Happy Friday! It’s been quite a while since I featured a Face of the Day, so today I pulled out one of my favorite new palettes (review coming soon!) and decided to recreate the look I wore to this years Marine Corps Ball. These shadows are so creamy and easy to blend, and the palette is great for creating an entire look, from eyes to cheeks, and even brows!
FACE:
- NYX Angel Veil Skin Perfecting Primer
- Benefit High Beam
- Laura Mercier Silk Creme Moisturizing Photo Edition Foundation in Beige Ivory
- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard
- Laura Mercier Universal Loose Setting Powder in Translucent (under eyes)
- Urban Decay Naked Skin Ultra Definition Pressed Finishing Powder
- Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water
EYES/BROWS:
- Milani Stay Put Brow in Dark Brown
- LORAC Behind the Scenes Eye Primer
- Smashbox Shape Matters Palette
- Ardency Inn Modster Smooth Ride Supercharged Eyeliner in Black (upper lash line)
- Urban Decay 24/7 Waterline Eye Pencil in Rail (water line)
- Lancome Hynose Drama Mascara (top and bottom lashes)
- Makeup Geek Starry Eyed Foiled Eyeshadow (inner corner)
- House of Lashes Temptress Lashes
CHEEKS:
- Smashbox Shape Matters Palette
- Benefit Rockateur Blush
LIPS:
- Charlotte Tilbury Bitch Perfect Lipstick
- YSL Gloss Volupte in Nude Carat
EYES…From the new Smashbox Shape Matters Palette, I applied the taupe shade to my lids, used the soft brown shadow for a transition, the dark brown for my crease, and the black in the outer corner. I also dragged the dark brown across my lower lash line. After applying mascara and falsies, I finished off the eyes with a touch of Makeup Geek Starry Eyed. This is a stunning foiled shadow that works perfect in the inner corner!
The falsies I used today are Temptress from House of Lashes. These are so light and fluttery, and feel like nothing at all on the eyes. They don’t taper at the inner corners though, so the can appear quite intense.
FACE…I applied my favorite Laura Mercier Foundation with a dampened beautyblender, then concealed with a NARS concealer. I set my under eyes with the Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder, then powdered the rest of my face with my favorite Urban Decay finishing powder.
CHEEKS…From the Shape Matters palette I applied the cool toned contour shade (upper left) to the hollows of my cheeks, then highlighted with the soft pearly highlight (lower right). Lastly, I added a tiny bit of Benefit Rockatuer to my cheekbones.
LIPS…A new favorite combo of mine is the layering Charlotte Tilbury’s Bitch Perfect Lipstick with a YSL Gloss Volupte in Nude Carat. The result is soft and pink, and my go-to for both day and night!

You definitely did such a beautiful look – as you always do. I just love taupes on the lid… it gives a smoky look all on its own 🙂
I agree! Taupes are so great for a smokey, yet not too intense look, and the formula of these are amazing!
