Gala Look Breakdown
/Keeping with the build up around readying myself for last week's gala, (I'll use any excuse to get gussied up) here is a list of all of the products I used in order to get prettified. This is me sans a full face of makeup:
Don't you just love my top from SABA? It's now on sale, boo no price adjustments; obvs, I didn't pay full price either. Back to what I wore on my face…
Face:
- Bobbi Brown's Skin Foundation SPF 15 in Warm Sand 2.5 - applied where needed
- MAC's Mineralize Skin Finish Natural in Medium - dusted all over
- Bobbi Brown's Concealer Kit in Sand and Pale Yellow - for under eye circles
- Burberry's Natural Bronzer in Nude Glow No. 3 - dusted over my forehead, cheeks and nose
- NARS' The Multiple in Copacabana - on cheekbones
- MAC's Powder Blush in Mighty Aphrodite from the Wonder Woman release - on cheeks
Eyes:

Lips:
- ChapStick in Strawberry
- NARS' Lipstick in Damage - I purchased this shade after reading this review by Christine
A lot of makeup went into creating what I think are dramatic eyes for me. The only thing I didn't like was how you could tell my lashes were fake when viewed from above. It was my first foray into wearing false lashes; I'm sure wearing liquid eyeliner would've covered it right up, but I wasn't brave enough to try it out.
Thoughts?
Too much makeup or not enough?
