A Summery Cheeks and Lips FOTD with MAC To the Beach
Summer makeup is coming out to play, are you going to join in on the fun? If you haven’t already, take a look at the MAC To the Beach collection for an inspirational insight into what’s coming your way this season.
Bronze skin, coral cheeks, and bright lips are some of the trends I spy already, so that’s what today’s look is going to be all about.
Calling the MAC High-Light Powder in Marine Life ($26 US) a highlighter shames this little seahorse, it’s simply too bold and pigmented! Behind the mesmerizing gold overspray is a stunning coral that you can utilize as a highlighter or blush.
Intimidating in the pan only, the reddish coral part blends out seamlessly and the baby pink section keeps things fresh. In this specific look, I used Marine Life to warm up the cool undertones of the lipstick.
To add a refined touch, compliment your glowing cheeks with lovely pink lips. The MAC Lipstick in Lazy Day ($14 US) is a gorgeous milky, lavender pink that’s actually wearable on a variety of skin tones, not just lighter ones.
The moisturizing lustre finish glides onto the lips effortlessly, but manages to stay put for a good 4 hours at the least. Even though you can go for retro mod lips, the buildable coverage ensures that a sheerer application looks just as great.
Since the focus of this FOTD is concentrated in the cheeks and lips, the eyes are very subtle. I simply applied Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow/Liner in R.S.V.P. ($19 US) over the eyelid and onto the lower lash line as a liner.
I’m in love with the eye brightening effect I get from this shimmery champagne color!

I really only felt compelled to pick up Sweet n’ Punchy, but I like it a lot.

Hi Phyrra,
Thanks.
Wow, Sweet & Punchy is a really bold color! I’m curious, but how are you working the chartreuse eyeshadow?

I used it in a green look recently on the inner 1/3 of the lid.

Hi Phyrra,
I’m in love with your Green Look for Ana! Sweet & Punchy really brightens up your inner corners and just pops with all that green eyeshadow you’ve got going on.
That nude lip combo looks fantastic on you, by the way!

Hi knownever!
I’ve been wearing Lazy Day a lot recently. It’s the perfect shade of lavender, almost-bubblegum pink.
Funny enough, Lazy Day is just right for lazy days since it just brightens my look without any effort when I don’t want to fuss with much eye makeup!
