Going for an easy Mother’s Day look — I hope your Mother’s Day is lovely! Do you have plans?
Eyes:
Lids: NARS Riviera I wanted to see how this did on my eyes because it is marketed for eyes, lips, cheeks, an all over product. I’ve not used it for my lips yet.
Crease: Prescriptives 04 gray cream,
Outer corners: Mary Kay Silver Shiver, waterproof cream
Over lids: Trish McEvoy sparkly opalish pressed glitter shadow
Gel Liner
I wanted to see if the same technique I’ve been using with Black Cherry gel liner would work with the other colors I have. Again, I used the back end of the shadow brush for most of it.
Top tight lined: Peacock gel liner
Lower water lined: Tidal Wave gel liner
Brows: Merle Norman powder
Mascara: upper, Guerlain; lower, Tarte
Sunscreen: La Prairie
Primer: Avon Magix
Foundation, Glow, Blush: L’Oreal minerals — this time for foundation I used the L’oreal brush dipped into the top of the bottom container — the bad thing about that is if you need more product, you have the screw the brush back on in order to tip it upside down to get more product into the top.
Powder: no extra today
More blush: NARS Riviera on cheek bones
Lips: NYX Lips Champagne

You’re quite meticulous, I see!!
I especially like the lip colour, suits you great! And the gel eyeliner is quite subtle in the coloured shades, although one would think not. I don’t know if it’s your eyes or your technique, it sure looks discreet and not “look at me!!!”. Like it
Thanks! I liked the lip color too. It has enough in it that isn’t brown to make it wearable for me.
I was happy with the way the gel liner went on. I think it works better on me with this technique as it isn’t so hard edged. I especially like Tidal Wave, but the one or two other times I tried Peacock I wasn’t convinced. I liked it today, though.
Do you ever wear colors around your eyes? Your eyes are darker than mine, but I like colored liners with brown eyes. You’d look great for a more subtle look (yet exotic) with MAC black/brown like I do too. You might need a different shade of both the black and the brown than I use. (I use graphblack and earthline.)
I think you could wear these too if you started with a more subtle line than I use and then move up from there if you wanted to try it with more. Start with some of the colored Rocks! glitter from AL. That gives some spark, but it’s really very subtle.
Is this the purple eyeliner you’re wearing today? It looks so blue in the photos. The liquid eyeliner just pops and really brings focus to your eyes!
No, the purple from today is a different color. I will post those FOTD photos later.
