Love the colors!

 

[AudreyNicole]

You always look AWESOME! I wish I was brave enough to try the bright colors (really I don't know what I am so afraid of!) They look so beautiful on you!! Another great FOTD!

 

[justanotherinternetgirl]

Beautiful I love it !!

Great job on the blending.

 

[Sushi_Flower]

Wow for both! Amazing contrast between the 2 FOTDs, love the colour of the first one but love the 2nd one too as it shows off your natural beauty and it's so simple and elegant with a punch of lip colour.

 

[ruby_soho]

Looks amazing per usual! I love how you can always do such a strong lip and eye together, I have yet to master that combination.

 

[user3]

I love that 2nd lip combo!

*jealous of your blush technique*

 

[Dreamergirl3]

Jeeze, you look just as gorgeous with less makeup! Both FOTDs are lovely...*jealous*

I love your bright FOTD's (natural looks pretty too), I would love to learn application techniques from you.
How do you find Strobe Cream? Is it greasy at all does it break you out?
I've tried it in store but only on the back of my hand.

Strobe cream is one of my favorite things to use on every skin type. It's a moisturizer but also has anti-oxidants in it along with a pearl pigment so it gives your skin a nice "glow". It's like Hyper Real foundation, minus the foundation aspect. But in a way, it is like a foundation in the sense that it has numerous botanical extracts that brighten up and improve the skin tone and clarity. Also, the various vitamins in it help to encourage cellular activity and rejuvinate the skin.

Even on people with "oily" skin, dusting studio fix or blot over the skin lightly will set it so you're not oily but you can still see the pearlized effect.

I love the second, natural look. That is really nice. It's so soft and understated.

Flawless Risa...
I notice you use the 224 a lot for your crease. I have a really hard time getting a controlled application out of this brush, and since it's so soft it's hard to saturate the color... any tips?? The MA at my local counter told me to close my eye, put the brush in the crease, open the eye, and brush back and forth in a wiper motion... but I just make a mess & the color looks splotchy.

very pretty!!
