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 :)

I decided it’d be easier to do a separate makeup post…too much going on today to make into one blog post that made any sense. Click here to see the full OOTD:

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

So sorry for the lack of decent hair in recent makeup of the day post! I’ve been short on time & throwing my hair in a big coconut (what I call the hairstyle) has been convenient.

-MAC Painterly Paint Pot
-A Silver Base
-LA Splash Heavy Metal Smokey Duo
-NYX Cottage Cheese Jumbo Eye Shadow Pencil
-MAC Feline Kohl Power

Today was so dreary out so I went all black and added a gray scarf–nothing fancy :)

Today’s taupe look is a bit more on the warmer side. Most of the colors used were from the Urban Decay Naked Palette. Believe it or not, this is my first time doing a taupe look with my Naked palette and I’ve owned this palette since July 2010!!!! Shame on me!

On a side note, I can’t tell you how much I’ve been diggin’ my berets! I only own three–very typical neural colors (to go with everything) but I think I may venture into different color ones–they are simply fabulous. Ugh–I can’t get enough!

And here is a breakdown of the look:

EYES-
-MAC Painterly Paint Pot
-UD Sidecar
-UD Virgin
-MAC Carbon
-UD Creep
-UD Sin
-MAC Wedge (You could use UD Naked)
-Urban Decay Zero Eye Liner
-MUFE Smoky Lash
-L’Oreal Carbon Black Mascara

FACE-
-NARS Laguna Bronzer
-MAC Cream Colour Base in Luna
-MAC Lightscapade Mineralize Skinfinish
-Finishing Powder

LIPS-
-NYX Strawberry Milk
-MAC Fashion Scoop

Quick outfit of the day–I’ve been into rockin’ a sweater and jeans lately–my comfy glam look-lol! It’s been so cold–who feels like dressing to the nines in this weather? Spring, where are you? O_o

The beret is from Forever 21, sweater is from Old Navy, jeans are from Forever 21.

My necklaces are from Charlotte Russe & my boots are from eBay. (*insert cheesy pose & smile in*) *lol* I LOVE these boots and need to get a new heel since I’ve worn these heels out.
