A Pop of Blue: Face of the Day

Hey guys! Today I'm coming to you after watching a very exciting World Cup match! USA vs. Germany didn't dissapoint! I was obviously rooting for the U.S. to win, but I love Germany's team as well so I'm really glad both teams qualified!

Today's is a short post and I'll just show you my 'Face of the Day'. A more apt description would be 'eyes of the day' since that was the focus! 

I used two main eyeshadow duos for this look, which kind of became my focus!

I used the Ulta Baked Eyeshadow Duo in 'Deep Blue Something' which is this gorgeous duo, one dark blue shade and one "oceanic" shade (which is what it looks like to me). It's sparkly and gorgeous! Ulta had a 2 for $8 sale on eye products so it was a great deal! 

I also used the L'Oreal Studio Secrets HiP Professional Metallic Duos in the shade 'Platinum'. It has one super shimmery silver side and a black shimmer side. I love these eyeshadows.

I really love how this look turned out. The sparkle of the shadows looks both blue, silver, and grey and makes for such an amazing shine. 

I just used the lighter blue side of the Ulta shadows for my inner eye, then blended out the dark blue in my crease, adding the black shimmer shade from the Metallic duo. Lastly, I packed on the silver shade from the Metallic duo on the center of my lid.

Easy easy easy.

And because it's all the same type of 'shimmer' shadows, they all blended together nicely.

Hope everyone has had a great day so far!

Face of the Day

Happy Sunday! And Happy Father's Day!

Today's post is pretty simple. It's my 'Face of the Day'

The look is really simple and easy to accomplish! Other than my base routine (primer, bb cream, concealer, powder, blush) all I used was the Maybelline Eyeshadow Quad in Lavender Smokes. I don't buy Maybelline Eyeshadow that often but I loved the purple in this so I thought I'd try it out! 

In addition to the purple shadows, I used NYX's Butter Gloss in Vanilla Cream Pie which is such a nice, soft pink that goes lovely with the purple.

All I did to accomplish this eye look was to take the light pink shade and spread it all over my lid. I also spread the bright purple shade and spread it all over my lid, pushing it into the crease a little. Next I took a big, fluffy blending brush and took the 'crease' color which is a gray-purple and took that color and worked it into the crease. Finally, I took the darkest purple shade and lined my upper and lower lash line with it. 

To finish it, I applied a black liquid liner and mascara!

Voila! My 'Face of the Day'
