FOTD - 23.05.12

As the weather becomes colder, I find I'm looking for a bolder look to wear to work instead of the boring old natural look! Since it's almost winter time, I've lost almost every bit of colour I gained (if any) during summer, so now I'm very pale! When I think of pale, I instantly think of big black eyes and bold lips! I know you shouldn't really do both, and especially not for work, so I settled on the look above!

What I used: 

Daiso Long Lasting Eye shadow, Daiso Rose Blush, Rimmel London Stay Matte in Transparent, Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation, Daiso Liquid Eyeliner, Rimmel London Kohl Black Eyeliner, Maybelline One by One Voum' Express Mascara, Barry M Lip Paint in Sunset

Daiso Long Lasting Eye shadow in Purple and Daiso Rose Blush

If you read my haul post you will know that this is my first experience with Daiso makeup, and I'm very impressed! I used the light almost white colour all over and then used the darker purple on the lids. I used the rosier colour for the blush as I wasn't too sure that peach colour would be very dominant on my cheeks.

Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder and Wake Me Up Foundation

In my opinion, two classics! This is the perfect combination when creating a flawless, brightened look. I start with the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation which gives perfect coverage, and then finished off with the Stay Matte Pressed Powder!

Rimmel London Kohl Black Eyeliner, Daiso Black Liquid Eyeliner and Maybelline One by One Volum' Express Mascara
For the rest of my eyes I started with the Soft Kohl eyeliner on my lower lash line, and added the Daiso Liquid Eyeliner on my upper lashline to create the cat eye flick. I finished off with the gorgeously bold Maybelline mascara on both upper lashes and lower lashes.

Barry M Lip Paint
Usually I leave my lips bare, even though I love lipstick, so I thought I might switch things around and wear something a little bolder than nude. I'd recently purchased the Barry M Lip Paint in "Sunset" which is a gorgeous orangey-pink. It's definitely something different to what I would usually wear out, so I was really pleased.

So hopefully you liked my look! The lips especially is something different to what I would wear, and I find that wearing lipstick, especially in a brighter colour, gives me a confidence boost! I really liked this look, so hopefully you all did too!
