Pick Up A Trend : Red Nude

Hello dear beauty friends,

Moi, the LocoLola
Crinkle Shawl by Shreedha Fadhreen Collection

I have to admit, ever since I donned the hijab. I try my best not to wear over the top (OTT) makeup. In Islam, aurath (Aurat) is not only about covering parts of your body but also to up dress and carry yourself modestly. And OTT makeup is a big No-No in being modest. :)

Get this look:-

Face
Laura Mercier Foundation with SPF15
Estee Lauder Cyberwhite Loose Powder with SPF15

Eyes
MAC Expensive Pink - all over lid
MAC Woodwinked - Outer V-corner
MAC Satin Taupe - Inner V-corner
MAC Naked Lunch - beneath brows
Elianto Charocoal Black crayon eyeliner
Maybelline Brow Liner in Dark Brown

Cheeks
MAC Mineralise Blusher in Rhapsody 2 (my all time favourite blusher & highlighter)

Lips
Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Fuschia (not in the picture. I only put it on when I was to about to go out)

I had to go a bit nude cause the outfit I was wearing for the day was quite intense. Especially the red & black shawl. Here's what I wore...

Pickup A Trend: Au Naturalle

Aloha!

In the spirit of embracing summer, the sun and the beach...I did this quick and simple do for those who want to get the effortless natural look.

Remember, a sun-kissed Goddess should not be OTT (over the top). Try to keep the makeup natural and neutral. So, more emphasis is given on the coral lips. :)

Pickup A Trend: Smoky + Nude Lips

Initially, my plan was to explain how to get the 'perfect' Nude lips...
When I did my research, it occur to me that I may as well cover the overall look for nude lips.

So, here goes nothing...
