Wedding Makeup Look

Hi guys! This past weekend I attended a wedding so I thought it would be fun to share with you the makeup that I wore. One of my favourite things about going out is getting to play with makeup and put together a more elegant look than my normal day to day routine. So, let’s take a peak at what my wedding makeup look comprised of!

Since I was wearing a red dress, I wanted to something warm with a touch of drama so I was instantly drawn to Morphe’s  the Jaclyn Hill Palette. The other component that I knew this wedding makeup look needed was a dark and vampy lip which I felt that my recently acquired Colourpop Ultra Matte Liquid Lipstick in Saturday achieved perfectly.

Mani Monday #6

Hi guys! The manicure I am currently sporting is the one that I did for the wedding that I went to on Saturday. To see the rest of the look from that day click here. Since I wore a red dress, I chose silver as it would be fairly neutral but also has a touch of dazzle. I love silver nail polishes, they seem to go with almost anything and they don’t need anything extra to make them sparkle. I was going to do a glitter accent nail but I ended up not liking it so I took it off and left it alone.

Products Used:

OPI Chip Skip
OPI Nail Envy Maintenance (1 coat)
OPI Haven’t the Foggiest (2 coats)
Glisten & Glow HK Girl Fast Drying & Super Shiny Top Coat (as always!)

The formula for Haven’t the Foggiest was quite pigmented. I almost could have gotten away with one coat, but I like doing two to make sure everything is covered. It was a little bit on the watery-side so I tried to use thin and controlled coats to avoid flooding the cuticles.

What are you lovelies wearing on your nails today? Let me know in the comments down below!

xoxo,

Robyn

P1010285

Hi guys! Today I am excited to be attending a friend of mine from work’s wedding. Since we are now into autumn, I chose a red dress and I decided to do a smoky eye with a neutral lip. I debated doing a red lip but it seemed like too much with the red dress and red hair. For the smoky eye I busted the Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette and again, went straight for the silver/grey shades. For my hair I used my Babyliss Miracurl and then promptly surrounded it in a cloud of hairspray as it is fairly windy outside today.
