FOTD - Sweet and Sassy (with YSL Rouge Volupte Frivolous Pink)

This week was very hectic for me, and I feel almost proud having followed it through.
(You would think that working as a freelancer makes you the owner of your own time, but you often find yourself being a slave instead.)
I even cancelled the dinner reservation today and decided to turn in early cause I am feeling a little wobbly.
Still, I wanted to share a quick FOTD with you. It is Friday after all! :)
This is a look I tried a couple days ago wearing Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupe Frivolous Pink.
I did not include an overall look in my previous swatch post, so this would make it up. ;)


Sweet & Sassy
(or so I think...)


My hair looks a little crazy in this picture.
I remember I spent too much time doing the eye makeup so I did not have that usual two minutes I need to blow dry my hair.
Normally I try to take at least ten pictures then pick a few that are decent (and this is necessary, trust me.), but I just pointed and shot a couple times and rushed out for work.
I was surprised that I still liked this hurried photo.  Maybe it is because for some reason I look a little mischievous in it. ;)

Since the lip color is very pale and sweet, I wanted to do a strong catty eyes so the whole look would be balanced out.

This is the makeup products I used.


[Face] 
Skin Ceramic BB cream No.1 (sample; It was pretty nice). I did not set it with powder this time.

[Eyes] 
I darkened my folds with L'Oreal Voluminous Smoldering eyeliner (I think I do this almost everyday!), used the NARS Night Porter shade to give more depth and shimmer over the folds, and blended the whole thing with Lancome Erika F
The lower water lines were lined with stila Kajal liner in Smoky Quartz color.
Finally, L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lash mascara was used for the lashes.

[Cheeks] 
jane blushing cheeks Blushing Orchid Shimmer (I love love this color!)

[Lips] 
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Frivolous Pink

(Ah, the ebony pencil is missing in the picture. I used it to fill in my brows.)


This is pretty much my go-to makeup look although I did put more time and efforts in the eye makeup.

I hope you have enjoyed this look.
(My guitar partner has been bugging me to put my pictures on YouTube, so I added this picture on one of our music videos as a cover. If this doesn't boost up the views, he is a dead man. ;p)


Do you have a signature makeup look that you always go for?
Where do you emphasize, the eyes or the lips? :)


Wish everyone a happy & healthy weekend.
