It's my week-long Christmas break from work and I thought I'd get round to doing those Before-&-After shots of the Silk Naturals foundation. While I was at it, I went ahead and layered on some Oil Control Blur Finishing Powder. And then I decided to go the whole mile and finish my face.
All photos taken under natural 11am light with no flash. The background is dark because I was standing at my window with my face toward the sun.
Here's me with just a freshly washed and moisturized face.
Now here's me with...
* Foundation - 1 scoop Warm Gold : 1 scoop Ebony : 5 scoop Heavy Ivory
* Oil Control Blur Finishing Powder
* Climax Blush
* Aria Black Label Lippie
* Dolce as a liner on lower lid
Its not a very dramatic difference, but I think I look more awake and alive. More importantly, I did it all in less than 8 minutes. Yes, I used my stop watch and timed myself in-between photo takes.
And here's another photo of me 2 hours later. After a short walk to lunch with J. I'm quite impressed with the staying power of the Aria lippie. It's definitely faded somewhat while I ate, but my lips still retained that pinkish tinge, counteracting my pale-like-death-when-bare lips.
