Greetings, dear readers, and happy Monday! It's been awhile since posting! Every time things settle down enough and I think I'll get back to something resembling a routine, something pops up. If it's not something physically stopping me, it's my mental health taking a nosedive. I greatly appreciate your patience with me this past year, and what a year it has been! Yikes! Now let's leave that craziness behind and jump in on today's post!
This weekend marked the start of a new season, and I wanted to create a fresh makeup look to mark the occasion. Check it out!
I was really feeling the shades in the Viseart Petite Pro Chou Chou palette and had to put them to good use this weekend! While the palette is not available right now, it should be coming back in the next couple of weeks. I kept my application light handed as I wanted a more subtle look, but it is such a great palette that will carry you from spring and into summer with the vibrant hues!
I also used my go-to coral blush, The Standard by Doubledown Cosmetics in my look. It's not the easiest to see here as I do keep my blush application light in the first place plus added to the bright lights for photos, but it is such a good coral hue!
I completed the look by applying a coat of Viseart Moisture Boost Lip Shine in the shade Scala. This lip oil is a bronzy caramel hue, but the pinkness in my lips tones down the brown to give me the colour I wanted for this look.
Did you do anything special to mark the start of Spring? I'm having to lay low at home between my knee injury setback and being high risk with COVID, but it was beautiful here and I spent a lot of time outside with the hubby and kids. I am enjoying being outside as much as I can right now before it gets too hot and I have to spend most of the day indoors.
Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful day!
XO!
Glad you're feeling better! I love your peachy look. I don't have that Viseart palette, but I should break out my most recent Viseart and give it a go to celebrate spring. Love the Viseart "Scala". I haven't tried any of their lip products yet
ReplyDeleteI was gifted the coral shirt in my last photo for my birthday last week, and it helped sway me towards the Chou Chou palette. I've not been wearing lipsticks lately, but I do keep the lip oils I have in my frequent rotation right now!
DeleteYou look absolutely amazing Jen! <3 Nothing too fancy here - Jeff just got his first vaccination and a week after, he got a fever (this weekend) and was nauseated for 3 days. :(
ReplyDeleteThank you!And I hope Jeff id feeling much better by now! I just got my first vaccination yesterday, so this may be my weekend.
DeleteSo glad to see you looking so well. Using these beautiful shades hopefully cheered you up. No makeup this weekend since I was just home but last week I wore a Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette twice and loved it. I also tried GrandeCosmetics mascara and it's a nice everyday one.
ReplyDeleteI love the formula of Natasha Denona- which one did you use? I've not tried the GrandeCosmetics mascara but will add to my list to try out. So far if it's not tubing mascara, I end up looking like a sexy raccoon. Ha!
DeleteI love this look on you. Glad to see that you're doing well.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Between physical and mental health issues makeup hasn't happened frequently, but there is no denying I feel better when I put at least a little effort in!
DeleteI missed your blog a lot! You look so glowy and beautiful, as always!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you! It's certainly been a trying year- either the body is willing and the mind is just not there or the body has been too broken to handle even the physical work. Every time I would feel like I could start blogging consistently again *something* would happen so now I won't say anything lest I jinx myself again.
DeleteThis is such a pretty look on you! Fresh and definitely spring-y!
