LOTD: Royal Blues (+ outfit)

By icyabstract · January 5, 2010 · 14 Comments ·

Very appropriate title, no? With the back to school/work dread. It could just be me trying to make too much of a connection here.
This was yesterday's Look of the Day and I am posting it late because I totally forgot about it after I got home yesterday

Hoping on the bandwagon, I had donned a simple blue smokey eye.
For those who don't get what I mean by 'bandwagon', it's because recently I've seen a number of youtube gurus suddenly doing tons of blue tutorials. Not sure if it is a rising trend. In my defense, it wasn't really a conscious decision of mine to use blue eyeshadow. I just took the shadows out, applied them and before you know, here I am supporting the masses.

But anyway, here's the look.
Because I was rushing to head out the house I couldn't take shots of these with my camera so you'll have to make do with crappy mac photobooth quality photos. It wasn't a very complicated look. Just blue and blended, so the idea is there (:

Products Used:
FACE
- Silky Girl 02 Foundation
- Revlon Loose Powder (to set)

EYES
- Urban Decay Primer Potion
- Silky Girl Blockbuster palette in Smokey Charm (blue shade)
- Revlon Colorstay quad in Sultry Smoke
- Revlon Colorstay quad in Nude Elements (highlight shade)
- Rhomlon e/s in black
- 28 color palette
- MAC powerpoint liner in Engraved
- Covergirl Lash Blast

CHEEKS
- MAC Powder blush in Eversun
- ELF healthy glow bronzing powder in Luminance

LIPS
- NYX Round Lipstick in Circe
- Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Raisin Glaze

As for the outfit, i threw on a really simple and comfy attire.
I thought to wear a jacket since it was a rather chilly day out yesterday and because I was heading to the cinema, might as well.

Initially I had the jacket zipped up like so, but just before I left, I decided to leave it unzipped. Mainly because the jacket kept pulling my blouse up and also the blouse sticking out seemed a little odd. In the picture it looks fine but that's because I adjusted it and all. If I were to walk around for a little, it'll start to get weird.

Awkward posing ftw~

I need to get a full length mirror. Hitting the 'take a photo' button and running into position in 3 seconds is quite stressful. haha!

Breakdown of my attire:
Jacket - From EDC (this haul)
White blouse - Cotton On
Leggings - the one from Hong Kong (grey pair)
Shoes (not pictured) - Converse, the regular cream white pair.

My outfits seem rather standard. Jacket + Leggings.
If only Singapore were a litle colder, I so wouldn't mind that...
But that is all, it's time for me to start getting ready for school if I don't want to be late for class.
Afternoon classes are quite awesome cause you get to sleep in, yet it's so hard to peel yourself away from the comfort of home.

Thank you all so much for reading!

@amyrleex Aw thank you!

@eyelashwishh Yeah their Blockbuster palettes are actually quite impressive. Especially the Smokey Charms one, really love the colors in there. And thanks (:

@debx Thank you. The blue is actually quite interesting because it does have a purplish sheen or some unique sheen to it.

@mya it looks like purple to me too, reminds me of MUFE N92, haha...

I like the outfit! So comfy and cosy too. Wish we have cooler weather here too, we can enjoy way better clothing options~

@artycraftyart Haha yeah, I'm most probably going to be doing a tutorial for this. And supposedly join the blue tutorial bandwagon too, haha, but yes people seem to like this look Laughing out loud

@heavenlygorgeous Now when I look at it, yeah it does come across purple. I think it's partially the camera picking it up weird too. Because I have seen how it looks in person so I perceive it as blue first. I think I'll take better photos when I do the tutorial so it looks a little more true to life. haha.

@retail_therapy The blue has slight shades of purple, though in person it's a bit more blue? It's one of those strange colors that don't photograph right. haha.

Aw thanks. Yes I do wish the weather was like how it was in November, I think? Where it was all cloudy and cold but yet it didn't rain all the time. That weather was awesome. Now it's like the sun is creeping back out.
