Easy Weekend Neutrals Using MAC Blonde's Gold Pigment and Coastal Scents 88 Warm Palette

I used my MAC Blonde's Gold pigment for this light, easy neutral look last Sunday. Blonde's Gold is one of my favorite MAC pigments, even though I felt I was shortchanged when I received my brand-new pigment (see pic above). Nonetheless, this pigment is gorgeous and if you love golds and neutrals, you will enjoy using this again and again.



I used my 88 Warm palette's deeper colors on the crease and outer V. Please see the photo above for the particular colors used in the step-by-step illustration below.



I was glad I was able to snag this Urban Decay liquid liner in Smog for only $8 at Sephora (originally $18). It's a metallic deep green olive that is the new neutral liner for me. Brown and black are kinda boring, so this lovely color is my new neutral eye staple.



I used Joppa mineral foundation for this look in the full coverage formula. I love this brand of mineral makeup as it really looks very smooth and flawless on the skin, and the kaolin clay properties help heal blemishes and breakouts. I wasn't able to wash my face before I went to bed, but instead of creating more blemishes, my mineral foundation helped heal existing ones and even diminished my zits in size.
