Soft Neutral Makeup look with 88 Cool Shimmer Palette BH Cosmetics

This is a toned down look for me. No black cat liner, no false lashes and almost devoid of colour. Why? The hubby had a work BBQ last Saturday. I didn't want to look like a Drag Queen and with the weather being in the 80's, I wanted to be more comfortable. So I opted for more natural looking makeup that wouldn't melt off my face. :-)

Why do I look naked? Am I wearing a tube top? I'm naked! Ha! Took these pictures after the BBQ and being sweaty for 5 hours, I just wanted the clothes OFF.  I finally fixed my roots as you can see. :-)

    Your makeup stayed perfect even after the 80 degree weather! Amazing. I am jealous.

    Naked pictures! Escandalo! (Except it's so hot out here that I change into as little clothes as possible as soon as we get home from work, so....yeah. No judgment here.) Gorgeous neutral look!

    It's a really soft and lovely look. Is there any kind of makeup look that doesn't suit you? ;)

    Very pretty! I like that this is subtle for a makeup blogger, but probably still pretty dramatic for a 'normal' woman. It's weird to think how blogging about makeup (ie. making it an important component of one's daily ritual stuffs) changes perception---it has for me, at least. Can you tell that I've been drinking? I have. You are just so cute.

    Love the soft look! I'm surprised that is an Avon lipstick! I really like that color!
