FOTD: Color Blocked Makeup



Hello everyone! I have a quick Face of the Day for you. Today's challenge to myself was to create a makeup look using color blocking. Color blocking is where you use several different colors together. I tend to think of color blocking as being taking something back to the basics (not too complex) and using more primary colors. I thought I would take a spin off the retro look with the winged liner and bold lips with this look. I used blue to create my liner and two different toned lipsticks to create the lip look.

Outfit of the Day - Color Blocking

As most of you probably know, color blocking is huge for this season. Color blocking consists of pairing several colors together, while still keeping a cohesive look together. I recently bought these awesome green shorts that I thought would be perfect to do a color blocking outfit of the day with. When using green shorts to color block, be sure to stay away from a red top to avoid looking Christmas-y. Any other bright colors would compliment green shorts. I chose this coral cardigan and some  yellow flip flops to keep the look casual and relaxed.
 I hope you all enjoy this look! Be sure to follow me and comment below!
These earrings were sent to me from my lovely friend in New Mexico. They have a studded back and are pretty comfortable to wear. 

The cardigan and white tank are both from Forever21.
The shorts were thrifted from Plato's Closet. The owl necklace was also thrifted from there. 

The flip flops are from Old Navy. I absolutely love their flip flops.



I paired this look with a really soft face and a pop of yellow eyeshadow.
