Face of the Night

As I was sitting at my desk, watching the most recent episode of 30 Rock on Hulu, I glanced over at my brushes and saw a recently purchased blending brush and decided to put some Brown Script in my crease.  That's literally where this started...I don't use brown script often but I think this needs to be my go to color now.

Like I said, I literally started out blending Brown Script in the crease, then I built on top of that with the mulled cider, then Soft Brown, the tiniest bit of Carbon and Omega at last.  I liked how it looked so I thought I'd use something a little glowy like Phloof on the lid and the brow bone.  I didn't want it to be too frosty however, so I laid down some Blanc Type first.  Following the same pattern on my lower lash line, I started with the lightest color on the inside and faded to the darkest on the outside using a pencil brush.  Next was the foundation.  I usually use my Giorgio Armani foundation with a beauty blender but I didn't want to get up to wet it so I just used a MAC 190.  I actually like how it performed with this brush and will most likely use this method more often.  Concealer on spots and under eyes followed by powder.  Once I was powdered, I noticed that I needed a little glitz to get the life back in my super matte face.  Glitter!!  MAC Reflects pearl has become kind of a staple in my looks recently.  It's subtle but makes you do a double take...like you can't quite tell what's different but you know my eye makeup looks just a little bit better than usual.  Follow that up with contour, blush and highlight and finally lips.  Voila!  Looking at it in the mirror (the pictures just aren't showing it properly), I'd say it's almost Adele inspired.  She is my beauty idol.  She does no wrong.  

Anyway, hope you enjoyed.  I like it.  Also, I know they're crap pictures but what do you think of the new hair?  It's been slowly growing out for probably 6 months now and is not nearly as long as I'd like.  I am quite fond of the color though and think the new conditioning treatments I've been using have helped.
