Look of the Day: Bronze, Purple, and Pink

Hi, everyone! Sorry for my absence over the past week. I've been on a mini (much needed) holiday of sorts, relaxing and celebrating with friends and family in my hometown. The central reason for my visit was my friend's wedding this past Friday (congrats, Lisa!) and the look I'm featuring in this post is what I wore for the occasion.


The dress I wore was magenta accessorized with bronze accents, so I thought I'd opt for complementary purple and bronze eye shadow, paired with more subtle pink cheeks and lips. Here's the look!




The Breakdown:


Foundation: Revlon ColourStay Liquid (combo/oily formula) in Buff mixed with Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream in #21
Concealer: Cle de Peau
Powder: MAC Blot in Medium
Bronzer: Clio Cosmetics Art Blusher #3
Blush: Sleek Flamingo


Brows: Anastasia Brow Powder Duo in Ash Blonde
Primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion in Original
Eye Shadows: Laura Mercier Sandstone (centre of lid and to highlight), Urban Decay Rockstar (blended in crease and outer corner), Urban Decay Mushroom (concentrated in crease for definition), Urban Decay Infamous (as an accent), MAC Amber Lights (blended into the purple shades)
Eye Liner: Revlon ColourStay Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Black
Mascara: Anna Sui Full Mascara in Black


Lips: Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butter in Peach Parfait


Bronze and purple tones are among my favourites for eye shadow, so it was fun blending them together (literally!). My beloved Urban Decay Mariposa Palette got a lot of use this time! Here are a few more pictures of the look:









And here is a picture of me celebrating at the wedding. A lovely time was had by all!




Cheers!

      Hahaha... That does sound creepy at first, but I take it as a compliment :) My brows have been the bane of my existence (over-plucked them in high school and now have to fill them in every day) for a while, so I appreciate the comment!

      Thanks as always for the kind words :)

      Thanks! Browns and purples are my most-used colours, so it was nice to do a slightly more creative look with my typical shades.

    Do you dye your own hair? If so which box color do you use, it is just the right shade of dark ash blonde!

      Hi there! Thanks for the kind words. It's my natural hair colour, actually. So I can't recommend a shade of hair dye. Sorry! Thanks for reading, though :)
