It's no secret I LOVE me a good deep dark lip. When I came across the Red Apple Lipstick in the shade After Hours, I swooned when I opened up the lid and turned the lipstick upwards. Angels may have sang as the lipstick rose up out of her tube. The next morning I woke up excited and inspired to wear that lipstick. . . I had no where to go, just a day as a mama, no errands to run, just wear my lipstick and leggings. I felt glam for my boys and those dishes that needed done. THEN I got a call that we were going to get together as a family for dinner Wahoo! My makeup wasn't going to go to waste! I plan to wear this look over and over again. It works for the day time, day to day or you can wear it on a night out on the town, even smoke out the eye a little for a little more sultry. Here are the details on this simple but stunning look.
PRODUCTS USED:
This is a gorgeous matte lipstick that is extremely pigmented and DEEP in color, even for a matte type lipstick it still true to the Red Apple Lipstick creamy formula. For my look I ended up adding a chapstick underneath to give it a slight sheen and make it not as matte/pigmented. For night time I would skip this step.
Concealed and hightlighted the under eye in triangle pattern, center of forehead, bridge of nose and cupids bow.
Used Dark shade for contour on cheeks, nose and along hair line on forehead. Used Dark contour shade as an eyeshadow by adding to the crease of the eye in windshield wiper motions with a fluffy brush.
A little brighter lightening but a more face on shot. (Still working on my lighting, photography set up. :) )
I did a winged eyeliner to make this subtle eyeshadow look glamours but still feminine and simple. Taking it thinly from the inner corner of the eye and slightly winging it out in to what I would call a medium thickness wing.
Although this is listed as a bronzer I use this as a hightlighter. This is used on the top of the cheeks (high point just above them), the bridge of nose, cupids bow and center of chin. I also used this as an eyeshadow and put in the center of my lid below my crease to add a slight pop/light to the eye, and lightly dusted the brow bone.
Used as a brow powder to fill in, lengthen and shape my brows using a dense angled brush.
Currently my favorite lashes and have been for a few months now. I love that these are long enough without being over dramatic, and thickness but whispy so that you can still see the gorgeous shadow and lid behind them. These were applied with Duo lash glue.
I paired this look with an army green tank to complement that deep purple lip. Sectioned my hair back out of my face in a matter of a minute or two and put my favorite pair of gold dangling earnings and there you have it. What new makeup has you excited to get ready for the day? Any other mama's get all glammed up only to hang out in their yoga pants, leggings or sweats? I TRY (keyword) to at least get ready everyday, even if everything else is super casual. I find it helps me feel better and more motivated :) Just a little tip!
