The other day I read a post by Baroque in Babylon (a fabulous blog, go follow her!) about Darling Girl's blushes; she highlighted some of her favorites, including Boy Crazy, an awesome "earthy mauve" colored blush. I had purchased a sample of Boy Crazy back when it was new but hadn't used it in a while, so reading this post reminded me that I needed to wear it again!
I built this look around Boy Crazy, using it on my face as both a cheek color/contour and an all-over bronzer to play up the neutral eyes and bright purple lips. Read on for the details!
My camera broke after taking the full-face shots, so I had to use a different one for the eye close-ups. I think they turned out okay, though they don't even remotely show how gorgeous Jeweled Taupe is in person.

-Reviva Labs primer
-Cover Girl 3-in-1 foundation in Ivory (trying this out)
-Wet N' Wild Coverall powder (lightest shade)

I've been looking for an excuse to wear my Heroine products, lol. I think they went perfectly with this neutral look.
I'm so sad I couldn't capture the epic beauty of Jeweled Taupe; the camera didn't even pick up the gorgeous pink sparkles. I'm in love with this shade and I'm sure anyone who tries it will love it too. Don't take my word for it though, just GET IT! ;)
Hope you enjoyed this, thanks for reading!♥
