NARS Spring 2011 look: Breakdown

Nars, awakens the spirit to spring. The palette of jeweled earth tones is accented with shots of unexpectedly bright color. To achieve the makeup look in this image, below were the steps done:

1) The model Iris's complexion was evened with Barcelona Sheer Glow Foundation and Custard Concealer. Both were set with a light dusting of Eden Loose Powder before Laguna Bronzer was blended across the forehead, cheekbones and jaw line to lend skin a little extra warmth.

2) Next, Palm Beach Multiple was applied to the cheekbones and temples, blending outwards toward the hairline, as contour. Laguna Bronzing Powder was used along forehead, cheekbones, and jaw line to create more shade and contour.

3) The eye was prepped with Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base, and then the deep bronze shade of Calanque Trio Eyeshadow was applied from lash to brow.

4) Next, the matte caramel shade was blended into the lid. The lash line and waterline were defined with Black Moon Eyeliner Pencil.

5) Brows were defined with Coconut Grove Single Eyeshadow.

6) The eyes were finished with two coats of Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara on both the top and bottom lashes.

7) An almost-nude lip - created by Tzigane Lipstick topped with Madère Pure Matte Lipstick - complemented the look.

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review, Swatches

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US. The first product I bought of this brand was a liquid foundation, which was my first foundation of all. And, as expected I chose the wrong shade and had to throw it away.

I bought the shade 04 Glimmer: Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss Like usual glosses, it comes

I am mentioning the name along with the quantities here:
