FOTD + OOTD: Poised
Wednesday, June 13, 2012 at 10:54AM I feel at my best in shift dresses and soft makeup. I like to try new things, of course, but I always come back to this combination when I want to feel pretty and confident. I guess I can call this my trademark style!
Forever 21 dress/ Aldo bag/ Charles & Keith heels/ Pinkbox earrings and ring/ Snaps the pomeranian
So, my advice to young women is this: keep a shift dress (or ten!) on hand for whenever you want to look all poised and ladylike. SM carries SO MANY nice shifts, but I also like rummaging in Celine and Forever 21. Take this draped shift for example - it's one of my best finds.
Yes, contrary to popular belief, Forever 21 also carries a lot of classy stuff. :P Anyway, here's the makeup I wore with it! I decided to go with soft eyes - meaning no harsh lines or too thick lashes. Cheeks and lips are also subtle as well. They're a bit on the brown/orange spectrum because I wanted to match them with dress.
Face: Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow liquid foundation, Lancome Maqui Blanc Miracle powder foundation to set, MAC Studio Sculpt concealer
Cheeks: Benefit Hervana Blush / Contour: Benefit Hoola
Eyeshadows: UDPP, Kanebo Kate Shadow CQ in BR-1 (the bronzy brown on the lid), MAC Femme Fi on the browbone
Eye definition: Avon eyebrow pencil, Shu Uemura Eye Crayon in Soft Brown as eyeliner, Shu Uemura Ultimate Natural Mascara
Lips: Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Lipstick in OR 541
And that's it! Hope you like the look. :)

That dress is so lovely.
Looking great as always! So true, you look so beautiful and confident with this outfit Ms.Liz! I love the combination! And you look so fresh and young with the FOTD! hehe cute ni SNAPS, kasama sa photoshoot!
love your eyes! is that some kind of bluish contact lens?
yes, i love the dress... you look lovely!
You look pretty on the dress. But, I don't think I would also look pretty wearing that dress. I love the shoes and the bag. It matches my style <3
Ur shoes are to die for!! Love it!!
Love your lippie :) looks amazing on you!
Thanks guys! HI Skyray, those are amethyst contact lenses. Looks a bit bluish-gray on me but I like it. Got it from Executive Optical.
