Skin Tone/Coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, dark hair with silver
Favorite Look Worn: I’ve used my new LORAC Pro Palette 4 over the past few days and I like all the different looks I’ve come up with. This palette will definitely be a workhorse for me. Here’s a look that I will use a lot for work: Brûlée in the crease (when used over primer, it looks darker than it does in the palette), Iced Rose on lid, Pecan in outer V, and Chantilly on brow bone; plus Marc Jacobs Highliner in (Brown)ie in upper lash line; Lancôme Teint Idole in Ivoire N 100; Dermablend Loose Setting Powder; Clinique Blushing Blush in Cupid; and MAC Amplified Lipstick in Craving. Plus my everyday usuals: Clinique Brow Shaper, ABH Brow Wiz, Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara, and Tarte Shape Tape Concealer.
Most Used Products: Other than my everyday usuals, my most used are the new LORAC palette and Lancôme Teint Idole in Ivoire N 100, which looks beautiful and lasts all day, but after using this foundation three days in a row, my face is suddenly breaking out. I don’t know if it’s the foundation or maybe just stress. I hope it’s not the foundation because I really, really like it.
New Beauty Discoveries: I am in love with the LORAC Pro Palette 4. I’m able to do so many different looks with it. I prefer the shades on the left half of the palette and find these shades to be easy to blend and nicely pigmented. It’s important to note that I use them directly over NYX Proof It Waterproof Eyeshadow Primer, rather than the primer that came with the palette. Also, I want to make a quick mention of the lovely, descriptive shade names in this palette.
When I said left half of the palette that wasn’t quite true, because I also love the shades Warm Ginger and Candlelight, which are technically in the right half. Just wanted to clarify.
That link for the favorites isn’t working for me so I can’t see it ?♀️
Fixed!

Most used product of the week: MAC Blush in Pink Cult; liquid lipsticks (it’s been in the 90s F here all most of the week).
Any new beauty discoveries: I’m really in love with MAC x Aaliyah Street Thing Lipstick. It’s a perfect sheer summer glitter-goth kind of shade.
My skin tone/coloring: fair, cool
Favorite look you wore: I’ve been keeping it simple as it’s been very hot here and I’ve been going to the gym a lot – sunscreen, concealer (IT BBU but the one in the double ended doe foot tube – it’s got a creamier, more “liquid-y” texture than the one in the squeeze tube); Stila Bubbly on my lids and MAC Cork in the crease; Sephora Cappuccino liner, IT CC Radiance Blush and MAC Craving lipstick (trying to finish a tube so I can B2M
Most used product of the week: IT CC Radiance blush and Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer (which amazes me)
Any new beauty discoveries: just how much I love the shadow Salt from the new-ish UD Beached palette.
MAC Craving was in my favorite look this week, too! I love this shade.

Favorite look you worn (note: this has been a hectic week and I’ve recreated this one from memory as best I can): Thursday-Urban Decay Gonzo and Fringe layered, Sephora V for Volume Turquoise League mascara, NARS Satellite of Love highlighting blush, Sephora Lipstories Hong Kong by Night lipstick
Most used product of the week: My usual base products.

Forgot to add my beauty discovery-turquoise eye makeup and red lipstick look great together, especially when the lipstick’s metallic!
