Basics FOTD

Hey Guys, I realized I haven't had a FOTD post in while so I decided to share with you this look. I actually have this look on for my upcoming website for my brushes. It's just a very simple look I did which I find really wearable for evryday and super simple to pull off. Here it is:




What I used:

Face:
Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Barcelona
RCMA Translucent Powder
Graftobian Pro Powder Foundation to tone down foundation
Graftobian Pro Powder Foundation used as bronzer for contour

Eyes:
Ellana Awake Concealer topped with eye shadow
Dollface 28 Neutral Palette
Ever Bilena Black Eye Liner Pencil
Maybeline Mascarra

Lips:
Ever Bilena Lip liner in Red
MAC Lipstick in Captive



I'm really feeling this look because compared to my other FOTDs this has the least number of products. The idea of this look was to highlight areas I really wanted to highlight like under the eye, forehead and chin, and to really contour areas like my cheeks and jawline. This is so since the look was shot in Black and White, and with that, colors don't matter hence the highlight and contouring.

The winner in this FOTD is the Graftobian Pro Powder Foundation because it doubled as my bronzer for contouring. As I said in my review of the product, the shade I got which was Cleopatra ranges from an NC40ish-NC45 depending on how I choose to apply this. For this look, I used the Graftobian PPF to tone down my foundation using a big soft powder brush by swiping the brush twice on the product and using only that much for my whole face. While I used a small stippling brush for the contouring by siwrling the brush on the product and applying this below my cheekbones lightly as its coverage eventually builds. Here are the images of those brushes:

Small Stippling Brush

These two brushes are actually some of the brushes that are on testing stage for me right now which I may eventually add to my brush line, and so far these two seem very promising! :)

So please watch out for the launch of my online shop featuring brushes very soon! :)


Toodles! :)

  11. Are you carrying a risky credit record and some lenders have refused you a new loan? do not panic if you need the monetary help for urgency as you can rely on small loans without credit checks.
    bad credit payday loans direct lenders only
    loan for people on benefits
    text payday loans
    text loans no credit check
