LOTD: Slight Maquillage Feature #2 (& Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick)

By icyabstract · July 1, 2010 · 11 Comments ·

Another LOTD post! I had wanted to post photos from my graduation and do a vlog entry but since I don't have those photos on hand now I'll post up some other entries that are sitting in the 'holding' area. Namely this one!

This is a rather old Look of the Day, though one that I had repeatedly done during my hectic final project period. I would explain why I favored this look in just a bit but for now here are the photos and the list of products I had used. In some photos you can see the ulcers formed from where I had accidentally bit my lip, please don't mind that.

Products Used:

FACE/BROW
Etude House Baby Skin Foundation in 02
Revlon Loose Powder (to set)
K-Palette Brow Liner in 02

EYES
Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer
Maquillage Palette in BE763 (middle color - all over lid)
L'oreal Palette in Golden Tan/Fair (dark and medium brown - crease and outer-v)
28 Color Palette (highlight)
MAC Powerpoint Liner in Engraved
Majolica Majorca Mascara
K-Palette Mascara (layered over the MM one)

CHEEKS
Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar

LIPS
Maquillage Perfect Lip Rouge in PK112



Highlighted products had been provided to me by companies/distributors.

I didn't layer on much of the Bobbi Brown shimmer brick for it to show up very obviously. This is a product that does require some building up for a more obvious effect. I don't mind that so much since that means I don't have to be overly cautious with how much I pick up with the brush and I can simply swirl away!

The all over lid color I used in this LOTD was from the Maquillage Palette in BE763 (the middle color). As mentioned in an earlier LOTD featuring this palette, I love how the eyeshadow shades have this brightening and light-reflecting effect. Sort of like how it is captured in this photo:

I like how this effect seems to 'give life' to the eyes by making it seem brighter and more awake. I have learnt that putting makeup on tired eyes (from the lack of sleep) can sometimes enhance how tired and dull it looks, so I turned to using brighter shadows and voila it worked!

I have probably been repeating how these shadows have a brightening effect and you are all bored of it by now, but I am amazed at how pretty the sheen of these shadows are. Not gritty or 'oily' looking, just a perfect sheen. I do love the lipstick color as well and this shade seems to be my favorite of the ones I ended up with. More about those in future. I'm planning to do a lipswatch entry since I haven't done that, look out for it!

Thanks for reading and I'll try to post more colored looks now! Or at least stray from neutrals for a bit.

I like your lips, it kinda appears to me like its made of sweet pink frosted glass cos the bottom lip is so reflective. =) Your 2nd pic is cute with your little smile. ^_,^ As usual, I've always liked nudey looks! So perfectly done~

I agree with you, the photos of your lids look very 3D because of the shimmer.

miwitch: Ooh yeap the lipstick is very reflective too! It's glossy with shimmer at the same time, super 3-dimensional looking Laughing out loud

Imee Li: Thanks so much!

everbluec: Haha yeap. I gave it a bit of love the past few weeks, going to have to start rotating my eyeshadows now. It's always fun to 'go back' to something and try it out again.

Nice neutral look, I've been into neutral colours recently too, but only 1 colour as I'm hooked onto using MUFE's aqua cream shadows.
