FOTD Breakdown


So I posted my 5 minute FOTD today and I waited for someone, just anyone to ask for a break down!:P
And I almost had to force Shrutilaya to ask me for this cause I so wanted to. Subtle hints don't work on you guys?! hmph.

Okay so I love the look cause its simple, looks polished and takes less than 5 minutes, i.e. if you can line your eyes fastttt.
Oh and cause I wore it when I took my folks out to dinner!:D I mentioned it didn't I ??:D :P

Look under question-



Products used-

excuse the stain. :| This used to be my study desk once:P

Face-
MAC Studio Finish concealer
MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural (I use The Body Shop Kabuki brush for this)
MAC Fleur Power Blush (I use The Body Shop Blush Brush for this)

Eyes-
MAC Rubenesque Paintpot
MAC Siahi Fluidline (I use the Maybelline Gel Liner brush for this)
MaxFactor Mascara




Lips-
MAC Crosswires Lipstick (Cremesheen)
MAC Exxxhibitionist Kissable Lipcolour (Peacocky Collection)




I had less than 5 minutes to dress up and this is what I did. I was surprised what a little tweaking could do to my makeup routine.
I don't wear eyeshadows when I go out generally.. In fact, I am just starting to wear something on my eyelids, other than eyeliner. And it takes some time to do it properly. If you dont have time, Don't bother cause its going to mess up in a hurry and and the whole redoing process takes forever.


  • So I washed my face and toned, moisturized.
  • Next I concealed my dark circles. My new concealer is pretty awesome. I'll review it in a day or 2.
  • I applied the Rubenesque paintpot all over my lid with my finger. You have to be swift, cause it sets otherwise. So its done in a jiffy!
  • I lined mt eye with MAC Fluidline in Siahi.
  • Then I just set my concealer and buffed some MSF Natural into my face.
  • I applied MAC Crosswires and topped it with the Kissable Lipcolour in Exxxhibitionist just in the center of my lips.

  3. LOVE IT!!! Fleur power is looking so pretty on you! And like I already said, coral lips really suit you!

    I'm thinking of getting the TBS kabuki..is it good? will it too dense for blush? I have the TBS blush brush but I don't like it so much. Its so flat! I want something round for blush. And hows the studio fix concealer? does it give better coverage than moisture cover?

  4. :D thank you!!:*

    I'll review both these for you okay? like tomorrow and the day after. Okay? TBS Kabuki is awesome. I've had it for mire than an year and use it everyday. it is brilliant! Oh I don't like their blush brush either. But it works for Fleur Power cause this blush is very soft. Softer than the rest of my MAC Ones.strange. :| Oh and this concealer gives way better coverage than Select MoistureCover. :)

  5. Ok. Thanks! Have you tried the kabuki for blush? I'm guessing it'll be too dense for blush.
