Later on this afternoon we're headed to a BBQ for Canada Day. The weather is confused because its raining one minute then the sun is out the next. My hair of course, is having a bad reaction to the weather and its deciding to frizz like crazy. I've managed to tame it a little and pull it into a side ponytail. I'm realizing that in summer time there is no point fighting with frizz but rather work with it. Its a good thing that I've discovered Moroccan Oil and I'm thrilled that big, unruly hair is in vogue this year, this means I'll fit right in.
I've decided to wear half lashes for my look today and I wanted to keep the focus on my eyes and cheeks. I often wear half lashes during the day because it gives you the effect you want but doesn't look ridiculous. In case you're wondering I'm wearing a boat neck Versace inspired top that I got as a gift recently from my sister who brought it back from Miami. The necklace is from Tiffany's and its part of the Elsa Peretti collection. Her and Frank Gehry are my favorite designers at Tiffany's. This is one of four pieces I received from Tiffany's this year for my birthday. The earrings I picked up on one of my travels, they are sterling silver and I wear them often. I don't remember where I got them from.
What's on face:
Foundation: Natural FX by Cover FX, Water Based Foundation in shade M40 and MAC's Blot Powder in Medium on the t-zone area.
Concealer: MAC Moistureblend Concealer in NW20
Blush: MAC Lilicent Cream Blush applied lightly on cheek area and Jane Be Pure Mineral Blush in 01 Soft Mink applied to the apples of the cheek only
Eyes: MAC Painterly Paint Pot all over lid area, MAC Amazon Eyes Quad (ltd) edition. Basically I used the peach/pink Colour outer third and then brown color in the outer crease area. I used the lighted color as brow bone highlighter and on my cupids bow. Ardell False Lashes #301 in Black (half lashes). Eyebrows are filled in with MAC's Brow Pencil in Lingering
Lips: Lined lightly with MAC's Brow Pencil in Lingering & Beurre Cremestick Lipliner and dabbed on with my fingertips Annabelle Le Gloss in Nectar Lust.

I love the Cover Fx foundations. They were the only foundations that I was able to use when my skin too a turn for the worse and broke out in massive cystic acne.
Btw, I love this look on you.

@Lipstick on the cup.... Thank you :) xxN
oh perfect!! That's an everyday look I always try to do but then I make it into a dramatic look by accident. Wish I had your skill! (And earrings, haha!)
Hope you had a wonderful day. Are you in the french speaking bit of Canada by the way? I've been to Quebec and Halifax... trying to picture where you fit in! xx
@Gail, Thank you Gail. Half lashes are always acceptable during the day just have to be very simple with the eye makeup. I live in Ontario, the which is an english speaking province for the most part. However, all the provinces offer gov't services in french and in schools. Come and visit me please!!! xxNadia
You always look so glam and pretty :-)
Happy belated Canada day to you.
