#LustyPlus Races Ready! Edition with #MOTD & #FOTD Makeup Picks!

Recently I was invited to spend the afternoon at the races with my new work crew! I was excited to get dressed up and have a few cheeky drinks! 

I spent most of Saturday morning getting ready, choosing what to wear and applying my makeup! I even decided to buy some new false lashes and take them for a spin but with all the fun, dancing (& drinking) they didn't last long! Lol 

My makeup all done with the false lashes before they came off! 

The Makeup : 

Base

For my base I cleansed and toned my skin using my current skin care routine from simple skin care and moisturised my skin with the simple clear skin oil balancing moisturiser. I applied a thin layer of FOA Cosmetics HD Primer (A current fave) and let it sink in.

Foundation, Powder, Highlighter & Bronzer.

I applied my MAC Cosmetics Studio Fix Fluid liquid foundation with my Real Techniques foundation brush and used my Prep and Prime Concealer under my eyes. 

I set my base with a thin application of my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish natural powder in the shade medium. 

I softly contoured my cheek bones and forehead and added some sun kissed warmth to my face using my Face Of Australia pressed matte bronzer 

Lippy & Blush

I added a smidge of my all time fave MAC Alluring Aquatic Multi Dimensional blush in shade Seduced At Sea to the top of my cheek bones and as a transition colour on my eyes. 

I chose the to match my lip colour to the beautiful soft pink featured in my dress and went with Australis Velour Lips in shade Lun-Dun. 

For my eyes I reached for my Chi Chi Cosmetics Pretty Palette. Sticking with my colour them of pink for the day, I used mainly the soft pastel pink shade (3rd Pan from the left pictured above and below!) 

I quickly swiped some 'Australis Tint My Brow' gel to keep my eyebrows neat and defined. 

I picked up some new simple Napoleon Perdis lashes to complete my eye look for the day!

Love this lip colour!

What I wore : 

I have had this beautiful dress with the tags still on for quite a while waiting for a nice occaison to wear it and feel really dressed to and girly! So when the memo came to me at work about race day I immediately had it in mind! 

This dress was perfect to be dressed up but not present as too over done. 

I was happy to wear mostly black because it's easier to match with accessories and the pop of pink became my colour choice for my makeup and nails! 

A silly pic of me taken by the man, wearing my pretty dress from city chic before I headed off for a day at the races!

Pic of the webbing detail of my dress for the day! I love this soft pink!

The soft pink webbing detail at the top of the dress's bodice makes for a lovely feminine stand out feature for this outfit of the day and the splice of pink along the skirt of the dress makes it a conservative but still cocktail dress appropriate length, (just past the knee) perfect for a day at the races! 

I was glad that the weather took a cooler turn for our day out and teamed my dress with a nice long sleeved black jacket also from city chic.
