FOTN 09.10.2011


I went out to see the new movie called Contagion (amazing film, btw!) which I've been dying to see with my best friend. I didn't want my make up to be too dramatic for the cinema but I still wanted something noticable (if that makes any sense!) So this is what I came up with:



The products I used were:


Eyes:
MAC Brulee & Texture Eyeshadows
UD Half baked, Baked & Zero Eyeshadows
Estee Lauder Artist's Eye Pencil in 01 soft smudgeblack
L'oreal Carbon Black Lineur Intense Liquid Liner

Face:
NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Stromboli
MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NC35
Cargo Blu_Ray Powder in 20
