Today, I have a look that’s wearable for dinner and parties featuring colours from the Laura Mercier Lingerie Eye & Cheek Palette (reviewed here) and the new Dior Addict Lipstick (reviewed here). Super easy and quick to achieve.
For face: Prepped my skin with the Guerlain Météorites Perles Light-Diffusing Perfecting Primer and added a layer of Clarins Extra Firming Foundation to even out my skin tone. Set my foundation with Clarins Hydra-Luminous Flawless Powder Foundation.
For eyes: I applied some Illamasqua Cream Eyeshadow in Command as a base and went in with African Violet all over my lids – stop just below the crease and blend. Instead of using a black eyeliner for this look, I went for NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear Eyeliner in Madison Avenue – a beautiful neutral grey. Lined my eyes and soften the edges with Black Plum.
Apply Pale Pink under the brow bones and blend together with the eyeshadows to soften the edges. Apply African Violet along the lower lash line – depending on the shape of your eyes, you may want to apply African Violet to the outer 2/3 of your lash line instead.
Finish the eyes with some mascara and false eyelashes.
For cheeks & lips: I sculpted my cheek bones with the bronzer from Guerlain Terracotta La Sélection de L’été Makeup Palette (reviewed here) and added a pop of pink with Rose Desire from the Laura Mercier Lingerie Eye & Cheek Palette. I kept the lips simple with only Dior Addict Extreme in 486 Cruise.
Thank you for looking.

How does the Guerlain primer work on your face? I’ve been curious for a while now…
Hi Lily,
It’s cooling upon application, light gel-like texture helped keep shine at bay but I still have to blot every few hours due to the humid weather..
This primer also adds a subtle luminosity to my complexion without being too overwhelming..
Hope this helps xx
hey babe! what contact lens are you using?
Hi Eunice,
