In my last FOTD post, my makeup were mostly drugstore brands, except for the blush, which was the one luxe item to make the look pop. Today, I aim to do the opposite, ie use all luxury brand makeup except for one item which is a drugstore brand. Believe you me, this drugstore item will stand out 😉
Today’s look is another simple one, but with bright pink lips. Can’t really do colourful eye makeup at the moment because after looking at my makeup stash, I realised that most of my eye makeup are neutrals with bits of green and sheer purples here and there. Once I get brighter shades, I’m hoping to be able to try out more colours. You can tell I’m starting to get excited about this, can’t you? 😛
Right, what was I saying again? Ah yes. Simple eyes, bright lips. Today’s look feature Face of Australia’s Lip Quench in Malibu Barbie. It’s a gorgeous bright bubblegum pink (with Australian-certified SPF30 too!) and I’m so glad it was in the MBBE 2011‘s goodie bag.
Face: Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup, Chanel Natural Finish Pressed Powder, Guinot Fast Mattifying Concealer
Eyes: Urban Decay Primer Potion, Dior Cannage Eyeshadow palette (pink all over lid, pearly-silver to highlight the brow bone), Chanel Illusion D’Ombre in Epatant on outer lids, Estee Lauder Modern Mercury Pure Color liquid eyeliner in Graphite, Clinique High Impact Mascara, Scott Barnes Illumineye eyeshadow in Urban Legend on brows
Cheeks: NARS blush in Dolce Vita
Lips: Face of Australia Lip Quench SPF30+ in Malibu Barbie
I hope you like today’s look. When you get the chance, I highly recommend you check out Malibu Barbie. I’m loving mine sick already 😛
Oh Tine, you seem to get used to doing FOTDs, huh? This is another fresh and pretty look! Don’t you just love what a difference a foundation, a blush and a lippie can make? 🙂

Jess: Hahaha I know, right? Slowly getting there. Don’t know why I wasn’t that interested before. I guess it’s due to lack of skill (not that it’s any more improved now). But it’s fun, and all of your encouragement has helped heaps 🙂
Aww that is such a SWEET colour! And you look lovely – blush and lipstick definitely make all the difference between ok and gorgeous 😀

LeGeeque: I thought I exchanged the Too Faced Shadow Insurance with the UDPP? You’re allergic to it now?? That sucks! 🙁
It ties together the look very nicely!

Wow, great FOTD. I love the lip colour, it really matches your skin tone. I’m almost tempted to try it out for myself, well done 🙂
Kayekie: Ooooh you should get one! It’s out at Priceline now. Really brightens up the face without looking over the top. If you don’t want it too bright, apply some lip balm over the lips, swipe a light layer of the lipstick, press lips together, and you’ll get a light but pretty shade of pink on your lips 🙂
lovely blush and lippie! never thought barbie pink lip colour could look so good!

Nice! Geez I’m so envious of your collection of luxe products. And I’m glad you like the lippy! It’s my fav out of the new colours too 🙂
Tina: Hee hee, I don’t have that many luxe items, which was why it was a bit difficult digging them out for this post 😛
Love the lippie! Colour’s gorgeous, thanks for putting them into the MBBE bag 😀
