Welcome to The Tuesday Face, a new column that will be featured on *you guessed it* Tuesdays on Drop The Mask. I find FOTDs (aka Face Of The Day) quite enjoyable as they offer a quick review of a couple of products, suggest a way to use them and most importantly deliver a straightforward swatch en pleine action. You know I can be a bit - or a lot - wordy, so this will offer you a break and hopefully remain short and sweet. I'll try to be as creative as possible and feature different type of make-up looks, from your typical on-the-go looks to bolder, more evening-appropriate ones. I hope you enjoy them !
Base: Covergirl Ready Set Gorgeous, MAC Studio Finish concealer, Hourglass Ambient Lighting powder and blush, Illamasqua highlighter in Aurora, Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting powder. Eyes: L'Oréal infaillible eyeshadows in Amber Rush and Bronzed Taupe, Stila Kitten eyeshadow, Charlotte Tilbury mascara, MAC Teddy eyeliner. Lips: Suqqu lipstick and Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat in Pillowtalk.
I kept it fairly simple for the first Tuesday Face and came up with a soft warm smokey eye and a fresh base. As summer is coming to an end and knowing I'll have over four months to bore you with grungier looks and vampy lips, it felt only right to celebrate the warmer months one last time. To do so, I reached for a light base, used as little concealer as possible and generously applied a cream highlighter on the highest points of my face. What really inspired the whole look was two drugstore gems that I was itching to use for quite some time but somehow never got around picking out of my stack. Silly, silly me, I had no clue of how good they are. The L'Oréal infallible eyeshadows are epic in many ways; beautiful shade range, incredible pay-off, extra long-wearing, easy to work with and such a bargain ! I used Bronzed Taupe all over the lid and Amber Rush on my crease to warm up the look. I also used it on top of Bronzed Taupe for some extra sparkle, and voilà ! If you don't own those already, I'd highly recommend picking them up sooner rather than later because trust me, you're missing out on something big here.
