Who puts on makeup before going to McDonald's? I did, the other day... and took pictures of this FOTD before walking out the door. My focus was on gold, highlighting/contouring, and keeping everything as smooth as possible. I say the best choice that I made here was opting for a cream foundation -- MAC Studio Fix stick -- because otherwise, highlights and contours can appear chalky/unblended in photos.

FACE: MAC Studio Fix foundation stick (NC45), MAC eyeshadow in Mystery to contour the cheeks (applied with a damp brush), Estee Lauder Ideal Light highlighter/concealer undereyes and on inner corners of eyes, Revlon Skinlights Face Illuminating Lotion in Warm Light to warm up my cheekbones, then Lancome Blush Subtil in Shimmer Coral Sunset applied lightly.

EYES: I started out by lining my eyes then drawing the contour with Clarins Waterproof Eyeliner in Black. I filled in the lid and blended out the contour with MAC Eyeshadow in Mystery. I applied Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Chopper (a shimmery gold) from inner to middle lid & highlighted the browbone with Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Sin (a shimmery tan). I defined my top lash line with Wet 'N Wild Megaliner (liquid) in black then applied false eyelashes & curled them on top of my own.

LIPS: Clinique lipstick in Nude Pearls
