I’m going to try to post my FOTDs for an entire week…  So here’s Monday!  I work by myself on Monday, so I don’t need anything too perfect or overdone – however, that doesn’t mean I’m just leaving with mascara on!

I think I sort of “rediscovered” pink blush today.  I’m always worried that using pink on my cheeks will enhance the natural redness in my skin, so I usually opt for peachy colors when it comes to blush.  However, I decided it was time to finally pull out my Crushed Bougainvillea CCB and give it a try.  I am SO happy with the results!  The color seemed much more glowy and “from within” than some of the normal choices I opt for.  This may be the start of something new for me.

Ah, the no-makeup look…  Nothing quite as elusive as that fabulous makeup look that gives the illusion of having naturally flawless, glowing skin while still balancing the look by not making your use of makeup overally obvious.  I wanted to try this look out today and I decided to use my airbrush to attempt the subtle look. Applying the airbrush foundation gives a great canvas, and applying the blush and contour by airbrush allows for a much lighter application, so the colors come out looking much more natural on the skin.  On the eyes I used very little shadow for slight definition.  I have to say I think I did pretty well – three people approached me today at work and said ‘you’re not wearing makeup today!’ or ‘you should never wear makeup – you look great!’.  I think this is a look I will go for more often.  It does take more effort and attention to get my skin looking so even, but I think the result was worth it.

I just got my hair touched up and some lighter blonde highlights… I feel like my complexion brightens up so much right after I get my color done! Anyway, I felt like this FOTD complemented both my eye color and my hair well. These pictures were taken on my new Samsung Captivate. Not bad for a phone right!?
