QOTD: What is your signature look?

While bold & bright seem to be part of my makeup vocabulary lately, the majority of the time I like to keep it nice and simple with my makeup. This is the makeup combination I turn to most often. Call it a signature look if you will.

For me, a signature looks makes me feel like me still but enhanced.

It’s makeup I reach for on the days I’m too tired or lazy to think about what to put on my face. There’s no need to find eyeshadows for the crease or inner tear duct, nor highlighter for the cheekbones and bronzer to contour. For me, this is the slap-it-on-but-look-put-together kind of look.

I went with my signature look today:  black gel liner, pinky/peach or pinky/mauve blush, neutral lip colour, and mascara.

For my signature look, the colours are always on the neutral side and there is almost always black gel liner involved. Lipstick is more muted like a pink or a peach but not nude or else I  end up looking like a zombie from the Walking Dead.

Foundation: MUFE Primer, HD Foundation #127

Blush: Benefit Hervana (review to come!)

Eyeshadow: BootyCall from UD Naked 2
