May has finally started to rear it’s warm-weather-head here in Georgia, and it is about time! The final change in this roller coaster weather we’ve had here in the south has inspired me to lighten up my makeup color palette…I’m going LOCO for LILACS!
{Revlon PhotoReady Primer + Shadow in Watercolors #520}
{L’Oreal Infallible lipgloss in “Posy” + Nars blush in “Mata Hari”}
{Vivian decided to photo bomb my product shots!}
Eyes : Revlon PhotoReady palette in “Watercolors,” $7.50. Shades of purple on the eyes are typically very flattering for all faces and skin tones. I love this Revlon mosaic because it has so many options of shades of lilac. I blended all 5 of the shades offered, I couldn’t help myself. I didn’t use an actual eye liner, and just lined my eyes along the upper and lower lash lines with the darkest purple in the palette by wetting my brush first.
Cheeks : Nars “Mata Hari” blush, $29. I chose this Nars blush because even though it’s a pink, it has a slight plum-ish undertone. Makes the lilac palette on my face feel more cohesive having all of the main colors to be in the purple family.
Lips : L’Oreal Infallible Never Fail Gloss in “Posy,” $8. The lip gloss also follows suit with an ever so slight lilac base to it’s light pink shimmer. No lipstick or liner to keep my look fresh and not looking too fussy…since I’m fussy enough by having a complete lilac face!!
Clothing and accessory wise, when it comes to lilac shades, it can borderline sicky-sweet and look a little toddler-ish. But if I wanted to toughen up this girly shade, I’d wear a vneck tee like this one from Splendid (love love their tees!) or carry around a seriously dreamy bag like this Rebecca Minkoff Cupid one (if I had the extra cash flow that is – Mother’s Day gift anyone?!!)….
Splendid Very Light tee in “Icy Lilac,” $52
Rebecca Minkoff Cupid bag in Lilac, $495
Will you add more lilac shades into your makeup life this spring and summer??
