Hi everyone,
It's still Breast Cancer Awareness month and I wanted to do a look for this. We have a friend of the family who had breast cancer 15 years ago and she's thankfully still alive. I believe all the women supporting friends and/or fighting (breast)cancer should get all the support in the world.
Final eye:

I was in somewhat of a hurry the morning I had this look (I did take off the breast cancer sign before leaving the house), so this is an eye that doesn't take a lot of time and is very shimmery.

Face
When preparing for makeup, I've always used a primer under my foundation ever since I found a great primer in Photo Finish (Smashbox). The look I posted before this I didn't use a foundation primer and my skin started to shine halfway through the day, so I'm all for primer again with this look. The primer I used here was the Hybrid 2 in 1, which gives a soft glow to the skin, followed by YSL Teint Parfait in no. 3 which also has a shimmer to it. This is not a foundation, but my skin wasn't in need of foundation so I skipped it. Using only some of the Concealer Palette to hide a little discolouration under my eyes.

Eyes
On my eyes I used Primer Potion as a base and over this is used (all over my eyelid) the creme colour from the Bourjois Cafe & Creme Kohl. Over this I used some of the white from the Noir & Blanc kohl under the arc of my brow and on the inner corner of my eyes. See here the unblended white:

Blend this well using your fingers!
As a shimmer all over and under my eyes I used Meringue with the All over shadow brush. This creates a shimmer all over and around the eye, very ice-lady
Over the places where I put the white before I used the light pink from the Smashbox Eye Shadow Duo in Sexy/Demure. This is slightly lighter, adding some depth and lightness to the eye. Taking the no. 15 Definger brush I brushed some Grifter (a light shimmery purple) in my crease. I really faded it out but made sure there was a thick layer of Grifter, because the next step was adding a little Dazzle Dust in Cherry Red to the centre of the crease. If you blend this really well the hard pink edge fades and the purple underneath becomes more pink.
I also took the thin liner brush and the same dazzle dust to draw the Breast Cancer ribbon on my cheek?


At this point I curled my lashes and added 2 coats of the Masterpiece Mascara pink side. I also brushed my brows into place.

Lips
On my lips I used Mark lip gloss in Blow Kisses
