FOTN 25/08

Last night Ryan and I went out to see his brother's band at their first headlining gig. I had literally 30 minutes to dry and straighten my hair then do my makeup so I don't exactly love it.. but I'm posting it anyway..

Benefit YouRebel

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Medium

MAC Powder Blush in Pink Swoon

MAC Eye Brows in Lingering

MAC #7 Lashes

MAC Plush Lash in PlushBlack

MAC Amplified Lipstick in Impassioned

I put on the bright lip at the last minute because I didn't want to not use any colour at all. I'm not sure if it suits me.. maybe it would look better with a darker tan?

FOTN Mild Smoky Eye

On Sunday I went to my cousin's house for dinner and wanted to use my new colours from Inglot (full post is on it's way!). I realised I only had my 224 brush as the rest of my makeup was still missing in my bags from NYC. It was a bit of a challenge as the 224 is a blending brush and isn't really designed for applications, but I did my best with what I had!

My camera did some funky thing to my skin in the second one.. I acidentally clicked some weird setting!! But either way it's this gorgeous 'greige' colour paired with this beautiful pinky-pearlescent colour on the lid.. Preeeetttyyy :)

NYC Wicked Tribute FOTN

So as I've said I spent this past weekend in NYC. We got an amazing deal to see Avenue Q for less than half price which meant we could use that extra money we saved to see Wicked!! These are my two favourite West End/Broadway shows, I've already seen both but Ryan had only seen Avenue Q and my mum had only seen Wicked. I decided I had to suit my makeup to the evening just because I'd a tad obsessed with Wicked; I had green Elphaba eyeshadow and pink glossy Galinda lips! Yes blah, blah, blah pink and green don't go together.. but this time I liked it for it's symbolism :)

Here we are prior to the show in the foyer of the theatre at 7.45pm..

 Up on the 102nd Floor of the Empire State Building..

And really just to make a point of the staying power of MAC and Inglot Makeup, here we are on the 86th Floor Balcony at 2.00am..

I'm not kidding when I say I didn't touch up once. Not even powder or lipgloss. I genuinely didn't have time. So that's over 6 hours of wear.. I'm pretty damn impressed!

After 6 hours of wear this is only a touch smudged!

 

I wore:

Benefit YouRebel SPF15 Tinted Moisturiser

MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Medium

NARS Blush/Bronzer Duo in Orgasm/Laguna

Inglot Eyeshadows (I'll have to update with the exact colours)

Duo Lash Adhesive

MAC #7 Lashes

MAC Lipstick in Pink Nouveau

MAC Cremesheen Glass in Loud & Lovely

And bonus.. no staining! Just one wipe with remover and I was makeup free!

Domino's Awards OOTN & FOTN

So here's my OOTN, it was a 80s movie theme so they had the A-Team, Star Wars people etc., etc.. I didn't dress 80s, but I wore a black backless dress, black tights and my Faith Ribbon-Tie Gladiator-Esque Platform Heels.

Since it was a special occasion I decided to pretty much go to town in the makeup department. I know I look way shiny, this was taken 4 hours into the 8 hour event. Let's just say it was warm in there.
