permanently loving as well as using peachy pink as well as chocolate brown tones!
Yesterday was a great day since 1) I handled to put on some makeup, as well as I felt truly great about it (especially the base, since dang, it’s been a minute because I’ve mixed as well as layered as well as just played, ya know?), as well as 2) I did something almost, well…normal.
Connor’s autumn dance classes started yesterday, so I took her to her dance studio for the very first time because February? March? I can’t remember. It’s been a loooong time.

It’s still difficult for me to believe it was somewhere we went weekly for two years…
Anyway, she started doing outdoor, socially-distanced dance classes this week, so for the very first time in six months I dropped her off to do something without me, as well as yeah, I teared up a little. pleased tears, though, since she was overjoyed to do something with other kids. ?
All the dance friends!
While she danced, I ran tasks around town as well as popped into TJs, where it occurred to me that when upon a time, in pre-pademic life, days such as this were commonplace, as well as I didn’t provide them a second thought, however yesterday it just felt SO GOOD. perhaps it was since it was a bit taste of typical life again, which made it that much sweeter.

Regarding my makeup, I’m using chocolate brown wings on my lash lines here, together with matte peach as well as pink tones on my lids, cheeks as well as lips. It’s a extremely clean, traditional look.
I put a bit much more effort into the base than I typically do, as well as I believe it made a difference. I started by applying a foundation primer, then mixed a full-coverage foundation with a pearly illuminating lotion as well as buffed a thin layer of that around my face.
Next, I mixed a couple drops of deal with oil into a medium-to-full protection concealer, then used it in thin layers on my cheeks, nose as well as around my mouth, taking care to perfectly blend all of the layers together.
To finish, I set whatever with the lightest dusting of loose powder…
What I like about this type of base is that you get a great amount of coverage, however it doesn’t look or feel heavy!
Oh, as well as one last thing — I test drove a few new-ish things in this look from MAC as well as Laura Mercier for the very first time. I utilized a couple of the Powder Kiss Soft Matte Eye Shadows, a MAC Powder Kiss liquid Lipstick as well as a Laura Mercier Translucent Honey loose Powder. I’ll let ya understand exactly how I feel about them after I’ve had a long time to ruminate!
When simple-looking makeup is deceptively complicated, LOL!
Yeah, man, I’m still an NC42!
