Hey Everyone! So it's been forever since I last blogged, but I really wanted to do a blog post with my new lipstick. I finally got my hands on Limecrime's Cashmere today, which I've been pining for for months. I did a quick look with it today that I wanted to share with you guys.
So I started off by using my YSL Touche Eclat foundation. This has been a staple of mine for years. It's such a light airy foundation and it's pale enough for my skin tone in the winter. Recently, I've been concentrating on face makeup. Especially because your skin can look dry and washed out in the colder months.
After using my YSL foundation I used a stick concealer for extra coverage. I believe mine is from Covergirl. I then used New Romance which is a MAC mineralize blush.
This color is so natural and has just enough sparkle to keep you looking youthful. I try to avoid heavy matte finishes because you can tend to look ashy. I then used my Covergirl powder all over my face to set my makeup. To finish off the face makeup I used Urban Decay's Naked Illuminated in the color Luminous. This is absolutely my favorite highlight I have found. I've been on the hunt for the perfect one and have finally found it. It's different than most because it doesn't have much pigment to it. It's a very subtle sparkly highlight. I definitely would only recommend this to you if you like sparkles. I always find that most highlights look ashy on my skin and too fake. So in my opinion this is the perfect highlight.
Next I did my eyes. I used Groundwork by MAC as a base. Nylon by MAC all over my eyelid and then Scene by MAC in the outer corner of my eye. I then used my Marc Jacobs Liquid Eyeliner Pencil and Urban Decay Perversion Mascara.
For my brows I used the Anastasia Brow Pomade in Ebony.
Swatches from Left to Right:
New Romance, Groundwork, Scene, Nylon, and (you can barely see it) Luminous.
Then for the fun part! I used Cashmere on my lips.
I am absolutely in love with this shade. I was a little wary at first when I put it on but it dried into a darker more beige purple tone on me. I love the Limecrime Velvetines Collection. The lipsticks all have amazing staying power and the colors are so unique. I highly recommend all of them.
