This makeup is gorgeous. I love how the colors compliment each other. And OMG, just how great is the Koh Gen Do foundation! That thing is seriously my holy grail. Never has a foundation stolen my heart as much as that one, & never has one matched my extremely olive Asian skin. I’m happy that you enjoy it, Karima. 🙂
P. S. I know that you gave this look a sneak preview on your Instagram, but is the eye makeup the same as this Instagram post? (https://instagram.com/p/wTLZJuID7Z/?modal=true)
Have a wonderful Christmas, Karima!
Hey TP 🙂
Glad you like the look! YES Koh Gen Do Aqua is incredible, great olive shade too (a bit dark for me when it’s not summer but I don’t mind lifting the shade, that’s easy if the undertone is right).
The instagram makeup you linked has become a tutorial, you can see it here 🙂

Have a wonderful new years eve! xx
*hugs you back*!
Don’t think I’ll be wearing any makeup for the festive season.
Naw 🙁 I slept in for Christmas and my makeup had to be quick but for NYE, I’m going all out! x
Very very pretty!
You are not the first blogger that I see loving that foundation. Unfortunately, in these side of the planet I would not even know where to start looking for it. I have recently discovered the Smooth Flawless whatever Laura Mercier foundation and I am very happy with it
Plus, girl you are creating a MUG need there! I have been eyeing thier pigments for a while now (and their eyeshadows, and their blushes and their foiled eyeshadoes) and I fear that if I even order, the plane carrying my order across the ocean might not have space for any other parcels!
I’ve heard good things about that Laura Mercier foundation, her shade range doesn’t cater well to my skin tone though (the undertones just look strange).
Makeup Geek is awesome! Fantastic quality, consistent, decent price point and I love Marlena. She seems like a ray of sunshine so I’m happy to support her 🙂

those eyelashes are GORGEOUS! wowzer!
xo sj
Cool huh! I picked them on a whim and it totally worked out *fist pump*

What a lovely look! Happy holidays for you and all your loved ones, Karima! I’m doing a soft natural look today, inspired by you and Chloe Morello and the products you frequently use (RBR eyeliner for tightlining is just perfect), When will you two do a collab :D?
Gurl I would love to collab with her, she’s hilarious. One day! x
Yay! So glad you’re loving the Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation. Isn’t it so amazing? LOL
SO good! It doesn’t break up around the nose towards the end of the day either, WIN! x
That lipstick is gorgeous on you.
