Brownish Pink Monochromatic Look




Hey dolls,

I recently had a chance to participate at the Cosmo Beauty Expo held at Coex Mall Seoul, South Korea. I came home with several makeup and samples, which I haven't yet seen in any Korean cosmetic stores. So, it was very exciting for me to try out new things. 

Among the things I got from the event were 3 shades of eyeshadow pigments, 3 shades of lipnicure, 1 lip gloss, nail masks, foot mask, face mask and a bottle of organic guava juice (yummy!).


Here are the swatches of the three eyeshadow pigments (01 penny, 10 dorosi, and 13 carol) and the three lipnicure (pink brown, chiffon coral, and brick red). 

Being the makeup junkie that I am, I couldn't wait to try out the new makeup I got and so I created this monochromatic look from one of the eyeshadow pigments and a lipnicure I got, which coincidentally match so well. They both have a brownish pink shade, which almost look like "marsala" (the color of the year). 

Below is the complete list of products I used to create this look:

Face:
  • Nars Sheer Glow Foundation (Fiji)
  • Missha Undereye Brightener(Light Beige)
  • Too Faced Chocolate Soleil - for subtle contouring
  • Mac Bao Bao Wan Beauty Powder - for highlighting
  • Essence Silky Touch Blush (Natural Beauty)
Eyes:
  • Essence I love Stage Eyeshadow Base
  • Look At Me Cosmetics Fairy Dust Eyeshadow Pigment (13 Carol) - applied all over my lid
  • Etude House Give Me Chocolate Shadow in Cherry Truffle - I only used the coral color as a transition color on top of my crease
  • Benefit Roller Lash Mascara
  • Etude House Play 101 Pencil (number 7) - waterline nude eyeliner
Lips:
  • Rire Lipnicure (Pink Brown)
I feel like this color suits well on Southeast Asian Skin Tone. If you have a morena/naturally tan skin like I do, I certainly recommend this shade of lippie and eyeshadow color. It is bold enough to be seen but not so over powering and it still comes out natural. 

What do you guys think about this shade? What makeup colors are you into these days?

Keep Dolling Up,
Gelie (Jelai) xoxo
