Petal Pusher Challenge, Day 2: Whisper of Lilac


Hey all! It's Day 2 of the PPC, and I'm back with another look! Also, I can't figure out why my face looks so round in that picture. In all the angles I shot, my face looked really round. Maybe it's because of my hair. Anyway, moving on!

This look was me using this palette to do a look I'm looking forward to doing a lot this spring: subtle eye shadow, lots of lashes, and lots of blush! I was inspired by this photo in a promotion for Everyday Minerals:


The focus for her was blush, and I thought it was just gorgeous! It's more liberally applied than a lot of the gurus tell us to apply blush, and not so angular. It actually simulates more of a natural flush. I thought that thick lashes would add to the innocent look, and a subtle swipe of color would add something a little extra. I did a similar look this past Saturday with a light green shade and LOVED it. I thought lilac/lavender would be good, too. Pastels are usually associated with spring, anyway :)

The shadows I used in the look


Hey, it's another GIF! I can't help myself. I'm such a nerd.


And now for the step-by-step.


The moral of this tutorial is that I need a better camera for taking pictures! The color never shows up as vibrant as it really is :( Also, I forgot to mention it, but curl your lashes before applying mascara--it makes them even fuller looking!


So, do you get the feeling that this look was blush-heavy? Half those products are cheek-related. I had to keep adding blush, though, because it wasn't showing up in the picture. I eventually gave up. I still have to look semi-normal for my everyday things.

Well that wraps up Day 2! I hope you have a love day, and I'll talk to you tomorrow!
