Bright Cheeks, Pink Lips FOTD (using Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss in Imaginaire)

Hi everyone, for today's FOTD I focused mainly on the cheeks. It's miserable and cold outside, so I chose to use a cheerful peachy-pink shade of blush to brighten things up.


My blusher of choice is Illamasqua's Temble. It's a gorgeous bright colour. Like all Illamasqua's blush, it's heavily pigmented so I have to be careful not to have too heavy handed application.

I kept the eyes simple using black eyeshadow as liner, topped with a shade of natural brown on the upper eyelids.




On my lips, I used a pale cotton candy pink gloss. I'm loving the new Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss in Imaginaire at the moment.



Products Used




Face:

Pail and Joe Moisurizing Foundation Primer, 03

Diorskin Nude Natural Glow Fresh Powder Makeup, 020

Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen, 002 as concealer

Illamasqua Blush, Tremble



Eyes:

17 Eyes, In The Nude

Mac Carbon as Eyeliner

YSL Faux Cils Mascara

Lips:

Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss, Imaginaire




I don't really suit light pink gloss, as most shades wash out my complexion. The Chanel gloss deosn't seem to though, which is why I love it so much! I would love to try some milky beige coloured lip glosses.

  12. Thanks girls for the sweet comments! About looking like a doll, I never really got that before, but thanks! I'll take it as a compliment! When we lived in China EVERYONE came up to my sis saying she looked like a doll. My sis has absolutely gorgeous porcelain skin that makes me look kinda tanned in comparison!

  13. @Charming Vanity I've only used the Paul and joe primer a few times, but I do quite like it. It's really moisturising, works great as a base, and not to mention the packaging is so cute!
