My Signature Look 2009 : Red Lips and Smokey-ish eyes

December 31, 2009 Paris B 10 Comments

So, my sort of signature look this year has been smokey-ish eyes and red lips. For me, that’s a fool proof look I can pull from day to night. Part of the reason also is that smokey eyes can hide a multitude of makeup mistakes and then I distract with red lips. haha… 😛

So, here’s how I’m ringing out the old year and ringing in the new.

Because I’m feeling a little lazy, I’m going with quite an understated eye look. A quick blend of the Maybelline Eyestudio Diamond Glow palette in pink gray and I’m done. I’ve used it so much this year with great success, I amaze myself at how this affordable palette has saved my look time and again since I discovered it.

For a touch of understated glam, I’ve dabbed on the Guerlain le 2 Brush Mascara in Reine 2 Nuit which was released with the Guerlain Christmas collection. I’m going to complain about the packaging. It looks pretty, but feels like plastic which saddens me. I liked the heft of the original le 2 Brush mascara 🙁 The base mascara colour is black and the top coat is gold. Not very noticable but catches a little under the lights. Which red lip did you think I’d go with?

For lips, I went with Chanel Jupiter glossimer. I was dithering between Stage Racy Wonderkiss or Dior Serum de Rouge Crimson but I decided to go with something a little less bright yet sparkly.

And that brings 2009 to a close. I wonder if I’m going to have a signature look in 2010 or if I’d just stick to this one since it works well for me. Hmm…

What’s your signature look and how are you ringing in the new year?

    Bare eyes, glowy/sunkissed cheeks for the summer and red gloss 🙂 Nothing over the top; will be ushering the new year around the bbq pit with a beer in my hand – shorts and tee, very laidback and super un-glam, haha

    Much better than my signature look of 2009 which was something like baby milk splatters and yoghurt smears!

    Really like the smoky eyes.

    Nice signature look, PB! Seems like I’m going for that same look mostly these days since it’s easy and fast! Though I skip mascara and only do eyeliner–it’s “baby” fast!

    Ringing in the new year at home–hoping to catch some fireworks from my balcony where I have a view of KLCC 🙂

    Happy New Year!

It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come.

I never appreciated hair mists but the Chanel No. 5 Hair Mist is a nice, light way to enjoy the perfume. Who says you can only spray on your hair? 😬
What’s your CNY shaping up like?
