I had a lot of fun with my Asian Beauty FOTD challenge last week and decided to try and choose more themes to encourage my use of different products. I've accumulated a lot of samples both sachets and deluxe sized ones and wanted to try just using them to create a whole look.
After having a play around, I settled on the following:
- Too Faced's Primed and Poreless
- Benefit's That Gal primer
- NARS foundation in Siberia? (I thought this was Sheer Glow but it gave quite a matte effect so this might be a sample I nabbed when Sheer Matte was still in stores)
- Benefit's Fake Up concealer
- Benefit's Hoola bronzer
- Benefit's Benetint (seriously Benefit are the gods of deluxe samples)
- Benefit's Highbeam
- Too Faced's Hot Mama blush/highlight
- Too Faced's Shadow Insurance eye primer (not fussed on this)
- Sugarpill eyeshadow samples in Magentric & Birthday Girl
- Femme Fatale eyeshadow samples in Nightlash, Efflorescence & Archangel
- Stila Stay All Day eyeliner
- Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes mascara
- Benefit Bad Gal pencil liner
- Etude House lip gloss
Here's the result! I'm pleased with how it turned out. I could've gone for a bit more coverage with the foundation as there's a bit of redness near my nose but no worries really. I used the Benetint as both a blush and lip tint as I didn't want to go too bold with the lips.
Here you can see the eyeshadow a bit better. It's not until I look at photos that I see my blending errors :( I had trouble getting the Femme Fatale Efflorescent to work. It's a duochrome so it photographed strangely and looks like I've got some gaps on my eyelid when there's really a shimmery purple shade there. I liked how Nightlash worked with the Sugarpill eyeshadows though and Archangel made a nice brow bone shimmer (although it was pretty hard to photograph, its lovely and demure)
Cheat products - I had no sample eyebrow products and I couldn't go without eyebrows! I used my usual Illamasqua Stark and brow gel that I go to for my normal FOTD's.
