Eye look was a smokey taupe, here’s how:
- Step 1: Apply Paul & Joe Eye Gloss in Murmur 05 on lids (for asian eyes, 1/2 way up eye from lash to middle of eye, heavier near lash line)
- Step 2: Apply Bobbi Brown Java Metallic from lash to 1/2 way up lid for a smokey eye, also heavier near lash line
- Step 3: Apply MAC Naked Dark Pigment over center of eye to blend out any harsh lines from the darker shades
- Step 4: Apply Bobbi Brown Seashell Shimmerwash from brow downwards softly to create a subtle highlight
- Step 5: Curl lashes and apply mascara
Feedback appreciated! Too much info in one post? Is the look too casual to write about? Would you style the top differently? I like that it can be dressed up a little with a nice skirt or dress pants. But it’s nice as a loungy-carefree-top too. Being in Southern California – my daily style is pretty casual.
I already did a lip swatch and EOTD attempt – neither turned out decent this morning. I’ll try and feature the Paul & Joe Lip Lacquer by itself in another post in the near future.
I love the shell color on your nails, so subtle and pretty. It really blens into your outfit also. ^0^
The casual look is prevalent in the summer and it's so important that everything looks pulled together and neat. A great post with all the details!
ahhh i'm dying for my own bottle of nouvelle vague.. pretty much my favourite colour! x
1) You look great, as usual!
2) No, this is not too casual a look to post. any look is a good look to post! IMHO 🙂
3) So happy I made Nouvelle Vague a must have! I can see why you are liking it. It looks fantastic! I haven't used mine yet, but you have inspired my next manicure/pedicure. Thank you!
4) And most important of all….can I have Mr. Jake? What a cutie!!!!
love the look, love the info, please share how you use your MAC naked dark?
Crystal – I really love Django too! It's creamy perfection 🙂
Stephanie – Nouvelle Vague is amazing. I am not a blue-type of girl and I actually like this one a lot.
Z' – Thanks for the feedback!
Lori – TY 🙂 Yes you can have Jake. He's a bad dog. He bites, marks, has destroyed 2 couches, our leather ottoman, and goes rabid when the mail/fedex/UPS trucks come.
Jbrobeck – Just updated the post for you on how I used the MAC pigment. HTH some!
love the striped shirt, so cute. and nauvelle vague is gorgeous!
I love the Chanel shade on your toes! So pretty against your skin tone.
Gorgeous combination of colours, I thin the blue Chanel polish is such a perfect summer choice!
These are my favorite kind of posts. Thank you SO much! –Nina
wow those nail polishes are incredible! how exactly do you wear the chanel illuminator?
I love the blue nail color, I'm wearing a similar one also, it's POI "For Audry".
I am undeterred! I still want Jake! ; )
The outfit is perfect for summer…Its simple and cool!
Again I have the same comment:Everything is so well co-ordinated. (EISWC)
