I am loving the color of that fabulous beanie, and also that gorgeous snowflake pendent! Your look is classically low-key natural, fresh-faced perfection! Your eyes are beautifully defined, your skin is glowing, and even nude, your lip color is sassy and cute! You look as stunning as ever! 🙂

[Cupcakecandy]

That first picture is jaw dropping! Your face is just glowing, and I love the contrasting scarf and hat! You're a very talented knitter, and I love the color of that hat.

Natural beauty!

I am wearing exactly 3 things today.  Because a) I am working at the drop in today and kitchen + makeup = fail and b) My face is still recovering from a masking disaster this week and is feeling very ouchy.

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer Ginger (for the bags that just won't go away)

Guerlain Blush perles

Shiseido Lacquer Rouge RD702 Savage

 

I thought I was going to look so nice and natural, but this Lacquer Rouge is much more bold than I was expecting.  Guess that's why it's savage 😉

This is a fabulous example of how a brilliantly hued lip can light up an entire face and make it glow! You are beautiful without much makeup, and that lip is absolutely stunning! 🙂

[Mochapj]

Thank you, ballerina!

If you hadn't listed only 3 products, I would've never guessed. You look incredible as usual, but the fact that you only used three products amazes me. Your skin is flawless, and your eyes are gorgeous naturally...I'm jealous

[Mochapj]

Thanks cupcakecandy!  That's so sweet 🙂

To be honest, most days the majority of my makeup is eye makeup.  I try to avoid foundation and tinted moisturizer as much as possible (for laziness) and usually just focus my efforts on these things;

1) covering eye circles (concealer)

2) lipstick (always)

3) eyeshadows and/or liner

4) blush about 50% of the time

If I wake up feeling fancy I might wear mascara, but most times I pass on that, too.  I am the laziest makeup obsessed person I know 😉

At your age you have no need of foundation. I only started with it in my forties. I think it's best to leave it till then 🙂

[Cupcakecandy]

Those are the things I focus on too! And I don't like too much mascara on myself either because I have intense dark circles, and mascara just looks darker if I use too much. And your skin....its so smooth, you don't even need a base! I used to use BB cream, but I don't anymore because I want to "preserve" my natural skin 😄

What happened with the mask?! This is a good look to show off your natural beauty 🙂 Can't tell anything bad happened to your face. If anything, it looks silky smooth. 

[Mochapj]

Thanks SD!

I was trying a red clay mask from FAB earlier this week and it was really burn-y on my skin (I think Wednesday?)

I woke up yesterday and felt really tight and dry so I was babying my face all day, but even washing with warm water was hurting.  I was gentle with it again last night and this morning I was starting to feel a bit less stressed, dry and sunburnt-ish, but I thought it best not to tempt fate.  

I figure the less I put on, the less likely it is to be distressed.

[SDdenm]

Yikes! 

[vegchililover78]

Mocha, you look glorious! Your skin is flawless. I love the minimalist approach, you look amazing.

[Mochapj]

Thanks, veg!  I've been attempting to up my skincare game over the last few months, and I really feel like it's starting to pay off.

Savage is an awesome shade on you!!!! 

[Mochapj]

Thank you, Vaashtii!

[TKLJ]

I really like the Savage (!!!) color on your lips. It pairs nicely with your au naturel eyes. Also, I'm super jealous of your crystal-clear skin.

[Mochapj]

Aw, thanks TKLJ!  

I really like the Savage color too, I was for some reason expecting it to be a nude (cuz, gloss? idk 😉 ) and was surprised when it wasn't.
