FOTD/TUTORIAL: Semi Cut Crease Gold Smoky Look (MAC Keepsakes Smoky Eye)

I love a warm and neutral look. It's my go-to makeup since you can pair it with anything and it's the most wearable look. MAC released the Keepsakes collection few months ago and this has been my favorite palette. I want to share with you an easy look that I do using the Smoky Eye palette.

Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick 107

This is my first Rimmel lipstick and I'm so glad I tried it. It's matte, has great color pay off, and affordable! I bought this at Centrepoint for 45 SAR. I was able to get only one color from the collection cause they only had 4 shades at the counter and the other 3 was quite similar to my other lipsticks, but after trying this one I might get the nude one next time.

Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish 107

Comparisons: MAC Most Popular, Rimmel Kate 107, MAC Ruby Woo

As you can see on the swatches, 107 is like an opaque, and matte version of Most Popular. If I just put it on lightly on my lips and apply a clear gloss on top, it would look almost similar to the MAC one but Most Popular is slightly pinker.

Rimmel Kate 107

My daughter said I looked like an evil step mother on this photo bwahaha I think it's because of the strong eyes and lips. I used Sleek "Oh So Special" palette on my eyes which you can see the swatches here and I used Rimmel Kate 107 on my lips.

Sleek "Oh so special" on the lids and Rimmel Kate 107 on the lips

If you are searching for affordable matte lipsticks, I recommend getting these Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish lippies. :)

Ombre Makeup

I made this look for the April FOTD Challenge on Instagram. I wasn't able to keep up with the challenge and only did 2 looks for the month. :p Not wearing makeup all the time doesn't mean my love for makeup is slowly weaning, I'm just so busy being a mom and reviewing for my NCLEX exam. :)

It was my first time to try an "Ombre" look, and I love how it turned out. I kept my eye simple and wanted to focus on the lips.

For the eyes I used MAC Tempting and just blended it out. And used a while matte e/s for under the brows and inner corners of the eye.

For the lips I used MAC Angel for the outer lip and MAC Quick Sizzle on the inner lip.

FOTD - NARS bohemian gold

I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup lately cause i'm letting my skin breathe since i've been having lots of breakouts. I also realized that I have too much makeup and some of them I haven't even used yet. I feel guilty for buying and not using them so I decided to create a look using my NARS bohemian gold duo.

Mama's makeup

My mama wanted me to do a smokey look on her. It was my first time to do her full makeup, usually I would just retouch what she had on. I didn't want the look to be too harsh so I used dark browns and not black. I wanted the smokiness to compliment and not over power her natural beauty & I wanted the look to suit her age. My mom is in her 40's and she has wrinkles, so I used mostly matte makeup since glitter or shimmer will only emphasize the lines. I only applied a bit of shimmer to the brow bone and in the inner corners of her eyes.
