FOTD: Golden Bronze

Whenever I'm stuck in a rut, I go for a no-brainer-look using bronzes and golds. This, for me, is the easiest look I can come up with when I'm in a rush or when I lack creativity. Don't get me wrong. This no-brainer-look isn't what you think it is. I actually love this look because of its ability to make me look polished and glam with very little effort. Now isn't that a good thing?


See what I mean?

This was the look that I wore when I was asked by our ISP's technical engineer if I was a celebrity. I said "no," of course, but that comment left me surprised and well, flattered, because my makeup that day was simple and a bit boring.

On Eyes
Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean
Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette
Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner in Black
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil in Zero
Covergirl Lashblast Mascara
L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara
L'Oreal Telescopic Clean Definition Mascara



On Face
Foundation Primer (can't remember the brand. I threw away the box when I got it)
Skinfood Peach Sake BB Cream #2
Skinfood Salmon Dark Circle Concealer Cream
Pureglow Minerals Eye Brightener
Pureglow Minerals Eye Wake
Bare Naturals Mineral Foundation in Light Medium
MUFE HD Powder
Milani Glimmer Stripes in Bronze Glimmer (used as blush and highlight)
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzing Powder


On Lips
Maui Lipbalm
NYX Round Lipstick in Perfect
Revlon Colorstay Mineral Lipglaze in Forever Fig

By the way, I didn't go to work wearing only this tank top that I got from Charry's blogsale. I actually wore a blazer on top of it.

If you're wondering why the lighting looks a bit odd (especially in the last two photos), it's all because I was playing with two different cameras that day. Plus, the sun always plays games with me.

Do you ever get stuck in a rut sometimes? How do you prep yourself when you're stuck in a rut? Let me know! I'm curious :)

Thanks, Carine. I'm not a big fan of pastels coz they don't work that well on me, or at least I think.

Thanks, Stacie. I love this look just as much as you do. It's a no-brainer and full proof when you're rushing.

Ah, April, your comments leave me speechless. You're such a sweetheart. Thank you for your sweet and flattering comment. I'm glad to have met you here on blogger.

I know what you mean, Sush. They bore me sometimes too, but they're so easy to do and they never fail to enhance brown eyes regardless of the shade. Pretty versatile I should say.
