It seems I need to work on rotating my bases and blushes...I took a snap of my daily makeup for a week and love being able to pick up patterns in the photos! I am very much into neutral eyes at the moment (and you can see I hauled towards the end of the week!) and lips have been quite low key most of the time.
Getting back into a Nars frame of mind, the standout for this lazy errand day with my sister in law was definitely the taupe shade from the Grand Palais duo.
Sticking the the Nars trend but stuck Lorac Pewter over the top for some jazz! I went wedding shopping with Mumma Bovary and oh she looks stunning in her 'mother of the bride' dress!
Working out how to pull off silver eyeshadow and wearing my beloved MAC Poised blush. After dinner we hand delivered a stack of wedding invitations and it felt so good!
Tried to keep the eyes nice and simple with Burberry Pale Barley, as this was the only day this week that I wore a bright lip! Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in 02 Frambourjoise was the lip of choice, and thank goodness the lasting power is great because I forgot to bring it along with me for touch-ups!
A relatively makeup free day, I evened out my complexion (I'm currently in a terrible skin phase...) and added mascara to feel human. Cake batter lip balm, by the way? Genius!
I told you it was Nars-centric! I chose to try out Nars Orgasm blush (from the Danmari Cheek Palette) this time around, as I still don't love it as much as everyone else seems to. The Turkish Delight gloss is a whole other story though, I adore that pale pink shade.
As soon as my Nars And God Created the Woman palette arrived I snapped the obligatory blogger shots then threw it on my lids. Absolutely swooning over this tiny palette.
I'm the kind of person who finds a base she likes and sticks to it, and Illamasqua Skin Base is no exception. It's one of the few foundations that matches my pale skin but I have been needing a whole lotta undereye concealer lately, so had to pop some YSL Touche Éclat over the top of my Maybelline Age Rewind to make things half-decent.
So that is my makeup diary for the week! If you like peeking into the makeup bloggers use everyday, check out Liz's post which is what inspired me to keep my makeup diary! If you want to know more about anything in these shots just let me know, I would love to chat more about them.
Do you wear similar products for your everyday style?
What blush gets a heavy rotation for you?

ReplyDeleteChloé⎪à la foliee
I tend to always reach for palettes over singles, mixing it up is always good though. It is the Lady Grey!
DeleteOOOO...I love your snaps of your daily make up items! I would love to have that NARS blush palette and that mega plush mascara looks awesome! Silvery type looks really suit your complexion! I prefer to go gold with my eye looks!
ReplyDeletethanks doll - I love the packaging of Mega Plush, very pretty. I actually find it really hard to wear silver and cool tones!
DeleteI wear a lot of the same thing over and over, especially base products.
ReplyDeleteI just find it so comfortable to use the same base products, but then when I run out I feel tired just thinking about testing new ones haha
DeleteLove the idea of a makeup diary, Emma! We seem to use many of the same products! xx
ReplyDeleteWe like the good stuff ;) loving your nail posts at the moment!
DeleteLove the idea of a makeup diary! I really need to switch up my bases too... if I had a diary, it would literally be the same products every day!

It is just easier to reach for the things that are right there lol! I guess it is better to use things up so maybe I should look at it that way
DeleteI love this post feature! What a great idea babe!
ReplyDeleteIt makes you realise how much makeup you actually have doing different looks!
Thanks Nikita - I have so much makeup it is getting ridiculous lol I could never do a makeup collection post it would be shameful lol
DeleteYay, goodies! Thanks for reminding me about NARS Grand Palais. I actually really like that duo but it's baffling that I never remember its existence.
ReplyDeleteI always forget about it too, how strange!?
