Illamasqua Week - FOTD 4

A more exciting look today :)



I actually think it's quite flattering!

Face: Cargo foundation, ELF concealer, Illamasqua Loose powder in LP005, Illamasqua powder blush in Nymph, Illamasqua Illuminatior in Fondle.

Eyes: Lancome Oscillation mascara in black, Illamasqua powder blush in Nymph, Illamasqua powder eyeshadow in Sylph and Rasp, Illamasqua Medium Pencil in Whiplash.

Lips: Illamasqua medium pencil in Whiplash, Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Torrid.

Here's a brief how-to if anyone wants to copy this look :)
I prepared my face as usual (today i wanted fuller coverage so i used a new foundation, review coming soon) then lightly applied powder with a flat-top brush. Then i applied blush quite heavilly in a 'c' shape from my temples to cheekbones then i used the illuminator lightly over the blush. I applied the same blush colour lightly over my eyelids, then used a darker, bright pink eyeshadow on the outer v, crease and under my eye. I used Sylph, a light iridescent shadow on my browbone and the inner corners of my eyes then used the medium pencil in Whiplash on my waterline and finished off with mascara. Then i used the pencil again to line my lips (following their natural line) and fill them in completely before topping them off with torrid lip gloss using a lip brush.

In other news, my bolshy sister managed to get my bank charges halved, so i'm very pleased :)
And yes i know my eyebrows look very silly :P

  1. Great news about your sister!

    Why do your eyebrows look silly? I thought they complemented the interestingness of the look. But hen again mine are super larege and pale so maybe that's what people think of mine. But no, I stand by my eybrows!! who want's to be a clone of everyone else....
    Great look including the eyebrows!

  7. ...I love the word bolshy. Congrats on getting your bank charges halved!

    I just read your reply to my question about your eyelashes: wow, you're so lucky! D=

    It might be just my imagination but I think I can see what you meant about the Illuminator in these pics. Your face has a lovely glow to it :)

  9. Hehe, "bolshy." Normally I think that unusual lip colors look terrible on most, and are better left for photoshoots. But with the eye makeup, I think you look great. You look like an anime character with 3-D eyebrows :)

  16. Pink & Green! Prizewinning combination.
    I have got to get some of those Intense Glosses. I mainly have cheap (albeit good) colourful lip stuff, I should get something posh for a change.
