Quick Look: Extremely Neutral

Yesterday I wore a very bright shirt to work, so I decided I was going to go with a very nude face. I used my new Impulse Cosmetics lipstick in Manic. I got this in a palette which you can read the review for here. It is a creamsicle orange shade, but it makes my lips almost disappear (I think).

I used a bit of a peachy blush and for my eyes I placed a shadow that matches my skin all over the lid and a terracotta orange in my crease which I blended out a lot. I used MAC's carbon as eyeliner and winged it out, and applied mascara as usual. The whole thing gave my face a slight bit of colour and still also looked really stark and nude. Finally, here are the pictures. Please excuse my less than perfect skin, these were taken at the end of the day after an 8 hour shift and long commute.



So that was it! This was another really simple look. I have been working a ton this holiday season, so I haven't had much time for makeup. I promise to start putting up some better eye looks when I have some time!

  1. This natural makeup looks very nice. And I think you can easily modificate it to evening makeup - just by changing lipstick to bolder :)

    1. Thank you! I think I'm warming up to this shade. The first time I ever put it on I just laughed and laughed.
