Natural Makeup Look | FOTD

I’ve been meaning to share a few FOTDs with you for the longest time, and finally the day has come! 
Today’s look is a really natural one, made to last for a really long day and through many different occasions and environments. Probably not the best evening one (usually my daily looks are already pretty intense), but a bit of eyeliner thrown in at dinner time always fixes it!

Natural Makeup Pupa MAC Marc Jacobs Jouer Lancome Anastasia Dior Lipstick Queen Kiehl's

I started with a quick application of Kiehl’s Micro-Blur Skin Perfector (I shared my thoughts on it in this Testing Samples post!), just to smooth things out a bit and prep my skin for a long makeup wearing day. It’s the best primer I’ve ever used, as it’s completely lightweight, doesn’t ball up and really does its job! I then used my latest foundation love, Pupa Like a Doll perfecting makeup fluid (it's in my last post!), which is a gorgeous smoothing foundation that looks like skin gliding over it whilst giving a respectable light to medium coverage. To cover my dark circles and my always slightly red nose, I used the amazing Dior Diorskin Star concealer, that is perfect for both jobs and stays all day without disappearing or creasing (review). To set the t-zone slightly, I used my favourite powder, the MAC Blot Powder Pressed, that is simply perfect. It never looks powdery, but keeps makeup in place for the longest days and works in the hot summer months too.

On the eyes, I started with my must have NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Primer, that makes eyeshadows look amazing and keeps them in place for hours and hours. I then used the utterly beautiful Marc Jacobs The Lolita Palette. The color selection is beautiful, with 3 mattes, 3 shimmers and a rather glittery middle one, and while is not a must have, it’s a really good one without a doubt! I used the mat cream as a base, the three shimmery shades from the lightest one to the darker from inner to outer corner, a mixture of the two mat browns in the outer corner and the lighter one in the crease to blend everything out. Next came a good coat, top and bottom, of my love Lancôme Grandiôse (reviewed here!), that even though is on its last legs still makes daily appearance as I just can’t stop using it. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz on the brows (the perfect eye pencil! See my first and definitive impressions here) and the eye look is complete.

The new entry Jouer Mattifying Powder Bronzer has already stole my heart: it’s a perfect colour and the texture it’s gorgeous! I like the shape of the compact too, as it makes it easy to concentrate the product on the bristles even with a big brush! You can read more about my bronzer application in this post. Today’s blush is a firm favourite of mine, I love it so much that I would place it in my top 3! It’s Lancôme Figure Espiegle, a plummy pink that it’s simply perfect in texture and color pay off. To finish it all off, a quick coat of Lipstick Queen Jean Queen, another recent purchase that it’s already a favourite as it’s really similar to Dior Addict Lip Glow, giving a slightly darker and rosier hue to my lips but still delivering lots of lovely moisture. Definitely the lip product for me!

FOTD Pupa Kiehl's Like A Doll MAC Dior Lancome Anastasia Jouer Lipstick Queen NARS

This morning when taking the pictures I honestly thought it was going to be a product only post, without the actual “face”, as the rainy day wasn’t making the photo easy, but in the end I managed to take an acceptable picture… Even though the natural look looks even more natural than it was in real life, as the eyeshadow definition was really pretty if I can say so myself!

YSL Black Opium

Last but not least, the perfume of the day. Well, I’ve been wearing it everyday since the beginning of October so I should call it the perfume of the month! It’s YSL Black Opium, and with its coffee and vanilla blend it made me fall in love from the beginning. So much that it’s in my October Favourites!

What have you been loving using lately? Hope you enjoyed this type of post!

Era da un bel po’ che avevo intenzione di mostrarvi qualche FOTD, e finalmente il giorno è arrivato!
Il look di oggi è molto naturale, destinato a resistere a una giornata molto lunga e fatto per adattarsi a diverse occasioni e diversi ambienti. Probabilmente non è il miglior look da sera (come lo sono di solito i miei look da giorno, oops!), ma un po’ di eyeliner applicato verso l’ora di cena sistema sempre tutto!

