Another opening, another show!

Last night, I had the honor of going to the opening night of Stephens College Performing Arts Department presentation of Legally Blonde: The Musical.  It was a beautifully done show with amazing talents performing which I am so lucky to call my friends and classmates.  I did my makeup all nice and pretty for the show but not in pink!! Instead I chose colors that matched the water color pattern of the skirt of the dress I was wearing.

For my lips, I used my ever loved Revlon Just Been Kissed balm stain in Sweetheart because it really does stay put and it's a lovely bright color.  On my cheeks I used the brand new Revlon Baby Sticks color for lips and cheeks in the lightest color, which is a mix of a light baby pink and  a coral- it's really lovely and goes on really nicely, expect a review soon!  For my foundation I used my new Revlon Photo Ready foundation, and I've totally fallen in love with it.  I think I may have fallen in love with the whole Revlon line, at least the Photo Ready section of it!

Please excuse the icky eyebrows, I hadn't groomed them in a little over a week!  To create this eye, I used my BH Cosmetics Eye Shadow 88 color palette, #2.  I first primed my eye with Revlon Photo Ready eye shadow primer, I'm still on the ropes about the packaging but the product is great!  I put a base of a light teal/ocean green blue non shimmer all over my lid and then took a light forest shimmery green and put it on the inside half of my lid and then on the outside and the crease I used a bright, shimmery blue.  Up into my arch I dusted a yellow/gold shimmer color as a brow highlighter as well.  I finished it all of with a few swipes of my Covergirl Lash Blast mascara.
I love getting to play around with bright eyeshadow colors and designs, do you have any makeup that you love to try new things with? XOXO

An audition look!

Hi guys, you're probably aware of this by now but I'm a theatre major with an emphasis in performance.  This means auditions all the time, and how you look is one of the biggest factors in the real world of whether you will be considered for something.  This is the look I did for 'Legally Blonde: The Musical' auditions, keep in mind I had to take the picture after auditions which involved a dance call so it doesn't look as fantastic as it had that morning.  

 For my foundation, I used Rimmel Clean Finish poreless foundation in Ivory, and then used their Matte powder in the color that's one up from Translucent.  I then used my Stilla convertible lip/cheeck color in Petunia.  I think this blush is so easy to apply and gives such a nice, natural glow.  On my lips I used Revlon Kissable lip balm stain in Sweetheart which is a bright pink.

For my eyes, I used my ever trusty Sephora eyeshadow palette.  I stuck to browns and gold shimmers, since they're more neutral but give the eye still a bit of a pop.  I didn't use and harsh eyeliner, I only lined my water lines with Rimmel Scandaleyes eye liner in Nude.  I then used my Rimmel Scandaleyes Curve Alert mascara for a 'my eyelashes but better' look.  The with my lashes out a bit and gave them just the right amount of OOMPH.
This type of makeup would also be good for a job interview or a meeting because it is natural but you still look very much put together.
How do you do your makeup for important occasions for work? XOXO
