Inspired by Rachel Weisz - Chanel and Beaute FOTD

I loved the look that Rachel Weisz was wearing at The Lovely Bones premiere, and found a great breakdown of it here at BlogdorfGoodman.blogspot.com. I was inspired to give it a go myself tonight, as I already own and love the Murano Quad. I subbed Chanel Blush Fresque for the Tweed Rose (I won't buy products with oversprays), and Beaute Masochist weightless lip creme for the Dragon Rouge Allure Laque, but only because the Dragon was sold out at both Chanel counters we visited today (it will be mine as soon as I find it.) I was wearing Beaute Liqui-Gel Stain in Fever earlier today, and you can see it on my cheeks underneath the Chanel Fresque (I think I'd prefer this look with a more neutral cheek, just with the Fresque.)


Picture of the products used:

Incidentally, how excited am I about Chanel Spring? TheBeautyLookBook.com has glorious pictures of a lot of the collection here (it's already out in some bits of the USA), and I think I will need the Kaska beige eyeshadow quad, Rouge Allure lipstick in Impertinente (a dusty rose) and the nail polish in Particuliere (the taupe.)

  5. @Cocamia - me too, I think she's stunning, and a great actress too.

    @Musing on Beauty - thank you :) The Beaute lip cremes are absolutely gorgeous, they feel lovely on the lips. He has a great eye for colour.

    @The Makeup Mole - Oh, you'll have already seen it all! So envious of you right now. Thank you for your confirmation :)

    Hey Helen - I think *one* nail polish on the wedding list is allowed....

  7. Very pretty!
    I love that blush too -- do I 'need' another blush though?
    Me thinks yes.

  8. This is a great look on you. The eyes look awake and defined yet they dont steal the attention from the lips. Perfect combo!! x

  9. Hi Get Lippie - they do look like lovely colours.

    Hey Michelle - lol, only you can say if you *need* it. These are really on the sheer side in my experience though.

    Hi Tali - thank you :)

  12. I'm still trying to decide about the Murano. But it looks really subtle on both you and Rachel Weisz. Can you give more details about the shades you used from the quad?

  13. Hi Anonymous.

    I used the top left shade (medium green) on my outer lid and in my crease, and the pink on the inner half of my lid, blended into the green. I used the palest seafoam green to line my lower lashline, and the darkest green to line my upper lashline.

    This is a really pretty quad; I'll do it again and try to get a closer picture of the eye, if that'd be helpful?
