FOTD: "Sea Escape" E.L.F. Flawless Eyeshadow

Face Of The Day
"Sea Escape"

Awesome Weekend!

I had a great time shooting products for my reviews and yesterday I decided to use some of them. And this look highlights E.L.F.'s Flawless Eyeshadow in Sea Escape. Though I also used some of my favorite items to complete the look.

How to Get The Look:

Basically I used 11 products for this look.

FACE. After I washed my face and applied toner & sunblock, I used The Body Shop - Vitamin E Cool BB Cream. It has only one shade that is good for light to medium toned skin. I used it as a base since it has more moisture than coverage. But it does prep my skin very well... thus the Vitamin E.
I used Mary Kay Timewise Matte Foundation in Beige 2 to hide my blemish scars. I needed to put on foundation for additional coverage since I'll be out for almost the whole day. I also used matte since I have combination - oily skin.
To prep my eyes, I used E.L.F. Eye Primer.
To contour my face I used E.L.F. Contouring Blush & Bronzer in St. Lucia but I only used the bronzer for countouring.
EYEBROWS. For my brows, I first drew the shape of my brows using NYX Eyebrow Marker in Deep. (See Review Here)
Then to fill my brows, I used Le Faerie Cosmetics Eyebrow Palette.
CHEEKS. For my cheeks, I always wanted a natural blush so I used my all-time favorite The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Tint. I set my blush with E.L.F. Contouring Blush by slightly patting it on (this time I used the Blush).
LIPS. I swiped a bit of The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Tint on my lips and finished it off with Maybelline Color Sensational in 235 Warm Me Up. I chose this for a natural / kinda nude lips for a very strong eyeshadow.
EYES. Refer to Photo below. After allowing the primer to dry, I first used the BASE color which has shimmer. I also applied it upto my lower brow area. Then I added on the LID color on my lids by just patting on the eyeshadow powder. It has a matte finish so it really lifts up the "sea blue" color. I then applied CREASE on my crease then LINE near my lash line.
I lined my eyes with 4U2 Tempting Eyes ENVY in Black.
Then finished the whole look by curling my lashes then applying L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara.

The eyeshadow of the hour: E.L.F. Flawless Eyeshadow

Here is the final look:

And there you go! ;) Hope you liked that one! I know I was not able to show photos of step-by-step procedure since this was one of those "spontaneous" posts. I'll try to give you a more detailed "TUTORIAL" next time. ;) -- I'll surely work on that, with a video perhaps? What do you think?
