The Olympics are officially over, *sigh.* I actually enjoyed these summer games more than in years past and I think it was because of the combination of the gorgeous location (I’m dying to visit London), the outfits (mainly gymnastics and rhythmic gymnastics), and the venues just get bigger and more elaborate each year! Since I have zero chance of ever entering the Olympics as an athlete, I figured I would get my own GOLD through my makeup routine. Gold is luckily a universally flattering eye shadow color that brings out the best in blue, green, hazel, grey, and even brown eyes!
{Gold on eyes, highlighter on cheeks, and we went 3rd place (bronze!) for lips.}
{Kept it very simple with full on gold shimmer eyes.}
{Main shadows used from L to R : MAC “woodwinked”and Bare Minerals Glimmer in “true gold.”}
{Apply “woodwinked” from lash line to crease and…}
{..apply same shade along lower lash line, focusing on outer corners.}
{Dab a small amount of “true gold” loose shimmer right in center of lid for a pop!}
{Overall look with two coats of black mascara.}
{Cheeks and lips : Too Faced Pink Leopard bronzer & L’Oreal Infallible gloss in Dulce De Leche}
{Metallic gold makes me happy!!}
{Went more bronze w lips by adding Palladio Herbal lip liner in “salmon” underneath
gold shimmer gloss.}
Going gold and shimmery can be very wearable as long as you keep the rest of the face very low key. Even though I enjoyed watching the sporting events, my absolute favorite moment of the games had to be the bringing back together of the Spice Girls at the closing ceremonies!! Those women have ALL gotten better with age and looked absolutely stunning. Hey, there was some athletic ability in staying upright while singing on moving cars right?!! Ha!!
Did you watch the Olympics this go around? What was your favorite moment?
