Holiday Makeup How-to with Becca Cosmetics: Bronze Smokey Eye, Pink Cheeks and Lips

December 8th, 2007 by Karen 15 Comments

Perfect for the Office Holiday Par-tay

Why do they call office holiday get togethers “parties”? Everybody knows the only reason you show up is because you have to!

So, what do I do when I know I’ll be subjected to this farce o’ revelry? I buy a new dress to ease the pain a bit and work some fierce makeup, of course.

This year I plan to wear a bronze, gold and khaki smokey eye with punchy pink cheeks and lips. Lynn Furge, Becca cosmetics national artist and all around cool lady, created this look just for Makeup and Beauty Blog. Pretty, yah?

The beautiful Marcella Faustini, a Bay Area in-house artist for Becca, worked her magic when re-creating the look:

Mega Becca Sale on Sephora.com

Sephora.com has a huge sale on Becca cosmetics right now. I picked up the Nut Tinted Moisturizer for $10.00 (normally 40 bucks!) and the Coffee Stick Foundation for $9.75 (usually $39.00). Many items are out of stock, but you still may be able to find a lil’ something on deeeeep discount.

Have a groovy Saturday! I’m off to the gym to do some cardio. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    NICE! I love the Laura Mercier TM (more than the Oil-free foundation.

    If you don’t have them already, check out Nars blush in Amour!

    GOOD LUCK ON YOUR TESTS!!!

    I Love MAC,

    I don’t own any The Multiples but I’m lemming them to. A few months ago I bought something similar by Laura Mercier – The Illuminating Stick in Golden Honey Glow. It’s really pretty!

    I thought of you today because I wore NARS blush in TORRID!

    Hi Karen,
    I have been lurking for a while, and finally decided to post a comment. I love this Becca look!

    Similar to you, I use LM oil-free foundation for my “dressy” days. Recently I’ve been using Becca’s tm and stick foundation as everday, easy foundation. LOVE them. I haven’t tried their color products yet, but have been lemming cheek tint for a long time. And lurex e/s looks fab!

    (but I must say, in the policy of full disclosure, my favorite holiday look you have done so far is the mac one, with the purple and red MES). Thanks for a good daily read.

    Hi Amanda! Thank you so much for popping by to say “Hi”!

    I am still waiting for the Becca TM and stick foundation I ordered a week ago from Sephora. I can’t wait for it to come! Do you use powder over it? I can’t wait to try it!

    I’m so bummed Sephora will no longer be carrying the line. I feel ya pain on the cheek tint. I want that badly … I bet it will be handy for the gym and for summertime makeup.

    Aww, and many thanks to you for reading the blog! I’m glad it can be a part of your day. 🙂

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
