FOTD # 3: Teal and Peach

Hello, lovelies! This post is going to be all about another FOTD I came up with. :)   

This is a look which I wore about a month ago, but which I never got around to writing a blog post about.

It's a really simple look which features an eyeshadow pigment that I adore -- the Venus & Mars Mineral Eyeshadow in Halo (which I have a review on here btw).

I like this look since it has a nice pop of color yet it's not too terribly dramatic, in my opinion. If you like quite colorful eyeshadow looks, then this would be a nice one for you to look into.


I didn't use too many products for this look, and it is fairly easy to put together. Here are the things I used.

FACE

EB Concealer stick in Beige

Ellana Minerals Primer in White Chocolate and Foundation in Caramel Latte

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

ELF blush, brozer, and highlighter palette

EYES

ELF eye primer

Venus & Mars Mineral Eyeshadow in Halo

Le Faerie Cosmetics Palette

EB black eyeliner

Eye of Horus Mascara

CHEEKS

Maybelline Mineral Power Naturally Luminous Blush in True Peach

LIPS 

Revlon Beyond Natural Lip Tint SPF 15 in Peach



Here are some more pictures of this eye look.

Here, you can see the soft peach blush which I used to go with the peach lips.

Here, you can more clearly see the nice peach lips which I paired with the shadow. The balance of the cool-toned eyes matched with the warm nudey peach lips makes for a great combination, I think. :)

I achieved this eye look by applying the green pigment Halo all over my lids using a patting motion. 

(Tip: Patting pigments rather than sweeping them on is important to avoid lots of fallout and to ensure maximum color payoff!)

I then lightly used a taupey brown shade on the crease area to provide some dimension. Afterwards, I made a thin black cat eye using the black pencil liner, topping it off afterwards with some black eyeshadow. The brow area was highlighted using some concealer topped off with some powder.

To finish it off, I curled my lashes and used 2 coats of mascara.

Here, you can clearly see how the shadow was laid out. It's a pretty simple look, as I said. :)

So, what do you think of this look? Love it? Hate it? Do you want more detailed and step by step makeup tutorials with more pictures? Comment below. I'd love to hear from you! :)
