No Foundation Make-Up Menu | Matti May Hardie
I recently had a bit of a situation in the form of 'my make-up bag was stolen (again, but in it's entirety this time), which had all of my make-up essentials in it', meaning I had no base products left, and all my brushes, long story short I have next to no make-up left - YAY. And of course I had to look for jobs the next day, so I had to manage with some of Mama's make-up and what I had left. This is what came out of it and I'm actually surprised with how happy I was with it.
Quick note that this post isn't sponsored by TooFaced (I wish), but I have centered it around the TooFaced 'The Chocolatier' palette.
Base
So even though there was technically no base, I did spray on some MAC 'Lightful C' Marine Bright formula softening lotion spray (when there's MAC I never say no).
Eyes
Okay, so first things first I put on the Urban Decay priming potion on my lids and then I'm going to be grabbing my favorite at the moment - the TooFaced 'the Chocolatier' palette. I'm going to put 'Butterscotch' (which can I just point out how FUCKING PRETTY it is) on my lid and line my bottom lash line with it too, and then pop 'Toffee Crunch' in my crease. If I remember, I'll put 'Banana Date' in the corner of my eye next to my tear duct and also on my brow bone. If I'm feeling a bit fancy, I'll get a slanted brush and line the top of my eye with 'Huckleberry'. I love this look because it's perfect for blue eyes because HOLY SHIT IT BRINGS OUT THE BLUE SO MUCH.
Then I'll use the TooFaced 'Better Than Sex' mascara.
Blush and Highlight
Since this is baseless and I wanted to show of my pale skin, I didn't want to do a whole song and dance about any face products. I did a light blush (or as light as I could given the pigmentation of it!) using the blush in the, you guessed it, 'The Chocolatier' palette, and I also used a little bit of the highlighter that's in it too which is to die for.
Brows
Generally for this look I'm going for natural but bold brows. For that, instead of filling them in like I would usually, I used the Benefit 'Gimme Brow' in the shade 'Deep'. I've always had a bit of a love-hate relationship with the Gimme Brow but actually I really like it.
Lips
Like for the blush and highlight, I really wanted to keep it natural for my lips, so I decided to use the Elizabeth Arden's '8 Hour Cream' that Mama has in a balm form, just to make them look like they had something on. I know that normally I'm all for the lipstick, but for some reason I really wanted my eyes to be the focus.
And there we have it! I hope you guys enjoyed this post.
