Morocco Wildfire

This was a VERY easy and simple look using three different shades of blue from NYX- Morocco (a deep, satin blue, Iris- a bright, matte turquoise and Wildfire- a shimmery blue green). I also attempted to inch away from my usual nude/ neutral lips and added a soft, pinky peach lip color from MAC- Over Indulgence. I'm not a very big fan of bold lips colors for myself but I will try them.

Eyes:

Two Faced Shadow Insurance (shadow primer)

NYX Jumbo Pencil- Milk (shadow base)

NYX Morocco e/s (lid)

NYX Iris e/s (above Morocco up to crease)

NYX Wildfire (crease to brow bone)

Lorac Serenity e/s (highlight)

MAC Embark e/s (brows)

NYX Mascara (upper & lower lashline)

MUFE Aqua Color Liner-Silver (lower lash line & water line)

Face:

MAC NC50 Studio Tech (foundation)

MAC NW43 Studio Fix (powder)

MAC Breezy (blush)

Lips:

MAC Over Indulgence Cremesheen Gloss

Rainy Sunshine....

As usual, I struggle to name my makeup looks but this one, although it's quite an oxymoron, is actually realistic also because sometimes, even though it's pouring rain outside, the sun is still shining through. Sometimes the clouds and the sky look so mean yet, peeking through those clouds, is the sunshine.

So with no further delay, here's the look I came up with using only 3 simple colors- black, yellow and white (Rainy Sunshine).

Eyes:
Two Faced Shadow Insurance (e/s primer)
NYX Jumbo Pencil (Milk- inner lid)
NYX Jumbo Pencil (Yellow- mid to outer lid)
NYX White e/s (inner lid)
NYX Yellow Funk e/s (mid lid up to crease)
NYX Odyssey (outer "v" & lower lash line)
NYX Liquid Liner (Black- upper lashline)
Urban Decay e/s (Sin- highlight)
MAC Embark e/s (brows)
Maybeline Volum' Express (mascara)

Face:
MAC NC50 Studio Tech (foundation)
MAC NW45 Studio Fix (powder)
MAC Raizin' (blush)

Lips:
MAC Beaux Lipgloss
