voluminous mascara in black. I also mixed two blush shades (a gold and pink-salmon shimmer shade) - I used MAC Trace Gold with Makeup up for ever #133 - To finish off the look, I lined my lips with Laura Mercier Chestnut Lipliner and filled them in with Loreal Doutzen's nude lipstick! There was a lot of 'mixing' going on to acheive this look, but I love that because its the best way to create custom colours that are right for you. This is the best trick for when you purchase a product that you don't like or that doesn't suit you and you are left wondering what to do - sometimes you can still make colours work by blending them in with other shades. Its also the best way to make your personal colour palettes work for you - mix shades and you will discover how colour harmony works to you advantage!!!
