FOTD : Understated Smokey Eye (Sleek Storm/Curacao Palettes)

Today marked my bi-annual hair cut – yes I’m so bad that I hate having my hair cut and only have it cut when totally necessary! As I’d had my hair blow dried after I thought I’d so a face of the day.

Makeup today was understated and subtle with slightly more definition on the eye (I was brave and used some black eyeshadow – be proud!!).

Here’s the look;

And here’s what I used;

Base: Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser in Shade 3, Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light 02, Benefit Oh La Lift, Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzer.

Cheeks: 17 Miami Pop Bronzer (Limited Edition), Sleek Contour Kit Shade Light.

Eyes: Benefit Lemon Aid (As primer), Sleek Storm Palette mainly with Curacao Palette (Inner corner of eyes and some definition in crease), Rimmel Day 2 Night Mascara (Black), Soap and Glory Arch de Triumph Brow Pencil (Shading in brows and also highlight for Brow bone).

Lips: Bourjois Effet 3D Brun Poetic (Colour 33)

I was going for subtle and wearable in the day and also a tanned look too – not quite glamazon heavy but subtle (I have school runs to do after all). Still trying to work out the best colours for my blue eyes to make them ‘pop’! What do you think? Would you have used different colours?

Lots of Love,

Mel xxxx
