I LOVE a twitter makeup challenge. So when I saw that a few cool girls I know were starting one up I jumped on board. Here's the deal: Post a photo every day of either your makeup look or the actual makeup you used that day. Get it? Face or product shots, or both, with a little detail about what you used. Tweet your photo with the hashtag #2011MUC.

Tonight I have a little party I am attending so I am wearing this awesome blue and gold dress and I chose makeup colors that would be homogeneous but not matchy-matchy exactly. I used touches of gold and blue tones but not exact color matches. The pictures aren't my best since I'm not using my regular camera, but they'll have to do for now. For some reason my look today is a little MAC heavy and some of the products are discontinued but most are permanent.

Products used:

MAC Studio Sculpt foundation, NC20 (usually I am a NW20, but for some reason with the sculpt foundation the NC suited me better than the NW.)
Kryolan Dermacolor Concealer
Makeup Forever HD setting powder
Kevyn Aucoin Pure Powder Glow cheek color, Dolline
MAC Blush, Harmony
MAC Mineralized Sheersheen Loose Pigment, Silver Aura (discontinued)

Two Faced Shadow Insurance
MAC Pigments, Vanilla and Golden Olive (both PERM)
MAC Eyeshadow, Soft Brown, Brun and Blanc Type (seriously, my most used colors and thankfully all are PERM)
Makeup Forever Aqua Liner, #6 (Deep navy with shimmer)
Lancome Definicils Precious Cells Mascara, Black

Kryolan Lipstick, LC006 (Creamy pinky-peach nude)

Won't you join me in the #2011MUC?!

I don't know what it is about hot weather but it makes me want to stick to more earthy colors in my makeup. I am excited to do a FOTD post since my skin is finally back to normal  after a few weeks of rediculousness. So enjoy, kittens...

Hey Kittens! It's been a while since I have posted a face of the day. Why? I have been super busy and my skin has been a little cranky so I wanted to give it a rest.

Since I finally found the Wet & Wild Color Icon holiday LE palettes, I wanted to play a little. I created a golden bronzed plum eye, tan-pink cheek and a golden pink lip. Enjoy!
