Face Of The Day Friday! (FOTD...F ;)

Why not a face of the day for Fridays? I do have a weakness and indulge in makeup and I have fun doing it -  and I am sure you love creating in many ways with it like I do, too!  I personally feel like a geisha when I get my brushes all out,  and when I start to paint - I get into crazy meditation mode when I'm doing it, so it goes a lot deeper than face value I think :)

Here is a photo I threw on instagram and now I am craving some black/blue hair... I don't think I have the guts to do it! It's dark enough :)
Growing up, my friends used to think it was weird that I needed to go to another room to get ready or that I did my makeup before going out to see them, because I actually enjoyed that time alone. :) I think it dates back to when I had to get ready for live shows and it was that time to go over songs in my head and get in "the zone" that I still do it.

Yesterday, I posted "Nana" lipgloss and "Fast Ride" lipstick by NARS and I wanted to show that they are extremely wearable and not too in your face with the colour, and that is it quite a lovely duo with simple eyes.

Here is what I ended up putting together:

Foundation: 
NARS Sheer Glow in FIJI

Concealer: 
Benefit Boi-ing in 01 and 02

Cheeks: 
Jemma Kidd Makeup School: 03 Pawpaw
Contouring: Jemma Kidd Makeup School "Contour & Flush Creme Blush Duo"

Highlight:
BEST Highlight creme I've ever used in my whole life! Jemma Kidd: Dewy Glow All Over Radiance Creme in 01 Iced Gold (I would say I reach for this a hundred times more than Benefit High Beam, but both great products in different ways)

Eyes: 
Eyelids primed with Benefit Lemon aid
NARS Bellissima Duo
Benefit highbrow
Benefit Eye Bright (in corners of eyes)
MAC Fluidline in Dipdown (Dark brown)
Benefit They're Real! Mascara 

Lips: 
NARS Fast Ride lipstick
NARS Nana Lipgloss

Necklace: Stella & Dot Tempest Bib Necklace (J'adore!)

Well, I hope you enjoyed this little quick post :)
