BLOSSOMING FACE OF THE DAY: GOLD HIGHLIGHT USING EYESHADOW!

Hey Blossoms,

I haven't done a FOTD for a while. Although I've taken the photos numerous times to do so it always slips my mind when it comes time to blog. I recently attended a Memorial Day Service with my boyfriend and his family. His parents are Jehovah's Witnesses and this is a huge celebration for them. Although neither him nor I are Jehovah's Witnesses we were still extended an invitation. I attended last year and again this year. Its always a nice service as everyone is so kind and bible scriptures are read. Although I do not claim any denomination I do believe in God. The event only lasts an hour.

The women dress modestly and the men dress in suits. I definitely didnt want my makeup to stand out too much especially since I was a guest and not a part of the congregation but I still wanted to look polished. I opted to center the look around a GOLD HIGHLIGHT at the prominent parts on my face: bridge of nose, cheek bones, brow arch.

What I used to achieve the look...

Face

Cover Fx Primer
Maybelline 24hr Stay Liquid Foundation in Dark Cocoa
LA Pro HD Concealer in Toast (under eye)
Cover Fx Mattifiying Powder
MAC MSF in Deep Dark

Eyes

All Wet n Wild shimmer E/s (I've depotted them all so I'm unsure what palette but I own all of the palettes)
bronze shimmer e/s on lid
burgundy shimmer e/s in crease
black matte e/s in outter v & crease
gold with burgundy specks e/s as brow highlight
gold shimmer e/s at inner tear duct
NYX Liquid Eyeliner in black
L'oreal Voluminous Masacara in Black
WnW Eye liner in Gold (along bottom lash line & set with burgundy shimmer e/s from crease)


Cheeks

Black Radiance blush in Warm Honey
WnW gold shimmer e/s to highlight bridge of nose, chin & cheek bones

LIPS

Lip balm

HERE'S THE FINAL LOOK....


I'm pictured here with my wonderful boyfriend who I affectionately call Handsome (for obvious reasons). He is the designer behind my logo (shown at the beginning of all my Youtube videos). We were headed out to an event and I was able to snap this picture before we left his parents home.

Have any of you ever used a shimmer eyeshadow to highlight? matte eyeshadow to contour(I didn't use one here)?

Until Next Time

Later Blossoms!
