Hi Everyone! Just wanted to thank you all for your kind words and comments on my first fotds post. They made me want to bust out the camera again and battle with it some more.. and I think I lost, sigh! I just couldn't get the colors to show up as vibrant as they are and it looks more washed out than IRL.. oh wells, on to the FOTDs!
and sorry for the ridiculous amount of pictures.. I just couldn't pick and choose..
Really Quick Neutral Look (with Silk Natural's "Heavenly" wich they claim is a dupe for my beloved Stereo Rose! like I said - the colors are washed out.. as in I couldn't get the dang Stereo Rose and Heavenly to show up.. maybe perhaps I just used too little of Stereo Rose... I save it and baby it so much
)
Stereo Rose
Heavenly
Used:
Face: EM Foundation
Cheeks: Silk Natural's Heavenly on left cheek, Stereo Rose on right
Eyes: MAC Rose Blanc, Mulch, Satin Taupe; Urban Decay Hazmat trio; Covergirl Lash Blast; Jane Gel eyeliner in black
Lips: Becca granita lip gloss
My take on the stereo rose dupe - I'll try to get better pictures one day! ugh! but "heavenly" is more peach/orange than Stereo Rose is - which is has more pink shimmer/flecks infused into it. Overall the colors are pretty similar - I couldn't tell a big difference on my cheeks.. except the fact that Stereo Rose just gives me a glow that Heavenly does not seem to be able to do as well - probably due to the lack of pink shimmer. So would I replace stereo rose with this? No. The real reason I love Stereo Rose MSF is for the glow factor on top of the color - Heavenly's glow just doesn't cut it imo compared to Stereo Rose . But maybe if you were to add a pale pink shimmery highlighter on top of the Heavenly - it may give off the more pinky glow on top of the peachy color. Can Mac just rerelease Stereo Rose already so I can stop worrying about running out one day and not use just the tiniest amount possible?!
Really Easy Sunrise (Sunset?) Look (my eyebrows are not really done here.. I had 30 min to put the whole look together! including face, eyes and false lash.. so it's kind of sloppy.. and once again the colors look washed out somewhat.. boohoo!)
USED:
Face: EM Foundation
Cheeks: Milani Glimmer Stripes in Bronze Glimmer
Eyes: Too Faced pale yellow shadow from holiday palette; NYX trio in Rust, Copper, Bronze; MAC vanilla pigment; Ardell #110, Maybelline Full & Soft Mascara; Jane gel liner in brown
Lips: Too Faced lip gloss.. forgot what, hehe
wow this post is ridiculously long especially for not so special looks, sorry guys! thanks for bearing through all my camwhoring-ness!
I'll be back with more attention worth FOTD's later on!
