Hey there Beautiful people! Hope everyone is up for another week. There's been so many things going on lately and so many unexpected turns making it's way from wherever side of the world. And in as much as I am tempted to say "the sun still shines" it doesn't either. Been raining and raining and raining from this side of the world ( that was on the weekend, it rained non-stop)...but the sun did come out a little bit today. Well, after all that too much sun, it feels good to finally embrace the cold summer rain. Well, in spite of the pouring rain and the lethargy it brings, hubsy and the mwah decided to put our rain boots on and frolic in the rain to our weekend brunch date. We have been really, really busy the past few days but we make sure that we don't skip date nights, movie dates, and even for a short brunch... rain or shine. So, as usual I got to share my Brunch Date Makeup. I decided to play with too much color this time since it's really been very gloomy so I thought wearing a bit of sunshine will help lighten the mood...somehow.
On my face, I used my usual favorite....
L'Oreal Base Magique Base
Soft Touch Mouse in 04 matt ivory by Essence
The product doesn't have any SPF in it so I thought it can work on a rainy day. However, I am not really waving my pompoms for it. The consistency of the product is a 100% likeness to the Dream Mousse by Maybelline but there is a significant difference when it comes to how they work. I can't really explain how it happens but the product seemed to settle on the creases of your face emphasizing the lines that you so wanted to conceal. Unlike the Dream Mousse which glides smoothly over the skin, this one tends to settle on the lines and the pores making it appear more although I did use a very good base for this one. And usually I just have to use my hands...again, clean hands when applying the mousse, but for this one I have to use a sponge which is to really eliminate most of the products since again, it has made it's way to may "baby wrinkles". Well, using a small amount of foundation powder over it did the trick. But make sure you don't pack on too much foundation powder either or it will make the face appear very "done." For a Sunday brunch you want a light and natural effect and since it's been raining I don't want too much foundation dripping off my face in case we get soaked.
Then I used the the Whitening BB foundation powder SPF 20 in natural to set the mousse foundation
