FOTD: Back to Basics: Angelic Nude

At the Australian Beauty Bloggers Weekend just passed, FACE OF AUSTRALIA introduced us to  4 of their new looks:

  • Angelic Nude
  • Baby Doll
  • Sleek Sophisticate
  • Morning After
For today's FOTD I decided to do my take on the "Angelic Nude" look as part of my "Back to Basics" series.

Here's the official photo:

Basically, the look entails natural foundation, lightly flushed cheeks, nude eyes and a soft pink pout.

Because I am me, I can never go without eyeliner and eyeshadow, so I've added that to the look :D I didn't use much powder of concealer to keep the look "real". I know it look slightly different from the official image, I've just adapted it to my tastes and preferences. I need to have defined eyes all the time, lest I look like a 12 year old! :)

Here is my interpretation of the "Angelic Nude" look:

    Face
    Illamasqua Skin Base Foundation
    FACE OF AUSTRALIA Translucent Powder
    Illamasqua Cream Blush in Rude

    IRL these shadows were a lot less shimmery and quite matte.
    Eyes
    Urban Decay Naked Palette- Half Baked and Smog
    Napoleon Perdis China Doll Eyeliner
    Sublime de Chanel Mascara

    Lips
    FACE OF AUSTRALIA Lipstick in Silver Rose


    SEE HOW LITTLE PRODUCTS I'VE USED!?

    I really like this lipstick- it works perfectly on my skin tone and is really moisturising. PLUS it has SPF 30+!!! Perfect for the harsh QLD summer.

    I'd love to see you guys do an "Angelic Nude" interpretation so PLEASE leave me a link in the comments.

    Keep it Haute!

    2. Haha I would need to add eyeshadow and liner too, lest I should look like an alien. :) Half Baked looks beautiful on you, as does that lip colour (which I must hunt down and swatch). AND GIVE ME YOUR EYELASHES ALREADY. *steals*
