FOTD with Guerlain Rouge Automatique Cherry Blossom


For today's look, I'm using one of my favourite pink lip colours, Guerlain Rouge Automatique in Cherry Blossom 161.



On my cheeks I used my new MAC Beauty Powder in Alpha Girl for soft, peachy-pink flush.



I like the consistency of Geurlain's Rouge Automatiques. The texture is pretty creamy, and the colours are fairly long-wearing.



Cherry blossom is a light to medium rosy pink with frosty shimmer.


Swatch of Cherry Blossom:


Lip swatch:



I used quite a thick layer of the lipstick for this swatch so you can have a good idea of the true colour of this shade. For my FOTD I lightly applied the lipstick and blended it out for a softer, easy to wear look.


Products used in today's look.

Face:
Dior Crystal Nude Natural Matte Skin Perfecter in 001 Invisible
MAC Beauty Powder Alpha Girl on cheeks

Eyes:
Shiseido Integrate GY941 on brows
MAC Eyeshadow Smut
MAC Eyeshadow Typographic as Liner

Lips:
Guerlian Rouge Automatique Cherry Blossom




The pores on my skin were looking pretty visible today, so rather than brave a FOTD without any base, I applied my recently acquired Diorskin Crystal Nude Natural Matte Skin Perfector.


It is a translucent, colourless product that can be used on its own, as a base or over foundation. I used it on its own and it instantly made my face look a whole lot smoother.


My fringe is still at that awful awkward growing out stage. When I kept a fringe, it grew so fast I needed frequent trims at the hairdressers. Now that I want to grow it out, it just won't grow fast enough! So for the time being, you will see pictures of me with the top of my head cropped off.

    I didn't even notice you'd cropped off the top! I do that on my blog b/c my forehead's been bumpy this summer. Your skin is gorgeous! You remind me of a college friend I had (she's Taiwanese and has big eyes and is tall, too).

    Love Cherry Blossom on you, it looks dark in the swatch but translates so well once on your lips!
