Purple Reigns in a FOTD (Filler-post Of The Day)

October 24, 2011 Paris B 64 Comments

Bonjour mes amies!

There isn’t much of substance I’ve prepared for today, it being a self-declared day off for me so I just have a random filler sort of post which in most cases would be termed a FOTD (Face Of The Day). For me, its a Filler-post Of The Day 😛

purple fotd

This was a look I did last week using one of the colours I’m most afraid to work with – Purple. I was quite pleased with it hence my mug plastered right here. Perhaps the fact the eyeshadow matched my shirt helped things along 😛

Here’s another angle where you can actually see the purple on the eyes instead of having to wonder at what I’m yammering on about.

purple look

Yes it would appear that I can comfortably wear Purple after all, albeit a cool toned purple 🙂 Just a quick and simple sort of look  that isn’t terribly artistic but imminently wearable daily. A quick breakdown of what is used is below.

  • Face: Liole Triple the Solution BB Cream – review coming soon. This is the BB Cream I’ve been Tweeting about being the first ever Korean BB Cream I have little to nothing bad to say about it and those familiar will know that’s a near impossibility! 😯
  • Eyes : Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette – Omen, Half Truth, Midnight 15 blended. This has fast become a favourite daily eyeshadow palette of mine!
  • Cheeks: Lancome Rose Blush Subtil in Rose Corail 
  • Lips: Sleek Makeup Pout Polish in Bare Minimum blended with Pout Paint in Pin Up

And that’s it Ladies.

Catch up with ya tomorrow! 😀

    OMG… I did one so similar to yours! I love purples…
    I love the colours from this palette, but I have to admit it’s a little underused. A pretty look on you. You should wear purples more often!

      Thank you Lily and what a coincidence indeed! I’ve started using this palette more often mainly because its so bulky I have to keep it outside so its the first thing I see and I’ve been experimenting around with different colour combinations. It actually makes a very nice neutral/safe colour palette which really surprised me 🙂

      Thank you AT! 😀 The purple eyeshadow surprised me because i usually shy away from purples. I guess its just a case of finding the right shade 🙂

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY PB!!! ^.^

    Pretty as usual! As for me, I don’t get any stuff to play with right now, unless I don’t want to get the Naked Palette.

    Hope you get younger every year! (As the Chinese saying goes)

          Haha thanks for the feedback – appreciate it! 😀 Will try to cut back on being so “cheong hei” and will try to see if I can come up with more posts like this one, depending on how confident I feel – takes a lot to put ones face out there 😉
