fotd: borderline vampy

After weeks of pretty spring pastels, I thought I’d switch things up and go a little darker today. I feel most like myself in borderline-vampy makeup looks, so it was nice going back to my comfort zone.

I was road-testing Tarte’s Tartelette In Bloom palette for this look, and really liked it a lot – more than the original, in fact! It’s a lot warmer than Tartelette, which is what makes it a better palette for my colouring.

As for the lipstick, it’s my one true dark-red love: MAC Diva. Not at all spring-appropriate, but it seems quite fitting considering how blustery and cold LA has been these last couple days. It feels like we’re heading right back into fall!
