Oh, I’ve done it again… I had so much fun with GlamST virtual looks that I’ve continued creating new ones and getting them real!
Today is the second round and the make-up look I’m going to show you features navy blue and lavender eyes with plum glossy lips.
Not so surpriseling, I virtually made use of few products, while at home I used loads, especially primers and eyeshadows.
I’ve done this look twice: the first time before my archaeology digs in the outdoors when I was freaking pale, the second time recently.
In my opinion I look way, way healthier with my tan and new freckles; I let you judge.

I started in with a well hydrated face: I applied the Avon Solutions Truly Radiant day cream all over my face and neck, the Anew Vitale gel eye cream and my Yamavì green tea natural lip balm and I waited 15 minutes before putting my make-up on.
I created a smooth base with the Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser and the Instant Fatigue Blur in Cool Rose, then I applied my eye make-up first because I foresaw loads of fall outs.
As eye primer, I used the essence I love stage, it isn’t my favourite kind of primer but it works if one doesn’t let it dry on the lids, then I applied, blended and softened my eyeshadows as quickly as I could:
in the inner corners I put with a sponge applicator the lighter grey from this old Avon True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Smokey Eyes (replaced by Urban Skyline); at the center of my lids I mixed three different shades with my fingers (pink, violet and pale lilac from the Pupa Beauty Bijou compact) in order to get a nice lavender, the result was a metallic and changing tone; on the outer Vs I applied an intense navy blue and I darkened it more with the Sigma E25 blending brush and a dark grey eyeshadow.
All the shades have been faded together with my fingers for a soft chromatic transition, while on the lash lines I traced a subtle grey line.
I wiped out the residues under the eye area and I continue with the face base.
As liquid foundation, I applied the Avon Smooth Minerals in Natural Beige, gently borrowed from my sister’s stash, and the Anew age transforming eye concealer in Medium and I lightly set everything with a medium toned face compact powder.
I filled in my eyebrows with the Avon Perfect Eyebrow Kit in Soft Brown and the Zoeva 322 Brow Line, I curled my lashes and applied Maybelline The Colossal Go Extreme mascara, at the end I traced a new dark grey line on the outer lower lash line.
I finished the face make-up with a bronzing powder (temples, jaw line and under the cheek-bones), by using the Zoeva 105 Luxe Highlight brush, and a plum blush, I added some light points with the Avon Color Trend Pencil Play white eyeliner (cupid bow, cheek-bones and bridge of the nose) set it with a lighter face powder and applied a plum lip gloss.
The one I used is an old limited edition Avon Glazewear lip gloss, it’s a bit darkr than the actual Rich Raspberry.

When I’ve created this look for the first time I used both the Avon Ideal Flawless BB cream in Shell and the Smooth Minerals foundation, the last one where I wanted to sculpt my cheeks; I filled my brows with the darkest brown eyeshadow from the Mocha Latte Avon palette instead.
I also wore some earrings which are absolutely particular and are a Chen’s creation from her Alma Belle shop.
She’s an awesome jewel designer!

Now, probably you aren’t wondering why this look has this fancy name, so click play and enjoy some great music.
This was Ray Charles and this post was named after his “Night time is the right time”.
Enjoy it!
