Face of the day Friday: Frosty rose makeup look

I am way behind on my 29 posts in 29 days (3 to be exact), but I shall be catching up over the weekend….but first my FOTDF is a frosty rose makeup look

Frosty rose makeupWhat I used for my Frosty rose makeup look

frosty rose makeup– NYX Wonder Pencil in ‘light’
-Modelsprefer Argan infusion natural foundation in ‘Shell’
-*MUD pressed powder in ‘001 Ivory’
-*MUD Concealer in ‘001 Ivory’
– Rimmel wonder’full mascara with argan oil
– L’Oreal Colour Riche Le Kajal Eye Pencil in ‘501 Oriental Black’
– * Ulta3 cream blush stick in ‘pretty pink’
-* Ulta3 Lipstick in ‘004 Freesia’
-The Balm nude’tude palette (not pictured)

I used the Modelsprefer Argan infusion natural foundation as my base, added the *ulta3 blush stick to the apples of my cheeks and blended it out. I like how the blush gave my cheeks a natural, but subtle ‘flushed’ look. You could skip using pressed powder or not blend it out as much if you want the blush to show more.

I wasn’t sure how this product would go because most ‘ivory’ foundations/powders are either (still) too dark for my skin-tone or have a yellow undertone, so they make me look like an Oompa Loompa! I think it’s great for a supermarket brand. It goes on evenly and the shade was perfect for me. (MUD products are available from Woolworths supermarkets).

I finished it off with a coat of Rimmel’s Wonder’ful mascara with argan oil on my lashes.

For the lips: I outlined and ‘coloured’ in my lips with the NYX wonder pencil. I love my NYX wonder pencil, it really is a multi-purpose product. You can use it as a concealer, lip liner and on your waterline . I recommend sharpening it before you use it near your eyes after you have used it on your lips, so there is no cross contamination…you don’t want to end up with an eye infection!

frosty rose makeupThen I applied *Ulta3 lipstick in Freesia over the top. I was a little worried with this lip colour because it looks very pale/frosty in the tube (it looks darker in the photo above), but I was surprised that it wasn’t as pale as I first thought. I would describe it as frosty rose (hence the title of this post), even though it’s called ‘freesia’.
