Minty OOTD & Twenty-Two Days of Taupe: Day 18

Hello Everyone! I am back with another taupe makeup look–and an outfit of the day post. I absolutely love this mint green blazer–it’s that perfect pastel green for Spring. Whenever I look at it, I feel super inspired to wear the blazer with a silvery taupe eye but always talk myself out of it.

Today I decided to give the silvery taupe eye/ mint green blazer a go and I’m quite pleased with how it came out. I wanted to break out my beloved Modalu Pippa bag BUT it was raining all day so I took a nude bag out instead.

For hair, I went with a sleek & high bun–you can’t go wrong with a blazer and sleek updo–soooo chic.

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a taupe makeup post this look was inspired by my latest issue of Glamour Magazine–I was flipping through and saw this beautiful messy yet sexy taupey makeup. I think it looks fabulous on the model but I don’t think the messy part would have looked too good while running errands! I cleaned it up, smoked it out and gave it my Nancy Valentino flare *lol*

I’m also including some photos with my new faux Alexander McQueen scarf. The man was a fucking genius (*RIP*) however, this chick can’t not afford his beautiful pieces so I’ve gone with faux & slightly tacky–I love it though.

Eyes:
-L’Oreal Infailible Eye Shadow in Bronzed Taupe
-MAC Wedge e/s
-Wet n’ Wild Sugar e/s
-MAC Black Tied e/s
-Yves Rocher Cristal Pigment
-NYX Cottage Cheese & Milk e/s pencil(s)
-L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara
-Urban Decay Perversion eye liner
-NYX Black Bean e/s pencil

Face:
-Physician’s Formula Highlighter
-NARS Laguna Bronzer
-Coty Airspun

Lips:
-Revlon Lip Butter in Creamsicle
-NYX Sugar Pie lipgloss

Simple Pony. Black tee. Skinnies. A cute scarf–Love.

My husband took this piccy while we were messing around but I think you can see the highlight color on my cheekbone so I decided to use it :)

Twenty-Two Days of Taupe: Day 13

Hello all my beautiful readers! Today I bring you another look in my Twenty-Two Days of Taupe series. I used my Physician’s Formula Nude palette. I’ve heard people compare this to the Naked 2 palette, however, I just don’t agree. The Naked 2 Palette is easy to work with and the pigmentation is up to par whereas the PF Nude palette is not very pigmented and you have to really build up the color using primer and a good base. This is my second time working with this palette and I was very pleased with how this look came together. Last time I did not use a base and the colors looked very muddy.

I’ve found a great base that compliments this palette so I’m very certain I will get a lot of use out of this little gem!  For my outfit of the day…I went simple chic-I wore a black blazer with a black cami, over-sized pearls, skinny jeans and platform black pumps. See? Simple Chic! *lol*

Here is a breakdown of today’s look:
EYES:
-MAC Painterly Paint Pot
-Physician’s Formula Nude Palette
-Maybelline Tough As Taupe 24-7 Eye Shadow
-NYX e/s Pencil in Cottage Cheese
-MAC Wedge e/s
-MUFE Smoky Lash
-Cover Girl Lash Blast
-MAC Feline Kohl Power

FACE:
-Laneige Snow Radiant Blusher
-NARS Luxor Multiple Stick
-NARS Laguna Bronzer
-Finishing Powder

LIPS:
-MAC Fashion Fanatic Plushglass
-Sleek Baby Doll Lipstick
