Quick simple look for family dinner and Bourjois EOTD

Just wanted to drop in quickly and get this post out of the way otherwise I’ll forget about it. I haven’t had time recently do a post so I’m sorry, but I’m here to share two looks.


I was going to post them separately but it’s much easier and faster this way :p

Last night I went out to dinner with the family and it was very last minute. I got home and I was alone so I showered and pulled all that makeup off to let my face refresh. I then got a call not too long after from mum saying they decided to eat out that night and was to meet them in 45 minutes. Geez… not a great deal of time to change, brush my hair and do my makeup at all. The drive was 20 minutes so that really gave me under 30 minutes to do everything and be out of the door. I also had to feed the dog before I leave so it was one hell of a challenge.

I wasn’t stepping out naked face that night either, my face was not looking great so I had to do something really quick. Beside it’s a family dinner so no need to make it look all fancy right.


Here are the products I used for this look:

The Body Shop Moisturise it skin primer

Eve Pearl Anit-shine Mattifying Gel – A Light/Medium

Revlon New Complexion Foundation – 04 Natural Beige

Coastal Scents Camo Quad – Medium

MSCHIC Powder Blush – Warm Glow (I’m so loving this colour at the moment!)



Lips:

Vaseline – this is the first thing I put on before applying my makeup, I like to keep my lips nice and moist before any lip products is applied. I do wipe it off before apply gloss or lipstick though.

NYX Round Lip Gloss – 28 Whipped



Eyes:

I can’t even believe I had time to take photos, however I was 10 minutes late. Whoops!

Scary! Before any makeup application
Look at those massive dark circles :S

After makeup and hair was done as well as been changed.
What a BIG difference it makes :)

Messy hair still

Really close up of face.  I like it natural looking like this most of the time.
Dark circles are still obvious this close up

Just the eyes

I also took a photo of what I wore.  Not something I do on a regular basis since I’m quite self conscious about my weight and body shape.

Black Dress from Ally
Cardigan from Ally
Watch from Hong Kong, Mong Kok
Leggings from Target
I also realise how awkward my pose is!

The second look is just the eyes and I was in a rush (again). I decided to use some of my Bourjois eyeshadows that I had greatly neglected. Except this time round I applied them wet. Apparently that what they recommended but I’m not a big fan of applying shadows wet at all. However the pigmentation for these eyeshadows DO turn out a lot better. Nothing special for this look, just something neutral with a pop of colour.

Some people may be thinking what I used MAC Fixed + on my eyes, well I used this solution to wet my makeup brushes to apply the eyeshadow.  I find that this solution works really well when it comes to applying eyeshadows/pigments wet.  I’m not sure why exactly but I use it normally as a finishing/setting spray so I thought that if this keep things in place then would it do the same with eyeshadows after it dries?  Who knows… it was just something I thought to myself and had been doing that since.
