Holy moly, look how wet my skin looks! I dig it. With the help of Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation and the flash on my camera I totally nailed one of the runway trends in this look! On the runway this year and in every current episode of any style magazine you will all notice the skin is looking more and more raw and some times even "sweaty". Now, its more like that beautiful glow we all have right after leaving the gym with an added pop of color. Don't get it confused with oily. With this outfit I am definitely playing with texture, lines and color. This outfit is super comfy yet sassy and chic all at the same time. Its become one of my favorites! This is the first time I've featured this blue blouse since you last saw it HERE. One side of the blouse is longer than the other which allows for a naturally edgy look when paired with leggings or skinny jeans; or you can do what I did and wear a pencil skirt and tuck the short side in while leaving the long side out. I always throw a few accessories on and instead of going with one of my neutral toned purses I thought what the heck, lets go orange.

FACE-Organic Moisturizer I picked up from the farmers market applied with MAC #188 Brush. Using this brush instead of your fingers is softer on your skin, reducing any tug on the face and the brush doesn't absorb your product the way your fingers do. Plus, unless your hands are freshly washed your passing bacteria by applying with your hands. Always a personal preference though!- Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation applied with MAC #130 Brush for a full yet soft and blended coverage.- Small amount of Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil on t-zones to combat excess shine. Used with Bare Escentuals Flawless Face brush. (I truly believe cosmetic lines make brushes to work with their product so I switch by brushes up if I switch brands with face products).- Lancome Blush Subtle in Cappucine as my contour/blush and applied with MAC #129 brush for a soft yet precise application on the outer rims on the face followed by slowly sweeping it onto the center planes of the face. I LOVE this product from Lancome!-Bare Escentuals blush in Sun-Kissed. This blush is beautiful. Truly orange and has a skinfinish shimmer! As you can see :). I also applied this with the MAC #129 brush to ensure I got a very blended and blown out hint of summer on my cheeks.-MAC Eyeshadow Short Shorts* for my highlight on cheek bones, inner eye area (tear duct), brow bone, bridge of nose and bow of lip. I used the MAC #224 brush to apply the highlighter.
EYES-Mac Eyeshadow in Short Shorts* as mentioned above.-Lancome Cappucine lightly brushed over the eye with MAC #129 when I was applying it all over the face.- Bare Escentuals Sun-Kissed blush applied with MAC #224 for a defined and colorful yet very blown out kiss of orange.- Lashes are painted with Bobbi Brown Black Ink gel liner using the fan brush I showed you guys yesterday! Yes, painted. I put together a two and a half minute video for you guys and my connection was off so the video kept skipping. I promise I'll shoot it again on Thursday and get it up this week!
When you use the fan brush to paint your lashes you can naturally glide along the lash line giving a very soft focused and thin eye liner.BROWS-Using my basic brow brush I softly applied MAC Eyeshadow in Charcoal Brown. I wanted my brows to be sharper and shapely while still fitting into this natural brow trend that's going around.LIPS-MAC Lipstick in Ever Hip*. This lipstick has just the right amount of orange and pink creating the most wearable coral hue ever. Plus the texture and consistency allow you to apply a generous layer without it moving around on you later in the day. I LOVE this product.