Ho cominciato con una veloce applicazione del Micro-Blur Skin Perfector Kiehl’s (potete trovare la mia recensione in questo post!), per uniformare leggermente e preparare la pelle a una lunga giornata. È il miglior primer che io abbia mai usato, visto che è leggerissimo, non forma fastidiosi pallini durante l’applicazione e funziona davvero! Ho quindi usato il mio nuovo amore in fatto di fondotinta, Like a Doll Pupa, che è un meraviglioso fondotinta levigante che sembra pelle nuda scivolando sopra di essa pur donando una coprenza quasi media (eccolo qua nel mio ultimo post!). Per coprire le mie occhiaie e il mio naso sempre leggermente rosso, ho usato il meraviglioso correttore Diorskin Star di Dior (review!), che è perfetto per entrambi gli scopi e dura tutto il giorno senza sparire o andare nelle pieghe. Per fissare leggermente la zona t ho usato la mia cipria preferita, Blot Powder di MAC, che è semplicemente perfetta. Non appare mai troppo polverosa, ma fa durare il trucco molto a lungo e funziona anche durante il caldo estivo.

Sugli occhi ho cominciato con la mia irrinunciabile base NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Primer, che fa durare gli ombretti per ore e ore. Ho quindi usato la bellissima palette The Lolita Marc Jacobs, che ha dei colori stupendi e contiene tre ombretti matt, 3 shimmer e uno centrale piuttosto glitterato. Non è necessariamente una palette must-have, ma è comunque bellissima! Ho usato l’ombretto crema opaco come base, le tre tonalità shimmer dalla più chiara alla più scura dall’angolo interno a quello esterno, i due marroni opachi mischiati insieme nell’angolo esterno e quello più chiaro nella piega per sfumare. Quindi è stato il momento del mascara Lancôme Grandiôse (ecco la mia recensione!), che anche se sta per finire continua ad essere un punto fermo della mia routine quotidiana perché non riesco a smettere di usarlo. Brow Wiz di Anastasia Beverly Hills sulle sopracciglia (la matita perfetta! Potete trovare le mie impressioni iniziali e confermate qui) e il makeup occhi è completo.

Il mio nuovo bronzer Jouer Mattifying Powder Bronzer mi ha già rubato il cuore: il colore è perfetto e la texture è meravigliosa! Mi piace anche molto la forma della confezione, visto che rende facile concentrare il prodotto dove si vuole anche usando un pennello piuttosto grande (potete scoprire di più sulla mia applicazione del bronzer in questo post). Il blush di oggi è uno dei miei preferiti, mi spingerei addirittura a dire che si tratta di uno dei miei tre top! È Figue Espiegle Lancôme, un rosa prugna che ha una texture semplicemente perfetta e il colore è perfetto. Per finire, una passata di Jean Queen Lipstick Queen, un altro acquisto recente che è già tra i miei preferiti essendo molto simile a Dior Addict Lip Glow, donando alle labbra un colore leggermente più scuro ma donando sempre molta idratazione. Decisamente un rossetto che fa per me!

Questa mattina mentre facevo le foto ho seriamente pensato che questo sarebbe stato un post con solo i prodotti e senza una foto del mio viso, visto che la giornata piovosa non facilitava di certo le cose, ma alla fine sono riuscita a fare una foto accettabile… Anche se il look sembra molto più naturale di quanto lo fosse dal vivo, visto che la definizione degli ombretti era davvero bella se posso dire la mia!

Per finire, ecco il profumo del giorno. In realtà l’ho indossato ogni giorno dall’inizio di ottobre, quindi forse dovrei definirlo il profumo del mese! Si tratta di YSL Black Opium, che con la sua unione di caffè e vaniglia mi ha fatta innamorare dal primo momento. Al punto da meritarsi un posto nei miei Preferiti di ottobre!

Quali sono i prodotti che amate di più indossare ultimamente? Spero vi sia piaciuta questa tipologia di post!

  10. Wow! You look so gorgeous, Gyudy- the makeup is so natural as the name of this post suggests. Great products here! I don't have anything from Jouer, but I think I should start with the bronzer you mentioned in this post. And, I think I really need the Dior 'Star' concealer ;) Great post!

  16. The Marc Jacobs palettes...should I? I don't know. Oh, I'm getting ahead of myself, you look stunning and yes, the eye look you created is off the chain! And I am so jealous I cannot get my hands on that Pupa Foundation. Again, the finish is amazing on you!
