Pink and Brown – Look of the Day

February 10, 2010 kristalovesmakeup

Hey everyone!

I wore this look during the Superbowl and really liked it. I think in the future I may change the eyeliner a bit and use pencil instead of liquid.

I recently bought NYC Smooth Skin Loose Powder Foundation. Usually, I don’t buy products from NYC because I thought that if they were that cheap, they couldn’t possibly be good. But then I kept hearing all of these great things about EyesLipsFace (better known as ELF), and their products are around the same price as NYC. So I bought an eyeliner from NYC to prove myself wrong….but I wasn’t too impressed. Figured…nah, I was right.

For a while, I’ve been searching for a cheaper loose powder foundation for my face. I’m saving up for NARS, but that stuff is expensive! And I currently use TruBlend, but it’s a little too shimmery for me (especially in February!). So I asked around on this message board I use and people seemed to use and like the NYC powder. I wasn’t going to buy it, but I really needed some foundation and it was only about $3, so I considered….

But there were only two shades. Aw man. Not looking good. The one in Natural Beige looks close enough to my winter shade, so I caved and bought it. I’ve got to admit…I was wrong! The color is close to my skin tone and it provides all over cover.

My favorite thing about this product: It looks natural and isn’t shimmery!
My least favorite thing about this product: Packaging – the sifter is kinda big, so a lot of powder comes through…more than necessary, actually. So I’ve spilled more than I’d like to admit =/

I decided to use this powder when I created this look.
