LOOK: Summer to Fall Makeup

Yesterday, Los Angeles hit a 113-115 degrees and it was the hottest day ever recorded in the history of L.A.  OMG, my skin felt like it was literally burning under the hot sun, I was sweating like crazy, the metal buckle on my purse was burning my arm and, I felt like I was dying. I've never killed so many water bottles in one day. At one point, I  didn't even want to leave to work where the a.c. was full blast lol

I don't know what's up with this weird weather but I hope this heat goes away soon and I am so ready for fall. With that being said, here is a makeup look combining burnt orange, shimmery burgundy and dark plum eyes with peach lips, colors that represents the transition from Summer to Fall. There is no video tutorial since it was too hot to film but I still hope you guys like it.

EOTN Smokey Browns and Burgundy eyes.

I've been slacking on posting makeup looks. It's been so hot over in L.A. and I just didn't feel like putting anything my face...just moisturizer with SPF and my MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural  in Medium Deep and I'm out the door! But today I had some free time so I was able to play with makeup and came up with...

Smokey Browns and Burgundy eyes

I used e/s Sketch by MAC all over the lids. Its burgundy with red shimmer. It's my very first MAC eye shadow ^_^.

I also used the browns and red in my 120 Manly palette. I applied the lighter brown above the crease for a soft definition on the eyes and brown on the crease to create a smokey effect.

I applied the red e/s wet on the lids as my base. This helps to bring out the red undertone of the sketch (burgundy).
