I did this look last night for a dinner date with the hubby. It was a cold and rainy night so I went for dark and smokey all around. The only thing is that I find dark lips make me look so pale that this looks a bit like a vampire attire. I think the redish purples also bring out the gold shades in my hazel eyes, which makes the look more vampire-y, lol! What do you guys think?

This is the look I wore to work today when I was having a brain freeze and didn't know what to do with my face. I've done a look similar to this before but I just wanted to wear something colourful and didn't want to think about it too much.

What's everyone doing this weekend? We have our neighbours over for dinner in a couple of hours and the rest of the weekend seems free. We'll probably go to dinner/dancing tomorrow night.

Hope you guys like this look. Have a great weekend everyone!

I was wearing a stripey shirt and red stilettos today so I decided to compliment my outfit and came up with this look. I actually liked how it turned out, but it took me longer than usual to do my makeup which is weird for a simple look like this. I think it might be coz I had to wait for the glitter liner to dry before applying my mascara.

Let me know how you guys like this look :)

I was planing on a simple and sorta nautical look for today to compliment my stripey shirt. The simpler makeup actually took me twice as long to do and I ended up being late for work. That's when I started to think how often I do makeup that matched my clothes.

I don't normally like to match my makeup to my clothes. You would rarely catch me wearing purple eyeshadow with a purple shirt or red lipstick with a red dress. I'm however all for complimenting my clothes or matching my makeup to my accessories. For example, I'm wearing this stripe shirt and simple dark jeans with red stilettos and my makeup is simple cat eyes with red lips (FOTD to come this evening). So I matched my shoes and the general feel of my outfit. I also like to pick the less dominant colour in a multi-toned outfit and match my makeup to that. I find the complete matchy-matchy thing a bit overwhelming for my personal taste.

How about you guys? Do you like to do a full on match or do you prefer subtle matching or simply complimenting your outfits? Or do you just grab any makeup that's near you and don't dwell on it?

I made my own eyeliner with MAC Platinum pigment as part of my FOTD today. I wasn't too happy with it so I still added a thin layer of black liquid liner and finally I was satisfied. Also, can you guy believe that I only bought Woodwinked last week? I don't know why I waited so long; it's got such amazing colour payoff.

So here's Wednesday's FOTD, let me know what you guys think. I'm not too keen on it myself :/

I saw the beautiful sunshine as soon as I woke up and decided to do a golden green look. I used some of my fave summer shade that I hadn't touched for a while. I also left my jacket at home, yey! I'm hoping the beautiful weather continues into the weekend. How's you guys week going so far? I just got back from an out of town site meeting and am finally eating my lunch at 2:30 pm :/

Here's today's look. I skipped concealer and I included a lippie picture again. I'm in love with In Synch lip liner. I'm using it the most out of three lip liners I bought from Too Fabulous collections (I bought Naked and Trimmed in Pink as well). And you all know that I also love my Rouge Coco in Teheran. I definitely need at least two more Rouge Coco's.
