LOTD: Smize Eyes

 Decided to do a eye shape changing look perfect for a wedding I am going to soon. 

Using just the Illamasqua Aura Palette and Rimmel Exaggerating Liquid Liner, I made this angled look. 

My drooling husband this evening told me this look gave the effect I was going for, Smize (smiling with your eyes). 

LOTD: Pretty in Pink

Today's subtle look using Illamasqua Aura Palette, Benefit Roller Lash Mascara and OCC Digitalis Lip Tar

Working with my beloved beauty blender I did my foundation, contour and blusher. So far this application sponge is worth its weight in gold. 

Sitting in the DPD depot that unexpectedly closed early on me is my Illamasqua order of their new gel contour sticks. 

Applied with the side of the palm, this intriguing gel gives a sculpted contour with a soft natural finish. 

Prepare for a massive review once it arrives! Co Taylor 

LOTD: Illamasqua Aura Palette

Today's look is all about the Illamasqua Aura Palette.

Alongside the Aura Palette, I used Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation in my current shade, 07 and LUSH lip/cheek color sweetly named, Prosperity. 

 This dusty rose cream color works perfectly with this palette 

and is extremely hydrating!

You choose the coverage, it has a natural smooth finish and lasts all day, what more could you ask for? 

In depth, the Aura Palette has everything to give you a flawlessly contoured daytime makeup look that is bright and refreshing any time of year. Just add your choice of mascara and lip color to make this look your own.

The colors are very pigmented, very smooth and the cream contour, hollow, is absolutely impeccable. It really gives the appearance of shadows on the face rather than lines of darker skin tones. The blusher is quite- one small pat is enough for that English Rose blushing glow. This palette would be amazing for a Bride.

The results...

This look is very natural in comparison to what I prefer but it is dewy and soft and because my entire look was four products (foundation, palette, lip color, and mascara), it was very fast and easy to do. I truly do recommend this palette to anyone looking for that quick fix to a flawless makeup look!

With my new haircut comes new products I use to keep it looking awesome.
