Ever since the beginning of time, aka: when I first moved out of home, my Mum would collect newspaper/magazine clippings of articles that she felt would be of interest to me. She would always send them to me, no matter where I lived in the world – she even posted them to me when I lived in London.
Last week she rocked up for babysitting duties with the standard handful of clippings. She showed me a makeup look, and I’m not sure what she saw, but she did that thing she does with her nose when she doesn’t like something. What I saw was a perfect wing, yeah it was electric blue, not a look you’d slap on to head down to Coles, but it was a superb application.
If you want it, I can do it. My makeup style is definitely ‘natural’, I love ‘barely there’ foundation, soft dewy skin and subtle eye makeup that enhances your natural beauty. But I’ve got skills I keep hidden away for special occasions, like tormenting my Mother, so if you’re feeling inclined to hit the local with an electric blue wing, I’m up for it.
(I’m predicting a shit tonne of newspapers on my doorstep after this little dig. Luv ya Mum, and your bloody newspapers).
Lara’s eyes were slightly contoured using the @toofaced Born This Way palette in the colour “nude”. Mini wing applied using @inglot_australia Duraline to transform a dry powder shadow into a liquid liner. Brows filled using @anastasiabeverlyhills Brow Powder Duo in “Soft Brown” and tamed using @makeup_weapons Brow Balm. Velvety skin achieved by using the @smashboxcosmetics Photo Finish Primer, @meccacosmetica Lit from Within Illuminating Drops, @narsissist Sheer Glow Foundation, finished off with a dusting of @lauramercier Translucent Powder. Contour, blush and @meccacosmetica Enlightened Highlight on the cheeks. Lip is cult favourite @maccosmeticsaustralia “Velvet Teddy” Lipstick.
