FOTD : Wicked Broadway Musical in Manila

Hi there! I know I have in a way promised to post FOTD as part of my makeup quest, but then, due to hectic sched (or at least a valid reason), its taking me forever to post one. Glad that last Saturday, because my boyfriend and I were scheduled to watch the Wicked Broadway Musical in Manila, I got a valid reason to doll up a little and finally got a chance to play on my beauty arsenal.

And so without further ado, presenting the culprits behind my “Wicked” look:

• Face Primer: Sephora Smoothing Primer

• Foundation: MAC Studio Fix Fluid- SPF 15 (Shade: NC30)

• Powder Foundation: MAC Studio Fix (Shade: NC30)

• Concealer: Maybelline Liquid Concealer

• Blush: MAC Blush Coral Peach

• Eye Primer: Urban Decay Primer Potion

• Eye Shadow: Urban Decay Naked Palette

• Lipstick: MAC Cosmo  (Amplified Crème)

• Eyeliner: Revlon Liquid Eyeliner

• Brush: SIGMA Make Me Classy Brushes

MAC Amplified Creme Cosmo Lipstick -- A First Safe Try.

Believe it or not, I rarely wear lipstick. I usually go for a lip balm or a lip gloss for everyday use.

But then, since I wanted to take my beauty-slash-makeup know-how up a higher notch, which actually started when a fairy makeup artist, in the name of Ten Franco wave her magic wand, sprinkle her fairy dust and eventually transformed me to a different person (as what they say), I decided to start off wandering on a beauty product that can easily transform a person by wearing nothing but that. Apparently, it is no other than a lipstick.   

Yes, a lipstick is considered a staple for every lady’s makeup arsenal, yet used to be not for me.

Since it’s going to be my first try, I have thought and researched carefully on what brand and what shade. It has to be a good brand, and a safe shade -- good enough for my 12-hour work, safe enough to maintain both a corporate and casual chic look.    

And I so ended up with MAC Amplified Creme Cosmo Lipstick.
