Makeup of the Day - FOTD - Rosey Sienna & Pop of Blue

I just felt inspired to show you guys a breakdown of my makeup for the day today, so here we go!

I love being able to just sit down and play with makeup on weekend mornings. It's my favorite kind of "me time." And the most fun part is my makeup hardly ever goes in the same direction I thought I'd take it. It's fun to just see where your makeup takes you.

Last Breath of Summer : Makeup of the Day : FOTD

While thinking about doing my makeup this morning as I paged through Pinterest for inspiration, I kept coming across tons of dark, smoky, vampy looks that I wanted to play around with. I wanted so badly to just throw on my darkest lipstick and create the perfect deep brown smoky eye. However, once I sat down at my vanity, I decided to give summer one last hurrah, to go out with a bang and do something very colorful and fun. It's Labor Day here in the US, the symbolic end of summer, so here is the "Last Breath of Summer" just for the occasion!

Products Used:

Face:

Bobby Brown Extra Face Oil

Covergirl Outlast All Day Primer

Revlon Colorstay Oily Skin Foundation - 150 Buff

Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation - 20 Classic Ivory

Benefit Boi-ing Concealer - Light

ELF Mineral Concealer - Fair

Physicians Formula Multi Color Pressed Powder - Creamy Natural

Loreal True Match Lum Powder Glow Illuminator

Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush - Pampered (limited edition holiday 2014)

Benefit Hoola Bronzer

Milani Felt Tip Brow Tint Pen - Dark Brown

Eyes:

Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade - Dark Brown

Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer

Sleek Makeup I-Divine Eyeshadow Palette - Acid

Kat Von D Chrysallis Eyeshadow Palette

Rimmel ScandalEyes Eye Pencil - Nude

Maybelline Lash Discovery Waterproof Mascara

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara

ELF Studio Waterproof Mascara Top Coat

The eyes are totally matte, but so colorful. I originally wanted to make the main lid color a deep purple, but opted for white instead once it came down to it. The white makes the look even brighter, I think. 

Lips:

NYX Wonder Pencil - Light

Flower Beauty Luxury Lip Color - LS11 Morning Glory

Loreal True Match Lum Powder Glow Illuminator

It was impossible to get a good shot of the lips. They look so much cooler in person than I could possible get myself to capture on camera. They're super nude and washed out, but the center of my bottom lip and the cupid's bow on my top lip are highlighted with my face highlighter of the day. 

Thanks so much for reading!
