#FOTD: beauty nostalgia (statement lipstick colour)

Nostalgia appears to be a constant in my life. There is a part of me that aches for the experiences of the past. I love imagining what life was like in different decades almost as much as I love remembering when my own world felt simpler and more optimistic. These days, my nostalgia has even included makeup and jewellery trends from the 2010s. I find myself missing bold statement necklaces and ultra colourful lipstick shades. There was a time that Sephora had blue, green, and purple lipsticks available from all sorts of brands. I loved that time in makeup so much! Back then, beauty was fun and daring and playful. So much of that has been lost to the "clean girl aesthetic" that has become popular in more recent years and it makes me sad. This recent #FOTD is anything but clean girl inspired. It features a fun statement lipstick perfectly suited to my nostalgia. 

To create a nostalgic makeup look with a statement lipstick colour, there were several items from my makeup collection chosen. This includes a couple of products found in the Revolution Advent Calendar. The first is the Mini Reloaded Eyeshadow Palette, which as a warm bronze colour and some mauve taupe colours. There are also some fun pink eyeshadow shades included, but for this particular makeup look, the idea was to do something a little more neutral on the eyes so the focus was on the statement lipstick colour. On the cheeks was a bit of bronzer and the Raise The Bar Highlight from Revolution. The highlight has a beautiful golden finish that pairs well with the neutral colours on the eyes. Of course, there was also the statement lipstick. This is one that my mom gifted me not too long ago and it is the Mattitude Liquid Lipstick in the shade Driven Motivee. This is a fun purple colour that reminds me of the different lipstick shades that used to be readily available.

This #FOTD used three different eyeshadows from the Mini Reloaded Eyeshadow Palette, including the shimmery bronze shade on the bottom row. This was applied all over the lid and then the two mauve taupe colours were worked through the crease for a little bit of contrast. Some bronzer was applied on the cheeks and then some of the Raise The Bar Highlighter was added for a bit of golden shine. To finish off this makeup look, the statement lipstick, Driven Motivee was applied. The colour was more vibrant in person, but still photographed nicely. It was fun incorporate some beauty nostalgia into a recent makeup look.
