FOTD Friday: Iman Cosmetics, Take 1
As promised, my darlings, I am doing a face of the day from my run-in with some Iman Cosmetics goodies. I’ll incorporate them in more FOTDs and with complete reviews and all!
This time I played around with the eyeshadow Mahogany.
This is such a beautiful soft brown that blends like a dream. It’s a matte..and it may be one of my favorite mattes of all time. Just look at how the brush soaks it up.
Wow! I applied it on the outer-V and crease like so….
Okay, so I am REALLY in love with Mahogany, y’all. It gave me such depth with little effort. As with most mattes, a little goes a long way so if you use this, you better use a light hand or you may apply too much.
On to the cheeks….I used Iman Cosmetics’ Freesia blush.
Now, at first swatch…I really thought I would like this. It looked beautiful against my skin when I swatched it on the arm, see?
But it was a different story when I applied it on the cheeks. It looked like I got punched on both sides. I ain’t lyin’, yall.
It could very well be me. I’ll admit I’m not the best with darker blushes application. I’ll have to consult with a make-up artist on this one. Here’s the look all pulled together!
MAC Studio Finish concealer in NW45
Iman Cosmetics Freesia blush
MAC MSF in Petticoat (I had to put this over Freesia)
EYES:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
L’Oreal Shadow paint in Witty
Cargo bronzer in medium
Iman Cosmetics Mahogany e/s
NARS Edie e/s
Urban Decay 24/7 liner in Zero
NYC Cosmetics eyeliner in Teal
Lancome Ink Artliner in Indigo Charm
Dolce & Gabanna’s lipstick in Dahlia
…I love this lipstick so much I even took a picture of it and put it on my laptop’s desktop. HA!
Oh….back to the topic at hand.
And I’m still leaving positive notes in random places for people to see.
Y’all should really get on the Operation Beautiful bandwagon. It’s quite addicting, I tell ya! And what better addiction to have than to make people feel good about themselves? I try to do it every day.
I’m such a cornball. HA!
Alright darlings….have a WONDERFUL weekend

i like the shade as eyeshadow
love it!
i wish i could put on make up the way you can. i think part of my problem is that i dont own a lot of make up so i have nothing to play with.
If you're still rockin' that same blush in the last pictures, I'd say it came out well in the end!
I've been wanting to try Iman products! You look lovely today! Just foudn your blog, can't wait to read more.
I think the blush looks good on you. With IMAN (very pigmented) less is more.
I'm waiting for beautyticket.com to stock back up on those blushes.
Hi cutie pie…B be rockin it! lol.
^ its me…I got keyboard happy lmao!
did you apply the blush with a skunk brush?? the only other thing i can think of is apply it in really sheer washes–its easier to add more than take some away. And i think you look absolutely darling in the car pictures!
beautiful!!!! I love the lipstick too and operation beautiful
Cute! and I love your purple glasses!! I want a frame like that.
Very pretty neutral color.
You look great in purple.
I love Iman's make up – I purchased a bag of hers from HSN and the make up came with and it's beautiful. The colors you have are beautiful on you…
