Today's Make Up: Green & Orange

Hello all! How are you doing this fine Thursday? I'm having the most wonderful day because I slept soundly like a baby all through the night. I woke up refresh and re-energize, ready to take on the day; which I do need because I had to accompany my Grandmother to her doctors' appointments all day.

Lack of sleep for just one night visibly took a toll on me physically, I'm still a Panda... :( Thank goodness for heavy duty concealers!! I used the lighter side to conceal my dark circles and the side that matches my skin tone on other minor blemishes. Although this concealer is in a stick form, it isn't dried as other stick concealers. I didn't need full coverage today so I chose to wear a BB Cream. With this specific BB Cream, I do not use a brush to apply but rather with clean fingers. In my opinion, the beads are distributed more evenly with fingers. Because this BB Cream has very light coverage, I decided to set it with a rather full coverage powder like L'Oreal True Match. I contour and highlight with my favorite bronzer and highlighter like I normally would. To finish off my face, I used a bold orange blush and with a super light hand, I applied the blush to the apple of my cheeks. This Rosy Cheeks is crazily pigmented, apply it with a bit of force and you're a clown. Gently does it.

I prepped my eyes by priming it, this will ensure no creasing and fading midday. With a flat eyeshadow brush, I packed Champagne all over my lids and inner corner.  I pulled it slightly above my crease and ended it at my outer corner. With a clean fluffy brush, I lightly dab the brush into the shadow and dust that on my browbone then still using the brush, start buffing out the edges to clean 'em up. I thinly lined my upper lash line with my favorite liquid liner and did not extend, flick or wing it out whatsoever. It ended where my lash line ended. I rimmed my lower waterline with a Nude pencil liner to open up my eyes a bit before taking the green Creme Shadow Pencil to my lower lash line. I started at the outer corner of my lower lash line and worked my way in, all the way to the inner corner. Starting from the outer corner again, I went over the previous line, this time stopping 2/3 way in. I repeat for the third time, only this time I stoped 1/3 way in. With a detail or smudger brush, I kinda just lightly go over the cream shadow to even everything out. Don't press too hard because that might end up picking up the shadow itself. Using the Eyeliner side, I start lining a third of my lower lash liner starting from the inner corner. With the Shadow side (the bigger end), I go over the liner. This just basically soften it up a bit. With a clean finger, I lightly smudge the transition point of the green and pearl so they'll blend together. Lastly I curl my lashes and apply a coat of mascara to the top and bottom lashes.

I think orange paired with green is such a lovely combination. With the green under my eyes and orange on my cheeks, my lips should be orange also. After I thoroughly scrubbed my lips and applied lip balm to it, I took my Revlon Balm Stain in Rendezvous to the inner part of my lips, top and bottom. I let that sit for two minutes before going over it again, dabbing it with my fingers afterward. Then I take the NYX Butter Gloss in Apple Strudel and applied that all over my lips to give it some shine and color.

After everything is applied and I'm ready to head out, I used Avene Thermal Spring Water to set. I am currently still testing this out but from what I can see, this really helps keep my make up in place and controls the oil on my T-zone.

Thank you for visiting and thanks a bunch for reading guys. :)
