My Valentines Day Outfit, and Makeup!

Hello friends!!

You all wont know this about me, but I'm SUCH a sappy person, I love, love! And I love seeing couples out in public holding hands, and smiling etc. I also love to show my love for my own loved ones!! So I adore valentines day!!

I'm getting together with a few friends tonight, and we're going to drink cheap wine and eat some pizza and celebrate our friendship!

Outfit:

This is the outfit I chose for today, even though it's currently in the negative here, I wanted to look cute! So I chose one of my father's soft, old, black shirts. A high wasted black pencil skirt, and a burgundy button up blouse. I'll be wearing brown leather booties with this outfit!


Makeup:

Base: I primed with a mattifying primer, then I used a tiny bit of my make up for ever orange corrector from my concealer palette from them and patted that in my inner corner of my eyes. I then took Kat Von D lock it concealer creme and dotted that under my eyes and a swipe on each cheek. I then took a buffing brush and blended that out, I took a big fluffy brush and patted MAC loose set powder all over my face to set my makeup, and then I took some MAC Blot powder and patted that onto my oily areas (tip of my nose, nose bridge, inner cheeks, chin, and whole forehead) I then spritzed some of ELF mist and fix to soak up some of the extra powder!

Cheeks: I took Clinique Cola pop on a duo fiber blush brush, and applied a tiny bit more than usual, to give myself a nice flushed look, I then took a angled blush brush and contoured along the lower sides of my cheek bones to lift them. I buffed Sephora Brand Microsmooth Baked Luminizor in 01 star dust (my holy grail highlight!) along my cheek bones, and very very lightly on the tip of my nose!

Brows: I wanted my brows to be fluffy and slightly more defined than usual. So I REALLY took my time today and filled them in. I took a small angled brush and ran brow powder along the bottom of my brows, starting in the inner corner. And then slowly built up the colour in any "sparse" spots. I took MAC waterproof brow set in Brown Ebony and combed that through them, and made sure the front of my brows were standing up and everything was in place!

Lips: I exfoliated my lips with ELF lip exfoliator in clear, then while I was doing my base and brows, I let some shea butter soak into them. When I got to my lips, I patted off the excess lip balm, and took Colourpop lip liner in Bossy (a cool bright red) and lined my lips, being careful not to go out of the lines, and then proceeded to fill in my whole lips with the lip liner! I pulled out my OCC Lip Tar in NSFW (a cool medium red), I remember this being a big deeper and that was what I wanted. But I decided to stick with this. With the cap still twisted closed, I shook and rolled the lip tar around in ym hands, then took a lip brush and squeezed out a tiny dot and did my lips in quarters. I took a TINY amount of concealer on a lip brush and evened it up a bit as well!!

Eyes: This was pretty basic. I didn't really know what I wanted to do exactly, so I just kept piling on glittery shadows until I got to this look! I started with primed lids (I used ELF sheer eye lid primer) and then set the primer with Tarte Whisper (a matte shade lighter than my skin tone) I took Tarte First Kiss (a satiny plummy purple) on a crease brush and really buffed and blew that out in the crease. I wanted a slightly messy look. I picked up a smaller crease brush, and ran some of Tarte Heartbreaker (matte cool deep brown) on the outer edges of my eyes and some in the inner edge as well! I picked up my MAC 217 and went HAM blending that out so it was a purpley plummy brown smokey look in the crease. I then applied a tiny amount of ELF smudge pot in Brownie Points (a metallic dark warm brown cream shadow) onto my outer corner of my mobile lids, and blended the upper edge before it dried/set. I then took some of Colourpop's Nillionaire (warm bronze with red glitter) and patted that onto the inner half of my mobile lids. I patted Colourpop Paisley (a sheer pressed glitter!) onto my inner corners. I took a matte purple and ran that along my lower lashline. To clean up my brow bone, I took the same base shade, Tarte Whisper, and I ran that along my brow bones, and above my crease to clean things up! I applied three coats of mascara, lined my waterlines with a warm brown liner. Then to REALLY go OTT, I took a rainbow clear glitter gel and patted that onto my inner half of my mobile lids!!


And I THINK that's it!! It looks like a LOT, but honestly, it took 30 minutes at most, and that's because I kept going back and adding more and more ahahah!!

Happy Valentines day, loves!!

Close up look of my last makeup look, before my surgery!

I don't talk about it a lot on here, because it's not beauty related. But I have a large grandiose tumor in my jaw.

And I'm having my final surgery to remove the whole tumor tomorrow. And I'll be knocked out for a good week or two. (I have enough blog posts scheduled for the whole time I'm out!!)

And obviously I wont be wearing makeup, because my cheek is going to be triple it's normal size :P

Today I went "all out" and did whatever made me feel happy!!

Base: I started out patting Benefits Porefessional into my skin. then swiped The Estee Edit Pore Vanishing stick onto my nose/sides of my nose and my inner cheeks! I then took my Make Up For Ever conceal and correct pallet, and I used the green shade and patted that all over my cheeks, around my nose, and between my brows. I took the orangey shade beside the green corrector, and I patted that under my eyes, and on my dark spots on my cheeks!! I set everything lightly with MAC set powder. Then I poured a dime sized amount of MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF15 onto the back of my hand, and used a paddle brush to blend that into my skin. I added two dots of NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard under my eyes and patted that out. Then I used MAC Blot Powder Pressed in Medium Dark to set my whole face.

Cheeks: I used ELF Contour kit, and I took the cool brown and ran that along my cheek bones, temples, and along my jaw to "slim" my face subtly. I took Makeup Geek Romance blush and I buffed that into the apples of my cheeks and swept it upwards! I finished off the cheeks with a bit of my HG highlighter, Sephora Brand Baked Luminizor 01 Star Dust.

Eyes: I primed with ELF sheer eye primer, then set it with Urban Decay Thirteen. I then buffed a bit of Urban Decay Radar (Golden sheeny brown) in the crease. Then switched to Urban Decay Whiskey (Matte dark brown) to deepen the outer corner/crease. I did a TOUCH of a reddish burgundy gluittery eye shadow to warm the look up a touch, and I patted that into my upper crease. I then took L'oreal Infalible shadow in Sahara Treasure and patted that onto my inner lids/inner corners. I tapped a bit of Colourpop Nillionaire onto my outer half of my mobile lid. I took the MAC 217 and buffed everything out so It was a nice warm glittery blend! Lastly for eye shadow, I took some of Colourpop Paisley, a sheer glitter top coat. and patted that onto my lids/inner corners/a bit of my crease. I did two GENEROUS coats of Too Faced Better than Sex. Then I did a small flick with Kat Von D Tattoo liner.

Brows: I took MAC waterproof brow set in Brown Granite, and just combed that through my brows and that's it!!

Lips: I took a bit of NYC Lasting finish lipstick in Air Kiss, then I topped it off with a similar coloured lip tint from Etude House!!

That's it!! I feel very happy and pretty today! And I feel mentally prepared for my surgery tomorrow!
