No-Makeup Makeup

Today we’ve got two looks from the last two weeks, both nice, natural, and very suitable for daytime wear.  I’ve just got a new mineral powder foundation which matches my skin tone- although sometimes it comes out a little TOO pink- which inspired me to do looks that are that quintessential “no makeup” makeup style.

 

On another note, my leg is much better!  All the bruising is gone, and the deep grazes are healing well, although slowly.  Where the ankle and foot strap were on my heels still hurts like hell though, but other than that.  Yay!  Getting better!

 

Take a look at the makeup after the jump.

For both daytime looks, I used the same products for my base:

Thin Lizzy Pressed Mineral Powder in Enchanted Rose

Thin Lizzy Concealer in Enchanted Rose

Elizabeth Arden Blush in Pink Mauve

 

This look is good for at school, where you’re not meant to wear makeup, or if you just want a quick look to throw on at an occasion where not much makeup is required.  I kept products to a minimum, to ensure it’s a quick look to piece together.

What I used:

Eyes:

Blackbox eyeshadow in matte nude

Colormania mascara in brown-black

Lips: Za Lipstick in baby pink (not sure what the exact code is, because it’s come off.  oops.)

 

 

 

This look is a more summery, sun-friendly look, perfect for heading out to the beach or a nice summer picnic.  I also added in a very tough waterproof mascara so if you did wear this to the beach, it wouldn’t run everywhere.  The Thin Lizzy concealer I used in this look is also waterproof.

Face:

Designer Brands pressed powder foundation in Medium

Eyes:

Maxfactor False Lash Effect mascara in Black (waterproof)

Lips:

Burts Bees Beeswax and Pomegranate lip balm
