FOTD: Stepping out of my Comfort Zone (11.09.2012)

Hello everyone! I'm trying to blog everyday. ;)

It's definitely TGIF day today! As I trade my slacks and collared blouses for a casual top and jeans, I got a little inspired to do something more playful with my makeup. I usually just use browns and neutral shades for my eyes because:

        1. I'm no expert in eye makeup and neutrals are almost fool-proof.

        2. The office setting calls for subdued makeup.

If I botched today's FOTD, please be kind. :D I attempted to use lovely shades of turquoise and blue from ELF and Etude House. Heehee. The result? Ta-Da! Read after the jump for the products that I used.

One Swipe = A New Look

Quick post:

I'm so late in the news but yes it's true, a swipe of lipstick can change your whole look! Talk about convenience; you won't have to wipe off an hour's worth of makeup in the evening when you go out with the girls after work.

Here's a photo of me last week on a really full and crazy day. Started my day early in the office and ended with a dinner in Greenbelt. Good thing my VMV So Clear Oil Absorbing Pressed Powder didn't give up on me all throughout. Yay! :)

In between all the stuff to be done, I had no more time to do more than a quick retouch of powder and lipstick. What saved me aside from my VMV pressed powder? Yup you guessed it right, my lippies!

From sweet pink to sophisticated red! Thanks to:

Ever Bilena Matte Lipstick in Offbeat Pink

Models Own in Scarlet (bought at a steal price from Kering Keri Store)

For the truly pressed for time, spritz on your favorite face mist and just reblend the makeup that you've already applied during the day. Don't forget to swipe on an appropriate shade of lipstick! :)

P.S. I'd love to hear all about your favorite lipstick shades. :)
