I’ve been too lazy to wear any type of base, especially during the summer when my skin went very tan and nothing I had matched me. I think I wanted a bit more glowy-ness, but having tried the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector (in Opal! ), I wanted something more subtle. The product is much more watery than the Shimmering Skin Perfector, and I don’t have mine with me at the moment, so I can’t compare, for sure. I know that looks like a lot of stuff, but it’s all just very thin layers that don’t need any sort of precision, which is what I enjoy when I’m rushing about my day.

So, after a long hiatus from mixing it up and dressing up and making myself reach for non-offensive “everyday” makeup, I’ve lately been making a bit of extra effort to, in my opinion, “look nice. The days have grown significantly colder, so these are sort of last-ditch attempts at bringing a bit of summer sun with me, I think. I’ve worn yellow eyeshadow before (see: 1, 2, 3), but funny how the overall effect differs with just a change of lip (or, in this case…  haircut, and uh… everything else). The eye look’s pretty simple: cool, reddish mid-tone brown in the crease with a warmer terracotta brown on the outer crease and a bit on the lower lashline, aaaand a matte yellow on the lid.

Hello, friends. Today, we talk about skin care

I locked this account away at some point for various reasons I don’t feel like getting into now, but the beauty bug. I look like this now: While I was away from here, I mostly look like this… Here, another one just for kicks: I’m actually in the process of so many things such as uni and moving and a show, among personal crises etc. I’m not sure if I’m going to be leaving this up as sort of an archive and just update sparingly about beauty over at my main blog (which is Nothing Spaces, if you didn’t know) or whatever.
