LOTD: Naturally Glamorous

This is one of my absolute favorite dark eye sort of makeup to wear! It's starting to become one of my go-to look. 

I used the Revlon CustomEyes palette in "Naturally Glamorous" for most of this, but I added a matte brown eyeshadow from the tarte for TrueBlood kit.

Face:

Moisturized face with Clean&Clear Dual Action Moisturizer

Primed with Rimmel Fix&Perfect Primer 02

Revlon Colorstay makeup for combination/oily skin in 110 Ivory 

Boiing Industrial Strength Concealer: 01

Set with Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder: Translucent 070-24

tarte for TrueBlood eyeshadow in "Dusk" was used as a cheek and nose contour

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in 720A Sunny used on cheeks

Revlon SkinLights in 02 Bare Lights used as highlight

Eyes:
Primed with tatre for TrueBlood lifted natural eye primer with Firmitol
All 5 colours in the Revlon "Naturally Glamorous" palette (colours weren't given names, just numbers) used:

1. On entire lid

4) Outer part of the lid

2) In crease and blended upwards

5) Used to deepen the crease

3) Inner eye highlight and brow highlight

tarte for TrueBlood colour "Werewolf" was used in the crease to darken it and blended upwards

Eyes lined with NYC Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in 931 Black, e.l.f. cream liner in black and topped with #5 from Revlon "Naturally Glamorous" palette

Upper lashline lined with elf cream liner in black

tarte's "Lights, Camera, Lashes" mascara was used with a coat of Ready to Wear Lash Extension on upper lashes and "Lights Camera Lashes" mascara used on lower lashes 

Eyebrows drawn in with NYC Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in 931 Black and set with NYX ES01 Black

Lips:

A light pink/nude lipgloss by Malibu Glitz (no idea what the colour is called or what it's numbers is). It's a strange "gloss" that has a very thick consistency (I could honestly use this as concealer, it's so thick...in fact, I have...o^_^o) and it dries matte. 

Everything was set with elf Makeup Mist & Set

Not Your Average Waitress

For c-mas, I got the tarte for True Blood palette and I absolutely love it (especially the mascara...oh my goodness, I can't even deal with how amazing it is! I have to get a new, full-size tube soon). So far, the only thing I'm not too crazy about is the eyeliner. It's like a gel liner in a tube, and it's super soft and breaks easily, so I have to use a brush. But it's a super creamy, dark black, so I can live with it :)

The palette comes with a little booklet that has 4 different looks and how to do them (it also says that they are "exclusive looks created by True Bloods award-winning lead makeup artist Brigitte Ellis)

None of the looks are really complex or complicated, but that's something I really love about them. They're simple and easy to do, yet are still very pretty and flattering.

The looks (in order of the picture above) are called "Not Your Average Waitress", "Luminous Fairy", "Vampy Vixen", and "Vamp Glam".


Today I did the look called "Not Your Average Waitress" for work. I love it and its been what I've been wearing to work almost every day now.
