FOTD & Tutorial: Coral & Wild Mango

Brrr! It's windy in San Francisco! But I love it compared to hot sticky LA!

I am exhausted and I have a long two days ahead of me, so I will try and squeeze in as much as I can! Thanks to all of you wishing me a safe trip! You gals are so sweet, and speaking of sweet, all we've been eating is dessert and gummy bears. LOL.

Once I get back home I will do a review on the Milani Eye Pencils, as well as swatch Bio Green along side with UD "graffiti" and MAC's "wondergrass".

I did a look using Mad Minerals's "Wild Mango" and MMBB's "Deep Coral". It's a very simple, natural look in person, and really accentuates those with peachy undertones. I paired it with MAC's Lipglass in "Sockhop".







What I used:
Face:

- Monistat Chafing Gel as primer
- MAC StudioFinish Concealer NC30
- Silk Naturals Foundation

Cheeks:
- EDM "All Smiles"
- Mlani Blush in "Luminous"

Eyes:
- MUFE Flash Color Paint in White all over the lid
- MAC e/s in "Mylar" all over the lid over MUFE paint
- Mad Minerals e/s in "Wild Mango" on outer-v and contour
- MMBB "Deep Coral" on outer-V
- ULTA "Gold Leaf" and Milani "Beach Sand" as highlight
- MAC Fluidline in "Nightfish"
- L'Oreal Telescopic Mascara
- False Eyelashes (old ones forgot which brand/style)

Lips:
- AVON "Nude Pink"
- MAC l/g in "Sockhop"



Then applied "Mylar" all over the base to set:




*Applied WET

Line and apply mascara

  10. that looks pretty. you always pull off corals and reds so well. i'm one of those people that is scared to wear red/pink lipstick and red eyeshadows! i don't think it'd look good on my skin tone. i'm not dark or anything. i'm more olive tone, but i just never thought i'd look good wearing red. my mom and sister loooooove wearing red lipstick, though!
