Quick Snap: Simple Corporate – Purple and Gold

This is today’s work look- I was able to take a snap due to a two hour out-of-town train journey today. This look is quick, simple and highlights and emphasises, rather than being creative.

I applied Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in Golden and set it with Bobbi Brown loose powder in Pale Yellow (no time for corrector!)

I applied Bobbi Brown Illuminating Finish Powder Compact Foundation SPF15 in Golden 6 all over my face using my EcoTools powder brush. I put a little extra foundation on my nose and chin using the sponge.

I then applied MAC Paint Pot in Rubenesque to my eyelids all the way up to my eyebrows using my fingers (and somehow ended up with some under my eyes too!).  I lined the upper lashline with MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack using MAC brush 209. No flick, I just want to give the illusion of thicker lashes. I followed with two coats of Maybelline the Colossal Volum’ Express mascara Cat Eyes on my top lashes and one coat on the bottom. I lined the lower waterline with Lancome Le Crayon Khôl in 025 Pure Gold.  I refined my brows using my short and stiff bristled angled brush and Bobbi Brown eyeshadow in Mahogany 10.

I finished with Clinique blusher in 115 Smouldering Plum applied with my No7 blusher brush and one coat of Yves Saint Laurent Rouge pur Couture Vernis à Levres in 107 on my lips.

This is what I call my full face work look. As a glasses wearer, I don’t normally pay so much attention to my eyes. The thick frames are a good enough feature for me!

Unfortunately the following are no longer available:

• Le Crayon Khôl in 025 Pure Gold – I believe this was limited edition.
