Subtle, Feminine, Pretty

The last few posts that I did centering around my favourite 'look' each have a common thread - subtle smokey eyes, a healthy glow, a natural pop of colour on the cheeks, a your lips but better lip-colour.  I attended a wedding yesterday and although I went totally glam for the evening, I wanted to create that harmonious, subtle yet sensual look for the ceremony.  Here is the look that I came up with:


I will have to decribe some of the colours that I used because many of the shades were part of a kit that I got from the makeup collage that I attended.  I started with my basic face - primer, NARS St. Moritz, Secret Camoflauge #4 as concealer and a translucent powder from my kit.  I then used a deeper dusky rose shade as a contour and applied a pale pink shade as a pop of colour to the cheeks.  I used warm brown shadows on the eyes with a colour similar to woodwinked on the lid.  I then used Cliniques Black-brown eyeliner on the upper lashline and smuded it with a black-brown toned eyeshadow.  I applied MAC's Teddy to the lower lashline and finished with black mascara.  For my lips, I applied MAC's Soar lipliner and topped it with Chanel's Glossimer #158
