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.

NARS haul + EOTD

Last wednesday I stopped by sephora and bought a few items for NARS. 

Got 2 of the 9941 artist palette, 1 for me and for my mom. I think I got my makeup addiction from her. She used to be a flight attendant, went to different countries, loved signature makeup. She gave my my first ever MAC studio fix powder, shu uemura lash curler, and benefit benetint when I was in high school. 

colors that are in the palette are:

Eye Shadows

• India Song (soft butter yellow with a hint of shimmer)
• Night Star (sheer peach with gold pearls)
• Night Clubbing (black with gold pearls)
• Ondine (plum with gold shimmer)

Lipsticks

• Honolulu Honey (satin flesh toned beige)
• Dolce Vita (sheer dusty rose)
• Gipsy (sheer warm berry)
• Trans Siberian (semi matte ruby rose)

The Multiples

• Copacabana (glistening pearl)
• Malibu (pinkish brown)

also got the balance foundation in Santa Fe, single e/s in baby girl, fathom, and duo e/s in cordura.

I wore the e/s on the palette last night at my husband's basketball victory party. I was able to take a photo of the eye makeup last night AFTER the party so the makeup doesn't look so clean and nice anymore. 

This was after 10 hrs! I was glad on how the e/s held up since it was super hot & humid outside! Just imagine the desert heat! I was sweatin all over the place my top was covert in sweat!
