No Makeup March, Day 12: Makeup Revolution & Missy Lynn Edition

Hellooo!

Alright, so I had to work today, right? And I went to the store to find a simple black shirt to wear, because I didn't have one to wear and I wasn't feeling any of the shirts that I already had. So, I took myself to Ross and found a decent shirt, and as I was in line I discovered a scarf.

Now, for any of you that don't know this (and you probably don't, because I haven't talked about it), I am a complete scarf addict. Scarves are my thing; I'm a big girl, and I like to manipulate my silhouette with draping things (cardigans, long shirts, etc) and scarves - infinity scarves in particular - are my weakness - I own about 25 scarves right now. So, imagine me seeing a scarf like this, and trying not to buy it. Believe it or not, it was actually harder than not buying makeup, and we all know how bad I am at not buying makeup. So naturally, I bought it, and naturally, I needed to figure out a look to go with it. Now, I could've easily done a look like the Egyptian Bird of Paradise (the details of which are in the previous post), but I had to remind myself that it was still a work environment, and I'm supposed to be a demure, grown woman (for the most part) there, so I had to find a way to make a look inspired off of the scarf and then tone it down at the same time, so I ended up with this:

And an eye shot:

PEEP. THEM. LASHES.

I don't have a video for you, which is probably going to happen whenever I have to work, but here it is! This is really just a muted version of the Egyptian Bird of Paradise (I love that name lmao), so it's nothing to write home about; well, maybe those lashes, which we will get into in a minute. But if you're looking for some color (and this is a look that I got a lot of compliments on today) but don't want to look ridiculous in a work environment, then stay tuned! Here come the details!

FACE:

Primer:

• L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base Primer on my cheeks
• Benefit The POREfessional Matte Rescue Mattifying Gel on my T-Zone
• Hard Candy Sheer Envy Shine Free Primer on my T-Zone
• ...Again, forgot to prime the rest of my face
  

 Concealer:

• Mouth, Nose, Chin, and Uneven Skintone on Cheeks: the left, lighter color of the Ruby Kisses 3D Face Creator in #12
• Under Eye: Nicka K New York HD Concealer in Fallow; L.A. Girl HD Pro Concealer in Fawn

Foundation: Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme Foundation in 340 Cappuccino

I noticed that applying foundation with a blending sponge after applying concealer with a blending sponge displaces the concealer, so don't do that! Don't be like me!

Eh, like I said, nothing to really write home about, because I was trying to keep it muted, but I adore MUR shadows! I really do plan to own every palette that they come out with, because they're all amazing, and so worth it. I work again tomorrow, and I think I might be feeling a little dark, if you know what I mean, but we'll see! Good night!
